Wesley and Virginia continue their relationship until Wesley getting shot in the line of duty opens Virginia's eyes to the danger of his job and, when he refuses to change his occupation, she breaks up with him.

Of course Angel and co find their way to Pylea where Landok welcomes Angel as a hero and slayer of the Drachen beast, and invites him to tell stories of his heroics. As the conquering hero, Angel gets the rare pleasure of beheading a runaway slave, the very girl from Cordelia's vision. Angel and co save both Cordy and Fred and head back home leaving Landok in a much improved Pylea

Gavin's first job as Wolfram & Hart seems innocent enough, visiting the Hyperion Hotel, he finds no less than 32 building code violations, however, his real task is to install several 'bugs' that will transmit everything that goes on at Angel Investigations in full and glorious colour straight back to his bosses at Wolfram & Hart. The only place missed apparently, is the toilet. His ingeniousness leads to Wolfram & Hart's discovery of Darla's pregnancy. Round one to Gavin.

Not to be out done though, Lilah is soon in secret consultations with the Senior Partners and their rivalry ends when she takes over as department head. Things go from bad to worse when The Beast attacks Wolfram & Hart and kills all the employees, including Gavin, and turns them into zombies.

When Cordy has a vision of Groo fighting (and losing) to a vicious beast, she begs him not fight, but the covenant persuade Groo that the beast (Angel) will defile his princess if he does not kill him and the two fight, but Cordy steps in before Angel can kill Groo. In the meantime, Wesley and Gunn have seen to the death of the evil head priest and Cordy announces the abolishment of slavery, among other things, and hands over the rule of Pylea to Groo.

With Cordy gone, however, things don't go so well in Pylea and soon there is a Dance of Revolution and Groo is deposed and finds himself in LA and back in the arms of his princess just as Angel is about to declare his love for her. Cordy sets to work giving Groo a make over, (nice short hair that sticks up, leather jacket, no, she's not modeling him on anyone we know) and asks Angel to helpfind a potion that will allow them to Com Shuk without her losing her visions. Unable to deal with Groo stepping into his shoes in more ways than one, Angel sends the pair off on vacation where they can cum shuk to their heart's content.

On their return they find things very different at Angel Investigations and Groo slowly begins to realises that it is not him that Cordy loves but Angel. His final gift to his Princess is to make her realise this too, then he leaves.
