Here is the promo breakdown of next week's Angel episode, "Spin The Bottle":

Narrator: A trippy spell bends their minds.

We open up on a shot of Angel, standing in the middle of the Hyperion lobby. He truns his head right, towards the camera. The motion of his head turning is blurred.

Cut to a shot of the group (including Wesley!) sitting on the Hyperion floor. They are seated in a circle around a mess of candles in the center, and they are linking hands together with each other. In this shot, we see Wesely, then Cordelia, then Gunn. As the camera pulls in on them, they pull there hands away from each other, reacting to some force.

Cut to a shot of Fred sitting in a corner and caressing a fern. The motion blurs to get that "trippy" effect.

Wesley (mostly in VO over the shots): "We'll just wait to see if there are any side effects."

We cut to a shot of Cordy, sitting by the stairs, as she holds her head in reaction. The camera blurs on this shot, too.

Blur in on Weseley, expositing the above line as he's seated on the red couch thing.

Cut to a shot of Cordy, as she looks down at her chests and holds her breasts, as though weighing them.

Quick cut to a shot of Angel, standing alone by a wall with a worried look on his face.

Cut to a shot of Fred, grinning and laughing. We can see Cordelia standing behind her, holding her hands up to her ears and not paying attention to anything else.

Narrator: Five friends become strangers.

Cut to a shot at the entire gang standing in the lobby, as they turn and look at the camera. Wesley is furthest to the left. Angel is next to him, but further back. Fred is standing to the left of Angel. Further left, but closest to the camera, is Cordelia. All the way to the right is Gunn, who stands right next to Cordy. [Transcriber's note - this shot is a little too close to the "Tabula Rasa" shot from Buffy for my taste.]

Cut to a solo shot of Cordelia as she walks forward in the lobby.

Cordelia (seductively): "What's your story?"

Cut to a shot of Angle, now standing in front of the door of the hotel.

Cut to a shot from the weapons cabinet, as we see Angel and Fred open the cabinet up and stare at them.

We see a solo shot of Cordelia as she spins towards the camera.

Wesley (VO, mostly): "We're locked in a house with a deadly vampire, and you have to kill him before he kills you."

Cut to a shot of Gunn, Fred, and Wesley walking through a darkened hallway. Each of them is carrying a weapon, Fred with a baseball bat-sized stake.

Cut to the shot of Wesley expositing this scenario.

Cut to a shot of Angel standing in front of the door outside, as he looks around himself. He has a very confused look on his face.

Narrator: It's a twisted game...

We see a shot of Wesley standing in front of Gunn, as Wesley brings a serious-looking knife blad up to Gunn's chin. [Transcriber's note - imagined dialogue -"You're going to lose that goatee even if I have to cut it off myself."]

Cut to a shot of the top of Cordelia's face, as she is hiding behind the big grey froofy thing in the lobby.

We see Fred peering out around a corner.

We see Angel, standing in front of a bathroom mirror, waving his hands as he realizes he has no reflection.

Angel (worried): "I'm a vampire. They're going to kill me."

Cut to a shot of Angel going into vamp-face.

Cut back to Angel in the bathroom.

We see a shot of Gunn swinging his special axe at something in the lobby.

Narrator: ...of life or death.

We see Angel throw a right cross at somebody. I'm thinking it is Connor.

Cut to a shot of Angel standing in the lobby as Gunn is leaning on the front desk rail. Gunn is holding his axe in his hands.

Angel: "I guess I'm going to start feeding on your corpses."

Cut to another side of the lobby, as Wesley holds his arm up as though to shield Fred.

Focus in on Gunn as he reacts to what Angel is saying and he pulls his axe into a ready position.

Back to Wesely and Fred, as Fred turns to Wesley with a look of horror on her face.

Cut to a solo shot of Angel standing in the middle of the lobby.

Cut over to Cordelia, standing by the weapons cabinet. She has her arm out and is pointing towards Fred. NOTE: Lorne is barely visible in this shot, sitting on the grey circular couch thing.

Cordelia: "She's the tasty one. Half of her is neck."

Cut back to Wesley and Fred. Fred visibly gulps.

Cue the Angel logo.

An all-new Angel, next week on the WB's Big Sunday.

Lilah: "Free will. Look it up."

Reverse the shot from behind Lilah, focusing on Wesley.

Wesley: "Lilah...."

Reverse back to focus in on Lilah.

Lilah: "You're the one who decided to take what you overheard and give it to the Good 'n Plenties."

Narrator: For years, she was subjected to inhuman experiments.

We open up with a shot of River laying on a bed in the medical ward, sleeping.

Fade to black, then fade in on visions she is having of the experiments.

Flash cut to another shot of the electrode hooked up to her eye.

Flash cut again, until we pull out and reveal River seated in a mutand dentist chair. River is in a white hospital gown. The chair with its attached apparatus is in the middle of a very dark space as light shines down on River.

We cut to another shot of the electrodes. This time, we see that the electrodes are not attached to the eyelids, but seem to dig into the skin surrounding the eye, out around the orbital ridge. A bright light flashes into River's face as her eye moves around.

We cut to River waking up and screaming from the medical ward bed.

River: :"Ahh!"

Narrator: Now, to save his sister....

We see a shot of Serenity in space as the Firefly engine kicks in.

Cut to a shot of Wash, in Hawaiian (sp) shirt, spelling things out for Simon.

Here is the promo breakdown for next week's Angel episode, "Apocalypse Nowish" :

We open directly on a shot of Gunn and Lorne talking in the Hyperion lobby. A splat noise is heard and Gunn turns his head towards the door.

We then see Gunn coming up to the glass door as something SPLATS! against it, leaving a splotch of blood on the window.

Fade to black, then the graphic "IT IS THE BEGINNING...." splashes across the screen in fiery type.

We start to heard Cordy's voice over the graphic.

Another fiery graphic appears on the screen - "OF THE END."

Cut back to seeing Gunn and Lorne through the glass doors of the hotel from the outside as they react to multiple objects splatting against the hotel.

Reverse the shot from behind the guys as they look out through the door. My guess is that a rain of toads is hitting the hotel.

Cut to a shot of a naked leg peeping out from under some sheets as the camera pans up to the head of the bed.

Jump cut to the top of the bed, where we see two people locked in an embrace. Can't identify either of the partners, but I'm guessing that is Connor on the bottom of the clinch.

Someone screaming can be heard in the background.

Flash cut to a different scene, where we see Wesley (on the bottom) ripping open the shirt of what I'm taking as Lilah made up to look like Fred. My guess is based on the amount of cleavage seen in the shot.

We then see a shot of Cordelia rising out of a prone postion, as if she is waking from a dream. Cordelia draws in her breath in shock.

Cut to a shot of Angel in the lobby (sans black leather coat seen in all the previousl shots).

Here are the lyrics (as well as I can make them out, please post suggested corrections in the Buffy thread) of the song at the beginning and end of last night's Buffy episode.

[Edit - After some searching, I have discovered that the title of the song is "Blue"]

At the start of "Conversations With Dead People"

Night falls
I fall
And where were you?
And where were you?
Warm skin
Wolf grin
And where were you?

I fell into the moon
And it covered you in blue
I fell into the moon
Can I make it right?
Can I spend the night?

High tide
Inside
The air is dew
And where were you?
Wild-eyed
I died
And where were you?

I crawled out of the world
And you said I shouldn't start
I crawled out of the world
Can I make it right?
Can I spend the night
Alone?

At the end of the episode

I fell into the moon
And it covered you in blue
I fell into the moon
Can I make it right?
Can I spend the night
Alone?
