'Sense and Sensitivity' Story Code '1ADH06' by Tim Minear

Kate turns up at Angel investigations, and asks Angel for his help in tracking down a suspect. She later talks to her father, also a police officer, about his up-coming retirement. Angel dresses up as tourist to keep an eye on Little Tony, Kate’s suspect, but his cover is blown; Kate arrives in time to arrest Little Tony. While the Precinct is celebrating the villain’s arrest, Kate discovers that they have all been ordered to attend sensitivity training. While the officers undergo their first session of training, Angel and Doyle discover that plans have been made to have Kate killed. Angel heads for the retirement party to warn her, only to find that she is acting much more sensitively than normal. Elsewhere, the Sensitivity Trainer talks to a lawyer from the company Wolfram and Hart, and promises that there will be dramatic changes. At the party, everyone becomes increasingly sensitive; they begin crying, but this soon turns into fighting. Angel manages to get Kate out before she can be harm, and while Doyle and Cordelia watch her, Angel goes after the Sensitivity Trainer. However, Kate manages to escape from Doyle and Cordelia, and goes looking for her dad. A police officer lets all of the inmates out, but they are too overly-emotional to do anything about them, and the convicts are soon armed. Angel, Cordelia and Doyle arrive at the station at the same time, and Angel surprises them by giving them a giant hug. He tells them that he touched a cursed training stick that belonged to the Sensitivity Trainer. They break a window in order to let the police officers out, but then Little Tony appears, holding a gun to Kate’s head. Angel is able to overpower the criminal, and then he and Kate share a hug. The following day, the police station has been cleared up, and the officers act as if nothing untoward ever happened.
