Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaJhiera's mission is an allusion to ending Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) because women in some societies undergo the procedure to make them marriageable. Women on and off screen are having the source of sexual arousal removed to 'control' their behavior and ultimately them. When they first meet, Jhiera is skeptical that Angel will understand or even care about her mission because he is a man. The source of his sexual pleasure is not being removed by his culture.
- GoofsAfter finding some locked office building doors, Angel uses grapple guns to reach a small roof to then access a fire escape where he climbs to the main roof and breaks into the building from there. However, while running to the fire escape, he passes and ignores a huge double window that is wide open, seemingly to the floor he wants to reach.
- Crazy creditsInstead of the usual credits, this episode has the footage of Angel and Wes's really bad dance moves from Cordelia's party.

Featured review
All About Bai Ling
Bai Ling was something of a rising star for about a year back in the late 1990s. She was all about intensity and attitude, and that is what she delivers in this episode of "She." She is Jira (Bai Ling), who brings women from an alternate dimension to the U.S.A. so they can live a normal life. The problem is that they are capable of burning men to death if they get too close. That is how Angel got involved.
After reading about a private investigator that was found burned to a crisp, Angel checks and discovers that there have been other similar deaths. Upon investigation, he finds Jira and a group of law enforcement from another dimension who are hunting her and the escaped women. There is a fair amount of action in this episode, but not much common sense. Nobody really explains how they come across dimensions, or what the other world is like. It is just bits and pieces.
Most of the scenes involving Bai Ling are just her being angry and sounding arrogant, and glaring at Angel. When the raised spinal chips on her back light up red, it is because she is sexually aroused, and that happens a lot around Angel. For his part, Angel just looks dumbfounded that he is also turned on. On screen there is zero chemistry or sexual tension between the two actors. Glaring and snarling is supposed to be romance for Bai Ling.
The actual story is really boring. Angel TV series often tried to throw a lot of stuff at you so it seemed like it was engaging. Like Angel mentions Doyle and everyone remembers he died (because Joss Whedon wanted him fired). At least this first season was mostly about action, adventure, and fun.
