Angela and her Watcher, Peter, are watching Veronique closely because Veronique sired Angela's cousin, who was also Peter's lover. Angela also has feelings for her Watcher. Angela stops Veronique's attempt to bring the Triumvirate to life, after the vampire burns down her house with Peter and valuable books in it. Veronique swears to kill Angela and they begin a dangerous cross-country cat-and-mouse game. The only things that slow them down are the sun for Veronique and Angela's need to sleep. Angela finally reaches an island called Kefi. She urges the locals to leave the island as Veronique will soon make an appearance. The locals laugh at her. One day, their number starts to diminish and their dead start to rise. Angela slays them all in front of the surviving locals. They admit their foolishness and leave the island to Angela and the vampires. Angela hunts and kills every single vampire on the island and has a final confrontation with Veronique. The vampire, who will rise in another body once slain, is not afraid. Angela mentions that if she is killed, another girl will rise to take her place. Veronique understands the similarities and starts to attack. Angela reminds Veronique that they are the only two there, so, Veronique's body-jumping will not work. This terrifies Veronique and Angela lunges in for an attack. Angela survives the battle. She is assigned another Watcher. This Watcher is hard on her for having an affair with her previous Watcher. Angela hates the new Watcher so much that she wishes she died during the battle with Veronique.

She was found naked and bleeding, nearly catatonic, and taken to a psychiatric hospital. During her 15 years at the hospital, Dana experienced visions and dreams about the lives of previous Slayers. When activated as a Slayer, Dana became frenzied and violent; not even Thorazine was enough to subdue her. Dr. Rabinaw taped his sessions with Dana speaking in Romanian, Chinese and other languages; the recordings were kept secret, as he planned to write a book on her.
Eventually, Dana escaped, murdering a male nurse in the process and painting her face with his blood. Dana returned to the distillery after a string of murders. Spike, who initially believed Dana was possessed by a demon, tracked the Slayer. In Dana's state of mind, she had come to believe that Spike and Walter Kindel were the same person. Dana drugged Spike and sawed off his hands. Dana was prevented from killing Spike by Angel and Wesley. Dana was taken by W&H's Special Ops team, though they were interrupted by Andrew Wells and a team of Slayers.
