Even if it takes an eternity, he will make amends... FEAR FACTOR Cordelia's getting her first big break -- as a contestant on yet another twist on "reality programming." The catch? She has to spend five days and four nights in a so-called haunted house. Not a problem for a girl who lives with a ghost and works with a vampire (and even managed to graduate from Sunnydale High School in one piece). She's a shoo-in. But there may be more going on behind the scenes than Cordy anticipated. On her first night, she's wracked with a vision -- and it's one of the applicants who didn't make the final cut. Through subtle on-air clue-dropping, she manages to communicate the scenario to Angel and Co., who are instantly on the case. But as Angel, Wesley, and Gunn seek the missing actress, paranormal activity in the house heats up. Once Wolfram and Hart is added to the mix, Cordelia has to wonder which she would rather hold onto -- her ticket to certain stardom...or her life...
