(episode written by David Fury, directed by James A Contner)

Angel is sat alone in his office, in the dark. The light goes on and Doyle enters the room. He tries to persuade Angel to go out, have some fun. That maybe the three of them could go to a club or something. Angel tells Doyle that if he wants to ask Cordelia out, he should just ask. Cordelia enters the room with a box of business cards. Neither Angel or Doyle realise that the picture on the card is supposed to be an angel. Cordelia lightly hits Doyle, just as he starts a vision. He sees a nightclub, sort of eighties style, he thinks he knows the one.

Sat at the bar in the club is a blonde girl, Sharon. A man goes over to her and starts a coversation. He say's he hates places like this, she agrees. His name is Kevin. They talk about everything falling into place with relationships. What if you didn't go to these places and missed the 'perfect' partner?

Angel, Cordy and Doyle arrive and they decide to split up and look around to see if they can find someone in trouble. Cordelia is handing out business cards to people, but Doyle stops her, pointing out that they are still not licenced so they could get into trouble.

Angel heads over towards the bar. There is a blonde lady sat there, her name is Kate. They have an awkward greeting and start to talk. He asks her if she is in trouble and needs help... as the coversation proceeds she asks what he does for a living, so he says he's a 'vetinarian'.

Doyle and Cordy have gone over to another part of the bar and Cordelia is telling Doyle everyones life story based on her observations. Sharon and Kevin are leaving the club. A man comes over and starts to talk to Cordy...

Angel and Kate are talking about making a connection, and Kate asks if Angel wants to go somewhere a little quieter. Angel says no..

The man trying to 'chat up' Cordy gets a bit aggitated by Cordy's apparent disinterest, and Doyles intervention. He accuses Cordelia of being a prostitute and Doyle of being her pimp. Doyle looses his temper and hits him. His friend joins in and they start to beat up Doyle. Angel comes over and intervenes, ending the fight. The barman throws out the two men, who are always causing trouble.

When everyone starts to carry on with what they were doing a woman comes over to Angel and starts to chat him up. Kate sees this and leaves.

Sharon and Kevin are in bed. She says she should go, but Kevin asks her not to. She should stay a little while longer, just for a cuddle. He puts his arm around her and cuddles close to her back...

The nightclub is now virtually empty, and the gang are sat at a table, discussing the lack of anything actually happening. What were they supposed to be doing? The barman comes over and asks them to leave so that he can lock up.

Kevin is lying on the bed, dead. Sharon is getting dressed....

Cordelia is sat at the computer in the office, trying to get some information off the internet. Angel is stood beside her. He tells her what to type in, but she can't spell it. Doyle comes over and takes over the research. They discover a number of cases of people being 'viserated' and it appears to be linked to the bar. Doyle and Cordelia start to look up 'viserating' demons and Angel heads back to the bar.

As Angel reaches the entrance of the bar he bumps into Kate. He apologises for going off and leaving her the previous evening. He tries to persuade her not to go into the bar, but she is suspicious. She asks where he is going, and when he answers 'into the bar' she tells him to go to hell and goes inside. Angel replies to himself 'been there, done that' and follows her into the bar.

Sharon is chatting up a 'geeky' guy at the bar. He says he was a 'spaz' and a 'geek' at high school, but Sharon assures him that's not the case now... they leave the bar.

A friend of Kevin's comes over to the bar and asks the bartender if he's seen him. He says not that night, but that he was with Sharon the previous night. When they look to the end of the bar where she was sat, they are gone. Angel asks if he knows her surname, he does. Angel goes to the phone booth outside and looks up her address in the phone book.

Sharon and the 'geek' are in bed. Sharon wants a cuddle so asks him to roll over. She cuddles close to his back... something bursts out of her chest and enters the 'geeks' back....

Angel comes in and finds the body. He sees the 'viserating demon' finish entering the new host. Angel challenges him. The demon says the the new host is new and different, but it's not the one, he'll have to find another soon... they start to fight, the demon alot stronger than he looks. Angel puts on his vampire face as the fight continues and is thrown into the corner of the room... the demon disappears... Kate enters the room, with gun and badge, and sees the body. Angel un-vamps to face her. She accuses him of the murder. He says it's not what it looks like, he was trying to stop another death. She asks if he's a private investigator, and he answers 'more or less'. She then asks to see his licence, and he responds that's the 'less part'. Kate isn't convinced and tries to arrest him. He fights her off and jumps out of the window... the demon is sat on the ledge just out of sight...

Angel instructs Cordelia and Doyle to go over to Cordelia's, in case the detective goes to the offices. Her appartment is a 'tip', but Doyle kind of likes it... Angel turns up, hurt, and fills them in on what he knows, including Kate being a police detective. He tells them that the demon is some kind of burrower and to continue with their research, he heads back to the bar.

Detective Lockley breaks into Angel Investigations and snoops around...

The demon has moved on to a new host...

Angel gets back to Cordelia's at dawn, with no luck tracking down the demon. The research has uncovered that the demon can be harmed by fire. Angel decides to phone Kate and arranges to meet her at the bar that evening. She tells the bar tender she's a cop, and asks him to let her know if he spots Angel. The bar tender comes back over to her and says he's out back, and looking as if he's going to leave. Kate goes out back, but Angel isn't there. The bar tender attacks her, knocking her partly unconscious, and lifts up the back of her blouse. He moves close to her, and his chest opens up. Before the demon can harm Kate, Angel intervenes and attacks the demon. They fight while a surprised and slightly dazed Kate looks on. The demon throws them both down into a cellar room, and goes in search of a new host. The demon has blood on his shirt, and the skin on his forehead is coming away. No-one wants to connect with him...

Angel tries to reach a high up window, using a rope and claw he just happens to have handy, but the beam by the window is rotten and collapses as he pulls on the rope. Kate takes out her gun and shoots the lock off the door. They head up into the bar to find the bar tender. He has headed out of the bar and grabs a young lady off the street and drags her into an alleyway. Angel follows him and they start to fight. Some homeless people look on, huddled around their bin fire. Angel manages to push the demon towards the fire and he catches light, but Angel is injured and struggles to get to his feet to back away as the demon staggers towards him. A number of shots are fired from the other end of the alleyway, and the demon falls to the ground, just short of where Angel is lying. Kate is stood at the end of the alley.

A recovered Angel heads over towards Detective Lockley, who is talking to one of her colleagues. There are ambulances and police cars lighting up the area. Kate is happy that the bar tender was the killer, unaware of the demon that had occupied him. She thanks Angel for saving her life, and owns up to searching his apartment earlier. A colleague calls her over, she turns to acknowledge him, and when she turns back, Angel has gone...
