Conviction (Angel episode)
Encyclopedia : C : CO : CON : Conviction (Angel episode)
Summary
After settling into his new office at Wolfram & Hart, C.E.O. Angel and the group try to come to terms with their new lifestyle. Angel is not too pleased with the new addition to his staff: the ditzy blond vampire Harmony Kendall as his secretary and personal assistant. On the first day, Angel meets a mysterious young woman, named Eve, who claims that she is the new liaison between him and the Senior Partners. She explains that from now on, in order for him to do good in L.A., he will have to be prepared to do some bad too.
This issue is put to the test when Angel is forced to prevent an unsavory, violent gangster from going to jail when the criminal threatens to drop a chemical warfare virus that could ultimately destroy California.
Meanwhile, Gunn impresses a court full of people, when it is revealed that Wolfram & Hart have bestowed him with a vast knowledge of the law. Also, Fred has set up her own working lab with her partner, Knox, as her right-hand man.
