In the eighth episode of Angel's first season, titled "I Will Remember You," supernatural detective Angel faces one of his toughest challenges yet. The episode begins as Angel saves a young woman from an attack by a group of vampires. Afterward, he reunites with his old flame, Buffy Summers, who has come to Los Angeles on a mission. As the two reminisce about their past together, they decide to make a day of it and go out on patrol, hoping to take down more vampires.

This decision ultimately leads them to a demon called the Mohra, a powerful creature with the ability to heal any injury. Angel and Buffy fight the demon together, but Angel is ultimately the one who lands the killing blow. As he does, he is bathed in a bright light and transported to a world in which he is human. He has been granted one perfect day with Buffy, completely free of the supernatural forces that have plagued him for centuries.

Angel and Buffy spend the day together, enjoying each other's company and reliving old memories. They go ice skating, have dinner at a fancy restaurant, and even manage to get arrested for singing too loudly in a park. However, as the day draws to a close, Angel realizes that he cannot stay human forever. He questions whether he should choose a human life with Buffy or return to his immortal existence as a supernatural detective. Ultimately, he chooses the latter and asks the Mohra to reverse the spell.

The spell works, and Angel is transported back to the moment before he killed the Mohra. He is given the opportunity to kill the demon again, knowing that doing so will erase his perfect day with Buffy from his memory. He decides to go through with it, but not before telling Buffy that he loves her and giving her a goodbye kiss. He then kills the Mohra and, as promised, forgets everything that happened during his day as a human.

"I Will Remember You" was a poignant episode that explored the themes of love, sacrifice, and the weight of immortality. It was a bittersweet reminder that while Angel may strive to be human and have a normal life, his supernatural tendencies will always hold him back. The chemistry between Angel and Buffy was palpable, and viewers were left wondering whether the two would ever reunite in a more permanent capacity.

Overall, "I Will Remember You" was a standout episode in Angel's first season, showcasing the show's ability to balance the supernatural with human emotion and relationships.
