Music:
Karaoke in Caritas -- "My Heart Doesn't Live Here Anymore" by Scott Nikoley & Jaime Dunlap
In the elevator -- "Poolside" by Daniel Stein
Karaoke in Caritas -- "Reunited" by Peaches & Herb (edit) This episode received a rating of 4.3/6 in the overnight Nielsen ratings, ranking 4th out of 16 WB shows for that week. (edit) Tim Minear originally wanted this episode to end with Angel to stake Darla after having sex with her and him to say: "Was it good for you?" However, Joss Whedon wasn't ready just yet to let Julie Benz and her character go. (edit) J. August Richards does the "Previously on Angel" voiceover. (edit) We find out that Holland's contract with Wolfram and Hart extends beyond his death (something we also find out happens with Lilah in Season 4's finale). In that episode we also learn it is impossible to destroy the contract, so effectively Holland and Lilah are owned by them for ever. (edit)

Holland: Something you're supposed to prevent. Now, what was that?
Angel: The apocalypse.
Holland: Yes, the apocalypse, of course. Another one of those. Well, it's true, we do have one scheduled. And I imagine if you were to prevent it you would save a great many people. Well, you should do that, then. Absolutely, I wasn't thinking. Of course, all those people you save from that apocalypse will then have the next one to look forward to, but hey, it's always something, isn't it? (edit) Virginia: Creepy crawlies and scary monsters I can handle. But guns? Kinda makes it all a little too real, you know?
Wesley: The gun was fired by a zombie, if it makes you feel any better. (edit) Denver: To kill the Kleynach and get the ring, you need the glove.
Angel: Okay, now you're making this up. (edit) Denver: You know, you changed my life that day. I mean, a vampire comes into my place looking to kill a demon to save human beings? Well, I figured if something like that could happen there really must be good in the world.
Angel: Right, so you never heard of this term before, "Home Office"?
Denver: Hey, how'd that go, anyway? It was a Thesulac paranoia demon, if I recall.
Angel: Yeah, I don't know. I think it killed everyone there.
Denver: ...Oh. Well, the point is, you tried.
Angel: Actually, I pretty much walked out and let the demon have the place and everyone in it. (edit) Wesley: Clearly it's easier for the Sharps to cast us as con artists rather than accept the grim reality that Skilosh spawn nearly hatched full-grown out of their child's skull.
Gunn: Gee, wonder why? (edit)

Gunn: Gee, wonder why? (edit)
The first three paragraphs of Lindsey's paper on the 75 year review simply repeat themselves.
(edit)
When Angel barges into the new agency to grab a book, Cordy takes it away and gives him a phone book. He puts that back. But when Wesley instructs her to give him the book, she gives him a different book than the one he had choosen before. Either he doesn't notice, doesn't care, or someone goofed.
(edit)
When Angel spots Darla with the black wig, he puts the holy water on her to reveal her vamp face, right? Well, if you look closely, you'll see that she was already in vamp mode before the water actually hits her face. This is definitely a goof because if she was already in vamp mode, the people standing right next to her would have noticed.
(edit)
If you look closely, when Angel pulls the top off the bottle of holy water, a little spills on his hand. Shouldn't he be like "Ouch!"
(edit)
Angel pulls Darla's dark wig off, but during the fight there's a brief shot in which you can see her wearing the wig.
(edit)
The Host/Lorne: I think the general angst is not so much about the review, but more about the reviewer. And, let's just say it ain't Rex Reed.
Rex Reed is a long-time movie critic, known for co-hosting At The Movies in the early '80s. He currently writes reviews for the New York Observer. (edit)
