City of... Bad Boy rating: ****	Lindsey McDonald's first appearance on Angel is in *City Of...* as a Wolfram and Hart attorney who defends vampire Russell Winters. Lindsey is nameless in the episode.
Five by Five Bad boy rating ****	When it seemed Angel was getting in his and his client's way, Lindsey sends Faith to kill him. When Angel breaks into Lindsey's office looking for Faith, it seems that the young lawyer has no problem with his evil lifestyle and also has a slight sense of humor.
Sanctuary Bad boy rating ****	Being a lawyer, he is also a skilled liar. This is evident in *Sanctuary* He tells Faith that they would never kill a human being, but when Faith breaks down and seeks Angel's protection, Lindsey has no problem sending another assassin to kill her. When that fails, we learn that Lindsey has a manipulative side. He takes advantage of Kate Lockley's hatred of Angel to get her to arrest him for harboring Faith. This plan is also thwarted when Faith turns herself in.
Blind Date Bad boy rating: *	By now, Lindsey is established as an evil lawyer and villain, with no morals and interested only in his general welfare. But this is not completely true as seen in *Blind Date*. Lindsey seems distracted and he is further unnerved by blind assassin Vanessa Brewer. Holland Manners, his boss notices his distraction and discovers Lindsey is not happy with his work. But that does not stop Holland from informing Lindsey that Vanessa plans to kill three children. Lindsey finds that line he cannot cross and turns to Angel for help to save the children. Angel, at first does not accept Lindsey's "redemption". We learn Lindsey grew up poor and figured out that people either have power or do not. He wants to be one who does. He has very little respect for his father and lost two siblings from the flu. (Though it is unknown how much this is true, since Lindsey has lied in the past). Angel is uninterested in what he is saying until he mentions that Brewer's plans to kill the children. Angel convinces Lindsey to help him rescue the children which they need to do by breaking in to the vault at Wolfram and Hart. Lindsey agrees to go, despite that he could easily lose his life. During the break in at the vault, Angel steals the disks and the scroll of Aberjian. This sets off an alarm which gets Lindsey caught. Holland however decides to spare Lindsey. Lindsey and Angel save the children from Brewer. In this scene, we see that Lindsey may have a soft spot for children, when he comforts the three children after Angel kills Brewer. For some unknown reason, Lindsey returns the disks to Wolfram and Hart. Holland is not upset over Lindsey's betrayal, but actually impressed over his standing up to Wolfram and Hart. Holland offers him promotion and despite telling Holland "You may not know me as well as you think you do," Lindsey accepts Holland's offer and turns his back on redemption. Lindsey is still impressed by the power of Wolfram and Hart when he touches his new desk at the end of the episode.
To Shanshu in LA Bad boy rating: ***	In To Shanshu in LA, Angel seems unfazed by Lindsey's return to Wolfram and Hart. Lindsey has returned to the evil lawyer of *Five by Five* and is trying to make up for what he's done in *Blind Date*. During the raising, he takes over the ritual when Angel breaks in and fights with Vocah. Despite Holland and the others abandoning him when he is knocked unconscious, Lindsey still pledges his loyalty to Wolfram and Hart by refusing to give Angel back the scroll (which would save Cordelia). When he tries to burn it, Angel cuts off Lindsey's right hand. In the last sequence, Lindsey's right hand is in a cast. Though he gives Holland a dirty look when Holland gives him a speech about his "sacrifice", Lindsey seems determined to seek vengeance on Angel, but it is unknown is he has any bitterness against Wolfram and Hart.
Judgment Bad boy rating ***	In *Judgment*, Lindsey is now sporting a new plastic hand and is seeking vengeance against Angel. He is obviously frustrated over the lost of his right hand. He seems to admire Darla or at least the damage she can do against Angel.

They are both flirtatious with each other.
Darla Bad boy rating: * 1/2	In *Darla*, she is beginning to breakdown and Lindsey, unsure about his feelings for her decided he must try to help her. Things get a little heated up between them. When Darla calls Angel from his office, Lindsey tells her he will help her. A guard enters the room and in the chaos, Darla hits Lindsey with the phone and tries to escape. She fights with the guard and he is "killed". Lindsey helps her escape. When Holland confronts him, Lindsey says he was confused and offers to find her. Holland tells him she has already been found, he's off the case and the project will be terminated. Lindsey realizes this means they will kill her. On the way to his car, Lindsey attempts to make a call from his cell phone when Angel comes up behind him and tries to strangle him. Lindsey thrusts the phone at him showing him that he had just called Angel Investigations. Despite the hatred, Lindsey pleads with Angel to find Darla before they kill her. Later on, Lindsey sees Holland talking to the guard Darla supposedly killed and realizes that he's been played. He was used to help drive Darla to Angel.
The Trial Bad boy rating: ****	In *the Trial,* Lindsey finds Darla and informs her that she's dying. Angel breaks his door down and Lindsey, obvious depressed and drinking invites Angel in. Angel slams Lindsey against the bar, but Lindsey tells him, he does not need to thrash him to get information. He says it's true, Darla is dying.

She teases him that she will kill him, but he tells her it doesn't bother him. After Angel leaves, Lindsey smiles.
Redefinition Bad boy rating: *** 1/2	In Redefinition, Lindsey awakes under a pile of deceased Lawyers. He pushed his way out of the pile. While being treated by paramedics, Lindsey seems like he's in daze. He comments the Darla saved him by not killing him. The paramedic tells him he's in shock and should go to the hospital. Lindsey snaps out of his daze when he learns that Darla and Dru also spared Lilah. At the office, Lindsey is receiving stares from people. He meets up with Lilah who is also receiving the same stares. Lilah is worried that one of them will be a scapegoat. Lindsey does not seem to care. They both enter Lindsey's office and are startled to find Darla and Dru waiting for them. Darla assures them that if she had planned to kill them, she would have done it in the wine cellar. Lindsey closes the door and asks Darla why she spared him. She goes to him and puts her arm around him then tells him she's in love with him. Then she laughed. Lindsey does not like the response, but does not say anything about it. Instead he tells her she had put him into a difficult position. She explains that she killed the boss and he could take over. Lindsey tells her that it's possible that either he or Lilah will die because of the massacre. Darla tells them that at least one of them will live and serve as her liaison. She explains that although she did not like being used, she wants to stay in contact with W&H. She further explains that she wants power. When Lindsey brings up Angel, Darla gets angry and tells him that she'd spent 250 years without him and wonders if Lindsey thinks she's gone "gooey". Lindsey tells her no that he figured she would kill him. Later on, Lilah shows up in Lindsey's office. She says she is tired of waiting to see what happens and that the two of them should run from Wolfram and Hart. Lindsey explains that if they did W&H would hunt them down. Lilah tells him that won't happen if they steal files. Lindsey touches Lilah's face as to kiss her, then removes the microphone from her blouse. He explains that it doesn't matter what either of them will do, either of them could be the scapegoat. Darla talks to Drusilla about their plans and is pretty certain that Lindsey will cover her financially. Back at the W&H offices, Lindsey and Lilah learn there fate.

She says it was her payment and Lindsey starts to understand something happened between her and Angel. He demands to know all of it. Lindsey and Darla are sitting on the couch. It's obvious she told him what happened. He goes to his closet and pulls out a pair of cowboy boots... Angel decided to take on the Skilosh demons while sending Gunn and Wesley up ahead.

Dead End Bad boy rating * 1/2	Lindsey wakes up only a few minutes before his arm clock goes off. He turns it off with his stump. He shaves and does everything with the one hand. He opens the closet and finds the ties preknoted. He sees a guitar case in the back of the closet. At the meeting of the division heads, Lilah and Lindsey are talking about a case. Lindsey recommends the company confess, Lilah rebuffs him, but Lindsey explains the company will do better if they confess now instead of a long trial. Lindsey continually overshoots Lilah. After the meeting Reed says he will reevaluated the division. Lilah thinks that one of them will be promoted over the other. Reed calls Lindsey into his office. He tells him he seems a little obsessive over Angel. Reed said he has cleared Lindsey's calendar for something important. Lindsey goes to a clinic where they explain he will be getting a new hand. While the hand is being attached, a demon enters and says an enchantment and the wound heals. Lindsey wakes up looks at his left hand, then his right, when he sees the guitar, he plays a few bars. At a meeting, Lilah and Lindsey are again in competition with each other to impress a client. Lindsey has the upper hand (no pun intended). However when he looks at what he just wrote, all it is "Kill" written several times. Lindsey abruptly leaves the meeting. At home, Lindsey is trying to write. He stabs the hand several times. He asks the hand "who are you?" Angel and group enter Cartias to someone singing. The groups look up and startled to find Lindsey singing. Wesley, Cordy and Gunn are impressed, but once Angel gets over his shock, he starts making fun of Lindsey's singing. Wesley, Cordelia, Gunn and the Host tell him to shut up. The Host explains that Lindsey used to come all the time until someone cut off his hand. After Lindsey is finished, he asked the host about the hand. Angel cuts in about the singing and Lindsey gets mad about Angel being here. The hosts says they are both here for the same thing. Lindsey gets even more Mad when he realizes he has to work with Angel. He walks out telling Angel if he sees him outside the club he's going to kill him. Lindsey breaks into Reed's office to find information about the hand. While leaving, he spots Lilah taking files. Lindsey's lead takes him to a parole officer's apartment. When Lindsey can't verified that he works for Wolfram and Hart, the officer slams him against the table. Angel throws something though the window. The man grabs Lindsey and puts a gun to his head. He screams that he'll kill Lindsey unless Angel shows himself. Angel grabs the guy with a rope and pulls him out the window. Lindsey gets mad and argues with Angel that that's his lead. Angel managed to get the info from the guy about where he took the man (Bradley) who's hand Lindsey is wearing. On route to the place in Angel's car, Angel tells Lindsey that he does not seem happy. Lindsey rebukes him, but it seems true. The place that Bradley was taken looks like a travel agency, Lindsey explains that it probably has a lot of W&H security. He says he wished he brought his laptop. Angel doesn't understand. Lindsey explains he could use it to break in. Angel says "why don't we just fight." Lindsey lifts his fists as to fight, but Angel obviously wants to fight his way in. The two of them fight the goons guarding the place. After the goons are knocked out, Angel finds a false floor. Lindsey and Angel go downstairs and find a "body chop shop." Angel explains this is what Wolfram and Hart do. Lindsey seems shaken by what is going on. Angel leads Lindsey over to Bradley. Bradley is missing several body parts including the hand Lindsey is now wearing. Lindsey remembers Bradley from working with him in the mailroom. Bradley asks Lindsey to kill him. Lindsey asks Angel what to do, Angel tells him that's his decision. Lindsey turns off Bradley's life support, then starts trashing the room. Angel opens some oxygen tanks and asks Lindsey to help them take the people out. Lindsey and Angel help who they can before the building explodes. At a W&H meeting, Reed talks about how hard it is to let someone go. Lilah realizes it's her but before she can reach into her purse for her gun, Lindsey stops her. He tells her that he clearly got the position. Reed nods yes. Lindsey tells Lilah she just did not have what it takes-- an evil hand. Lindsey browbeats Reed how they gave him an evil hand. When Reed asks for a guard to stop Lindsey, Lindsey grabs the guard's gun and shoots him in the foot. He shoots at Reed while telling his evil hand to stop. Lindsey thanks Reed for the job, but tells him that Lilah would have been a better choice. Because she has files on them. Lindsey says he has evil hand issues and he's "bored with this crap." He tells Reed he is leaving. While departing, he wishes Lilah good luck and pinches her backside and explains it was his evil hand. Lindsey is putting his stuff and guitar in the back of his truck (the one From Epiphany). He is dressed down. Angel is standing in the back of the truck, touching it. The two have words, but it ends with Lindsey giving Angel a piece of advice. Don't play Wolfram and Hart's game, make them play yours. Angel thanks him and warns him about cops on the road.
