If the gang realizes they may have bit off more than they can chew after setting Angelus free, they encounter an even bigger problem when they’re ready to restore Angel’s soul.
The gang at Angel Investigations faces a familiar foe even more formidable than the Beast -- Angelus. Angel's exquisitely evil alter ego is back after the vampire's soul is extracted by a shaman in an attempt to determine Angel's connection to the demon wreaking havoc in Los Angeles. But the sullen supervamp has little love for the derring-do-gooders and soon starts spilling their secrets, aiming to turn the friends against each other. Wesley, Fred, Gunn and Connor all get their shot at face time with the caged Angelus, but it's Cordy who holds the key to get him talking.
