Angel discovers that The Powers That Be have great plans for his future
Wolfram and Hart send Vocah, warrior of the underworld, to destroy Angel. The creature kills the Oracles, blows up Angel's offices and drives Cordelia out of her mind.
Angel discovers that the Vocah is preparing a mysterious ritual but fails to prevent it. He does chop off one of Lindsey's hands in the attempt, though.
Wesley has translated the scroll Angel stole from Wolfram and Hart and discovers that Angel is going to be made human by the Powers That Be as a reward for his good deeds.
The mysterious ceremony reaches its conclusion - with the resurrection of Darla!
Trivia: Producer David Greenwalt revealed that Angel Investigations was blown up during the episode because the sets were too cramped to film in. The crew opted for a much roomier hotel set in season two.
