Why were they throwing buckets of pee in the street? Who's pee?

I remember in a virtual con they talked about how their shooting was disrupting the people that lived nearby. They were so angry at the cast and crew that they were throwing buckets of urine and trash into the street, knowing that they would be laying down and crouching in it. Bleh.

I was about to say the same thing about Alexis - I do agree that Julie Benz is incredible, but I'd put Alexis up there too - especially going forward from this point of the show.

Yeah, Julie Benz did quite a few movie roles after Angel. She was also in Rambo 2008 (4th in the franchise). Then had her next big, long-term role in Dexter.

It was more than just sacrifice for Darla. She really didn't want to go back to her old soulless and evil self. Couldn't bear the thought of that.
Julie Benz did earn a much longer stay in the Buffyverse because Whedon and others were big fans of her acting. They had to keep coming up with ways to bring her back. The pregnancy, obviously, being the most outrageous. But it works in the long run because of her acting.

For me, the best actress in the buffyverse is Amy Acker. The best actor Alexis Denisoff.

Julie Benz is amazing, but she's number 2. SMG is objectively the best actor in the whole buffyverse. Her talent is peak.

This is a fantastic episode for sure. I have really enjoyed Julie's work in Angel so much more during this rewatch. She and David did a phenomenal job in the alley scene - it's absolutely heartbreaking. The concept that Darla loved her son so much that she sacrificed her life so that he could live instead was fascinating. Even though Darla didn't have a soul, it was like she shared her son's soul. I found your reaction to Holtz's last line very interesting. Season 3 is going so strong!

Yes Julie Benz is great but the entire Buffyverse wouldn’t exist without the phenomenal talent of SMG. She can act a dramatic scene without uttering a single world. She has exceptional comedic timing. And she makes a believable kickass heroine. People never gives her enough credit.
Another brilliant actor is James Marsters as witnessed in the episode Fool for Love in which he interprets to perfection the multiple aspects of his character from hopeless romantic William to Spike the killer of Slayers to lovesick Spike.

In no particular order Julie Benz, Alexis Denisoff, Amy Acker, and SMG are the best of the Buffyverse.

I absolutely love Julie Benz as Darla, I can watch her episodes over and over again and her acting is brilliant like you said

This was a good scene yes. But for me the real star of the series will always be Faith. Not even a close call.
Five by five.
