Last time, we saw Angel he was hell bent on getting Mohra blood and bringing Giles back from the dead, thinking that by fixing his latest debacle he’d be back on the path of righteousness. Angel and Faith had located the last known vials, since the Mohra killed himself, and were in the middle of a drag out brawl to keep their prize.

Now, Pearl and Nash make a mess of the auction, and Angel vamps out, but it’s Faith who has the upper hand and  walks away with the vial of Mohra blood. Even though Faith continues to follow Angel, she has plans of her own. Plans that don’t include taking on half demon spawn, or magic blood, but plans that come closer to normalcy for Angel.

And just before she’s about to make an irrevocable choice, the choice is taken out of her hands, and what they find is the last thing they expected. In a world devoid of magic, seems someone has turned to science, and created their very own Island of Dr Moreau in their basement, without the cute furriness.

Pearl and Nash are up to some tricks, but what they intend is still left to be seen. Which is probably bad, badder, and baddest for our favorite brooding vampire. As Faith delivers good news, she gets bad news in return, maybe some really bad news.

Christos Gage delivers another great chapter to the Angel and Faith saga. His twists are delightful and the remains storytelling is very fluid, this series should not be missed by any fan of the Whedonverse.
