CONNOR: Looks like no one's home.

WESLEY: It's open. Hello? Anyone home? Hello?

CORDELIA: Hello? Nordic priestesses?

CONNOR: (looking at pictures in the foyer) So, the mom's a priestess?

CORDELIA: I think all the women in the family are. (smells something) What is that?

(Cordelia looks up to see several bloody, dead bodies on the floor.)

WESLEY: We're too late. Again.

CORDELIA: How does the Beast know exactly what we're gonna do? It's like he's psychic.

WESLEY: Maybe he is.

CONNOR: Or he's been watching us at the hotel.

CORDELIA: Angelus could have sent him a message, some kind of demon Morse code.

WESLEY: No, these people have been dead for a few days. Angelus had nothing to do with this.

CORDELIA: Which means, by the time the shaman was going all chanty on Angel, it was already too late.

CONNOR: (sees the bloody children, with their bloody toys) You mean, they've been here like this...for days?

WESLEY: With the chaos outside, probably no one even noticed they were gone.

CORDELIA: We should have seen this coming.

WESLEY: Of course the Beast would go after the priestesses. Let's have a look around. Then we should call the police. (finds a paper on the desk) Banishment incantation. At least, I think it is.

CORDELIA: Then they were trying to get rid of the Beast.

WESLEY: Seems so.

(Connor sees a calendar on the refrigerator door. One of the days is marked Daddy's Birthday and circled with a red heart. He runs out of the house. Cordelia calls after him.)

CORDELIA: Connor!

(Connor runs out to vomit in the front yard. Cordelia follows him. Connor sits down on the front sidewalk. Cordelia goes to sit beside him. )

CORDELIA: Connor... (sighs) The sun should be up. It's different, isn't it? Dead demons are just a big blob of oozing mess. Vampires turn into dust like they were never anything at all. But humans— (sighs) it's different.

CONNOR: It's not—

CORDELIA: What?

CONNOR: Family.

(Vampires attack)

CORDELIA: Come on!

(they all pile into the car)

CONNOR: (kicks a vampire out of the door) Let's go.

• Cordelia & Connor
• The Beast, the Beast's Master, Jasmine, etc
