Angel Episode #2: "Lonely Hearts"
Episode Guide
SYNOPSIS At the office, Doyle asks Angel to put in
a good word with Cordelia for him, since he's very much interested. Cordelia
arrives with the calling cards she had made for Angel's soul saving services,
which have a little angel on them, that no one can recognize as such. Doyle gets
one of his visions which just shows a bar, no one particular and they go out and
see if they can find someone in need of help.
At the bar, a woman named Sharon runs into a man, Kevin, and both lonely and
desperate they find a common interest. They later leave the bar together.
Cordelia passes Angel's calling cards around, offering their help until Doyle
stops her. Angel meets a woman named Kate and both have a hard time
communicating with each other although they seem to have quite a bit in common.
A guy thinks Cordelia is offering services of a different kind with the cards
she was passing around and Doyle tries to stand up for her. A bar fight breaks
out, and Angel comes to the rescue. The two guys are kicked out, and a woman
impressed by Angel's heroic actions introduces herself to him. Angel talks to
her to see if she's in need of help, but Kate sees them, and leaves.
The next morning, after a night together, Sharon gets dressed. Blood everywhere,
Kevin is revealed to be dead. At the office, they do some research, looking for
any incidents at the club D'Obolique. Their search turns up a badly mutilated
and eviscerated body that was found. While Doyle and Cordelia search for more,
Angel goes back to the club to see if he can find the killer. On his way in, he
runs into Kate who tells him to go to Hell after he tries and warns her about
the danger inside the club. Angel talks to the bartender and finds out that
Kevin disappeared after going home with Sharon. After a few more questions are
asked, Angel tracks down Sharon and goes to her place to try and prevent the
next murder.
Angel arrives at the apartment just in time to see that Sharon is dead and the
looser guy she went home with is alive and has the demon of a Burrower in him.
The two fight, but the guy gets away just as Kate arrives and finds Angel. She
pulls a gun on him, revealing she's a detective with the LAPD, and tries to
arrest him. When Angel sees that she won't be convinced that he's not the
killer, he knocks her down and dives out the window. Doyle, Cordelia and Angel
set up a meeting at Cordelia's less-than-clean apartment. Angel tells them to
search for information on Burrowers--demons that move from body to body
searching for the perfect one to live in. Meanwhile, Kate illegally searches
Angel's place and the demon transfers bodies again into a woman.
Cordelia and Doyle are asleep when Angel returns in the early morning. They have
found a name for their burrower, Talamere, and that it doesn't have too many
weaknesses other than a dislike of fire. Angel calls Kate and asks for five
minutes to explain himself, to prove that he isn't the killer. At the club, Kate
asks the bartender to notify her when Angel arrives and a few minutes later, the
bartender tells her he thinks Angel is out back. When they get to the back room,
the bartender knocks her out. Angel arrives just in time to keep the burrower
from transferring to Kate's body, and then fights with the bartender.
Eventually, Angel and Kate are tossed down into the basement and locked in.
While the bartender looks for the next available body, having little luck with
his blood soaked shirt and peeling skin, Kate and Angel search for a way out of
the basement. They finally get out, and after some searching, Angel finds the
bartender with a girl out in an alley. Again, he fights with the bartender while
the girl runs away and then throws him into a nearby barrel. The fire that was
in the barrel ignites the bartender and then Kate arrives just in time to shoot
him once, and keep him from attacking Angel again. Later, after everything is
taken care of, Angel and Kate talk. She tells him about searching his apartment
and he tells her he'll be around.
At the office one night, Angel reluctantly offers for the three of them to go
out and do something, but instead, Cordelia and Doyle leave him to sit in the
dark alone, by himself.
