Episode Summary |
| |
Taking over the Los Angeles offices of the supernatural law firm Wolfram and Hart proves to be more challenging than expected for Angel and the gang, especially when their first case involves representing an evil client who threatens to destroy the city. As the gang settles into their new careers at the law firm, they meet new and familiar faces, including the mysterious Eve, who will act as Angel's liaison to Wolfram and Hart's senior partners, and the bubbly vampire Harmony who is Angel's new assistant. Most surprising of all is the arrival of Angel's old nemesis and fellow vampire-with-a-soul, Spike, who makes a miraculous appearance.

Episode Quotes |
| |
Wesley: Fred?
(as the elevator doors begin to shut)
Fred: Wesley!
(Wesley holds the doors open as Fred walks out toward him)
Oh! I'm always getting turned around.
Wesley: Can I help you with any of that?
Fred: It's so big.
Wesley: It does take some getting used to.
Fred: Have you seen my lab? It's giganamous. And I'm in charge.
Wesley: I'm sure you'll have no trouble—
Fred: I don't even understand half of what they're doing. There's this machine, 6 feet tall, it makes this noise— whoompa! Whoompa! Phht! Not a clue.
Wesley: Well, I'm still stuck back at, "Why on earth are we here?"
Fred: What, because we're crusaders against evil and now the law firm that represents most of the evil in the world has given us its L.A. branch to run however we want, probably in an attempt to corrupt, divide, or destroy us, and we all said yes in, like, 3 minutes?
Wesley: Your run-on sentences have got a lot less pointless.
Fred: Oh, that's so sweet. And a tad condescending.
| Gunn: You lost, boss?
Angel: On a lot of levels. Did you hear what happened to me last night?
Gunn: You got lucky?
Angel: They put a tracer on me. I was working the town, helping the helpless, which is a thing I like to do. All of a sudden, the entire firm shows up in the alley.
| Angel: Um...can I get a cup of coffee or something?
Recording: You have reached ritual sacrifice. For goats, press one, or say "goats."
(hastily presses the button, pauses, tries again by pressing a different button)
Angel: Hello?
Woman: This is Angel's office. How can I help you?
Angel: This is Angel.
Woman: No, this is his new assistant.
Angel: No, this is Angel.
Woman: Are you sure?
Angel: Less and less. Can I get a cup of coffee? Or if there's blood—
Woman: Oh! Right away.
(Angel presses the button to hang up, but he's switched to the previous line.)
Recording: To sacrifice a loved one or pet, press the pound—
| Angel: I have no problem spanking men.
| Wesley: Spike!
Angel: Spike.
Harmony: Blondie bear!
| (To Vampire)
Angel: Doesn't sound like the lady is interested, maybe you are coming off as too needy.
| (To Fred)
Wesley: I'm still stuck on...why on Earth are we here?
| Angel: Did you hear what happened to me last night?
Gunn: You got lucky.
Angel: They put a tracer on here. I was helping the helpless since I like doing things like that.
| (To Spanky)
Angel: I have no problem spanking men.
