Written and directed by David Greenwalt, it was the Season One finale, and originally broadcast on May 23, 2000 on the WB network.
In this episode, Wolfram & Hart lawyers send a demon named Vocah to reclaim the mystical scroll Angel stole from them, which is needed to raise the Beast.
Angel eventually takes back the scroll (by severing Lindsey's hand) but fails to prevent the ritual in time.
Meanwhile, Wesley translates the Shanshu Prophecy, and discovers that it means Angel will become human, after he fulfills his destiny.
Kate arrives on the scene after Angel has defeated it, and declares she is determined to rid the city of vampires.
Kate confronts Angel, but with his friends in serious condition, he refuses to take any of her hostile attitude toward him and goes with Wesley to the hospital.
Refusing to leave his friends unprotected again, Angel asks Gunn to stand guard at the hospital while he goes to hunt down Vocah.
Lindsey tells Angel that the key to defeating the vampire with a soul is to cut off his connections to the Powers That Be and starts to burn the scroll.
