SynopsisEdit

Cordy has a vision of a child being attacked by a squidlike demon. Meanwhile, Gunn is trying to rescue a young artist; the artist's studio is being attacked by vampires. Cordelia goes to investigate the mansion from her vision. She soon finds herself surrounded by baby products, portraits, and being chased by a tentacled monster. When Angel arrives on the scene, he is surprised to discover that he recognizes some of the portraits. He holds distant memories of him and Darla spending a night with storytellers and artists. An old evil is trying to use a painting to preserve the life of its body, and preying on a child. In their efforts to save the child, Team Angel will learn not to judge everything by its image.

ContinuityEdit

The events took place after "Are You Now or Have You Ever Been" but before "Stranger to the Sun".

• While investigating the case, Angel remembers an ancient painting-based magic he learned about as Angelus, which grants an artist the ability to make what he paints reality; as Angelus, Angel witnessed this magic being used to create a woman; the resulting creature inspiring Mary Shelley to write Frankenstein when she witnessed it while out walking one night, although she assumed it was merely a dream and he learns that their current enemy has previously used the magic to become eternally young, apparently inspiring the tale of The Picture of Dorian Gray.
