Angel Cast

Doyle receives a vision of a man about to be eaten by vampires. Meanwhile Cordelia goes on a date with a good-looking guy named Pierce, who then turns out to be extremely boring; however, he soon runs off when they are confronted by vampires, but luckily Doyle arrives in time to save Cordelia. The next day, Cordelia is just about to ask Doyle out when his estranged wife, Harry, arrives and demands a divorce so that she can marry another man - Richard Straley. Later, Doyle tells Angel that he did not know that he was half-demon until after he married Harry; he then asks Angel to follow Richard. Angel investigates the man, only to see him transform into a demon; thinking that he is about to attack Harry, Angel attacks Richard, but Harry stops the brawl, telling Angel that she knows Richard and his family are all demons - they are a nice clan that own a chain of restaurants. She tells Angel that it was Doyle who had a problem with the demon part of him, not her. After Doyle agrees to sign the divorce papers, Richard invites him to his bachelor party, while Harry invites Cordelia to her wedding shower. Elsewhere, Richard’s family are making preparations for the party - which actually involve eating the first husband’s brains. Harry tells Cordelia that Doyle used to be a great guy, but he freaked out when he found out about the demon part of him. Doyle takes Angel to the party, where Angel overhears some of them chanting; the vampire then calls Cordelia to get Harry to translate. However, Richard’s family promptly attack Angel and throw him out of a window; they then they lock Doyle inside a box, with only his head exposed. As Richard numbs Doyle’s head, he informs him that he is going to eat his brains to ensure his marriage to Harry is successful. After translating the chants, a horrified Harry and Cordelia rush off to the bachelor party to save Doyle. Angel manages to stop Richard’s plans, and a huge fight breaks out. Harry arrives, but Richard tells her they cannot get married unless the ritual is performed; Harry replies by giving him back his ring. The next day, at Angel Investigations, Cordelia tries to cheer Doyle up, but he receives another vision - and this time it features Buffy…
