The Axe Man
Lilith kills and drains two would be muggers and rapists who were targeting her connected persona of Angel O'Hara, while Martin Gold and his common-law wife, Mary Jean Peale are at their Greenwich Village apartment. While in the kitchen Martin hears Mary Jean scream and rushes to the bathroom to find her dead with her head having been hacked off. Passing out from the scene some time later when waking up Martin calls the police who believe he may have done the crime and have him locked up.
Martin is released a day later when new victims murdered similarly are discovered. Leaving the prison but still in a bit of shock that his lover had been killed Martin dazedly travels eighth street and picks up a book, not really looking at it but lost in thought. That is when Angel O'Hara speaks to him. The two are instantly connected as if Angel can sense Martin's pain and Martin looking for something to take his mind off the incident falls for Angel's caring nature. Martin instantly confesses to what transpired but rather than being afraid Angel offers to go home with him. After spending some time together at the apartment Martin offers to go get burgers while Angel takes a shower.
While in the shower Angel is attacked just like Martin's wife, but this time Angel transforms into Lilith and forces the axe murderer to confess to why he's murdering these young women. The murderer subdued confesses that his daughter Janet was in love with a man who didn't marry her even after she was pregnant with his baby. Janet would go on to die during childbirth which made the man seek out women of low morals that influenced his daughter into being with a man whom she wasn't married with. Lilith not keen on the idea that a woman can't think or act for herself kills the man by draining him of his blood than sticks him into an alley trashcan before Martin returns.
When Martin returns Lilith is back to being Angel, the two sit down and watch tv to enjoy their burgers. Angel hoping hers has extra ketchup...
