So, I guess we all know how to write "John G. raped and killed my wife" backwards in Chinese now, don't we?

Anyway, it was a fun episode. Frankly, the payoff was better than the delivery, but it was still enjoyable.

But, now that we've had a good, solid fight to defeat the Big Bad (possibly the Little Bad, depending on what happens in Feb), what'll happen when it's time to really beat him? It's pretty much assured that there won't be an Angel/Conner fight with him and a sword. So looks like it's got to be up to the mystic crew to save him, or possibly some act of sacrifice (which would fit).

Otherwise, not a lot of plot development (I mean, when over half the show doesn't really happen, it's hard to worry about plot holes there). Gunn is still acting like a moron about Wesley. Fred is still occasionally baiting him into doing so. Wesley has, in the last year, apparently downloaded a kung-fu program into his wetware (and also shaken off any lingering pains from being shot). Conner is still a whiny bitch (like father, like son). Cordy has shown more sense in the last two weeks than she did in the previous seven years. And the Host just sits around and cracks wise.

And they built a cage with nice big gaps in it, so it's real easy for Angelus to reach through and grab someone if he breaks his bonds. That's real fucking smart.

They so need an underwear gnome on this show.
