<Episode 33: Becoming (Part I)>

EPISODE COLLAGE: Becoming (Part I)
Season: Episode 21 of Season 2
Original Air Date: 05/12/1998
Written by: Joss Whedon
Directed by: Joss Whedon

Notes:
Angelus gets his hands on a dormant demon (Acathla) and decides to send the world to hell by waking him up.

Plot Highlights:

Flashbacks: Darla makes Angelus, Angelus meets Dru. Acathla is unearthed, Angelus snags him. Buffy finds Jenny's soul-returning spell. Kendra comes to town. Flashback: Whistler takes Angel to see Buffy called. Angelus' attempt to wake Acathla fails, so he distracts Buffy while Dru kills Kendra and kidnaps Giles.

Memorable Moments:

  • Flashback: Darla luring drunken Liam into an ally for his transformation into Angelus.
  • Xander's Fish stick theater, "zee language of love", a chair shortage and a killer Synder slam from Cordelia all in one scene.
  • Angelus' messing with human Drusilla's head, cutting to present Dru; the moon whispering to her, with a little help from Spike's morning papers.
  • Xander ticking everyone off by championing the un-popular forget-the-curse-let's-kill-Angelus p.o.v.
  • Spike's snarky jabs at Angelus: the "it's a big rock" line and especially the wonderfully insulting "someone wasn't worthy" sing-song.
  • Angelus' mocking "and you fall for it every time!" to Buffy as she runs to the fallen Kendra's side.

NOTES ON EPISODE ART: CREATED 11/2001 ~Thought I might as well do a collage for another old episode while I was waiting for the next installment of new episodes to arrive in my mailbox, and so here it is. Mayhap we should call this one: "Angelus: not a nice guy".
