(Connor returns to the Hyperion lobby)

LORNE: Oh, hey, kiddo. I didn't see you there. You looking for your dad? Come on. He's upstairs. I'll show you the room. - This way.

CONNOR: I'm not going anywhere with you, demon.

LORNE: I'll tell you what, since you were raised in a hell dimension by a psychopath, and since that happens to be a topic that I know a little something about, we'll just let that slide. Now I'll fetch your pop for you.

(Lorne turns to continue up the stairs.)

CONNOR: Filthy demon.

LORNE: Actually, that's *uncle* filthy demon to you. It wasn't that long ago - like a week - I was changing your diapers, you little...

CORDELIA: (entering) Hey! What's the problem? Steven? (Connor's continues glaring at Lorne) Steven.

(After a beat Connor lets himself be lead over to the settee and sits down with Cordy, but he keeps staring at Lorne.)

CORDELIA: I know you haven't been in this world very long, and I imagine that things are pretty wild west-y where you're from, but Lorne's a good guy. Honestly.

CONNOR: It's a demon.

CORDELIA: Right. True. *He* is. But 'demon' doesn't always mean 'evil' in this dimension. I mean, look at me. Well, I'm part demon. Yeah. By choice. I did it so that I could help people. (Turns to look at Lorne) And so that the back of my head wouldn't...

(with a feral look, Connor draws his knife and lunges to stab Cordy. cut to commercial. resume)

LORNE: Cordy!

(Cordelia catches Connor's knife arm, holding it away from her. She starts to glow, and the glow spreads to connor, dissolving the blade)

CORDELIA: Let it go, honey. - Just let it go. You don't need that. You don't need any of that. That's right. Just let it go, baby.

(the light fades)

CORDELIA: Shh. It's okay, sweetie. That's right. It's okay.

(Connor's eyes close and he leans his head against Cordy and cries into her shoulder. Cordy holds on to him.)

CORDELIA: I know. Shh. - It's okay. - It's okay.
