Ella can't resist Malachi's offer of a time-travelling date in 1920's Berlin, where depravity and decadence reign supreme.

Recap:
Malachi approaches Thelma as she sits outside a café. He apologises for being rude to her about Cassie. He says she must be lonely. She says she's not falling for his charm. He asks her whom of the passers-by she finds attractive. She considers a couple of options, then points out a girl she likes. Malachi assesses her choice. Suddenly a car comes out of nowhere and smashes into the girl. Thelma looks on in shocked silence as people come running. Malachi tells Thelma to look the dead girl up. Thelma is appalled.
Leon surprises Ella with a birthday cake. It's her 446th birthday. Ella's taken aback, particularly when it becomes clear that Leon has organised a party that evening and everyone's invited, even Malachi. Leon says it was the least they can do, given that Malachi spared her life. It seems Ella's not told Leon the whole truth about their sword fight.
Malachi tries to persuade Ella to go on a proper date with him. He points out that the two of them are equals, they'll still be here when Leon and everyone else have gone. Could there really be a better fate? Ella resists him but it's clear he's getting to her. Thelma tells her to forget about him and enjoy her birthday.
That night all the gang go out for a meal at a Chinese restaurant. Leon's a bit drunk and Malachi is quick to point out that the conversation is a little childish. When Ella goes to get more drinks, she and Malachi toast with absinthe. Leon sees this and looks a little perturbed. By the end of the evening, Leon's really drunk and he makes a speech about his feelings for Ella. All the while Malachi stares at Ella, mocking Leon and offering more than a mortal ever could. It becomes too much for Ella and she storms out. Leon follows her and they row. Ella tells him she doesn't care about another year passing, and he shouldn't be talking about them settling down and having kids, because they never could. She tells him he has to find someone normal, she's no good for him anymore.
Ella leaves and gets into a mini-cab. She's lost in her own thoughts as the driver babbles on, until it becomes clear that he is taking her in the wrong direction. Ella tells him to turn round. He refuses and locks the doors. She tries to lift the locks telekinetically but he tells her that won't work. He takes her to some waste ground.
But instead of attacking her he tells her that she has been straying from the path and she must kill Malachi. She asks his name and he tells her he is the Archangel Raphael. He gives her a package and tells her it will help her to return to the straight and narrow. He tells her to remember whose side she is on – and that He is a jealous God.
Meanwhile Thelma goes to the morgue and finds Maya, now a ghost, hysterical next to her own dead body. Thelma tries to comfort her but Maya runs away. Thelma finds where she lived from the hospital computer.
The next morning Malachi continues his campaign to get Ella to go on a date with him. She rebuffs him but he is growing more confident. Ella opens the package that Raphael gave her. It's a cilice, a spiked garter worn on the thigh to stop lustful thoughts. She puts it on, but is interrupted by Leon.
Leon tells her that he's sorry the party didn't go so well, and that he doesn't want them to split up. He's so sweet that Ella can't resist getting back together with him.
Thelma goes to Maya's house and finds Maya trying to communicate with her mother. Maya soon realises it's hopeless and collapses into tears. Thelma comforts her as Maya starts to realise that she truly is dead. Thelma gets her to see that being dead is not so bad. Maya is grateful for her help and support.
Meanwhile Malachi winds Leon up in the canteen to the point where Leon hits him. Malachi doesn't fight back, and David sees the whole thing. Leon is fired up and unrepentant. David suspends him. Leon is shocked and upset, given that it's not a good time for him to be away from Ella.
Ella is unaware that Malachi has engineered Leon's suspension. She promises Leon she'll be waiting for him when he comes back, but as she sees Leon off, Malachi appears once again to tell her that the two of them should be together. He asks her to reconsider going on a date with him and tells her not to say no just yet.
As Thelma and Maya arrange to meet later, Malachi watches. Thelma is upset to see him there. Malachi tells her he wants her help to convince Ella to go on a date with him. Otherwise Maya might just find out how she died. Thelma is upset but does as she's told, convincing Ella that it's not so bad to go on one date with Malachi.
Ella turns up at Malachi's room. He tells her to open her coat and looks her up and down before telling her she'll do. He informs her he is taking her to someone else's century for their date, as he holds up the stone of Belial. He takes her to a nightclub in 1928 Berlin. Perie the Faerie is a singer there, and Ella thinks it's a trap, until Malachi reassures her that the Faerie doesn't know who she is yet – and won't until 2005. Ella starts to relax.
Meanwhile Leon has broken back into Medenham via the secret passageways. Thelma is reluctant being his guide and leaves him to his search for Ella, telling him not to tell Ella that she helped.
Malachi tells Ella that he has no intention of following the plan which higher powers have for him. Meanwhile, Perie the Faerie talks to a gentleman who we will come to know as Mephistopheles. He waits for a moment when Malachi is alone, then tells him that he's got a job to do. Malachi is surprised at first, then tells Mephistopheles that he just wants to have some fun, rather than win over the hearts and minds of men. Mephistopheles seems disappointed. He leaves Malachi and Ella to it.
As Malachi and Ella get closer in 1928, back in the present Thelma and Maya are also becoming the best of friends. However Thelma's piling lie upon lie as she tells Maya that she herself was killed by cancer. Her "bravery" only serves to make Maya like her more.
Leon has trailed the secret passageways looking for Ella. He ends up at Malachi's room where he's astonished to see the Archangel Raphael, who allows him to travel back to 1928 to stop Ella getting it on with Malachi. Leon finds himself in a corridor and ducks into a room to change his clothes to something more fitting. However the Faerie comes in and mistakes him for a client.
Things are getting steamy between Malachi and Ella and they make their way upstairs. They find an empty room. Passionately they start to undress. But then Ella catches Leon's eye in a mirror. He's standing in a cage, left there by the Faerie, wearing only his boxer shorts and a soldier hat. Ella rushes out without explanation. Malachi tries to follow her. Leon is left wondering if she was going to go through with sleeping with Malachi. Mephistopheles watches it all with interest
