I should be working, but I just can't hold off dealing with the latest spoilers any longer!
Casting sides for this ep are out now. Hold on to your hats, here comes my summary!
We have flashbacks where Angel is Angelus, and infact this is where the first of the sides opens....
Spike and Angelus are shackled - and before you get excited it says nothing about being shackled together - and an Italian geezer unlocks them, to their great surprise, and apologises about having to detain them like that. But their recent actions have been a cause for concern with his boss - his benevolence the Immortal. A stiff reprimand is mentioned *fans the Spanglers*
Angelus claims the city is theirs because they were there first, but the Italian corrects him. The Immortal was there 300 years ago. He tells them to leave the city tonight and never return and then.... Angelus snaps his neck! Heyho! There are men with crossbows, but Angelus says he'll "snatch your wee sticks out of the air and spend the next fortnight showing you all the ways I know how to use a sharp and pointy." Right.... *ahem*
This is enough to send the bowmen running in the opposite direction, and Spike and Angelus begin thinking of what to do about the Immortal - blood vengeance is called for.
Still in flashback, 1894. In Italy and at night. For those of you who go clubbing and thought bouncers just HAD to be demons, here's the proof! ;D We have bouncer demons manning... or demoning... the building, and checking a guest list. Nope, no Blood Vengeance listed *snerk* Spike suggests Angelus' name instead. But no, they are not on the Immortal's list. When they try to gatecrash they are stopped by a mystical barrier, and are told they ain't going in. S/A aren't happy.
Back in the present, I presume, Spike and Angel are discussing... someone (argh! ). Spike says she's smarter than that, and Angel says she wouldn't fall for "such a shifty guy with a dark past who may or may not still be evil." Heh! They both realise what he is saying and move swiftly on, Spike asserting that "she" must be under a spell! Angel agrees! And they decide to find the Immortal and "break his whammy"... whatever that means!
Enter old demon lady, talking Italian and carrying a bowling bag type thing. She thanks "Mr Angel" and says they are in his debt for dealing with this, and hands him the bag. Er, the Capo di Familia of
the Goran demon clan is in the bag?! As Spike says, he must have been a wee fella! He and Angel peer inside... ah, just his head, then. The old gal explains that when a Goran demon gets so old, their head...er... falls off "like a ripe fig". A new version of the guy will spring out from the head if the rituals are performed in time. And they have to get the head back to LA, pronto!
Ack! Next brief scene - BUFFY'S APARTMENT, at night, in Rome. The hallway. DAWN opens the door to find Angel and Spike (who is carrying the bag).
Dundunduuuunnnnn!
Hip crowd in an Italian dance club, music reverberating, Angel uncomfortable. Heh! He and Spike make for the bar. Spike attracts the attention of a comely barwench... er, the female bartender and asks if she speaks English. She says, in a heavy accent, that she loves the English. Fine. Spike plonks the bagged head on the bar. When asked what they want, Angel says they are looking for a girl. And Spike describes her - ack! The bartender indicates the crowd and says there are a lot of gals like that about right now (blonde, blue eyed, American, perky *ugh!*). But they say she is their friend, she's in trouble and Spike mentions the Immortal. Aaaaah! Yes! The Immortal's new girlfriend. They're here. There! S/A look over, see a crowd surrounding two dancers, possibly a swirl of blonde hair. But that's all. No full frontals!
She goes a little wild, si?! Oops. Spike heads off into the throng but Angel follows, saying they were doing this together. Spike points out Angel's lack of dancing prowess, and Angel wonders if Spike plans on challenging the Immortal to a dance-off! ROTFLMFAO!!He accuses of him of playing the big hero for the B-word. Spike assures him no, he doesn't think he ever had a chance with her (those self esteem issues need addressing, poor love!), but he cares about her anyway and doesn't want her to end up with creepy old Immortal. Or Angel! Heh!
Still in the club but back at the bar, she has *poofed*, they didn't find her, and the bartender is trying to calm them down. She apparently left with the I in a swanky car... Looks like they have mislaid the head as well, the eejits!! Angel suggests Spike fly back to LA to rally the troops and tap into W&H resources, but Spike isn't having any. As he points out, they have a branch here!
And it turns out to be JUST like the LA branch! Oh my word. The boss of the Rome branch is "Ilona costa Bianchi rushing out of her office to meet them. Peroxide blonde, ex-porn star turned CEO. Cicciolina meets Donnatella Versace." The teen boys might like this, then. She knows who they are... and she fancies Spike! Well, who can blame her?! She wants to do anything she can to help them..... She seems nice, says Spike! ;D
Hey, apparently Spike's duster has been destroyed at some point, but boo! Ilona has spares She helps him put it on. The woman is dangerous, I tell ya!! She has sent 10 more Italian leather dusters back to LA for him. Fucking hell! And shoes!
Meanwhile, Angel walks in in fancy dress - Italian motorcycle jacket, which is "bright and loud, with red and yellow lettered Italian words all over it". The big lug doesn't think it is "him"....
They want their head back! Ilona tells them this needs the softly-softly treatment and leave it to them... all the while leading them out and shutting the door behind them! Grrr, the lads want to get on with it themselves and head for the elevators......
..... we're in LA. Fred's parents are at W&H and stepping into the elevator. They exchange niceties with "Fred" and go. Wesley's face falls and goes cold as he asks Illyria if it got what it needed from that experience. It did. Don't ever do it again, says Wes as he stalks off. Illyria is all confused.
And I'm getting dizzy! Back in Italy, Alfonso and his "goons" are surrounding S/A, and discussing the Immortal and the B-word. Spike reckons the I has been playing them and is behind all this, and he describes B as his girl and then corrects himself - "our girl". They are both sick of Italy.... and attack the henchmen, while Alfonso tosses the head-bag around. Actually , they can have it he says, if they just pay up. So they do.
Left to themselves, Spike asks Angel if he thinks Alfonso is right when he says the I has nothing to do with this....
And that's it. Doesn't look like we are going to see Buffy (I fervently hope!). Seems quite entertaining though.
