Hell. No, really. We're down in Hell for the first time this season, and color me surprised: The demonic healer last seen tending to Melinda Clarke's rather brutal shishkebabbing a whole two years ago is back to cauterize the gash in Barbas's shoulder with a red-hot andiron. We still don't get an explanation of how the Dolt could have inflicted that wound simply by passing through Barbas's spectral form, but that's not important, I suppose. What is important is that the Head chooses this moment to reappear, whistling past Barbas while muttering something of dark import. Specifically, "Go after the bayyyy-beeeeee." Naturally, the demonic doc can't see the Head and snorts something snide about Barbas's apparent hallucinations, so Barbas smites him with a Flaming Ball Of Death. The good news? We won't be waiting around wondering if that guy's gonna pop up again in Season Nine. The bad news? I have a sickening feeling there's actually going to be a Season Nine. That is, if Alyssa Milano doesn't totally pull a Karen Carpenter before then, of course. Sigh. This is the show that never ends -- it just goes on and on, my friend -- some people started airing it not knowing what it was, and they'll continue airing it forever, just because this is the show that never ends -- it just goes on and on, my friend -- some people started airing it not knowing what it was, and they'll continue airing it forever, just because this is the show that never ends -- it just goes on and on, my friend -- some people started airing it not knowing what it was, and they'll continue airing it forever just because this is the shokldnvlkoeriugdldcnladknckl....
