TEXT: Doyle: "You had the one thing in your unnaturally long life and you gave it back?" Angel: "You never know your strength until you're tested." Cordy: "I mean what's with those vision things of yours?" Doyle: "Well, they're messages I get from the Higher Powers, you know, it's my gift." Cordy: "If that was my gift, I'd return it." Angel: "If I pull the cables, I think I can still shut it off." Cordy: "Angel, that's suicide!" Doyle: "The good fight, yeah? You never know until you've been tested, I get that now. (knocks Angel of the platform, a blue light glows between their lips as he kisses Cordy, goes demon face) Too bad we'll never know if this is a face you could learn to love." Doyle jumps over to pull the lights apart on the light bomb while the flesh starts to melt off his body.

SUMMARY:
Still reeling from Doyle's death just days ago, Angel and Cordelia encounter an old friend from Sunnydale, Buffy's former Watcher, Wesley Wyndam-Pryce, now a demon hunter. Meanwhile, Cordelia discovers that Doyle has passed on his gift of visions from The Powers That Be, which subject her to the same unbearable headaches that afflicted Doyle. When one of Angel's clients, a black-marketeer demon named Barney, learns of Cordelia's new powers, he abducts her and auctions off her "seer's eyes" to a group of wealthy demons and humans, including a representative from Wolfram & Hart. Wesley assists Angel in Cordy's rescue and effectively-if unofficially-joins the Angel Investigations team.
