In an attempt to locate The Beast and restore the sun to Los Angeles, Wesley brings in a dark mystic, named Wo-Pang, to extract Angel's soul and release the evil Angelus who apparently knew the Beast centuries before and who may know how to kill it. The gang build a large cage in the basement where they tie Angel down and Wo-Pang creates an illusion reality. In it: Wo-Pang betrays the gang, and research made by Gunn and Fred shows the location of a sword that can kill the Beast. Angel, Cordelia, Connor and Wesley venture to a subterranean tunnel filled with lethal trip-wire devices which Angel acquires the sword, kills the Beast, restores the sun, and a happy moment leads him to make love to Cordelia...
Trivia
- Angel says that Wesley has only read about Angelus, that he "never had the pleasure of his company". Although in Eternity Rebecca Lowell drugs Angel, making him act like Angelus for a time, it wasn't the real thing.
