Angel's 50th Episode Still Holds Up — S03E06 "Billy" | Buffyverse Rewatch

"Billy" — Angel Season 3, Episode 6 — is the episode fans still argue about, and for good reason. When Wolfram & Hart's Billy Blim discovers he can "infect" men with his own violent hatred of women through a single touch, the show turns its own beloved team into a threat — and Alexis Denisof's Wesley curdles from bookish and loyal into something genuinely frightening as he corners Fred in one of the most stomach-churning scenes the Buffyverse ever aired. It's not a monster-of-the-week story so much as a dare: how far will Angel go to show "good men" turning violent, and does the show earn that darkness or just wallow in it? Also happens to be the show's 50th episode.
