The gang resolves to bring forth Angel's evil alter ego, Angelus, and they know that only a moment of pure happiness will spur this transformation.

The whole true moment of happiness in Angel's fantasy of course culminated in sleeping with/allowing himself to fall in love with Cordelia but I suspect it also had a lot to do with the entire faux adventure leading up to it. Putting together the pieces of a puzzle to locate a mystic artifact, the adventure involved trying to find it, an epic battle with Beast, saving the world from darkness, reconciling with Connor, everyone coming together, and finally getting the girl, all very hero-y tropey kind of stuff. The perfect adventure leading to everything being right with Angel's world again and allowing him to be perfectly happy and therefore lose his soul. A really great concept that works well the first time, one of the most frustrating episodes for those of us that have already seen it😆

well said :) I think the twist at the end works really well because it makes sense that the shaman can’t bypass the conditions of the curse completely. He likely had to invoke a combination of a spell + a hallucination of perfect happiness.

"Well said" thank you, friend, I appreciate that🙂 It's really pretty clever how we're low-key conditioned to think what's going to happen is just this spell that somehow sucks Angel's soul out, using the words like "extracted," the last faux extraction we saw in Buffy 3x17 Enemies, and just how magic works in general, and then it turns out that we're basically just playing by the rules all along. Sneaky sneaky lol Perfect happiness, that's really all that was required, simple as that.

SoFie, I think Angelus was 😆at all of us…as we always forget that Josh Wheaton (and GRRM) giving us what we want is like the story of making wishes with the enchanted the monkey paw…wishes granted always go sideways.

2023-03-21 12:51:40 I don't think Wes & Cordelia forgot the drug from season 1, I think it's more a case that the writers hoped viewers had forgotten lol There has been a lot of discussion over the years about it & more often than not, the whole Angelus/Drug portion is more often viewed as sloppy storytelling/writing. The writers needed an unstable outburst to show Rebecca how dumb it was to want to be a Vampire, but couldn't have Angel do those things to her, so they needed Angelus, but just for a few hours, but how.... The drug does seem like it was a writers room "deus ex machina". They had an unsolvable problem in the script and a drug that wears off after a few hours was their fix.

There's also a small portion of people who think that it's not actually Angelus in the season 1 episode though, which would make it a better told story. Wesley does suggest that the drug is just chemical suggestion and that what they were seeing Angel experience was not actually real Angelus, which would mean that it is actually Angel doing all those things to Rebecca but because of the drug all the things he might normally do to scare someone like Rebecca are done so more aggressively with less thought as to how it would affect her.

So many faces made during one reaction, it might be a record. Good to see another viewer sucked in, always fantastic to see the realisation at the end.

Yeah, I thought that was the explanation, otherwise Angelus wouldn't revert once the drug wore off. It was Angel high and believing he was Angelus.

I think that in addition to what they needed to do with Rebecca in the story, they needed to show Angelus to anyone who had picked up Angel without watching Buffy. They needed a glimpse of this terrible alter ego everyone was always talking about.
