15. Loyalty
(dt. Titel: Eine Frage der Loyalität)




Wesley tries to find out more about the prophecy that claims Angel will kill his son and contacts a higher power for help. The being tells him to look out for three signs: blood, fire and earthquake. However, Wesley doesn't inform Angel of the possible danger.
Holtz sends a woman of his new team of revenge-seeking humans to Angel investigations. She pretends to be a customer but really is just trying to spy on them. Wes and Angel finally find out about the plot and Wesley secretly follows the woman to Holtz' hide-out. After his talk with the fanatic Holtz Wes begins to feel stupid for distrusting Angel who obviously loves his son more than anything. But then an earthquake shakes Los Angeles...
Meanwhile Sahjhan becomes impatient with Holtz' plans to kill Angel and takes matter into his own hands. He contacts Lilah Morgan and together they make up a new plan.



Comments:

  • Great performance by Alexis Denisof (go Wes!)

Quotes:

Loa: You risk your life, human, calling on the Loa. Perhaps what you really seek is death. The pain in your heart begs for it.
Wes: Then do it and be done. Nothing else will stop me.
Loa: Simple mortal, your pain is just beginning. Betrayal and agony lie in wait, and time is running out, yet still you ignore the question.
Wes: Alright then, when? When will this happen?
Loa: The first portent will shake the earth. The second will burn the air. The last will turn the sky to blood.
Wes: An earthquake? That's the first portent? We live California!
Loa: Earthquake, fire, blood. Be heedful of the signs, human, and trouble the Loa no more.




Wes: Well, I must have misunderstood. Here I thought it was a simple blood vendetta, when what you *really* want is to protect Angel's son.
Holtz: You don't believe me.
Wes: Hmm. Not sure really. Could be the low scary voice that's giving me trouble.
