"Parting Gifts"

Written by: David Fury and Jeannine Renshaw
Directed By: James Contner




Angel goes to the Oracles to ask for Doyle back, but they cannot help him. A demon runs from someone on a motorcycle. Cordelia is really hurt and working for some memory of Doyle. She leaves Angel alone for an audition. The demon that was running from the motorcycle goes to Angel for help, but Angel is reluctant to help the demon named, Barney. Barney has the ability to read people's emotions. Cordelia breaks down into tears at her audition and then when she tries the scene again, she suddenly gets a vision.

The man on the motorcycle continues to track the demon he's after. Cordelia returns from her audition and goes right to Angel and kisses him. Realizing that Doyle gave her the visions when he kissed her, she's kissing everyone she can to try and get rid of it. He leaves Cordelia to watch Barney and try and remember what she saw in her vision. He goes to check out Barney's apartment and runs into the motorcycle man. After pulling a crossbow on Angel, the man reveals himself to be Wesley Wydaham-Pryce. Angel talks to Wesley and finds that he was fired from the Watcher's Council and is now a rogue demon hunter.

Barney tries to talk to Cordelia and she tells him about Doyle. Without realizing who he is, Cordelia kisses Wesley but is disappointed that the visions are still with her. After researching the demon, and finding that Wesley was hunting a Kungai demon, Angel goes off alone to find it. After bargaining for in information, Angel finds the Kungai demon, but he is dying because the horn on his forehead was ripped off. Cordelia tells Barney about the visions and he tells her she received a great gift from Doyle. While Cordelia makes coffee, Barney makes a call and reveals that he took the horn from the Kungai demon, and is now interested in Cordelia's powers.

Wesley shows up and helps Angel by attempting to translate the Kungai language. He can't seem to translate enough of it though before the demon dies. Barney suddenly starts to pick on Cordelia's weak emotions, and makes her feel bad. Cordelia is tied up, and pretends to get a vision so that she has the opportunity to escape. Angel and Wesley return to the apartment and find Cordelia gone. Angel finds a drawing she drew from her vision, and recognizes it as a statue.

With Angel's research and Wesley remembering more of the Kungai language, the two go off to a hotel where the statue was sent for auction and hope to find Cordelia. Cordy however, wakes up in a room and overhears the plans for her eyes to be sold for their ability to see the future. When put up for sale, the bidding starts low, but Cordelia tries to stall by encouraging buyers to pay more. A lawyer from Wolfram and Hart finally offers the winning bid, and asks for the eyes to be extracted. Angel and Wesley arrive just in time and while Angel fights, Wesley sets Cordelia free.

Wesley and Barney get into a fight and Cordelia picks up the Kungai horn that was for sale and stabs Barney with it. At Angel's apartment later, Wesley packs up his things while Angel fixes breakfast. He makes a big deal about leaving until Angel offers him breakfast as well.
