Angel, Gunn and Spike rescue Lindsey from a suburban hell dimension; Lorne and Eve are pursued by a representative of the senior partners; and Wesley consoles Illyria, who hates her new world.

When a warlock brings Connor back into Angel's life, Wesley finds out that Angel has tinkered with the memories of his friends.

As Angel and Hamilton urge Wesley to get rid of Illyria, she suffers a cataclysmic physical breakdown; and Gunn clashes with Angel over the enforcement of an evil demon contract.

As Angel's behaviour grows increasingly hostile, his friends learn he's associating with members of an evil secret society, and may have deliberately engineered Fred's death.

Angel and his friend's prepare for their "suicide" attack on the circle of the Black Thorn.
