Wesley: Alexis Denisof., It seems the evil lawyers of Wolfram & Hart have retained the services of a blind assassin (Jennifer Badger Martin) to kill a bunch of children. When junior attorney Lindsey McDonald (Christian Kane) decides he has scruples and wants out of the firm, Angel (David Boreanaz) and company agree to assist him. Angel enlists the help of Gunn (J. August Richards) in helping Lindsey undermine the assassination plan. While breaking into Wolfram & Hart headquarters, Angel discovers and steals an ancient scroll that will figure heavily in the next episode (see “To Shanshu in L.A.”). Meanwhile, a witch hunt within the offices of Wolfram & Hart has Lindsey, who’s there as a decoy, sweating bullets. It turns out, however, that the execs are rooting out another turncoat for entertaining a job offer at a competing firm. They kill the guy and offer Lindsey the chance to remain at the firm and receive a promotion. Lindsey, who revealed his impoverished upbringing earlier in the episode, chickens out and agrees.
