Episode #117, "The Sanctity of Murder"
Michael Hanley stood outside the church, smiling as he looked at the wreckage outside. Today was a day to be remembered, now that he had finally gotten Ryan Phillips and Derek Moore out of his life. Ryan would be married to Vanessa and take care of the child that Michael couldn't let anyone know was his, and Derek was now charred to a crisp. "Finally, a happy ending everyone can be proud of," Michael said. "So, you did do it." Michael turned around to see Vincent Moore exiting the church, frowning at him. "Do what, Vince?" Michael asked. "You killed my uncle, right?" Vince asked. "Of course not," Michael said quickly. "Whatever would give you that idea?" Vince smirked. "Nothing. Forget I said I said anything." Before Michael could finish questioning Vince, Antonio Gomez cut in between them and grabbed Vince's arm. "Please, excuse us," Antonio said, dragging Vince to the side of the church. "Ow! Let go of me!" Vince cried, hitting Antonio. "What the hell are you doing?" "We have work to finish," Antonio said. "You can't go off getting sidetracked!" "My uncle just died, Antonio," Vince reminded him. "I'm hardly in the mood right now to play teen witch." "You didn't even like him," Antonio snapped. "He killed your father." "I have to find my sister," Vince said, walking away. "We'll talk later." Antonio folded his arms as Vince stormed off, more than mildly upset at this turn of events. He didn't care one way or another about Derek dying, but it would have been much more satisfying if Vince were directly responsible for Derek's death. "Way to go, Hattori," Zaliphyr laughed, appearing next to Antonio. "Temae," Antonio retorted, turning away from Zaliphyr. |
This is also right after Vince first moved into the Hanley mansion, so he could better get Michael to kill Derek for him. Vince still thinks that Michael killed Derek
to this day, actually. Which should be interesting considering he's always known Michael was never a white hat, so he can't really fault him for turning out that way recently.
Antonio and Zaliphyr were the original evildoing duo, much like Kyle/Rebecca are now, I suppose. Though I'll admit it was a lot more fun to write for Antonio and Zaliphyr. Antonio's turn as Vince's guardian angel to a demon, spurred by Zaliphyr's demonic manipulations, was inspired by Cordelia turning evil on Angel. In fact, the episode were Antonio revealed to the audience that he was evil was called "Calvary" just like the Angel episode. Also, Julia was a frequent pawn of theirs, just like she became for Quentin Blood. I'm looking forward to doing some stories with Julia where she's not under the influence of some big evil thing. |
