Angel - Season 3, Episode 18 - "Double Or Nothing"

In Double Or Nothing Cordelia and Groo return from their sex vacation to find that Connor has been abducted by Holtz and taken to the demon dimension Quor'Toth. Wesley is still in the hospital and has been shunned by all of his friends.

The main plot of the episode deals with an old deal Gunn made with demon casino runner Jenoff. Turns out Gunn traded his soul long ago and it's time to pay up. Believing it may be his last day alive he takes Fred out for the day stuffing her full of food and pumping her full of fun. I'm sure he was planning on pumping her full of black anaconda but before he gets a chance Fred sees through what he's doing and realizes there must be something terribly wrong. Gunn reacts to the accusation by turning incredibly mean, saying it would be nice to have a real woman and not a "stick figure". Fred returns to the hotel and let's the rest of the crew in on the sitch.

Angel and crew head off to the casino to rescue Gunn just as he was about to willingly turn himself in to the soul sucking Jenoff. Angel challenges Jenoff to a game of Double or Nothing in an attempt to win back Gunn's soul. Angel loses and tries to decapitate the demonic gangster only to find that his head just grows back. He turns to the rest of the casino patrons and asks, "Does anyone else owe this guy?" The demons take the hint and seize the opportunity to tear Jenoff to shreds. All's well that ends well. It turns out Gunn had traded his soul for...A TRUCK!!?? What a dumb ass...but I love him.
