Immediately after the events of "Belonging," Cordelia (Charisma Carpenter) makes her way through the Host's home dimension, Pylea, a multiracial, medieval society where human "cows" are enslaved and forced to perform menial labor until they die. Abducted and sold to a miserly wench, she communicates illegally with an escaped "cow" who turns out to be Fred (Amy Acker), the student physicist who disappeared five years ago from Los Angeles. Back on earth, Angel (David Boreanaz) and the Host (Andy Hallett) search for ways to save Cordelia. Although Loren is loathe to return to his home world, a psychic friend (Persia White) convinces him it's his destiny. Gunn (J. August Richards), too, has issues about heading to another world from which he may never return. His neglect of his old street crew has left him guilt-wracked, especially after one of them died. In the end, he and the Host both pitch in with Angel and Wesley (Alexis Denisof) as they hop in Angel's car and open another portal. When they get to the other side, Angel is delighted to discover that on this world of two suns, neither one burns him. Unfortunately, the realization that the group's magic-tome ticket back to earth didn't make the journey with them puts a damper on any celebration. Captured by demons, the visitors are brought before the queen of this realm, Cordy, whose visions have convinced the populace that she is the messiah for which they've been waiting for generations. Originally broadcast May 8, 2001, on the WB network, "Over the Rainbow" marked season two, episode 20 of the supernatural comedy drama. This four-part saga continues in "Through the Looking Glass." In a brief subplot, two new Wolfram & Hart lawyers, including uber-bureaucrat Gavin Park (Daniel Daye Kim), are introduced. ~ Brian J. Dillard, All Movie Guide

At a secret military base in the American desert, Dr. Harlan Jessup (Ron Perlman) is charge of the experimental "Operation Sandman", in which volunteer soldiers are injected with a new serum that will allow them to operate without sleep for days at a time. Led by senior NCO "Gunny" Riggins (Richard Tyson), the volunteers are trained in Virtual Reality scenarios pitting them against computer-generated terrorist. Midway through the three-week experiment, Captain Jean Farrell (Mary B. Ward) of Psy-Ops arrives to check out the volunteers and, hopefully, give them a clean bill of health so that funding for Operation Sandman will continue. Unfortunately, a few of the volunteers have been experiencing bizarre and terrifying side effects, which Jessup tries to sweep under the rug. But Jean cannot ignore the fact that on at least one occasion, a soldier has been killed by a weapon which doesn't exist! (Virtual Reality. Remember That. Virtual Reality. Real Important. Virtual Reality. Vital to the Plot. Virtual Reality.) When the made-for-TV Operation Sandman premiered on February 11, 2000, the UPN network heavily promoted the appearance of pro wrestler Hardcore Holly--who is bumped off in the first reel! ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Ostensibly picking up where the movie Buffy the Vampire Slayer left off, episode one finds the vampire-stiffing Buffy Summers (Sarah Michelle Gellar) and her mother, Joyce (Kristine Sutherland), recently moved from Los Angeles to the ironically named suburb of Sunnydale, CA. During her first day at Sunnydale High School, Buffy meets a group of people who will define the course of her new life. Cordelia Chase (Charisma Carpenter), a popular girl at school, proffers her friendship by testing Buffy's "coolness factor." "James Spader?" Cordelia inquires. "He needs to call me," replies Buffy, without missing a beat. But Cordelia is soon dismayed when Buffy begins hanging out with the shy computer nerd Willow Rosenberg (Alyson Hannigan), her friend Xander Harris ( Nicholas Brendon), and his buddy Jesse (Eric Balfour). Also among her new acquaintances is the school librarian, the very British Rupert Giles (Anthony Stewart Head), who just happens to be Buffy's Watcher, a sort of guidance counselor for vampire slayers. Giles informs Buffy that the earth is much older than commonly accepted and was once populated by demons and vampires; only vestiges of the great evil still exist. Through Giles, we also learn that after every slayer dies, another is born to take her place, and 17-year-old Buffy is the Chosen One. That night, Buffy meets the enigmatic and mysterious Angel (David Boreanaz), who warns her that Sunnydale is located on the Hellmouth -- a kind of mecca for demons and vampires of all sorts -- and the accompanying "Harvest," when vampires will attempt to take over the earth, is soon approaching. Buffy is resistant to donning her mantle as the Slayer, unaware that in catacombs beneath Sunnydale, the Master (Mark Metcalf) -- a very old and powerful vampire, trapped for 60 years underground -- is now being awakened by his minion Luke (Brian Thompson) to be set free by the Harvest. Originally aired on March 10, 1996, "Welcome to the Hellmouth" is part one of the show's two-part pilot episode. ~ All Movie Guide

Andy Sipowicz (Dennis Franz) is receptive when a woman provides new information on a gruesome eight-year-old murder. As Sipowicz and Bobby Simone (Jimmy Smits) prepare to exhume the victim's remains, they are surprised by the indifference expressed by those closest to the dead man. But Simone has a bigger and more personal problem to deal with when he tries to find out the facts behind the shooting death of Diane Russell's (Kim Delaney) abusive father. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
