So much I want to say but can not say without spoiling things! Glad you enjoyed this episode, they really pulled out all the stops this season. The actress playing Jasmine, Gina Torres, is sooo good at projecting that outward serenity with a touch of menace beneath. I also love the comedic moments of this arc, not that there are many, but the way Wes, Gunn, Angel, and Connor fall all over themselves around Jasmine gets me every time.

I LOVE the explanation that we are—FINALLY—given in this episode for how Connor’s existence is possible, and it drives me a little nuts that it isn’t given more weight in the episode. Jasmine just says it and the scene moves on. I’ve found that a lot of people don’t even realize this was the explanation, because the reveal just isn’t treated with enough significance. But I do think it’s a brilliant piece of writing. Angel and Darla earned a miracle and didn’t get it, they were owed a life. And when they slept together at the end of season 2, the opportunity was created to pay that debt, and give them the impossible life they’d earned… it’s SO GOOD, why is it revealed so casually?! LOL Small thing that I’m not sure if you realized—when Angel said to Fred “I’ve seen it, too,” he went on to just ramble about the glory of Jasmine. He was assuming that Fred was overwhelmed with worship and was just empathizing with that. Angel has not seen the face that Fred now does. :)

Oh, I forgot to add, I love the call-back of night-blooming jasmine. Remember when Angelus, Spike, and Drusilla moved into their mansion in Sunnydale, Drusilla was ecstatic over the garden. Angelus: Jasmine. Night-blooming. Drusilla: Like us! A number of years ago, I was in a production of Dracula that was staged in Casa Loma--a castle that an eccentric rich man built in Toronto in the early 1900s. We did a couple scenes in the beautiful conservatory, and there actually was night-blooming jasmine growing in there! Every night the actor playing Dracula would pick a jasmine blossom to put in his lapel, and I would hear Drusilla's "Like us!" in my head. :D

Woo let madness reign. Hard to talk about this arc because spoilers but i look forward to the discussion afterwards. It is certainly a unique and amazing adversary both in Angel and Buffy franchise parts.

I really love how Season 4 ties so much of Season 1-3 together into a narrative (:

This season's final arc is so unique and interesting, I absolutely love it ❤️ Very creepy and some great Lovecraftian horror; They Live is a very apt comparison. One of the things that's so fantastic about Season 4 is that it's basically a culmination of almost everything from the first three seasons into a cohesive story that only becomes apparent at this late stage. As Elizabeth said, it's great to finally get a payoff for the Trials that Angel went through and an explanation for Connor's existence, and she beat me to the punch mentioning the callback to jasmine in the garden of Angel's mansion in Sunnydale lol It's said very quickly so I'm not sure if you picked up on it, but when she's talking to the group in the bedroom (in the same conversation where she explains Connor's birth), she also casually reveals that she's one of the Powers-That-Be, come down to Earth in human form after millions of years away to take a more active role in events. As Gunn puts it, she's a "Power-That-Was". Such a brilliant subversion and payoff. It's my interpretation that the Powers and the Senior Partners are two sides of the same coin: ancient eldritch entities watching our world from different dimensions and trying to influence things in their own ways. The Powers for Good, the Partners for evil. However, good Jasmine proves that good intentions can have terrible consequences; she genuinely seems to believe what she's saying, which really adds to her depth and value as the ultimate "villain" of the season. I'll save the rest of my thoughts for later :) So excited for you to continue this arc!

SPOILERS FOR CRITICAL ROLE CAMPAIGN 2 POST EPISODE 111! - When they went back to Molly's grave and he wasn't there. I asked the AI what people thought about this (as I didn't like the idea of Molly coming back, though I thought he was awesome, it would undermind the campaign, especially as we don't really get 'dramatic death' moments this campaign), and the AI told me it isn't actually Molly anymore. XD
