Summary
Angel visits Dinza, a Goddess of the lost, who advises him that an item called the Axis of Pythia can help him find Cordelia. With Fred and Gunn, he breaks into a auction house to find the Axis, but a beautiful burglar with electrical powers seems to have had the same idea.
Plot
Angel is determined to find Cordelia. First he goes to Wesley, who tells him to ask Dinza, a demon who knows all about the lost. Dinza tells him to get a certain mystical antiquity that will help locate her. When he, Gunn and Fred go to steal it from a museum, they meet a cat burglar trying to do the same. This female burglar can conduct an electrical current through her body. She shocks Gunn when trying to escape and stops his heart. Feeling bad, she starts his heart back up again before she makes her getaway with the artifact. Angel then goes to Lilah and threatens her until she provides the name of a person who could afford to hire a professional burglar like that. He finds the burglar with the artifact and they fight. She shocks Angel and his heart starts. He immediately starts making out with her until they are trapped in a elevator by her employer. The employer is going to kill them both with gas, but they escape. She lets Angel have the artifact. Angel uses the artifact to discover that Cordelia is helping people as a higher being. Angel, Fred and Gunn are sad she’s gone. Cordelia appears in the mist again at the end and says, "What are you deficient? Get me out of here!"
Other plot points: Angel said to Wesley that he thinks they are "good" now. Wesley did not respond, but looked irritated. Wesley has his own crime-fighting gang. Wesley told Lilah that he rescued Angel because it was necessary that he fight people like her. Lilah is after Connor. Fred thinks she has too much responsibility and broke down after Gunn "died." Angel said he loves Cordelia in front of everyone. Gwen, the burglar, accidentally electrocuted a small boy at school when she was a little girl.
Dialogue
Sure. Banished to the ocean depths by your ungrateful snot of a son.
Not that she's bitter.
I never got the chance to thank you. Finding me, bringing me up. Must have been hard for you. No map, all that water.
What should I do then? Send her a gift? Sacrifice? Unholy fruit basket?
Keep it up you're gonna make me seasick.
I doubt it. I think it would have happened before now.
I know you were lost. I know all the lost things.
Really? City of Atlantis? Holy Grail? Jimmy Hoffa.
I thought I said discreet.
What? Do you see a nipple?
Yeah, but if it's an auction house can't we just, you know, e-bay it?
I'm still working on a plan, but so far it involves being sent to prison and becoming somebody's bitch.
No one's going to jail, Fred. I told you, a heist like this, I've done it a million times. Okay. Maybe twice, but I'm good at it. I swear!
Uh, you're not counting the time we stole the crazy making death shroud that nearly killed us, right?
I'm really strong, if that helps.
That's my girl, large and in charge. Okay, teensy-weensy and in charge.
Damn. This is so much harder than it looks on Batman.
Who are you?
Who are you?
I asked you first.
What are you, seven?
What I find interesting? The fact that I can smell you and Wesley all over each other.
Being dead? Gone. See anything interesting? White light? Shirley McLain?
You're alive.
You felt that? My heart...
It was beating. It doesn't, does it?
No. I thought he was yours - what with the - tonguing.
In his dreams.
Not even close.
He's gonna seal us in. Turn on the gas.
What are you, Lex Luthor?
You think higher beings get to take vacations?
The way I saw it - it felt sort of permanent.
Too bad. We could've all gone to Vegas.
What are you? Deficient? Get me out of here!
