| - Angel rushes to the scene and sees a pregnant woman walking about. She is startled by Angel, who is equally-startled by the Prio demon appearing. A fight ensues and Angel breaks the demon's neck. Angel gallantly reassures the woman that's it's dead - and is stunned when she starts to cry and kneels by the dead Prio's body. Whoops. Angel realizes his mistake. She mentions a tribunal, but when Angel tries to help her, the woman storms off. Angel tracks down Merl, whom he suspects was being less than forthcoming. Merl sings like a canary: There's a price on the woman's head -- or, more specifically, the baby she's carrying. The baby girl is prophesied to be a big deal, and the dark ones want her dead. Merl tells Angel the Prio lived in the L.A. subtunnels. Once there, Angel finds an odd metal disc hidden in a secret compartment of a wooden box. Angel tells Gunn to deliver it to Cordy and Wes. He hears a noise and pulls out a samurai sword... on the pregnant woman. She explains that she needs to find the coat of arms and present it to an other-worldly court known as The Tribunal -- maybe she'll have a chance and The Tribunal will protect her unborn baby. A cloud casts over Angel's face as he listens to the woman's description of the talisman: a metal disc. Foiled again! Having lost her temper with Angel, the woman tries to leave but is waylaid by a mob of bounty hunters. Angel tells her to go to the address on his business card. She runs out and Angel stays to fight off the demons. When Angel returns to Cordelia's, he expects the pregnant woman to be there already, and becomes distraught when she's not there. Angel admits that he let the Shanshu Prophecy goes to his head. Wes comes in with the background information. It's a medieval coat of arms to be presented before a court that settles grievances with a fight to the death. Wesley points out that this court is mystical, and can materialize anywhere. Have gavel, will travel. And at Caritas, presenting: Angel, the Vampire With Soul! Angel looks as pained as those watching him belt out an off-key version of "Mandy". The Host pulls him aside and starts to read him: Angel made an honest mistake, he says, but things don't look too good for the expectant mother, who is waddling down the street when The Tribunal rises from out of nowhere. A knight rides up before the tribunal and throws the coat of arms on the ground as a challenge. The woman asks for asylum and is refused by the tribunal; she's got no coat of arms, and no champion, so she's out of luck. Just then, the other metal badge is thrown on the ground. Angel declares himself her champion. He mounts the horse and arms himself with a shield and a lance. Both champions joust with each other until Angel is thrown off his horse. Angel uses his sword to pull the knight onto the ground, where they duel. A sword plunges into Angel and he falls on his knees. The tribunal declares the knight the victor. The knight is about to kill her when Angel removes the sword and cuts off the knight's head. The Tribunal overlook this poor bit of sportsmanship and declare that both she and her daughter are now under their protection. At Cordy's apartment, the whiteboard is being mothballed by Angel. Wes realizes that it's about doing the job, not keeping score. Angel says he has somewhere to go: the women's penitentiary. In the visitor's room, Angel picks up the phone and on the other side of the glass, Faith picks up hers. Both Angel and Faith reflect on their rocky road to redemption, and whether or not they'll ever make up for their previous indiscretions.
