I also like the reuse of the breed of demon of Cribb in "The Ring" (1x16). Except this time it's a karaoke singer named "Liz."

I also would like to point out the excellent use of costumes throughout the entire Whedonverse. Here, Lindsey stands out in a sea of black wearing his brown suit. It's still on the dark side of the spectrum - he hasn't strayed too far yet - but it shows that he is vulnerable, somewhat moral at this point, and still making up his mind. In the next episode he is back to his black suit.
Additionally, it was a nice touch to have the blood on his neck/shirt for the remainder of his time in the suit.

@AeC:
Not that you will ever read this, but your question intrigues me. I'm not sure why exactly this is (I've noticed it too), but it's interesting to point out that Angel's birth name was Liam. I'm not sure of his last initial, but this could apply as somewhat stretched foreshadowing.

This episode is just plain awful I can't even fathom how all the talent was sucked out of these usually fantastic filmmakers, but I can't go into it without falling asleep.

I only want to point out that the man who ran the mansion was Sean Gunn who also played Lucas in "Hero." Perhaps they thought we wouldn't recognize him without Brachen makeup despite the bone structure, build, and exceedingly trademark voice? Anyway, I could never take him seriously in any role after seeing him as Kirk in "Gilmore Girls" (which - I know - came mostly after, but still).

Personally, I love the last 6 minutes of this episode - along with the good Doyle/Cordelia bits, but most of the rest was pretty shaky. I'm not sure I could even call this a "thinly veiled metaphor" (as I thought of the Scrouge when I first saw them) because, well, it's barely a metaphor by the end. Whatever it was it was beating me over the head with it and significantly detracted from the beautiful Joss-y pain of having my heart ripped out. To this day I miss Doyle, he was such a great character. I was also somewhat annoyed at the poor consistency - it's I quality I usually praise Joss Whedon & co. on.
