Angel's Journal - Season 2- Dear Boy

Season Two

Dear Boy

Angel wakes up from another dreamful night to even more bickering from Cordelia and Wesley. They never stop.

Cordelia gets a vision with sketchy details. (Do you expect anything else from The Powers That Be) While Cordelia and Wesley try to find the demon and location from Cordelia's vision, Angel daydreams of Darla. She's really got her claws into him.

Angel, Wesley, Cordy and Gunn arrive at a convent where two groups of cloaked men are fighting in front of a Thrall demon. The men then attack Angel and the others.

Gunn uses his new home-made battle axe to destroy the demon and all the cloaked men stop fighting. Walking home, Angel is shocked to see Darla walking the streets.

Flashback: Angel walks through the streets until he finds Darla, after she has killed two people. She points out a beautiful, young, dark-haired woman to Angel, who we recognize as Drusilla. Angel takes the young woman, pure and with the gift of visions, as a challenge.

A potential paying customer presents a case to Cordelia and Wesley about his wife who is cheating on him with another man. Angel tells Wesley and Cordelia about seeing Darla in his dreams and in real life but they think he's starting to lose his sanity. Because they know that Darla is dead, he did it himself four years ago in Sunnydale.

Lindsey and Darla talk about Angel and how he's progressing. At the police station, Kate works on some papaerwork. She receives notice from a friend (that friend being Lindsey McDonald) that Angel has moved his company into the old Hyperion Hotel.

Angel Investigations spy on a woman having an affair, but Angel spoils their cover by confronting the woman and telling her to talk to her husband. As they're leaving, Angel spots Darla but when he confronts her, she's human and claims to be DeEtta Kramer.

Angel pluck up his courage and goes to sing at the demon bar in order to get information about Darla from the Host but gets no concrete answers.

Angel finds the Kramer home and lurks outside while inside, Darla waits for the plan to take shape. Stephen Kramer reveals himself to be nothing more than an actor, posing as a husband for Darla.

Meanwhile, Cordelia and Wesley warn Gunn about the dangers of an evil Angel and Darla combined.

Flashback: Angelus and Darla fool around while a frightened human Drusilla (with only a shread of her sanity left) watches on. Although Darla doesn't seem to approve, Angel announces that he'll make Drusilla a vampire.

Darla and Lindsey's plan goes into effect when Angel breaks into her home in time to find himself setup for murdering Darla's supposed husband. The police arrive on scene, but Angel is able to escape without getting captured. Kate talks with Darla on the scene, but when Kate turns her back, Angel grabs Darla and takes her away to the convent.

He does everything he can to bring the real Darla out and with some persuasion, she does. The two kiss and Darla tries to convince Angel to let her make him happy. He tells her she never made him happy, but still she persists and tries to bring his demon out. But Angel has a lot moer control over it now.

With plenty of back up, Kate breaks into the hotel to search for Angel. She's determined to believe that Angel is and always will be evil. Gunn doesn't help matters either. Cordelia and Wesley try to convince Kate that Darla was once a vampire and that Angel didn't kill anyone.

Darla refuses to give up on Angel, but she leaves him underground until sunset. Angel broods in his room until Cordelia and Wesley confront him to make sure he's not evil. He tells them that much trouble is on the way, and he's looking forward to it.
