Angel Episode #10: "Parting Gifts"
Episode Guide
SYNOPSIS 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.
