Harm's Way

Elizabeth Craft

Harmony gets framed for murder by an envious co-worker, while Spike, corporeal again, tells the Fang Gang he is heading for Europe, to look for Buffy.

In the end, Harm manages to prove her innocence and Spike, still in Los Angeles, explains to her he has given up Europe because he doesn't want his sacrifice (for Buffy and the world) to have been in vain.


Soul Purpose*

*Directed by DAVID BOREANAZ

Angel is infected by Eve and has terrible hallucinations, where he sees himself as no worthy to be a Champion anymore.

Meanwhile, [Lindsey] introduces himself to Spike (as Doyle), incentives him to take Angels' place as the Champion of the people and the soulled vampire saves his first damsel in distress — giving her, afterwards, a piece of his mind because de "bimbo" was walking alone, with high hills, in a desert alley in the middle of the night.

Anyway, Spike does accept his fate as Hero, as well as the humble apartment (in a basement) Lindsey arranges for him to live.


Damage

Fang Gang and Spike (to Angel's distress) have to deal with a crazy Slayer, Dana — awoken by Willow's spell (Buffy/Chosen) — who is killing in Los Angeles, after escaping from a mental institution. To help them (and retrieve the Slayer) arrives [Andrew], who gets very excited when he finds out that Spike is alive and well.

Things go a little hard on Spike, who has his hands cut off by Dana, because the girl confuses him with the man who killed her parents and tortured her when she was a child. Fortunately, Angel arrives in time when she is about to dust him, and he is taken to the hospital, where his hands are reattached.

In the hospital bed, Spike has a conversation with Angel, saying he had never thought about Evil, he used to do all he did just for fun, and he can't complain about what Dana has just done to him — he was innocent about her family and her, but he did kill hundreds of other families.


You're Welcome

David Fury

Cordelia awakes from her coma after having a  vision where Angel is in trouble. She doesn't like to know Angel is now the CEO for Wolfram & Hart, but the vampire explains to her he accepted to run the place in exchange for a new life for Connor and medical treatment for her.

Meanwhile, Spike is in his apartment, recovering from the surgery — playing video game, that is. Doyle/Lindsey drops by, but before they can talk, he gets a call from Eve saying that Cordy has returned and will end up making Angel find out about him.

Next, Spike is at Wolfram & Hart biting Cordelia, and is knocked down by Angel, who wants to know why he has attacked her; Spike explains his "source" said that Cordy is a demon, and evil, and he just wanted to taste her. The three of them talk, and Doyle's true identity ends up in the open.

Lindsey, with his body covered with runes (tattoos), manages to enter Wolfram & Hart and tries to start a fail safe built by the Senior Partners in order to destroy Angel just in case, but Spike, Angel and Cordy succeeds in stopping him, and Lindsey is sent, through a portal, to a unknown place.

In the end, Angel learns that Cordelia never woke up — actually, she is dead. She only took corporeal form as a favor from the Powers That Be, to help Angel and show him he still is a Champion.
