Hero is about the gang helping a clan of demon refugees, targeted for extermination by a group of demons known as The Scourge.
A quality send off and tribute to the character of Doyle and Glenn Quinn, though not the highest standard throughout. After the talk Doyle just had with Angel and his self-sacrifice, to give up his happiness to ensure Buffy wouldn't die. Doyle realizes Angel's too important and sacrifices himself. While the ending's poignant, it's handled a bit clumsily. I mean, Doyle punching Angel wouldn't stun him and he could jump up the ladder instead of step by step and if Doyle failed to turn it off they'd all die anyway, so Angel still should of done it. The Scourge don't exactly act like some unstoppable force emulating the Nazi regime, the beacon certainly changes things though. They look awfully silly too. Cordy's rather cheeky this episode.
