There's No Place Like Plrtz Glrb

Enik hurries down a hallway as another Trombli announces that rebels have entered the castle. Around the corner, Wesley, Gunn, and Scarlet race up. Wesley recognizes Enik despite the fact that he can't see Enik, and Enik hasn't said a word. Wesley has superpowers, y'all. They round the corner and run into some guards. Sword-fu. The shots last about a second each, so while there may be some decent fencing going on, it's impossible to tell. Which makes me suspect that the action scene would suck if we could see it. Wouldn't it be easier just to hide the action completely by filling the screen with a message that says: "We didn't have the time or money for an effectively choreographed battle scene, but we heartily recommend watching the climactic fight between Errol Flynn and Basil Rathbone in The Adventures of Robin Hood. Or Captain Blood, which also has pirates." The guards are vanquished, incidentally.

In the Tromblibrary, Cordelia has put on a red cloak and is pacing nervously. Enik and another Trombli enter, and Cordy rushes up to beg them to stop Groosy from fighting. Enik hauls off and smacks her in the face. Hey! Do that to Wesley, not Cordy! Enik grabs Cordy by her throat while bitching that she's destroying their way of life. He says he'll kill all the slaves, and reveals the boom box before shoving Cordy across the room.

Meanwhile, Groosy and Angel fight. Groosy keeps pulling out more weapons faster than Angel can take them away, and finally tosses some kind of whippy thing that lashes Angel's wrist to a building's frame. Groosy yells, "You would defile her! You animal!" and clubs Angel for a while. Angel finally gives up and Hulks...er, "vamps" out. Groosy goes to swat him again, but Angel shoves him across the square. He rips free of the building and launches himself at Groosy.

Cordy huddles in a corner as Enik puts his hand over the boom box controls. Wesley, Scarlet, and Gunn hurry into the Tromblibrary. Wesley tells Enik, "You don't have to do this." Enik disagrees, but makes the same mistake all evil overlords make: he decides that now is the time to make his triumphant speech about how all their base are belong to him. So he gets as far as saying, "You and your filthy cow princess can go to --" before Cordelia lops his head off with a sword, crying, "Avaunt, Mordred!" Okay, actually she just says something dumb, so I'm skipping it. Cordy asks if the Trombli stay dead when they lose their heads, and Scarlet says that they do. Cordy puts the sword down and says that they have to rescue Groosy from a terrible beast. And she won't want a weapon for that. Wesley tells her that Groosy is actually fighting Angel.
