ISSUE 4 SUMMARY
The issue begins with the demons fighting Angel and Faith. Nash says that he has already killed 50 slayers and killing Faith won't be any fun anymore, just boring. Angel attacks Pearl and bites her, and her brother stops fighting Faith in order to help his sister. Faith probably gets the chance and puts one of the 2 Mohra jars she holds inside Nash's pocket, and she tells to the crowd that he has the last of the Mohra blood. The crowd attacks the demonic siblings and Faith with Angel get the chance to escape the fight. Faith notices that Fraser is running for the door instead, suggesting to Angel they should do the same. But Angel smells something in the basement and decides that this is the chance to see what more Fraser is keeping and hiding as a secret.
As they are heading downstairs, we get a look into Faith's thoughts. She wonders if she can trust him, she wonders whether she should make him human right now using the jar she has in her hands, wondering what will happen if Perl and Nash attack human!Angel, realizing that they will probably kill him, but at the end she makes the choice to use the blood to turn Angel into human. But right before she does it, surprise!
They find a room full of monsters! Realizing that those monsters are just the people who had paid to buy the Mohra blood and use it to heal themselves, they are the people that were missing from last issue's investigation that Faith and Angel had done. Because of the breaking of the seed, the Mohra blood keeps on regenerating the cells, getting to the people that use it a kind of cancer. Faith shocked lets the last jar of blood drop and get smashed on the floor. Then a monster talks informing them that they hurt very much and what they live is a torture. They have been keeping the monsters inside the basement trying to find a cure, but nothing works and it only gets worst. The monster tells them that they tried to kill themselves and each other, but they keep on healing and asks for Angel's and Faith's help to end their misery. But Angel asks for their help first.
And what's that help? Meanwhile upstairs, Nash and Perl are enjoying the fight and basically are winning it. So the monsters go upstairs informing everyone how the blood works, and the crowd gets uninterested in the blood now. Pear and Nash leave when they realize they came for nothing informing Angel that this isn't over and that they'll be back. Faith thinks it's a trick and they'll be back soon, but Angel believes that they have wasted too much energy already. A monster attacks and Angel beheads it and kills it. He informs that separating the head from the body is the only thing that will stop the regenerating part, and the monsters ask them to kill them and do it fast. So Angel and Faith kill all the human!monsters releasing them from their misery. Angel tells Faith that he will keep on trying to find another way to bring back Giles and they leave.
Next we see Perl and Nash arriving to Whistler's place. They inform him that they found Angel, but the reason they left was because Faith put the jar inside his pocket and they were afraid of breaking it. Happily they inform Whistler that things are much better than they had imagined, since the blood now without magic works differently since it's more lethal than anything right now.
Next morning Faith meets Nadira in a park, informing her that Perl and Nash are in England and that she'll make sure they will pay for what they did. Nadira happily gives her a hug, telling her that she finally will get a chance to make things right and kill them and then Angel so she can finally get some peace. As Faith leaves the park she meets Alasdair again. He tells her that he has heard what happened with the blood and asks her if she has consider what he has told her. Faith gets angry and tells him that all she does is lie to people she cares about, just like she has done in her past. Alasdair replies that he knows nothing of Faith's past, bit it's up to her judgment to dissuade Angel from his mad plan. As Faith leaves him, she mentions that it was her judgment that almost got Angel killed the previous night.
Faith returns home finding Angel doing research reading books. She comments on the fact that Angel wears glasses, and she thought that vampires don't need them. Angel tries to justify it saying that if you needed them before you need them afterwards (but it is the first time ever that we see Angel wearing glasses while reading, although he have seen him plenty of times reading!). He also adds that he has found another way to bring back the dead. A Sadhu in 1764 claimed that he had restored a physical body from its ashes. So Faith gets the chance to tell him that she is on his side, but one of the things that were made clear even by Giles was that you can't bring someone back from the dead after a natural death. And she warns Angel that if he crosses the lines, she will stop him whatever it takes. Surprisingly Angel says that he knows and that this is the reason why he has asked for her help. He gets obsessed too often and the last thing that Giles would want would be to bring him back by hurting other people. But that is exactly what Angel didn't have while he was Twilight. Somebody who knew him, who had seen the best and worst of him and somebody who could tell him when he was going too far and he was crossing the lines. Somebody to stop him when he couldn't stop himself. So Angel asks again Faith's help, and she promises to watch his back. Then Faith heads to the kitchen, she's hungry, and she asks Angel if he wants some blood. But Angel tells her that he doesn't and that he prefers some tea (in a panel where we see him reading a book wearing his glasses reminding us more and more of Giles). Faith doesn't notice it at the beginning but when she mentions that he sounded "just like him" she kind of gets suspicious of something going on. But she says "Never mind. Earl gray coming up".
