Angel
Season 01
S01E09 - Hero
Doyle’s own chance for atonement comes sooner than expected when he receives a vision that a band of part-human Lister demons are trying to escape from the Scourge, an army of supremacist storm-trooper demons who claim pure blood and consequently persecute those of mixed blood. While Doyle goes after a strayed Lister teen and Cordelia handles details of the escape plan, Angel infiltrates the enemy and discovers their secret weapon, a bomb-like device called the Beacon that combusts anyone with any taint of human blood. Events lead to a climactic showdown aboard a tramp freighter, where Doyle finally confesses his half-demon heritage - and his love for her - to Cordelia. Angel attempts to sacrifice himself to destroy the Beacon as it begins to operate, but Doyle, himself a half-breed demon, knocks Angel out, kisses Cordelia, disables the Beacon, and dies from its effects. Angel and Cordelia later sadly watch the video Doyle had been making.
