When we return, Angel angrily grabs Connor's arm to check for needle marks, asking if Sunny "put any of this crap in [Connor]." No, but she did give him a lot of junk food. Now he's going to be on a sugar high all night. Connor says no, and pulls back, and Angel tries to calm him. Angel insists, "We'll take care of this, okay? Together." What's to take care of? Connor says, "Too late," and walks out into the living room. You know, this looked like a motel from the outside, but then it turns out to be spacious apartments. I guess it's like Melrose Place. Angel says, "You must feel like you traded in one hell dimension for another," as Connor picks up Tyke's jacket and sniffs it. Angel sees what Connor's doing, snatches the jacket away, and then sniffs it himself. Which is just funny. Bunch of coat-sniffers. Heh. Angel asks who Connor is tracking, and then figures it out himself: "You're going after the guy who gave her the junk." Angel asks what Connor plans to do, and Connor spookily says, "Punish." Connor tries to leave, and Angel shoves him back, and things get a little strange as they start tossing each other around the room while Angel insists that he's not going to let Connor get into more trouble. Eventually, Angel throws Connor to the floor and says, "You just don't understand how this world works." Connor growls, "Sunny was nice, and now she's dead." Angel says, "Connor --" and Connor screams, "Stop calling me that! My name is Steven."
Cordy and Groo are recovering as Cordy explains what happened: "Standing, talking, and then -- boom! -- knocked on our butts." Gunn wonders if something else came through the portal. Fred rushes out to say that she found a picture of the monster Connor killed in his big entrance, and adds, "It says that these things usually have a mate." Aw, it's nice that monsters can find love, too. Cordy wonders why it's taking Cary so long to come back with the portal repairman. Fred brings up the Wesley option again, and Cordy says, "I don't think Angel's gonna go for that." Groo unexpectedly develops a personality, and smirks, "We must always consider Angel. He is our leader. We must obey his wishes." Ha! Cordy turns to stare at Groo, and Fred declares that she's going to call Wesley. Gunn barks, "No, you're not," and then Cary returns. With a blue-haired goth! And Cary's wearing the trenchcoat and hat again! Whee! Cary apologizes: "Mistress Meerna is a very difficult woman to find." And then Mistress Meerna is gone. And then she's walking into the lobby from upstairs. "See what I mean?" Cary adds. He walks across to Mistress Meerna while declaring, "What I wouldn't do for a lasso and some Crazy Glue."
