This episode is exactly why I love standalone episodes. This one reminds me a lot of the season 2 episode of Buffy where her and angel get possessed and deliver a monologue. Also, who doesn't like a night out for the gang!

There's no real reason for the crew to just go to the ballet at this point in the story. The Wesley/Fred/Gunn and Angel/Cordy/Groo stuff could have been worked into practically any episode. The parallels with the monster-of-the-week would be missing, but if you only have 13 episodes instead of 22 you're not doing monster-of-the-week anyway. Generally that's a good thing - a lot of shows wasted a lot of time on forgettable filler (or filler that was unforgettable for the wrong reasons). Angel has some that too ("She" springs to mind), but generally the Whedonverse was able to use its longer seasons to better effect than what came before.
