 This season Angel has been trying to right his wrong and resurrect Giles in a world without magic.  In the last arc Faith's father returned and destroyed the little relationship they had left leaving Faith nearly broken.  She went to a sane Drusilla who would help her forget, Angel came to save the day and that is where this issue begins. 

Angel and Faith return home to find Giles' two great aunts in their home.  They're obviously magically since they look like they've never aged which they hadn't up until Angel destroyed the magic in the world.  Apparently these two aunts have been making deals with people that they get to cash in when they get their first gray hair and that day has come, of course they expect Angel to protect them since it's his fault that the magic is gone.  It sounds sort of silly but this issue was really amazing.  We got to see a lot of different monsters that these ladies dealt with, and one in particular was pretty nasty. 

After Faith and Angel take care of the big bads they want to know more information about Giles' aunts and they tell a story about Giles when he was a much younger boy who just wanted to fly airplanes.  This is also where we see his nickname Ripper referenced to for the first time.  I always love seeing more into Giles' back story and this season of Angel is really hitting the mark.

This issue didn't end there, someone knocks on the door and Angel thinking he's about to face more monsters is shocked (as was I) to see Willow with Buffy's old scythe.  I loved this issue and can't wait for the next one.
