DOYLE: Lots of stuff here about the building. Construction bids, city inspections.

ANGEL: Tenants. We need people who lived there.

CORDELIA: And died there. That’s the ingredients for ghosts, right?

DOYLE: Yeah. This isn’t easy, you know?

ANGEL: You know, this really is just a place to live.

CORDELIA: No! It’s more. It’s beautiful, and if it goes away it’s like…

ANGEL: Like what?

CORDELIA: Like I’m still getting punished.

ANGEL: Punished. For what?

CORDELIA: I don’t know. For how I was? For everything I said in High School just 'cause I could get away with it? And then it all ended, and I had to pay. But this apartment – I could be me again. Punishment over – welcome back to your life! Like, like I couldn’t be *that* awful if I get to have a place like that? It’s just like you!

ANGEL: Working for redemption.

CORDELIA: I meant because you used to have that mansion.

DOYLE: Hey, I found something! Ladies and gentlemen, we have a death. First person to ever live in your place – Mrs. Maude Pearson.

ANGEL: How did you get that?

DOYLE: Name carved over the entrance of the building – Pearson Arms. I checked the obits for Pearson, we got lucky. Turns out Maude Pearson built the place and took a unit there, too. And in 1946 she dropped dead of a heart attack in Cordelia’s living room - at age 57.

CORDELIA: That’s it! That’s her.

ANGEL: I don’t know. It’s not a violent death. I mean, ghosts usually…

CORDELIA: It’s her, I know it. That place has that weird little old lady smell, like - like violets and aspercreme.

DOYLE: No, they didn’t find the body for three weeks. So it wasn’t violets there at the end I’m thinking.

CORDELIA: This is easy. Little old lady ghost, probably hanging around because she thinks she left the iron on. Let’s get a nice cleansing spell and do this thing!

ANGEL: Well, this is not an easy spell. I mean, hawthorn berries and lungwort and bile. We need bile. I don’t know if we can get everything.

DOYLE: I can. I know this guy in koreatown, he does these spells all the time. I can get the stuff from him.

CORDELIA: Oh, goody! Another of Doyle’s guys. Tell me, is this the same guy that help me find my poltergeist-delicious apartment?

ANGEL: Doyle, go! Get what you need. (To Cordy) I’m gonna try and get some more information. Maybe Kate can find something. You wait here.

CORDELIA: Little old lady ghost. How come Patrick Swayze's never dead when you need him?
