Previously on Angel, Darla spawned Angelus, Angelus got a soul, Kate found out that Angel was a vampire, Lindsey made a series of unfortunate hairstyling choices, and Angel stole a prophetic scroll from Wolfram & Hart.

Wesley studies the scroll in Angel's office, muttering, "Shanshu." Cordy asks why it's taking him so long to figure out what it means. Wesley snaps that the prophecies were written "over the past four thousand years in a dozen different languages, some of which aren't even human." He adds, "Why don't we just get a Falanjoid demon in here, suck the brain out of my skull? Maybe that would speed things up!" I don't see how, but it certainly sounds entertaining. Cordy says, "Hurry up and figure out what it says about Angel, 'cause I want to know what it says about me." Cordy has outdone herself by wearing a fringed net top so horrible that I don't even wait for the commercial break before calling Johanna to complain about it. The camera pans over the building directory, which allows us to learn that in addition to Angel Investigations, the building also contains Casas Manufacturing, John Folger, DDS (previously mentioned in "Somnambulist"), and Herbert Stein. A figure in a long, purple robe skulks through the building. Cordy asks if everyone remembers "born-again lawyer boy who wanted out of Wolfram & Hart so bad." They do. Cordy says, "They just promoted him. Junior Partner," and reveals a newspaper story with a big photo of Lindsey. The headline reads, "Wolfram and Hart Promote McDonald." What is she reading, the Wolfram & Hart corporate newsletter? Because in a city the size of Los Angeles, Lindsey's promotion would not merit too many column inches. Wesley whines that Lindsey has sold his soul for thirty pieces of silver, which is a really good way of putting it since Lindsey is like Judas in exactly the same way that Angel is like Christ. Not at all, in other words. Angel hears a noise and says, "It's a little late for visitors." Tense music builds as he walks to the foyer and sees the robed person lurking there. Angel taps the skulker's shoulder. With a startled scream, the person turns and pulls his hood down to reveal that he is David Nabbit. Angel apologizes for scaring him, and David says, "That was awesome! Can we do it again?" Oh. My. Wesley asks if David needs something, and David explains that he just dropped in to visit. He says, "I blew off my board of directors because tonight's my turn to be dungeon master." Then shouldn't he be off doing that, instead of breaking into offices? His voice squeaking, David asks, "You guys want to hang?" After a pause in which no one answers, David strolls into the office cooing over how exciting it is to see "where it all happens." He takes a seat on the couch and says, "What did I do today? Spun off my digital pager network. Made a few more million. Well, all right. several. Big whoop." He says that their lives are meaningful and exciting because they fight demons, adding, "At any moment one of them could walk right through that very door!" Everyone slowly turns to look at the open doorway. Demons fail to present themselves. After a long silence, David asks, "You guys seen any cool demons lately?"
