Ep 5. Episode 5

Angel season 1 episode 5, titled "Sense and Sensitivity," follows our vampire-with-a-soul protagonist as he tries to solve a string of murders that seem to be committed by a demon. However, his investigation is constantly interrupted by a group of hyper-sensitive police officers who have been tasked with investigating a separate case involving a group of lawyers who have been poisoned.

The hyper-sensitive cops are the result of a potion that was originally designed to make people more empathetic, but ended up amplifying their emotions to unbearable levels. This opens up an interesting plotline about the consequences of tampering with magical forces and the importance of being responsible with power.

The episode also features some interesting character development for our main players. Angel struggles with his past deeds as a vampire and tries to make amends by helping the victims of the demon-related murders. Meanwhile, Cordelia, one of Angel's sidekicks, struggles with being broke and has to resort to accepting demeaning work in order to make ends meet.

"Sense and Sensitivity" also features some interesting ethical dilemmas. Do the ends justify the means? Should we use magic to force people to be more empathetic? What are the consequences of tampering with things we don't fully understand? These questions are all explored throughout the episode and give it a deeper meaning beyond the surface level demon-slaying action.

Overall, "Sense and Sensitivity" is a solid episode of Angel that has a good mix of character development, action, and thought-provoking ethical dilemmas. It's definitely worth a watch for fans of the show who are looking for an entertaining and engaging episode.
