Angel Cast

Things are not going well at Angel Investigations, but Doyle receives a vision of a young woman named Melissa. Angel visits her to see if she is in need of his help, and gives his business card. Later, Melissa’s ex-boyfriend, Ronald, pays her a visit, and this scares her enough to give Angel a call. Melissa tells the team that Ronald has been stalking her for seven months, ever since she ended their relationship, and she always feels that he is watching her. That evening, Melissa watched by one of Ronald’s disembodied eyes, while he himself sits in his office. The next day, Doyle follows Melissa while Angel breaks into Ronald’s office to look for clues; however, he is caught by Ronald, and has to come up with a fake story to explain his actions. Angel visits one Doctor Miltser, who tells Angel that Ronald was able to master a combination of many physical and psychological talents. Ronald sends his hands into Melissa’s house, but the woman sees them; her screams are heard by a policeman, but when he investigates, Ronald’s hands strangle him to death. At Angels’ apartment, Cordelia and Doyle keep watch over Melissa; they believe that they have covered up every possible entrance, but Ronald’s hands and eye are able to get in via the sewer. The body parts attack Cordelia, and then pull Doyle down into the sewer. Melissa wakes up to find Ronald in the apartment, but Angel arrives in time to save her by, beheading Ronald in the process. The next day, Angel Investigations receives its first ever paycheck from a grateful Melissa.
