Angel rises once again.
Angel lies at the bottom of the ocean, despairing and hallucinating. Fortunately for him, Wesley's been keeping Justine locked in a cupboard for the last three months. With her unwilling aid, he finally discovers the vampire's aquatic prison.
While Wesley tries to revive Angel, Fred and Gunn are talking to Connor, now part of the team, back at the hotel. Suddenly, Fred attacks Connor with a taser and reveals that she knows what he did to his father.
Angel is returned to the hotel, and saves Fred from an attack by Connor. After explaining what happened with Holtz, he tells his son to get out.
- ten quick questions.
Trivia: Justine sneers at Wesley's search for Angel by calling him "Captain Ahab," after the crazed whaling ship captain in Herman Melville's novel Moby Dick. Ahab scoured the seven seas for a lifetime searching for the white whale which ripped off his leg, a quest which ultimately spelt disaster for him.
This episode picks up the action about three months after the end of season three. In that time, Connor has been helping Gunn and Fred run Angel Investigations, Wesley's been bonking Lilah a lot while keeping Justine locked in a cupboard, and Lorne's off in Las Vegas. And Angel? Well, he describes his summer thus: "Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch."
