Peace Out

"Peace Out" is the 21st episode of the fourth season of the American television series Angel.

The gang, minus Angel, are fighting Connor and his band of Jasminites in the mantis demons lair. Angel and the blue orb are in the demon world, where he has spotted a bridge to a city that holds a temple. Connor takes Wesley, Fred, Gunn, and Lorne captive announcing that he has to kill them. He says that the heroes are all alone and do not belong there. Gunn is happy not to belong since everyone else is worshipping a false god. Before Connor can kill anyone, a guard speaks in Jasmine's voice and tells him to bring the others back to the Hyperion. As Angel climbs a cliff to the temple, Jasmine thanks some of the Jasminites for being loyal followers. Connor brings in the gang and Jasmine tells them that they've caused themselves pain by abandoning her. She asks where Angel is and Wesley taunts her, saying she should know since she is omniscient. Wesley asks about the mantis demon he met in the previous episode and she compares this past world to the humans’ world. She says that when she came along, she “kicked their evolution up a few ticks,” but it obviously did not work out (also that she has a better chance in this world as it can be taken over quickly, as mass communications speed the spread of her message). She adds that Angel is wasting his time in the demon world, but Wesley says that if she really believed that, she would have killed them already. Jasmine tells a follower to tell the media that she will be down soon; Wesley realizes that she is about to beam out her “love” to everyone. Fred tries to get Connor to stop her, telling him that Jasmine will enslave everyone, but he says that she will bring everyone together. Fred says that they tried to show him what Jasmine really is; he tells her that he knows. He looks at Jasmine, and Connor sees what they have been seeing - her maggot-infested flesh. “She’s beautiful,” Connor says. Jasmine heads for her press interview, telling Connor that she will not be able to keep an eye on everyone while it is going on, so he will have to do that for her. Connor asks what Angel has gone after and Jasmine replies, “The unattainable.”

Angel reaches to the temple, where he encounters the high priest; a short, bipedal being. The priest says that Angel has come this far only to die. He calls himself “guardian of the word, caretaker of her most blessed temple” and Angel notes that there do not seem to be any other followers. The high priest is sure that Jasmine will return when she is finished with the human world. Angel tries to get the priest to say Jasmine's real name, but the priest will not say it. Angel tries to intimidate him and the priest tells him, “You can take away her power, but you’ve already lost…everything.”

Connor imprisons Wesley and company in Angelus’ cage in the basement and Wesley notes that the blood ritual did not work on Connor because he has seen Jasmine's true face all along. Connor says that appearance does not matter to him, since he grew up in Quor-toth. Fred tries to get Connor to feel badly about Cordelia; Connor tells her that Cordelia has been moved. Wesley asks Connor what Jasmine eats, since the demon called her “the devourer.” Connor denies that he knows, but Wesley has already figured out that she eats her followers. Gunn worries that Cordelia has already been eaten.

Angel demands that the priest give him Jasmine's true name, but the priest reveals that he cannot; only the Keeper of the name has it. The priest is the guardian of the word, but the guardian of the word is not the keeper of the name. The word is the name, so the priest is the guardian of the Keeper - the keeper of the Keeper. The Keeper happens to be in the corner of the room, but the priest warns that he will only speak Jasmine's real name with his last breath: the Keeper's mouth is sewn shut.

Connor heads to the banquet hall, where Jasmine is chatting with some of her followers who have no idea that they're about to be eaten. He pulls her aside and asks where she took Cordelia. Jasmine assures him that she did not eat Cordelia; Connor tries to pretend that he didn ot think that, but he is relieved. However, Jasmine will not tell him where she took Cordelia.

Angel fights the Keeper as the priest taunts him that his friends are probably dead by now, so there is no reason for Angel to try to fight for his world. The priest points out that his world does not care about him or want him, but Angel counters that it needs him. The priest says that he is actually fighting for Connor. He is going to lose his son.

The press sets up for the conference, excited to share Jasmine with the rest of the world. Connor finds a couple of followers who moved Cordelia and demands to know where she is. Back at the temple, the priest wonders why Angel keeps trying to make things right with Connor. The priest points out that Connor was only brought about to bring Jasmine into the world. “He will never love you,” the priest taunts. Angel says that it does not matter. He ducks a swing from the Keeper and the priest gets knocked into a wall instead. In the basement of the Hyperion, Gunn is kicking the cage to try to break out of it, but he is mostly just succeeding at annoying Lorne. Fred notes that Connor left them unguarded. Wesley wonders why Jasmine had Cordelia moved since the gang were the only people using her blood to turn others. He asks why Jasmine does not just kill Cordelia. Fred thinks that she canno and Wesley agrees that Jasmine is dependent on Cordelia - she cannot hurt her without hurting herself. However, Cordelia might be able to hurt Jasmine. The gang decide that they should figure out how to wake up Cordelia, though first, they will have to find her.
