(Cut to the party. Angel by himself, people are wondering about the stripper. Where the hell is she? - She should be here any second, man! - Where is she? - Drink up man. - Here's to Doyle! (Boos and cheers) - Doyle! (Cut to later, at the bar.))

RICHARD: I have a little confession to make. Ever since I learned that Harry was married before, I've felt like I've been living in your shadow.

DOYLE: Really?

RICHARD: You were something - I can never be for her - her first. She'll always love you, Francis. Always. But she needs different things now. I know I can make her happy, but I need you to be a part of it.

DOYLE: Me?

RICHARD: I have to have your blessing, Doyle. Without it there won't be any marriage.

GUY: (leads Richard away) It's time, dude! (the stripper has arrived.)

RICHARD: Oh, fellas. Oh, god.

ANGEL: (to Doyle) Are you okay?

DOYLE: Yeah.

(Angel follows Brother and Cousin through kitchen to attic where Dad is performing rite with knife.)

DAD: Ino platbrata iko iko retvan el shak. Ino platbrata iko iko retvan el shak

(Cut to Cordelia's cell-phone.)

CORDELIA: Hello?

ANGEL: It's Angel. Where are you?

CORDELIA: In the netherworld known as the 818 area code. Why?

ANGEL: Let me speak to Harry.

CORDELIA: Hang on. It's for you. It's Angel.

HARRY: Hello?

ANGEL: How is your Aratuscan?

HARRY: Rusty, considering it's a dead demonic language.

ANGEL: Guess again. I need a translation: 'Ino platbrata iko iko retvan el shak'.

HARRY: What's going on, Angel?

ANGEL: I don't know yet. Will you just look into it for me?

HARRY: I guess, uhm, I could check the family library.

ANGEL: Thanks.

(Hangs up, turns around.)

COUSIN: Hey...

ANGEL: Excuse me...

COUSIN: What's your problem?

ANGEL: No problem.

COUSIN: Are you disrespecting me?

ANGEL: No.

COUSIN: So, now I'm a liar?

(They fight, others join in.) (Cut to the stripper and Richard.) (Cut back to fight, Angel is thrown out onto roof, rolls off and rests unconscious on ground)

COUSIN: Sad when a man can't hold his liquor.
