Episode 13, Season 4 Title: "Salvage"
Written by: David Fury Directed by: Jefferson Kibbee Original Air Date: 5 March 2003
Teaser:
A dark shadow walks the halls of the Hyperion, and stops in front of Lilah�s lifeless body, �Well that�s not fun.� We see Angelus has finally caught up with his prey.
Wes and Gunn run through the halls of the Hyperion but arrive only to find Angelus feeding off Lilah. He drops her and runs, jumping out the window, leaving a stunned Wesley behind.
Downstairs, Cordelia removes the arrow in her thigh with the help of Fred and Connor. The entire crew is together once more and Gunn informs them that Angelus killed Lilah. Connor runs upstairs to check it out. Cordy observes, �It�s started�..� with a sick momentary smile of satisfaction.
Act I:
In the hotel hall, everyone stands around Lilah�s body in disbelief and Gunn covers her with a clear plastic. Connor is anxious to follow Angelus, not to mention kill him, but Wes knows better that Angelus will return. Lorne offetelyn anti-violence spell from the Furies to at least offer some protection inside the hotel but Connors scoffs at it recalling Angel�s botched return-the-soul spell. Bickering follows but it�s silenced when Connor points out that Lilah may have been turned and Wes volunteers to �take care of it.�
Outside, the sun is still dark, while Angelus makes his way to a pool hall overrun by vampires. He�s quickly recognized as he makes his entrance, �Angel has left the building and I�m back!� A vamped out fan named Rosario that knew him back in the day tries to hit on him but, annoyed, he easily dusts her with a pool stick. Angel is there to find the locale of the Beast but his contact, a demon by the bar, is star struck and asks for an autograph for his little minion. Fans. A nearby vamp overhears Angelus� agenda and offers that he has seen the Beast down by a building near the wash.
At the Hyperion basement, Wesley carefully unfolds the plastic away from Lilah�s body. Wesley�s conscious takes the best of him and her eyes suddenly open. She speaks. Lilah plays with his emotions claiming he loved her but he yells, �You didn�t love me,� and she responds looking at her own body, �Well, we�ll never know now.�
Down by the wash, the two vampires from the bar are leading Angelus to where they saw the Beast. Angelus catches a whiff of a girl soon to be a snack and follows her scent. The lackeys offer to come with but the evil vamp ignores them.
At the office, Lorne is on the phone with the Furies instructing him on a quickie spell, while Fred and Gunn raid the spice rack and bring the items to the counter. The Furies give Lorne a spell as Conner is spacing, anxious to kill Angelus, wondering why Wes is taking so long. He tries to walk out but Cordy suddenly faints and not from a vision. Conner quickly helps her upstairs to her room. Lorne and Gunn agree that they can�t control him.
Stockton, California. At a women�s penitentiary, the guard announces, �430019, coming out!� Lo and behold, Faith steps out for some sunshine.
Act II:
At the prison yard, Faith practices her pull ups when she�s suddenly attacked by one of the inmates. Deb attacks Faith from behind with a large knife but she�s no match for an ex-slayer. It�s clear that Deb was doing it for the money and Faith only defends herself. Deb finally goes down and Eddie, one of the guards, intervenes, knows that Faith was only defending herself. Another guard holds Deb�s knife, large and bejeweled, definitely an outside job.
In the basement, Wesley�s conscious is speaking through Lilah. She knows him enough to know that he feels guilty for not saving her from herself. He apologizes and the axe finally hits the mark.
At a warehouse, Angelus has followed the scent of the girl only to find the Beast has killed her, using her to lead the evil vampire to him. Angelus takes notice of a knife created out of the Beast�s own flesh sitting on a box. The Beast reveals that Angelus owes his freedom to his Master. Angelus baits the Beast into a fight and makes it clear that he doesn�t take orders from a messenger. The Beast strikes out against Angel but misses every time. Angel jumps into the rafters and refuses to cooperate unless he can speak to the Master directly and leaves. A disappointed Cordelia steps out from behind some boxes, upset at the Beast�s inability to control his anger but if Angelus refuses to play the Beast can have him. She forgives the Beast and then orders him to �give Momma some sugar.� They kiss.
At the Hyperion, Lorne chants the final words to the protection spell, but there�s no visible reaction the spell has worked. Connor mouths off on magic again but this time Lorne tries to hit him with a candlestick. The candlestick never hits its mark proving the spell has worked. Wes finally comes up from the basement and finds Cordy is still resting upstairs. He�s determined to save Angel and there�s only one person that can help him.
At the penitentiary, Faith walks into the visitors� area with glass walls and phones, surprised that Wes is there to see her. She sees a change in Wes and gives him an appreciate gaze, �You�re looking�..good.� Faith knows about the strange occurrences. Armageddon is here, but she can�t help, being in prison paying for her crime and all. She changes her mind when Wes reveals that Angelus is back. She asks Wes to step back from the glass and crashes through it. Faith defends herself from the guards but Wes gets the worst of it. She grabs him and jumps out the window, landing on a car. Faith shakes the fall off, checks on Wes who is, �five by five.� Both quickly run.
Act III:
On the road back, Faith changes her clothes in the back of Wesley�s SUV, and he helps her catch up. Angel has a teenage son, Cordy spent the summer as a divine being, the new crew additions and the sun was blotted out by the Beast. One good thing is that the police are too busy to worry about an escapee. They need to get Angelus but the ex-evil slayer makes it clear that she is not killing him because Angel never gave up on her. He stops the car and they are attacked by three vamps. Faith dusts two but not the third since it runs realizing he�s not going up against a slayer. Faith is back in the game.
At the Hyperion, the crew is surprised when Wes arrives with Faith in tow but Cordy is not one bit welcoming pointing out that she should be in jail. Faith gets down to business and picks Gunn and Connor to join their retrieval party. She makes it clear that Angel is not to be killed. Connor reacts against her take charge attitude but she puts him in his place. He seems to like it and Cordy notices it with a scowl on her face.
In an unrecognizable part of Los Angeles, a girl is chased by vampires but Angelus saves her. He turns vamp but before he can make her a meal he overhears a few vamps talking about the slayer being in town, word gets around fast in the demon deadvine. He lets her go and seconds later finds a phone booth and calls Sunnydale. Dawn answers and she confirms that her sister is at home. Angelus hangs up and concludes, �It�s the other one.�
In an alley, Connor�s exceptional tracking skills have led Wes, Gunn and Faith to a spot that was just visited by Angelus. The alley is dark and Faith guides them through it but a surprise vamp is dusted by Connor. Faith is upset that he disobeyed her orders and tells him to go back. They scuffle and she once again puts him in his place with her super strength. Connor finally yields and is escorted by Gunn to the hotel.
Minutes later, Wes and Faith continue their hunt and they step into a warehouse to find a �Welcome Faith� banner from Angelus. She goes up on the roof while Wes continues on the ground. Wes is quickly attacked by Angelus�s two self-proclaimed lackeys.
Up on the roof of the warehouse, Faith jumps inside through a hole in the roof and she hears Angelus�s voice. He leads her to a spot surrounded my boxes and barrels and finally meets eye to eye with Angelus. He introduces her to the Beast. It�s pretty obvious this is a trap made especially for her.
Act IV:
At the warehouse, the Beast is annoyed at Angelus�s little surprise. Faith does what she does best – fight evil. She attacks with punches and spin kicks with all her strength but she is no match. The Beast sends her flying through the air into a large wooden box.
Meanwhile, outside the vampires continue their assault on Wesley who defends himself successfully.
Faith is fighting a losing battle despite all her efforts and slayer-powers. The Beast slams her against the floor with a loud thump several times like a rag doll. She is bleeding and hurt.
Angelus steps in having enjoyed his manipulation of all present enough. He stabs the Beast from behind with his own knife. Painfully, the Beast releases all its energy and returns it to the sun, which lifts the darkness over the city.
Outside, the sun shines beautifully and Wesley�s attackers catch on fire.
Inside the warehouse, the Beast is now a pile of lava. Angelus thinks he�s finally in for some prime slayer blood but our girl uses a chain hitch to break a window bathing her in sunlight. Angelus congratulates her and walks away, perhaps another day he can have her.
At the Hyperion, the crew is celebrating, eyeing the sun from the courtyard. Gunn is finally impressed with Faith who hasn�t returned yet. Cordy is still upstairs resting in her room and Connor runs up to share the good news.
In Cordy�s bedroom, Connor is brimming with happiness at Faith�s abilities, the first slayer he has met. But, Cordy has other news, and places his hand over her belly to reveal that they are going to be parents. Connor is stunned. She whispers, �We�re connected now,� and she kisses him. �You and me forever� and they fall back on the bed with more kisses.
