What do you tell a woman who has two black eyes? Nothing you haven't already told her twice

What do you tell a woman who has two black eyes? Nothing you haven't already told her twice - Men vs Women, 'Billy' is back, it's finally revealed what he can do, by only touching another male he can bring out something primal in them that makes them want to hurt the female species. The best thing about this episode is that we get to see a completely different side from every character, most notable is evil, creepy 'Wesley' trying to axe-murder his beloved 'Fred' and almost succeeding. 'Fred's character was also very notable, how she managed to survive on her own by knocking out 'Gunn' with a chair-leg and then building a trap for 'Wesley'. I also loved the Cangelness of this episode, 'Angel' learning 'Cordy' how to fight and then protecting her from 'Billy'. Another favorite was 'Lilah', she almost got strangled by 'Gavin', I loved her scene with 'Cordelia' where they talked about shoes and the definition of a bitca, I was very surprised when she showed up at the airport and shot 'Billy'. This is certainly one of my favorite season 3 episodes, it managed to be both creepy, unique and character developing. I loved the last scene of the episode where 'Fred' goes to visit 'Wesley' and tells him he's a good man, is the first time I digged the thought of those two characters ending up together. Shame that 'Fred's character falls into the background for most of the rest of this season. I wish 'Billy' would have been able to come back one way or another. BILLY: I don't hate women. I mean, sure, you're all whores who sell yourselves for money and prestige, but men are just as bad. Maybe even worse. They're willing to throw away careers or families, or even lives for what's under your skirt. CORDELIA: I'm wearing pants. BILLY: So, you can dress like a man, talk like a man? Does that make you feel superior? CORDELIA: Actually, I'm feeling superior because I have an arrow pointed at your jugular. And the irony of using a phallic shaped weapon? Not lost on me.
