Angel Season One (1999-2000)
Season 1 Plot Summary
After moving to Los Angeles, Angel is visited by an Irishman named Doyle who is half human, half Brachan demon. Doyle explains to Angel that he experiences visions from the "Powers That Be" (also referred to throughout the series as "The PTBs") of people who are in danger or in trouble and that 'The Powers' have sent him as a messenger on their behalf so that Angel can investigate these visions. While on his first investigation Angel bumps into Cordelia Chase, who has also moved to LA to escape Sunnydale and become an actress.
When Cordelia later bumps into vampire problems, Angel comes to the rescue and after that Cordelia comes up with the idea that she, Angel, and Doyle should start up a detective agency "to help the helpless but charge a fee," as she puts it.
Partway through the first season, Doyle dies, sacrificing his life to save a group of defenceless part-human demons who were being hunted down for extermination by an army of pureblooded demons. Just before he dies he passes on his dangerous visions to Cordelia, who finds the visions painful.
Wesley Wyndam-Pryce (who had a recurring role as the new Watcher in season 3 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer) then makes an appearance in the next episode and since then has become a vital part of the team and major character. At the end of Season 1 we meet Charles Gunn, a black kid who leads a gang of street vampire-stakers. Gunn become a regular and member of the team the next season.
In the final episode of Season 1, several important events occur. Wesley translates an ancient prophecy that says after that after a final battle, the vampire with a soul will live (that is, become human). Meanwhile, Wolfram & Hart try to raise some powerful creature from the dead. Angel slices off Wolfram & Hart employee Lindsey's hand, but is unable to prevent the raising of the creature. At the end of the episode we see (but Angel does not) who this creature is: Darla, Angel's ex-lover and sire who we first met in Buffy.
