* On ''[[Angel]]'', Daniel Holtz starts out by getting revenge on Angelus - by harassing the ''souled'' Angel. Initially, Angel responds with sympathy and guilt with what his soulless self did to the troubled man - and tries to simply reason with him. When Holtz starts to threaten Angel's ([[Revenge by Proxy|innocent]]) friends, that's when Angel realizes that more drastic action needs to be taken.
