Added detail to episode summary.


The ballet continues onstage as the gang gathers backstage. Wesley explains that the Count was a wizard who discovered the prima ballerina whom he adored had a lover. To repay her for her "betrayal", the count forced her into a temporal shift where she would dance for him forever. As Angel searches for the Count's power center, he finds the prima ballerina waiting in the wings, resigned to perform the same dance for the rest of eternity regretting she didn't leave when Stefan urged her to. Meanwhile, the rest of the gang weaken the Count's magic by fighting off the Count's demons, who multiply whenever they're killed.

The ballet continues onstage as the gang gathers backstage. Wesley tells them that he hit a "hot spot" similar to the one Angel and Cordy encountered in the dressing room, and felt great jealousy from the Count. He explains that the Count was a wizard who discovered the prima ballerina whom he adored had a lover. To repay her for her "betrayal", the count forced her into a temporal shift where she would dance for him forever. As Angel searches for the Count's power center, he finds the prima ballerina waiting in the wings, resigned to perform the same dance for the rest of eternity regretting she didn't leave when Stefan urged her to. Meanwhile, the rest of the gang weaken the Count's magic by fighting off the Count's demons, who multiply whenever they're killed.

Added DiffLines:

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Downplayed, but Angel mentions that he was introduced to the Blinnikov World Ballet Corps in 1890 (which was 8 years before the fateful run-in with the Kalderash people). So while Angelus was still in the driver's seat at that point, even the soulless Vampire was ultimately moved to tears by the ballet performance.
