Wolfram & Hart gave Lindsey McDonald a new hand. The hand has opinions of its own. This is fine.

This week on Re-Watcher's Council, we're covering Angel Season 2, Episode 18: "Dead End" — the one where the world's most reluctant buddy cop duo finally hits the road together. Angel and Lindsey teaming up is everything you didn't know you needed, and the reason they have to work together is genuinely horrifying: Cordelia's visions lead the gang to a Wolfram & Hart body shop harvesting live humans for parts. Dark, even by this show's standards.

But it's not all doom and body snatching. There's Lindsey absolutely mesmerizing the entire Caritas crowd with his guitar (Angel's reaction alone is worth the price of admission), the slow rebuild of Angel and Cordelia's friendship hitting one of its sweetest moments, and one of the best exit scenes in the whole series as Lindsey finally hits his limit with Wolfram & Hart and heads for the door. Oh, and Angel's parting gift to him is perfect.

We also dig into what this episode sets up for the road ahead — the visions are starting to take a serious physical toll on Cordelia, Wesley is quietly wrestling with the weight of leadership, and the Pylea arc is right around the corner.
