The Outsider

"A new friend of Ryan's turns out nasty"
Series 01, Episode 05
Episode Guide - Review - Quotes

Review
Cool episode. I found myself in deep anncipiation as more headway was made between Ryan and Marissa. Although I am worried he is losing his dark moody side especially in the pool scenes. I think that's what makes the series. A echo of the down fall of Angel perhaps.

Still this episode had a great story behind it, one of the best I have seen so far. It had a fair bit of originality and made quite a few changes - it really moved the plot forward with Jimmy without it taking over an episode.

All in all, top marks so far. Solid episode.
