CORDELIA: (to phone) Thanks for your help. (Hangs up the phone) Well, mama's telling the truth about Akron, and before *that* Miami and Baton Rouge, all within the last three years.

ANGEL: Let me guess – couldn’t lose the black cloud.

CORDELIA: Like it was fitted with chin straps. Everywhere they go, there’s been reports of disturbances and – yuck! – animal deaths? In Akron, a friend of the family went missing. He’s still missing! (RE: the demon goo vial) What is this stuff anyway? Kind of pretty!

WESLEY: Uh, it’s the bodily excretion of an Ethros demon.

CORDELIA: No one could have said 'demon poo' *before* I touched it?

WESLEY: Oh, it can’t hurt you. Only the demon itself is dangerous.

CORDELIA: How dangerous?

WESLEY: Tends to go in for mass murder. You’ve heard of Lizzie Borden? She killed her parents with an axe?

CORDELIA: I remember the children’s rhyme. And how come they’re all full of death and cradles falling, and mice getting tails cut off? Anyway, the whole thing needs a ratings system, don’t you think?

WESLEY: Yes, well – what the rhyme doesn’t say is that she was possessed by an Ethros.

ANGEL: An adolescent Ethros. With this amount of Plakticine, we’ve got ourselves a grown-up demon.

CORDELIA: So someone in the family's got a squatter in their head. What do *we* do about it?

ANGEL: Evict him.

WESLEY: Exorcism. I’ll look into finding someone who can perform one. Not too many priests go in for it much these days.

CORDELIA: But who do we exorcise? Which one's the demon?

ANGEL: The father seemed kind of off. They were afraid of him.

WESLEY: A father doesn’t have to be possessed to terrorize his children. He just has to... (changes the subject) We’ll find out soon enough. The first step in confronting the demon is getting him to show himself. A little psylis eucalipsis powder ingested by the host...

CORDELIA: And what? Dad goes ‘grrr.’ Head spins around?

WESLEY: Essentially.

ANGEL: Okay, so how do I get someone to eat eucalipsis powder?

(Cut to Paige opening the door for Angel. He’s holding a plate covered with plastic wrap.)

ANGEL: I made brownies.
