We meet Cordelia at an L.A. party for wanna-be actors showing that she's the same old Cordy be it down and out for now...After Angel saves her life from the baddie of the ep, a vampire called Russell Winters who is protected from prosecution by a law firm called Wolfram Hart(I'd say very 90's but it's the 2000's) she 'reciprocates' as only she can by offering her investigative services for a fee of course.
Loved the dark imagery, original cinematography and dark humour present throughout the story. What I loved most about this episode is that we see a lot more of Angel doing vampire type things like leaping off a balcony with Cordy to save her.
Looking forward to more....
Regular characters: Cordelia, Angel, Doyle
Villain: Russell Winters (vampire)
