Warning: Spoilers
Blood Money has an old rival of Angel's come to town, intent on challenging him to a fight. Angel's busy tracking a young woman who runs a teen shelter Wolfram & Heart has taken an interest in. All this comes to a head with a scheme of Angel's that twists and turns all the way to the finish as W&H attempts to swindle millions of dollars from the shelter.

This was a pretty humdrum episode of Angel. The entire premise of W&H stealing money from a children's homeless shelter is almost laughable in its pure evilness. Don't they have better ways to occupy their time and make absurd amounts of money? Also the ending with actual blood on the money was wayyyyy too much on the nose. How about a little subtlety guys?

Its interesting that this character (now going by Anne) continues to pop up. We'll see if she sides with Angel. Her previous meetings with Buffy might help Angel in the future.

Angel is ready to go off the deep end. He's finally fed up and ready to get sadistic. Will this cause him to go down an even darker path? Unlikely, but possible.

We finally learn why W&H have been keeping him around, he's important during the apocalypse. If they want him to go crazy, it is working.

Conclusion: Skippable episode that pours it on thick!
