In this spoiler friendly review of the Angel episode “In the Dark,” hosts Steven and Cari discuss the true depth of Cordelia and Oz’s friendship, which popular 90’s trend sprang from the Buffyverse, and whether or not malicious torture is the best way to get know a man.
In case it’s been a minute since you looked up your old pals in L.A. and monologued about them from a rooftop, here’s a quick recap of the episode: In the show’s first official crossover, our favorite two black nail polish wearing fellas from Sunnydale pay Angel Investigations a visit. Oz gives Angel a magical invincibility ring compliments of Buffy, and Spike gives Angel an afternoon of torture compliments of a creepy vampire named Marcus. Meanwhile, Doyle and Cordelia hatch a plan to save their friend that leads to a Fast and Fieryous climax.
