'Strange Angel' episode 8 review: Jack and Richard fall out as Susan confronts the Grand Magus
In the previous episode of CBS All Access' new period drama biopic 'Strange Angel', we saw Jack being dragged deeper into the world of Thelema and Sex Magick as he is abandoned by Richard and the CalTech team to pursue their own projects. Meanwhile, Susan's concerns about Jack grow after she researches Aleister Crowley and confronts Ernest's wife Maggie, who finally gives up on Ernest and moves away, leaving him to battle his inner demons alone. Finally, thanks to Jack's devout belief in "manifesting his will" and his commendable salesmanship in front of General Braxton, the CalTech rocketry team gets a chance to present their idea to the military honchos in Washington D.C. Richard tells Jack this good news but doesn't share the fact that Jack is not invited to D.C. along with him. In our review of the episode, we speculated that this reveal would further deteriorate the relationship between the best friends turned partners in science, but refreshingly, it does not turn out to be so.
