The journey of an Angel and Faith

Faith is probably one of the best characters ever created for a TV series. Her journey from hero, to villain, to a woman trying to find redemption is a powerful one. Faith's guilt and self loathing, especially in this episode, make her a powerful character and one you want to see reach a happy ending to her journey.

Elisa Dushku is brilliant as Faith, her best role to date, mostly due to the wide range this character has afforded her to play.

The journey of both Faith and Angelus through Angel's past was very well written and a great way to give Faith the strength to continue with her own journey, to fight the good fight again rather than merely rotting in jail.

A very powerful, well written, beautifully directed episode of "Angel".
