"Sanctuary"
Episode Guide
SYNOPSIS Picking up where "Five by
Five" left off, Angel and Faith go to his apartment and try to recover from
the fight. In a brief, but violent vision, Faith charges at Angel with a knife
and cuts up his face. Cordelia and Wesley check out each other's wounds and both
share the same negative feelings about Faith. Angel comes up for food to feed
Faith and argues with Wesley about giving Faith another chance. Cordelia gets
Angel to sign several checks, which will fund her vacation so she can be gone
for as long as Faith is around.
The police check over the apartment where Faith was staying and the fight
occurred. Another officer accuses Kate of being "Scully" from X-Files,
but she says she's the "Mulder." Angel tries to talk to Faith but
after taking a large knife from her hand. The lawyers at Wolfram and Hart are
very upset that Faith is now teaming up with Angel and plan to have her killed.
Haunted by visions of her violent past in Sunnydale, Faith tries to leave, but
Angel talks her into staying. Wesley plays darts at a bar, and encounters
Weatherby, a member of the Watcher's Council's Special Operations team on the
hunt for Faith.
The council members talk with Wesley and give him an opportunity to come back to
the Council if he's willing to turn in Faith. They give him a syringe that, if
injected will sedate Faith and let them take her back to England. Angel talks
with Faith and tells her she has to make amends for her crimes, no matter how
hard it is. She accidentally lets it slip that she slept with Buffy's new
boyfriend. Faith sees herself on the news and that the police are looking for
her. A demon hired by Wolfram and Hart sneaks into Angel's apartment and
attacks. Faith kills it with a knife, and then is frightened by the sight of the
demon's blood on her hands.
Without warning, Buffy arrives at Angel's place and finds Angel hugging Faith.
Buffy is shocked, and is determined to turn Faith into the police. Angel sends
Faith upstairs and when Buffy objects, the two come to blows. Upset about their
failed attempts to destroy Faith and Angel, Lindsey MacDonald goes to Detective
Lockley for her help. Buffy and Angel argue over Faith and then Wesley arrives
downstairs with Faith, informing them all about the team hunting for Faith.
Wesley trusts Angel and is doing what he can to save Faith from the Council.
The two Slayers escape to the roof and argue about everything that has happened.
Buffy is not willing to forgive anymore. While Weatherby keeps Angel and Wesley
in the apartment, Collins attacks Buffy and Faith on the roof. Armed, the third
member of the team, Smith hovers above the roof in a helicopter. Wesley
distracts Weatherby, and later stabs him with the syringe while Angel escapes to
the roof. Buffy battles with Collins, and Angel jumps through a roof window and
attacks the Smith inside.
Angel orders the helicopter to land and then Kate arrests him when he won't give
up Faith's location. Wesley and Buffy go to save Angel at the police station and
Buffy won't allow Angel to take the fall for Faith. They are all surprised to
see Faith is at the station where she voluntarily confesses to her crimes. Angel
and Buffy talk, and Buffy informs Angel about Riley. Angel gets upset and tells
her to go home because she can move on and he can't. After talking to Wesley,
Angel plans to go after Buffy. Meanwhile, Faith manages to find some sort of
peace in a jail cell.
