History Recap / AngelS01E14IveGotYouUnderMySkin

* ActuallyPrettyFunny: When Angel is adamant that Wesley cannot do the ritual he is tossed a stake so he can do it. Despite [[{{Pun}} burning]] him Angel's reaction is along the lines of, "Yeah, that was cool enough for me to think of."

* BadassBoast / YouHaveNoIdeaWhoYoureDealingWith
-->“You are a fool. You think to destroy me? You’re dealing with forces beyond your comprehension. [snip] I am Ethros. I corrupted the spirits of men before they had speech to name me. The child was but the last among tens of thousands, one more pure heart to corrupt, one more soul to suck dry.”
* BuffySpeak: When Seth says the roast was a little dry, Angel assures him it was full of "roasty goodness".

* DeathSeeker / AndIMustScream: [[spoiler:The Ethros demon after being trapped in Ryan's body for so long, unable to control it.]]
* DescriptionCut: Wesley says that if a possessed person eats eucalipsis powder, the demon within is forced to reveal himself. Angel asks how he'll get to Anderson family to eat the powder. Cut to him knocking on the Anderson's door with a plate of brownies.
* DemonicPossession: [[spoiler: Ryan.]]

-->'''Nun:''' How can I...''*sees Angel*''...You would come into a place of worship?

-->'''Nun:''' No? ''*tries to touch Angel's hand with her rosary, he pulls away*''

* EvenEvilHasStandards: [[spoiler: The Ethros demon was terrified at Ryan, so much that he was willing to kill himself just to escape from him.]]
* EvilAllAlong: [[spoiler:Ryan]]

* GhostButler: The demon slams the door on Cordy and Seth so it can strangle Paige.

-->“All those hours [[AbusiveParents locked up under the stairs]] and you still weren’t good enough. Not good enough for Daddy, not good enough for the Council.”

* HolyBurnsEvil: Angel can't carry out the exorcism as he can't hold holy objects, but when Wes is unable to do so he grabs the required items and [[TheDeterminator completes the ritual despite the pain]].

* HyperAwareness: The nun is somehow able to sense Angel isn't human.
* LaymansTerms
-->'''Angel:''' “He’ll be looking for a hostile environment –- somewhere damp. Probably returning to primordial volcanic basalt for his regeneration.”\\
'''Cordy:''' “Huh?”\\
'''Wesley:''' “Sea caves.”\\
'''Cordy:''' “Why didn’t he just say that?”
* LethalChef: Cordy's brownies.

* NowYouTellMe
-->'''Cordy:''' (picks up the vial) “What is this stuff anyway? [[SicklyGreenGlow Kind of pretty!]]”\\
'''Wesley:''' “Uh, it’s the bodily excretion of an Ethros demon.”\\
'''Cordy:''' (puts the vial down and folds her hands) “No one could have said "demon poo" ''before'' I touched it?”
* OhCrap: When Angel and Wes find that the only priest qualified to do the exorcism has been killed performing that exact ritual. When the Ethros destroys the box meant to hold him when exorcised. When Angel and Wes realise [[spoiler: Ryan is the evil one, and alone with his family.]]
* OnlyOneName / MrSmith: Angel says his name is "Angel Jones".
* PsychicAssistedSuicide: The demon-possessed Ryan 'sleepwalks' into the middle of traffic, almost getting killed before Angel tackles him out of a car's path. [[spoiler:The demon later confesses that he would have also died had the car struck. By leaping into a body of a remorseless child, the Ethros had unwittingly trapped itself forever, with death as the only escape.]]

* SoMuchForStealth: Wesley accidentally pokes a talking doll while looking through the Anderson's garbage bin.

* TheSociopath: [[spoiler: Ryan, due to the fact that he is TheSouless.]]

* TooSpicyForYogSothoth: [[spoiler: Only after taking possession of Ryan does the Ethros demon realize the child "has no soul". The demon is trapped inside Ryan and despairs at the feeling of "nothing" in the boy.]]

-->'''Nun:''' No? ''*tries to touch Angel's hand with her rosary*''

'''Nun:''' How can I...''*sees Angel*''...You would come into a place of worship?
'''Angel:''' ...I'm not what you think.
'''Nun:''' No? ''*tries to touch Angel's hand with her rosary*''
'''Angel:''' Okay, yeah, I am.

* HonestJohnsDealership: The only way to contain an Ethros demon is to trap it in a rare [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Ethros Box]]. Angel gives Cordelia the address of a shop he knows downtown, Rick's Magick & Stuff; Rick, however, does not have a box carved by "blind Tibetan monks," so Cordy instead buys a discounted one made by "mute Chinese nuns." Rick warns her it might be a little "tight across the shoulders" for the Ethros ([[ThisIsGonnaSuck oh boy, this'll be fun]]). Predictably, the box is reduced to splinters when Angel and Wesley exorcise the demon into it.

* OhCrap: Angel and Wes find that the only priest qualified to do the exorcism has been killed performing that exact ritual. Ethros destroys the box meant to hold him when exorcised. Angel and Wes realise [[spoiler: Ryan is the evil one, and alone with his family.]]

* {{Beethoven was an Alien Spy}}: Wesley mentions Lizzie Borden, the famous Massachusetts woman accused of butchering her parents with an axe. She, too, was possessed by an Ethros demon. Angel notes ominously that the demon possessing Borden [[ThisIsGonnaSuck was only an adolescent]].

* VoiceChangeling: The Ethros demon possessing Ryan displays this ability. It taunts Wesley in a voice identical to his own, reminding him of his unceremonious sacking from the Watcher's Council; then it strikes out at Angel by channeling Doyle's voice, playing on Angel's guilt. And also [[UnstoppableRage makes him angry]].
