Angel to Bethany, a runaway teen who possesses barely

Plot
Lilah sneaks into Lindsey's office to rifle though his papers, but Darla is there. Darla reveals she has been using a drug called Calynthia powder to keep Angel asleep while she manipulates his dreams. Angel wakes to find Cordelia and Wesley bickering about whether they should offer to pay Gunn. Angel and Wesley begin to discuss Angel's sleeping habits, but Cordelia suddenly gets a vision that sends Angel out to save a young girl from two potential rapists. As two men are about to attack the girl, she telekinetically slides a dumpster across the alleyway and smashes the men against a wall.At the crime scene, Angel pretends to be a
detective in order to get information about the crime from an
officer. He wanders inside an old building and finds the young girl
from the alley. Scared, she sends a rebar through Angel's chest,
although upon realizing that she didn't kill him, she seems a
little less afraid. The girl returns to the apartment she's staying
at, revealing her roommate to be Lilah. Gunn arrives
to offer his help and Angel sends him out to find information on
the men Bethany hurt.
As Bethany drifts to sleep, she dreams of her
abusive childhood and unintentionally sends a bedside lamp flying
into Lilah, who was watching her fitful sleep. Bethany seeks
Angel's help and they discuss her lack of control over her
telekinetic powers. Holland
stresses that if Lilah's work with Bethany is unsuccessful it could
damage their other projects. Wesley deduces that Bethany has been
sexually abused; when he pointedly mentions her father she loses
control, sending both him and Angel flying through the air.
That night, Bethany finds Angel in his bed and
she offers herself to him, as the abuse she has suffered has led
her to believe that she is just an object for use. He declines, and
after they talk, he sends her back to her own bed. After Angel
helps Bethany work to control her power, he meets Gunn at one of
the potential rapists' apartment. He brings up the payment idea and
Gunn agrees, meaning that Gunn is now officially part of Angel
Investigations. They find evidence that someone paid for the
attack on Bethany.
Cordelia talks to Bethany over lattes until she
is kidnapped by Wolfram & Hart's men. Angel and Gunn go after
the men and Angel is able to get Bethany back from them. At the
hotel, Bethany's father is used as a weapon to set her off and, as
her control breaks, she causes serious structural damage to the
building and hurls her father out of a window. Eventually, Bethany
is able to control her power and keep from hurting anyone
seriously. Later, she packs up her things in the apartment while
Lilah and Angel have a chat on the doorstep. Angel comments that
Lilah needs to find someone else's mind to play with, and as he
leaves with Bethany, Lilah mutters that they already have,
referring to him and Darla.
Production details
The shot in which Bethany telekinetically explodes every window in the hotel was done using special effects, says production designer Stuart Blatt. The Angel production department built a set matching the superficial layout of the outside of the hotel, and filmed a window of the set exploding. The visual effects designer took that image and tiled it over the intact windows: "Through the magic of digital medium." Blatt says, "[we] created a whole wall of the hotel exploding."Acting
