Quick fanwank poll: "Because I never invited you in"

[beer_good_foamy]

OK, the invitation rule is always fun. If a vampire hasn't been invited into a private residence, there's an invisible barrier keeping him or her out. So in "Epiphany", if you recall, Angel has to save the gang from a bunch of funky demons with eyes in the back of their necks holding them hostage inside a house belonging to the late Sharp family, former non-paying clients of Angel Inc. Angel does this by driving Lindsey's truck straight through the window. One of those hero moments he does.

Now, luckily for him (and less so for the Sharps) everyone who used to live in that house is dead, which means Angel can enter without an invitation. And this is in an episode where the invitation rule is a pretty big theme.

The trouble with that, of course, is that while we know that the Sharps are dead, Angel doesn't. In fact, since the demons want to impregnate humans, it would have made sense for them to NOT kill the people in the house. So say, hypothetically, one or more of the Sharps was still alive. Say the invitation barrier was still up. So a vampire drives a heavy truck at full speed towards a house where he hasn't been invited.

What happens?

interesting poll, I would have to select other though. Now in the law there is a lot of convo as car as personal property/residence for those who live in cars and when it comes to search warrents and the like, now I fall into the car as personal property therefore not searchable without a warrent camp, there for he enters the house inside of his car then he would be ok because he would still be in the car...now getting the demons into the car so he could fight them, that would be the tough part.

Ah, but if that's how it worked, how did he get into the car in the first place? It's Lindsey's car, after all... :-)
