Review: Oh Angela, how I hoped you would’ve played a bigger role in this show! Sadly, we only see her for this episode and her role is filled by Jade later on down the line on season three. But, I do thank the team behind the show for throwing her in at least once, complete with Spawn earrings and flashback shots of her in full Angel hunting garb.

This episode further moves along the Wynn/Chapel plot, establishes Sam and Twitch more and Wanda is given a few extra leads that pay off in the end of the season. While it may not look like much in retrospect, this episode is just as important as the rest and the title accurately represents the effect it has on the rest of the season.

Having said that, I really don’t have a whole lot to say on this one; the animation was strong, especially in the beginning with the neat trick with Angela in shadow. Her shadowing giving the allusion that we’d see her in her hunter outfit but instead are given a street Angela who later kicks a few horny guys butts in an alley. Good times.

The ending of the episode gave us our first and only shot of Malebolgia, looking a lot like his comic-book counterpart, even in shadowed form. I’m glad we saw him at least once and hopefully we’ll see more of him in the new Spawn animation in the works.
