Having left Sunnydale and his true love behind, we pick up with our hero where we previously left off: a depressed, lonely Angel [[DrowningMySorrows getting hammered in a bar]]. After saving some pool-playing women from their dates (who turn out to be vampires, natch), a sullen Angel returns to his underground lair beneath an office complex. A man appears behind him, complimenting the "[[{{Batman}} batcave]]" decorum. This fellow is Doyle, a [[MagicalNegro magical Irishman]] sent by the PowersThatBe. Doyle's here to enlist Angel in the good fight. Angel retorts that he's got it covered. Doyle warns that Angel is so cut off from humanity that his demon-slaying will only lead to apathy towards people. Furthermore, unless Angel does something to remedy this, he'll start to prey on humans again. Doyle hands Angel a note regarding his latest vision, that of a waitress in imminent peril. Angel agrees to look into it.

** DeletedScene: In the original script, the scene in which Angel finds Tina's dead body ends with him cradling her, then licking her blood from his fingers. Although creator Joss Whedon claims that moment was his favorite moment in the script, it was removed at the risk of [[DarknessInducedAudienceApathy DIAA]]. You can see Boreanaz about to taste the blood, but it fades out just in time.
