Synopsis for "To Worship the Damned!"

On their way to the airport for a personal flight to London, Gabriel asks Desadia if he will fail on his current exorcism. She tells him that while he may not fail, she will fail him. On the flight to England, Gabriel is briefly possessed by a demon, which he is able to force out, however he cuts up his hand when smashing a mirror with it. Gabriel and Desadia soon find the plane about to crash. They go to the cockpit to find that the demon was forcing the pilot to choke himself. Gabriel manages to get control of the plane and land it himself.

Later, as they are driving to their destination (the home of the Chesterton family), Desadia is possessed by a demon, forcing Gabriel to strike at her and drive the demon out of her body. Arriving at the Chesterton home, they find that Mrs. Chesteron has been savagely beaten. She tells them that her husband -- who is the leader of a Satanic cult did it and that they are preforming a ceremony at Stonehenge.

Traveling there, Gabriel exposes that Chesterton has been possessed as a demon. To defeat it, Gabriel has to use love and expresses love to Desadia, however when he tries to get her to also love the demon, she falters. None the less, Gabriel is able to complete the exorcism, causing lightning to strike Chesterton's body, destroying the demon however it kills Chesterton as well.

Shaken from the experience, Desadia apologizes to Gabriel for failing him. Gabriel dismisses it, telling her the only one they failed was the charred corpse in front of them, and that it was damned from the moment it chose to worship the devil.
