Becoming, Part I

London, 1860. Stock footage of a church cloister. Inside the church, a young woman in period clothing, wearing a veil, approaches the altar and genuflects. Oh, hey, it's pre-vampire Drusilla, and she's much less annoying than vampire Drusilla. Dru enters the confessional and as she says, "Bless me, Father, for I have sinned," we see that Angelus is in the priest's side of the booth and has just killed the priest. As Angel impersonates a priest hearing confession, Dru tells him that she has been "seeing" again. Apparently, she had a vision of a mine cave-in before it occurred. Dru's mother has told her that her precognition is an "affront" to God and she sobs, "I don't want to be an evil thing." Angel replies that she's a "devil child" and the Lord will "smite her down." He tells her to just give in to her evilness, but that suggestion makes Dru panicky so he dismisses her with ten Our Fathers and an Act of Contrition. "God is watching you," he whispers as dramatic music swells. Is God groaning at Juliet Landau's scenery-chewing too?
