York, England, 1764,
Holtz pursues Angelus and Darla, following a trail they have deliberately left for him. While Holtz is otherwise occupied, Angelus and Darla make their way to the Holtz's house, get themselves invited in and kill his wife and two children. Holtz arrives at his house to late to save them, but the vampires are gone and his family is dead.

Present,
Angel visits Darla as she sleeps in his room, she looks almost at peace but still Angel doesn't trust her.

Holtz learns about past and present day events through numerous television screens. Sahjhan is the demon that brought Holtz back and has been keeping an eye on Angelus for the hunter for 227 years, ever since Holtz was first preserved.

Angel and Darla reminisce about the night that got them into the whole parent mess in the first place.

The rest of the gang interrupt with new information about the scrolls and prophecies. They've discovered that instead of the "tro-klon" being a person's arrival, it's many different events. The gang begin to discuss possible ways to destroy the baby, whether it be evil or not, but Angel wants his child protected and refuses to let anyone hurt it, before or after it is born.

Cordelia, naturally enough, is reluctant to protect Darla or the baby, but becomesmore willing after she gets her delayed revenge and punches Darla, revenge us sweet.

Almost immediately after though, Darla begins to feel the pain of contractions.

Lilah signs a document in blood and offers it to a mailroom employee. The employee, Cyril offers her a disk in exchange which contains pictures of Angel and Lilah making out in his office from when he was bodyswapped with Marcus. Cyril reveals that he is on her side willing to work against Gavin Park, who had bugs planted at the hotel by supposed exterminators (Gunn was right they were up to no good).

Lilah confronts Gavin about it and finds that Cyril was lying. Gavin has video cameras and audio transcripts from the daily activities at the hotel and just wanted to brag to Lilah about his accomplishments. Together, they look at some of the video and are both shocked to see a very pregnant Darla on the screen.

Darla's contractions are still far apart, but the pain is the kind she doesn't like and she wants the baby out. The gang discusses doctor options and agree that need access to medical equiptment that will allow them to see what is actually inside of the vampire.

Lilah and Gavin talk with a Linwood, whom Lilah has called to notify about Darla's development. They discuss how no one at Wolfram and Hart saw it coming and that the Senior Partners need to be kept in the dark.

Meanwhile, a spying Cyril (who seems to have a love of playing both ends against the middle - or a death wish) makes a call to a Master Tarfall and informs him that the predictions were correct and the word must be spread to the others.

Nine years after losing his family, Holtz thinks back, but his thoughts are interrupted by the demon, Sahjhan. The first encounter between the two has Sahjhan knowing Holtz's future and predicting just when the hunter will face and destroy Angelus and Darla. Holtz is reluctant to believe the demon or accept his aid at first, but soon agrees to be brought two-hundred plus years into the future for his one opportunity to finally destroy the vampries who took away his family.

Darla is brought to a hospital where the gang uses an empty examining room to ultrasound Darla's stomach. Her contractions have stopped, perhaps temporarily, but she is no less eager to rid her body of the baby inside.

Holtz is tired of waiting to take out Angel and Darla, but Sahjhan insists on his patience if Holtz is to succeed. Switching to a human appearance, Sahjhan leads the way out of the underground space as they are about to make a move with the aid of some others.

At Wolfram and Hart, the psychics are questioned and killed because of their inability to predict Darla's pregnancy. The lawyers know that the baby of two vampires is the desired possession of many groups. Lilah is informed that she will receive the blame in the case that the Senior Partners discover their mistake.

Despite some confusion, the Gang are able to identify Darla's baby as a human boy, which pleases Angel, but not Darla. A large group of vampires begin to line the room and fill the observation area above, but they are there to protect the baby, not hurt it.

However, Cordelia, Wesley, Gunn and Fred are classified as food for Darla and her child and orders are given to kill them. They aren't too pleased about this.

Sahjhan brings Holtz to a gym where their "minions" await for Holtz's instruction. The lawyers at Wolfram and Hart plan their attack on the hotel to aquire the baby from Darla.

Gavin works with a military leader on getting into the hotel and Lilah arranges for a special doctor who will do the actual delivery. When her own life is threatened Darla is forced to help in the fight that is about to errupt at the hospital between the vampires and the Gang.

Fred holds a knife to Darla's stomach which holds the vampires off temporarily, but she unintenitonally informs the other vampires that the knife can't hurt the baby and the fight starts. The gang is able to escape unharmed despite the the vampires and military men throughout the hospital.

Darla tries to hide her true feelings, but Angel senses her human-like feelings towards her unborn child. The Gang make plans for a quick stop at the hotel for the scrolls, but intend to get out of town.

Holtz attacks the military men guarding the hotel and proceeds inside where the doctor and others are waiting for Angel and Darla to return. Holtz disposes of the men and doctor, much to the surprise of Wolfram and Hart's lawyers who watch and listen to the battle with the surveliance equiptment.

Angel leaves Darla and his friends parked in an empty alley while he goes for the scrolls. He directs them to leave without him if he doesn't return in five minutes. He finds the hotel a mess and his old enemy, Holtz, waiting for him.

Darla screams as her water has broken and she's gone into active labor, but Angel still hasn't returned. Time is running out...
