the Beast knows Angelus. ergo we need Angelus.
from Long Day's Journey (Season 4)

CORDELIA: Angel, we have to talk.

FRED: I can't believe we lost the sun.

CORDELIA: Angel, I think I figured it out.

ANGEL: So have I. The Beast knows me.

CORDELIA: No, it doesn't. It knows Angelus. Am I right? While you were upstairs, it came to me. I wasn't having a vision of the demon, I was having a memory of it.

GWEN: How's that again?

CORDELIA: I told you, when I was a higher being, I'd experienced everything you'd ever done as Angelus. But since I've been back, my memory's been fading until the Powers decided to jog it, I guess. Angel, I saw you, long ago, standing in a field of bodies with the Beast.

CONNOR: You knew this thing, and you didn't tell us?

ANGEL: No, I couldn't come up against something like that and not remember.

GUNN: The answer is among you. It's what the little girl meant, isn't it? This was never about Connor, it's about—

FRED: Angelus.

ANGEL: I'm telling ya. I don't know this beast. I'd remember.

CORDELIA: Like you remember falling asleep before Manny got killed?

ANGEL: What?

GWEN: And inside job.

ANGEL: What's that supposed to mean?

WESLEY: It means you're a suspect. If Cordelia's right, we should admit the possibility that this Beast may have some sort of power over you to make you do things, to make you forget.

CORDELIA: And he has a plan. The rain of fire, taking down Wolfram and Hart, even blotting out the sun. I think I think now, those were only the first steps to something bigger.

ANGEL: I don't know what to tell any of you, 'cause I don't know what the plan is.

WESLEY: No, but Angelus might. There's only one way we're gonna defeat this Beast. We need Angelus.
