Heh. Shoulda heard me squee over the opening titles when it said who'd be guesting - Stephanie Romanov and Robia LaMorte. Mob ep, Robia playing the daughter not allowed to take over the business, Stephanie as the wife of the (supposedly) dead son, mother of the old man's grandson. Robia playing cool and ruthless in pinstriped suits, Stephanie as put-upon and increasingly frantic mum. Great performances by both, especially Robia, but Stephanie admittedly shines best when she's playing queen bitch so she didn't get to play. Looking very nice, but I'm convinced the director or director of photography was blind. All shots above her waist. Not *one* shot of her legs. Come to the dark side of Angel, my children, where they understand the power of Stephanie's legs....

Jim had chemistry! With a female character! From about two seconds in, including sleeping with her! Excuse me, I feel the need to faint. Pass me the brown paper bag, I'm going to hyperventilate in the corner here. Admittedly, it was with Stephanie's character (he got a job as her son's bodyguard after saving his life) so he didn't really have a choice. :g: Stephanie, Alexis and Michael Rosenbaum : can and will have chemistry with a rock. But still, fun even though they did feel the need to loudly pipe cheesy music in the slightly more intimate scene. And not even a leg shot then. Oy vey.

Blair all possessive over Jim! Insists on going with him! And then getting all concerned and frantic when Jim tells him about the dizzy spells! Touching! The head of security's 'oh, you two are so boyfriends' look!
