First, the slayer arrives in the City of Angel, but it’s not the one you’re thinking of. Wolfram & Hart hire her to kill Angel, a task Faith sets to with gusto. When she threatens to take Wesley off the board, Angel has no choice but to take her out.   Then, the two-parter concludes with the other slayer—yeah, that one—showing up just in time to see Angel comfort his mortal enemy. Must be Tuesday. Aghast he would try to redeem Faith after what she did in Sunnydale, Buffy picks a fight. Meanwhile, Wesley betrays old colleagues because Angel offers better dental.   “Sanctuary” coverage starts at 53:30.   Hear us discuss… * We agree with our past selves, naturally * The CW lawyers are great villains * The best way to torture Wesley * Dr. Folger is NOT HAPPY about that skylight * Seriously though, what does Angel have against doors and windows?   Trigger warnings Kidnapping, torture   💬 SOCIAL MEDIA: * @prophecygirlspodcast on Instagram [https://instagram.com/prophecygirlspodcast], Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/prophecygirlspodcast], and TikTok [https://www.tiktok.com/@prophecygirlspodcast/] * @prophecygirls.ca on Bluesky [https://bsky.app/profile/prophecygirls.ca] * prophecygirls.ca [https://prophecygirls.ca/] ✉ Email us at prophecygirlspodcast@gmail.com [prophecygirlspodcast@gmail.com] Join us on Discord: https://prophecygirls.ca/discord [https://prophecygirls.ca/discord]   We love hearing from our listeners!   Support Prophecy Girls on Buy Me a Coffee [https://www.buymeacoffee.com/prophecygirls]!  Find Prophecy Girls merch at https://prophecygirls.ca/store [https://prophecygirls.ca/store]   🎬 PRODUCERS: Kyle [https://anchor.fm/buffygays/] Kala [https://www.instagram.com/leftofskeptic/] Erika [http://www.lalunevie.com/] Allison Nicola [http://buffyfest.blogspot.com/2009/04/buffyangel-episode-watching-guide.html] Tasha [https://www.tiktok.com/@appleseedus] Joshua [https://abundanthousingla.org/policyagenda/] Rickey [https://linktr.ee/rickeyz] Suzannah [https://www.alzheimers.org.uk/] Amie Kristi Kimmie Laura Bahia Brandon The Second James [https://www.instagram.com/the_second_james] Katie Clea Julian

But how to convince a vampire with a soul to sire you?   Hear us discuss… * Cordelia is a brilliant actor as long as her life is in danger * Oliver, we expected better from you! * Dr. Folger is NOT HAPPY about that power cut * Toth (and maybe Joyce?) strikes again! * You can just say you don’t like women, Joss.
