Disharmony - 2ADH17
The Short: From the WB11 home page: Angel's ready to do as he's told to redeem himself with Wesley, Gunn and Cordelia, but they're not going to make it easy for him. He sits in
Wesley's office back at the hotel (the gang has returned to their old location) and listens to a lecture on how to get along with his co-workers. As Angel squirms uneasily Wesley informs him that it's going to take time. They've set up a little table as a new space for him as the
crew tells their former boss what kind of coffee they'd like. Ouch.
Later on, Angel comes downstairs to find the crew unpacking and asks Cordelia
if he can help her with a box. She informs him that even though he's
asking how she's doing, they're not friends. Double ouch. Just then,
Cordelia gets a vision and Angel catches her before she falls. Hooded
figures are attacking and kidnapping people in Lafayette Park, then she
sees a large red stone bird. Angel, Gunn and Wesley bolt out the door, but
not before Angel tells her to relax and recover from the vision. In the
park they come across one of the hoods kidnapping a woman but they rescue
her and stake the vamp.
Back at the hotel Cordelia is just getting ready to leave when she senses that
she's not alone. Guess who's come to town for a little reunion? Harmony
steps out from the shadows and it's like high school all over again.
Cordelia offers her a place to crash and they head out. Next we see them
in bathrobes laughing about old times. Harmony says she's a bit peckish
and when Cordelia leans over the grab the phone on a pizza call she vamps
out, but returns to normal before Cordelia can see her. Later that night
Cordelia is sleeping peacefully in her bed when Harmony walks in and
stares at her in obvious desire. The door slams (hi Dennis!) and Cordelia
wakes up, wondering what her old friend is up to.
After a confusing conversation where Cordelia thinks Harmony's a lesbian and
Harmony thinks she's confessing her vampire status they go back to sleep.
Cordelia then puts in an early morning phone call to Willow to complain about
not passing on the Sunnydale gossip when she's informed that Harmony's no
longer alive. Oops. Flash to Willow calling Angel to tell him that Cordelia's
got a vamp in the house. Angel and Wesley burst into the place ready to
stake Harmony, only to find them painting each other's toenails. Cordelia
says she knows the truth and trusts her friend. They head back to the
hotel to continue the kidnapping investigation.
They figure out that while a lot of kidnappings have been occurring, not a
lot of bodies have been found. Could a vampire be building a vamp army?
Cordelia discovers an online article about a motivational speaker
suspected of running a pyramid scheme using the symbol the gang found on
the robes before he disappeared. The gang is getting a tad fed up with
their resident soulless vamp when she spills her cup of pig's blood all
over the keyboard and Cordelia decides the girls should head out on the town.
Flash to Caritas, the karoake bar. Harmony sings "Memories" while Cordelia and
The Host cringe. He then explains that he can't help Harmony, that Cordelia is
her guide to the right path. The crew arrives to inform Cordelia that they
need to drive around the area where the kidnappings have been taking place
to see if she recognizes the red bird anywhere. Harmony unexpectedly tags
along, to everyone's regret. They come across the red stone bird on top of
an old theater. After much debate it's decided that Harmony should go in
and scope out the place. Just as they're about to declare that she's
betrayed them (as Angel told Cordelia she would) Harmony arrives with the
info and a back door entry. They enter the theater to discover they're
surrounded and Harmony has betrayed them after all. Fight scene. Cordelia is
in the position to kill Harmony but gives in and lets her go.
Back at the hotel Angel and Wesley are discussing how it will take Cordelia
time to forgive Angel and how Angel's ready to work on it... when there's
a scream. Cordelia throws open the office doors with her hands filled with
clothes. Angel has replaced the wardrobe he gave to the runaway teens to
win back Cordelia's affections. The shot of Cordelia and Angel bouncing up
and down in excitement shouldn't be missed.
