When a little girl is taken by an angel, Luke and Ruby try to gain her sister's trust...
Not the direction that you might have expected for the second episode, this sets Galvin and Mina up as some sort of Half-Life investigators – nearer to Torchwood than Buffy. It doesn't help that The Mill's effect for the initial appearance of the angel is at first glance similar to one they've used on both Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures.
The cast seem far more at ease in this story, with the banter less forced than in episode one, though the comments about Luke and Ruby's relationship could become stale very quickly if they're allowed to become too much of a running motif. Placing a "normal" person in jeopardy also has the potential to be overused.
The title music and the score seem increasingly out of place, which is surprising given how strongly they came together for Shine's last production, Merlin. It’s as if the show is relentlessly trying to get "down with the kids" – see Smallville or Buffy for ways in which to incorporate bands into the show without it being too obvious.
