(Blend to Doyle talking to Angel) An army of pureblooded demons. A choice. Angel puts a hand on Doyle's shoulder. Angel: "Its light kills anything with human blood." But demon-hiding? Cordy: "Such as...?" Cut to Angel and Cordy watching the videotape of the commercial Doyle did at the beginning of the episode. Cut to a Scourge meeting. Doyle goes demon-faced and runs out the door knocking the soldier out of his way, then leads the Scourge down the road. Doyle: "Come on, you lived and loved and lost and fought and vanquished inside a day, and I'm still trying to work up the courage to ask Cordy out for dinner, not to mention the part about telling her that I'm half demon. He gets hit by a vision of Lucas and his clan getting killed. He reeks of humanity." I thought we agreed that secrets are bad!" Soldier: "A half-breed who murders other half-breeds. Soon only the pure bloods will be left standing." The beacon goes dark. They have a big hate-on for us mixed heritage types. They're locked from the outside. Won't it die of it's own innate mortal stupidity?

Summary: Doyle's own chance for atonement comes sooner than expected when he receives a vision that a band of part human Lister demons are trying to escape from The Scourge, an army of supremacist storm-trooper demons who claim "pure" blood and consequently persecute those of "mixed" blood. While Doyle goes after a strayed Lister teen and Cordelia handles details of the escape plan, Angel infiltrates the enemy and discovers their secret weapon, a bomb-like device called the Beacon that combusts anyone with any taint of human blood. Events lead to a climactic showdown aboard a tramp freighter, where Doyle finally confesses his half-demon heritage-and his love for her-to Cordelia. Angel attempts to sacrifice himself to destroy the Beacon as it begins to operate, but Doyle, himself a half-breed demon, knocks Angel out, kisses Cordelia, disables the Beacon, and dies from its effects. Angel and Cordelia later sadly watch the video Doyle had been making.
