In Angel season 3 episode 6, titled Billy, we see the crew at Angel investigations take on a particularly problematic case involving a young man named Billy. Billy is a former high school bully who has recently been released from a juvenile detention center. However, instead of feeling remorseful for his past behavior, he has come out with a newfound power to instill fear in others.
The episode begins with Angel, Wesley, and Gunn discussing a case in their office when they hear a commotion near their building. They step outside to find Billy causing a commotion on the street, scaring civilians with his newfound power. Angel quickly realizes that he is the one responsible for Billy's abilities, an act of vengeance from a group of young women who were once bullied by him.
As the team investigates Billy's past, they learn about his history of violent behavior. They also learn that one of his victims, a young woman named Laurie, has recently committed suicide due to her trauma from Billy's bullying. Billy also targets Cordelia, claiming that she had a crush on him in high school, which leads to a few uncomfortable confrontations between the two.
As the team begins to put all the pieces together, they realize that Billy's powers are not only fueled by his own anger, but also by those around him. This leads to a harrowing climax with Angel and the team facing off against Billy and a group of his former victims in a showdown that will push everyone's limits, physically and emotionally.
The episode does an excellent job of exploring themes of bullying, trauma, and how power can corrupt those who wield it. There are moments of intense action and suspense as well as moments of deep reflection and character growth. The performances are top-notch, with actors David Boreanaz, Alexis Denisof, and J. August Richards shining in their respective roles.
Overall, Angel season 3 episode 6, Billy, is a gripping and thought-provoking episode that delves into the complex issues of power dynamics and their effects on individuals and society.
