Eternity

 

In this episode Angel and Wesley are first seen in the theatre watching Cordelia act in a play, bad is not really the word for it, with minimal attendance and most people wanting to exit it does not go the way she planned. Afterwards while walking back to the office Cordelia spots Oliver Simon the big Talent agent, he is with Rebecca Lowell, the woman who had a TV series called On Your Own in which she played Raven, until the show got cancelled. Angel notices a car parked across the street which continues to try and run her over as she crosses the street, he takes the impact pushing her out of the way. She comes over to them and Cordelia rambles on not letting Angel get a word in edgeways.. Angel eventually disappears while Cordelia gives Rebecca their business card.

When Rebecca shows up in the office asking Angel for his help and he declines Cordelia goes mad, what she doesn't know is that Angel likes her and when Wesley points this out Cordelia suddenly gets the point - Angel however secretly watched Rebecca and saves her from an intruder in her house, this is when she looks in the mirror and only sees herself and not Angel too....

Afterwards she finds Angel still in her home and tells her that she knows that he is a Vampire, much to Angel's surprise she is not scared at all and asks if he will stay the night to protect her. He then continues to escort her to a photo opportunity as she calls it and encounters a man with a gun that tries to kill her, he saves her of course and later finds out that the man in fact was set up by Oliver to scare her and make the publicity so that her what failing career would pick up.

When she turns up at Angel's apartment with a glass of champagne and spikes it with Doxymol wanting to become undead as well, thing do not go to plan for her the drug synthetically makes him feel pure bliss - complete contentment - Angel turns in to the most feared Angelus, Rebecca thinks that he is trying to scare her at first but then realises that he is in fact going to kill her if she doesn't get away. He plays and taunts her throwing her around like a rag doll, when she hits him with a brass candlestick and escapes.. Wesley grabs her from the elevator and asks what exactly she has given him causing him to turn again. Wesley realises that it is only temporary but also realises that they must leave as he will still kill them. Angel however cuts the power so that they cannot escape and comes in through the front door - facing them all - he knocks Wesley out and turns on Cordelia who acts so great with a bottle of regular water shame she couldn't of done the same at the theatre. Wesley awakes knocking Angel into the lift which puts him out cold..

Later Angel awakes chained to his bed faced with his friends, he apologies but knows that it won't help as Cordelia tells him that at least the evil part of him was honest and that she expects that from him too, Wesley tells him to forget it and both he and Cordelia leave him chained to the bed.
