Welcome to week 9 of the 2007 Sizzlin’  Episode Festival!
The second most requested Angel episode for 2007 is . . . .
Orpheus
It was her choice. Faith knew the risks.
Connor: Magic. This is what it gets you.
. . .
Wesley: It leads you down to hell. And leaves you there.
Dude, you just rescued a puppy.
We're reliving Angel's good deeds —- you are in hell! Wicked!
Wesley: A lot's happened. Not just Angelus. I've been—I've changed. I've seen a darkness in myself. I'm not sure you'd even begin to understand—
Willow: I flayed a guy alive and tried to destroy the world.
Wesley: Oh. So...
Willow: Darkness. Been there.
Wesley: Yeah. Well, I never flayed... I had a woman chained in a closet.
Willow: (being supportive) Hey!
Wesley: That doesn't compare.
Willow: No, dark. That's dark. You've been to a place.
You wanna go, Glinda? We'll go.
 
OK, now all I gotta do is contact the spirit world, harness the Delothrian ebb, and focus it through my little marble of doom here.
Angelus: He's hiding from what he is—which may be a big Psych 101 revelation for you, cupcake, but I already know this crap, so why do I have to go through it again?
Angel: Maybe 'cause it's not about you, jackass.
You have to kill your father. You have to. Now, before anything else goes wrong. [/size] Don’t remember all the fine details of the ep? Watch your DVDs or videos or take the “read more about it” route!

This episode is important, at least in my mind for two things:
One is clarifying that the Angel/Angelus schism is actually a construct created by Angel to cope with being unwillingly souled.
The other is for arguing that going back to jail would be the wrong thing for Faith to do at this point.
The episode also shows that Willow is growing more confident in using magic again, and also how much her power has grown over time: at the end of season 2, the re-ensouling spell was a toughie, but by now, it's pretty much a walk in the park.
Also, Orpheus is kind of like the Spice in the sense of sharing consciousness.
I like the scene that Alexis and Allyson have, but it sort of seems like not enough respect is given to the gravitas of what each of them went through.
