15 Best Angel Episodes

"It's about the mission, bro. He's got it. You don't."

There are times throughout the show's run where Charles Gunn would feel out of the loop. He was always labelled as the "muscle" of the gang, but next to Angel and eventually Wesley this was never enough to make him a believable member of the group. With That Old Gang of Mine, though, it becomes clear why he sticks around as long as he does.

Confronted by his old gang, now under new, radical and violent leadership, Gunn is forced to choose between his old life and the life he has with Angel Investigations. The episode is framed as a hostage situation, where Lorne's club is vandalised and the core gang are held at gunpoint in hopes of forcing Gunn to cave and kill Angel.

This set-up makes the whole story a tense showdown, and features the great moment in which Gunn chooses his new life over his old allies, and Fred (still adjusting to life back in the real world) shows off just how badass she can be.
