Working Vamp

In Angel's office, Angel, Wesley, and Gunn are chatting with the demons. Angry growls and clicks come from the speakerphone, and Gunn explains that the demons are upset. Thanks. Do you think he's just bluffing about knowing demon languages? Angel instructs Gunn to say that the summit is still on. While that's going on, we see that Harmony is lurking in the office as well. Through the miracle of captions, the demons insist, "Killer must be found! Killer must be punished!" Gunn assures the demons that they'll take care of it. Angel chimes in with some tongue-clicks of his own, which are translated as "Be disemboweled!" The demons are incensed, and call Angel a "filthy man whore." Hee. Gunn quickly calms them down by saying, "He meant 'be patient.' The whore man is a novice in your tongue and makes foolish errors. We make fun of him, yes?" Heh. Gunn hangs up the phone, and Wesley asks what happened. Angel admits that he made a mistake, and Harmony cheerfully says, "Forgive and forget, I say!" Gunn says that the demons won't be doing either, and Angel agrees that they have to solve Toby's murder. He adds that Fred should have some information for them once the body gets to the lab. Harmony asks, "Our lab?" and exits. I ask, "Fred's a medical examiner now?" I'm not sure why I'm surprised by that. Maybe I'm just surprised that Gunn isn't one. Yet.

Sure enough, down in the lab, Fred is checking out the body and making notes like "significant postmortem battering suggests a prior relationship with the victim." She also reports that the "consulting coroner" (Fred needs a consultant? I'm shocked at her incompetence) estimates the time of death as "approximately" 1:30 AM. Yeah, "approximately." Fred spots Harmony, and instantly asks if Angel sent Harmony to hurry up the autopsy. Only she uses more words than that. Harmony plays along and tries to find out what Fred has learned. Then Harmony asks, "Don't you think it's possible that whoever did could have blacked out, and doesn't even remember doing it, so it's totally not their [sic] fault?" Fred just says, "I guess," instead of being suspicious, because after all, she's a coroner, not a psychologist. Fred mentions that she enjoyed going out with Harmony, and then measures the bite marks, and says they indicate that the vampire was female. Harmony blurts, "Or gay!" but Fred says it doesn't work that way. Fred asks if Harmony wants to get together again, but Harmony says she's busy. Fred suddenly looks deeply concerned and asks, "Is there something you want to tell me?" Harmony stammers, but of course it's just a fake-out, because Fred is actually what happened with the guy at the bar in an incredibly unnatural way. Harmony chuckles, "Loser! Big. Told me he was an astronaut!" Fred and Harmony share a giggle, and then Harmony exits.
