15 Best Angel Episodes

11. The Girl In Question (Season 5, Episode 20)

Angel Tv

"She killed you. I helped her - that one counts as mine."

If Destiny shows Angel and Spike's relationship at its most volatile, then The Girl in Question shows just how well the pair work together. The episode is essentially a buddy-comedy, in which the ensouled vampires venture to Rome for an important mission...and to meet up with Buffy, who's said to be stationed there.

The entire episode takes a backseat on the drama that had characterised the show for the last two seasons, creating a devilishly funny adventure in which Angel and Spike not only make a pretty good team, but constantly try to one-up one another and prove their respective love for Buffy.

All of this is boosted by a series of flashbacks which show the pair trying to get revenge on The Immortal, an unseen being who the unlikely duo believe to be their "arch-nemesis." This is the only episode to show pre-soul Angel as anything but a psychopathic killer, making him the butt of many jokes alongside his long-time partner-in-crime.

It's a funny and refreshing addition to the season, and creates a nice buffer episode before the drama of the show's finale.
