Cordelia (Charisma Carpenter) experiences yet another vision, this one involving danger to a young family. Angel (David Boreanaz) rushes to the scene and barely saves a sleepwalking boy named Ryan (Jesse James) from getting run over. Wesley (Alexis Denisof) realizes that an Ethros demon (Anthony Cistaro) has possessed a member of the boy's family -- mother Paige (Katy Boyer), father Seth (Will Kempe), or daughter Stephanie (Ashley Edner). With the help of some magic brownies, the team roots out the demon, who is hiding inside little Ryan himself. With no priest available, Angel himself must undertake the exorcism. But when the magic box procured by Cordelia to contain the expelled demon proves insufficient, Wes and Angel must hunt the thing down and kill it. Its dying pronouncement is that it had been trying to escape Ryan's body all along -- because the boy himself was pure evil, more monstrous than any demon. Angel and Wes rush back to the family's home just in time to save little Stephanie from Ryan's pyromania. Originally broadcast February 15, 2000, on the WB network, "I've Got You Under My Skin" marked season one, episode 14 of the supernatural comedy drama. ~ Brian J. Dillard, All Movie Guide

The sheriff's challenger is desperate to win and so engineers the release of a dangerous convicted killer, whose actions he plans to blame upon the sheriff by making it look as if the incumbent accepted a bribe for the crook's early release. No one comes out clean in the end as the crook begins a vengeful killing spree and the corruption of both the judge and the sheriff are exposed. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

Away in New York on legal business for his old law firm, Oliver (Eddie Albert) receives a startling phone call from wife Lisa (Eva Gabor) back in Hooterville. It seems that, during Oliver's absence, someone has left a baby on the Douglases' doorstep. The situation rapidly becomes complicated and hopelessly convoluted, all because the flustered Lisa has omitted one vital detail: the "little visitor" is actually a baby dog! ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Prevailing upon her movie-producer friend, Lisa manages to land a Hollywood role for Hooterville's favorite pig Arnold. A natural-born ham (ouch!), Arnold proves to be a natural before the cameras. This is no surprise to Lisa, who had faith in Arnold's talents all along. As for Lisa's husband Oliver, he can only observe the situation with a mounting sense of horror: will he be forced to give up the life of a gentleman farmer to be Arnold's permanent "handler"? This concluding episode of a two-part story marks the finale of Green Acres' third season. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

When an aging philanthropist falls on hard times, her butler starts to rob the rich so that she can keep on giving to the poor in this comedy. Claude Fitzwilliam (Dick Van Dyke), known to his friends as "Fitzwilly," works as a butler for Victoria Woodworth (Edith Evans), who -- ever since the death of her husband -- has been using her inheritance to benefit her favorite charitable causes. However, no one has the heart to tell Mrs. Woodworth that she doesn't have much money left, and to compensate for the shortfall brought on by her philanthropy, Fitzwilly and his fellow domestics have been pulling a series of robberies at department stores. When Mrs. Woodworth gets the idea of compiling "A Dictionary for Dopes," which indexes phonetic spellings of commonly misspelled words, she hires Juliet Nowell (Barbara Feldon) to help on the project as a secretary. Juliet senses that there's something fishy about Fitzwilly, especially when she finds out that he has a college education but earns a meager salary as a butler, and she imagines the worst when she finds out about his criminal activities. Watch for Sam Waterston in a small role; this was his first film. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
