I'm always left wanting something out of this episode,
even though I really like Bethany and I love how the
season arc continues to build slowly yet consistently.
I think this was a good example of how the
storytelling on the series improved dramatically in
the second season, thanks to the closer attention paid
by Joss. At the time, there were still some bemoaning
the lack of action, but I think this season was the
right move. Besides, I love all the complexities of
the Wolfram and Hart schemes!
Here's my review for Angel 2.4: "Untouched":

Overall, this episode is typical of early-season
Mutant Enemy installments, focusing on character
relationships and setting the stage for the fireworks
later in the arc. While the main plot thread is
interesting, it falls into some predictable territory,
and ultimately the episode is more notable for its
look in Wolfram and Hart than anything Angel does.
