CORDELIA: Ow!

GUNN: She OK?

CONNOR: She's lost a lot of blood.

CORDELIA: Where's Angelus?

GUNN: Gone. He killed Lilah.

CORDELIA: Oh, God. It's started.

(while noone's looking, Cordy smiles a subtle, evil grin)

(...credits...)

CONNOR: What are we waiting for? Why aren't we going after him?

WESLEY: No need. He'll be back.

FRED: How do you know?

CORDELIA: We're the ones he wants to hurt. The people closest to Angel.

CONNOR: I say we dust him before he gets the chance.

WESLEY: That's just the kind of reckless thinking that allowed Angelus to double back on us, giving him the chance to— (looks at Lilah's body, then softly) From now on, we all stay close.

FRED: And do what? If Angelus is coming back for us, we can't just be waiting for him to drop by. We need to do something. Board up the windows, make it safe somehow. Don't you think?

GUNN: Won't make a difference. If he wants in, nothing's gonna stop him.

LORNE: The birth of a notion, kids. We use the sanctuary spell. That anti-demon-violence charm I used down at Caritas. It won't keep Angelus from making a house call, but it should keep carnage down to a minimum.

GUNN: That takes some doing, doesn't it?

LORNE: Well, I could put a call into the Furies. Maybe they could tech-support me through a quickie version.

CONNOR: Magic again. You people rely way too much on that junk.

WESLEY: We use whatever tools we have.

CONNOR: Yeah, only it never really works the way it's supposed to. It's why we're here, isn't it? Why he's loose?

FRED: Cordy, why didn't it work? The spell to bring Angel's soul back. Did we do something wrong?

CORDELIA: I don't know.

GUNN: Yeah, and how did you get so fooled, Lorne? Reading Angelus wrong like that. You were so sure he was Angel.

CORDELIA: Don't put this on him. I'm the one who let Angelus out. It's my fault.

FRED: It's nobody's fault.

GUNN: I'll tell you whose fault it is—the Powers That sit on their Be-hind sending us useless, cryptic messages—

CONNOR: We have to destroy her.

WESLEY: What?

CONNOR: The body. She could have been turned.

GUNN: Sired, you mean? No, there wasn't enough time.

CONNOR: You don't know that.

GUNN: The hell I don't. It happened to—

WESLEY: No, he's right. We can't take any chances. I'll take care of it.
