Untouched is the fourth episode of the
[second season](/wiki/Angel_season_2) of [Angel](/wiki/Angel_(series)) and the twenty-sixth episode in the series. Written by [Mere Smith](/wiki/Mere_Smith) and directed by [Joss Whedon](/wiki/Joss_Whedon), it was originally broadcast on October 17, [2000](/wiki/2000), on [The WB](/wiki/The_WB) network.
Synopsis
SLEEP TIGHT —
[Angel](/wiki/Angel) unknowingly crosses paths with [Wolfram & Hart](/wiki/Wolfram_%26_Hart) when he comes to the aid of a young woman, [Bethany](/wiki/Bethany), who possesses [telekinetic](/wiki/Telekinesis) powers far beyond her control, a situation Angel has had to contend with in his own life.
Meanwhile, Angel is somewhat off his game due to the fact that he has been sleeping weird, but has no idea his fitful nights are the result of nocturnal visits by [Darla](/wiki/Darla). [[1]](#cite_note-1)
Summary
[Lilah](/wiki/Lilah_Morgan) sneaks into [Lindsey](/wiki/Lindsey_McDonald)s office to rifle though his papers. Darla makes her presence known and reveals she has been using a drug called [Calynthia powder](/wiki/Calynthia_powder) to keep Angel asleep while she manipulates his dreams.
Angel wakes to find
[Cordelia](/wiki/Cordelia_Chase) and [Wesley](/wiki/Wesley_Wyndam-Pryce) bickering about whether they should offer to pay [Gunn](/wiki/Charles_Gunn) for helping them fight demons. As Wesley and Angel discuss the [vampire](/wiki/Vampire)s sleeping habits, Cordelia suddenly gets [visions](/wiki/Visions) that send Angel out after a young woman from two [men](/wiki/Human) trying to attack her. As the men are about to make their move, she telekinetically slides a dumpster across the alleyway and uses it to crush them against the wall.
At the crime scene, Angel pretends to be a detective to get information about the crime from
[an officer](/wiki/Landers). He wanders inside an old building and finds the woman from the alley.
Panicked, she sends a rebar through Angels chest. Realizing she did not kill him, she relaxes enough to let him talk to her. She is unwilling to give much information and warns him to stay away. Before the woman leaves, Angel gives her his card. The woman returns to the apartment where she is staying: [Lilahs](/wiki/Lilah_Morgan%27s_apartment).
Gunn stops by
[Angel Investigations](/wiki/Angel_Investigations) to offer his help, and Angel sends him out to find information on the men Bethany killed.
As Bethany drifts off to sleep, she dreams of her abusive childhood and sends a bedside lamp flying. It hits Lilah, who had been watching her fitful sleep. Lilah pleads with her to stay, but Bethany flees the apartment realizing she hurt another person with her powers. Bethany seeks Angels help at the
[Hyperion Hotel](/wiki/Hyperion_Hotel), and they discuss how she cannot control her telekinesis.
At
[Wolfram & Hart](/wiki/Wolfram_%26_Hart_Los_Angeles_branch), Holland and Lilah discuss Bethany - she is Lilahs discovery and they have been grooming her to become an assassin for Wolfram & Hart. It is revealed the firm is responsible for the alley attack as a way of testing her telekinetic abilities.
Holland tells Lilah that her failure in grooming Bethany could damage their other projects.
After Cordelia warns Wesley about Bethanys strange behavior, Wesley realizes her powers have arisen from having been sexually abused by her father. He then approaches Bethany and offhandedly mentions her father, thus causing her to lose control and hurl he and Angel through the air.
That night, Bethany finds Angel in his bed and offers to have sex with him; the abuse she has suffered has led her to believe that she is just an object for mens amusement. Angel declines and assures Bethany all men arent like that. He then sends her back to her own bed. This conversation is shown to have interrupted Darlas attempts to manipulate Angels dream as she hides in the dark corner and watches Angel send Bethany away. When Holland hears of this, he orders Lilah to get Bethany away from Angel.
After Angel helps Bethany attempt to control her powers, he meets Gunn at one of the attackers apartment. Angel brings up the idea of paying Gunn for his services and he readily agrees. Gunn is now officially part of Angel Investigations. They eventually find evidence that the attempted rapist works for Wolfram & Hart.
Cordelia talks to Bethany over coffee, trying to convince her that she is no longer just a victim. She has great power and can choose how to use it - although her choices so far have not been wise. Cordelia warns her that sex with Angel is off limits and that he is old fashioned with a different mindset than most men. Suddenly Wolfram & Harts men arrive and kidnap Bethany. Angel and Gunn go after them, eventually saving her.
Wolfram & Hart decide to increase the pressure and they send Bethanys father to intercept her. This causes her to panic, and she lets out a blast of telekinetic power. All of the windows on the hotels top floor explode and both Angel and Cordelia are thrown backwards. Bethany hurls her father out a window, stopping him from impending death just before he hits the ground. Bethany chooses not to kill her father, as she has remembered Angel and Cordelias teachings.
Later, Bethany packs up her things in the apartment while Lilah and Angel have a chat at the door. Bethany accuses Lilah of trying to kill her and tells her she no longer trusts her. Angel comments that Lilah needs to find someone elses mind to play with. As he leaves with Bethany, Lilah mutters that they already have.
