Even if it takes an eternity, he will make amends.... "FROM DUSK UNTIL DAWN"December -- sure, 'tis the season and all that, but evil generally isn't up for a holiday. And December 21 -- well, that's usually the winter solstice.A.K.A. the longest night of the year.It's easy enough to see why this night would practically be the undead's New Year's Eve, which means, visions or no, it's a crunch time for Angel Investigations... moreEven if it takes an eternity, he will make amends....

"You never know until you're tested." -- Doyle, "Hero"Since he arrived in Los Angeles, Angel's mission has been to help the helpless. He has saved countless innocents in his city. However, one escaped his grasp: Doyle, the half-demon who came to Angel on a vision quest. Doyle sacrificed himself and in turn reconciled his internal conflict toward his own demonic heritage, leaving Angel and Cordelia to carry on with the good fight. And fight they do... more"You never know until you're tested." -- Doyle, "Hero"Since he arrived in Los Angeles, Angel's mission has been to help the helpless.

And fight they do.But as the group squares off against evil in the City of Angels,little do they know that back in Sunnydale, trouble is brewing.

Even if it takes an eternity, he will make amends... SAFE HAVEN Angel and Co. are enjoying a rare moment of relaxation at the karaoke bar Caritas when a loud explosion draws the gang -- and the rest of the bar's patrons -- outside. A building across the way is on fire, but the conflagration is nothing more than a diversionary tactic to distract people from a drive-by shooting! And when the smoke clears, Fred is missing... moreEven if it takes an eternity, he will make amends...

A building across the way is on fire, but the conflagration is nothing more than a diversionary tactic to distract people from a drive-by shooting! And when the smoke clears, Fred is missing. It's obvious she's been kidnapped, so Angel, Lorne, Cordy, Wes, and Gunn set about questioning everyone within the immediate radius. At least ten demons were direct eyewitnesses. One problem, though: Each tells a different story of what he, she, or it saw. It could have been gang warfare -- monster style -- or Fred could have wandered home without saying good-bye. One thing quickly becomes clear: Demons don't make for the most reliable sources.... less

Cordelia Chase is accustomed to being rocked by excruciating visions courtesy of the Powers That Be, but that doesn't mean that she is impervious to them. She is particularly disturbed to be visited with the image of someone she knows. It's Faith -- whose recent incarceration, it would seem, is the least of her problems... moreCordelia Chase is accustomed to being rocked by excruciating visions courtesy of the Powers That Be, but that doesn't mean that she is impervious to them. She is particularly disturbed to be visited with the image of someone she knows. It's Faith -- whose recent incarceration, it would seem, is the least of her problems. Angel wastes no time in heading off to jail to check on the once-rogue warrior, who admits to having noticed various creepies -- of the supernatural, rather than criminal, variety -- going bump in the night. She can't really investigate thoroughly for fear of giving away her status as Slayer to her fellow inmates. The picture becomes clearer when Chaz Escobar, a onetime game hunter, arrives at Angel Investigations. He explains that he is searching for his wife, Marianna, a vampire. He had been working on the cure for her vampirism on a small, distant island -- but she escaped. Chaz suspects her for being the monster harassing Faith. When Faith is magickally sprung from jail -- straight into Marianna's clutches -- Angel's Team and Chaz are off to Fantasy Island. Once there, however, they discover that Chaz's secondary goal is to rid the world of vampires -- even those with a soul. If Angel aligns himself with Chaz even to the point of self-sacrifice, his atonement will truly be complete. But before the two can retrieve the magickal chalice required for the destruction of vampires, they find themselves prey of a species of questionable evolution -- orchestrated by creatures of true evil: the lawyers of Wolfram & Hart. less
