With boxes of possessions in thier hands and still reeling from being fired, Cordelia, Wesley and Gunn walk down the street, wondering about their future and the reasons behind Angel's actions. They finally agree to leave Angel alone for now, and all head to their respective homes.

At the hotel, Angel burns his drawings of Darla in the furnace. Intent on building himself into a one-man killing machine, Angel works on his strength and fighting skills until he is at the level to finally take on Wolfram and Hart.

In Holland's cellar, dead bodies litter the floor, and from beneath them all, Lindsey regains consciousness, a survivor of the mess. As the paramedics check him and bodies out, Lindsey is far from pleased to find out that Lilah also survived.

Wesley's girlfriend, Virginia, can't understand why Angel fired Wesley and the others. Wesley tries to explain, but is at a loss for words, so then they discuss Wesley's possible future.

Lindsey and Lilah worry about their jobs at Wolfram and Hart and wonder whether or not they'll be blamed for the massacre that killed so many of their co-workers, and thier supervisor. Darla and Drusilla are waiting for Lindsey and Lilah in Lindsey's office. Darla explains that they were left alive so they could be connections on the inside of Wolfram and Hart for the vampires, and it would be in the lawyers best interests to help them.

Several vampires enter the sewers and are met with a very angry and violent Angel who disposes of them all with seemingly little effort.

At the Carias, Wesley, Cordelia and Gunn all find themselves in search of the truth of their futures - they are so desperate that they're all willing to sing.

Angel pays a visit on Merl, which leaves Merl dangling by his ankles over water in the sewers being repetitively dunked until Angel gets answers about Darla and Dru's whereabouts.

Darla and Drusilla arrive at a demon club intending to recruit demons and vampires for their new gang. Angel is hidden in the crowd, and after hearing the plans, he leaves, alerting Drusilla to his appearance. Outside the building, Angel concludes that he's still too attached to Darla to defeat her.

Lilah talks to Lindsey about possibly leaving the firm, but Lindsey figures out her secret plans and pulls the microphone from her blouse. He's not going to get caught out so easily by her.

Wesley, Cordelia and Gunn all get very drunk and yell at each other before ending up on stage singing "We Are the Champions." (badly) The Host lets the Powers That Be do the guiding, but offers protection for Cordelia's head as she gets vision about a very dangerous demon and a young woman in trouble.

The remainder of Angel Investigations head to the location of the vision, but without weapons or Angel, they have to make do with what little they have, which frankly isn't much.

Darla is frustrated with all the focus others are putting on Angel and is eager to get to the factory and select members of her new army. Drusilla rants about fire and pain, caught in a semi-trance, but Darla brushes it off as they head for their factory.

Well armed with a bag full of weapons, Angel enters the factory where a large group of demons have gathered.

Wesley and Gunn fight the vision demon while Cordelia rescues the girl. Darla and Drusilla arrive at the factory to find all of their prospective minions dead and Angel at the back of the building smoking a cigarette. Darla calls out to him, but he doesn't answer to either of his names and drops the cigarette into a trail of petrol that ignites both Darla and Drusilla.

The vampires burn, but Darla breaks open a fire hydrant and puts out the flames before it destroys them.

Lilah and Lindsey find themselves sharing the job of Executive Vice-President of Special Projects until one of them can prove they're the most qualified.

Angel throws knives at a target hitting the middle every time. Wesley enters and informs Angel that he and the others will continue to fight the good fight, even if Angel won't. Slightly phased by the news, Angel regains his control and reasons to himself that he'll be fighting the war.
