-->'''Penn:''' “Well, you were right about one thing, Angelus. The last 200 years has been about me sticking it to my father. But I’ve come to realize something –- it’s you! (He jumps up and kicks Angel in the stomach) You made me! (Kicks him in the face, then double fists him a couple of times) You taught me! (Angel drops to the floor and Penn jumps on his back) You approved of me in ways my mortal father never did! You are my real father, Angelus.”
-->'''Angel:''' (Gets up, holding Penn up above his head) “Fine! (Slams him into the ground) You’re grounded.”

* DoYouTrustMeDoYouTrustMe: Angel asks Kate if she trusts him before handing over information on a SerialKiller without revealing the source. Kate doesn't hesitate to say that she does trust Angel; brutally subverted in that after discovering that Angel is a vampire (and digging up Angelus' history) she never fully trusts him again.

* MistakenForMurderer

to:

* MistakenForMurdererIResembleThatRemark: PlayedForDrama when Kate gives a profile of the man they're looking for at a police briefing, which is crosscut with a montage of Angel walking the streets -- needless to say the profile fits Angel perfectly.
* MistakenForMurderer: By Wesley and Cordelia, though actually averted with the police; by the time Kate finds out Angel is a vampire she already knows he's not the killer -- not that she's any more trusting.
