(Cordelia sits down next to Wesley on the lobby steps inside the Hyperion.)

CORDELIA: Well, that was pretty humiliating, huh? (Angel & Gunn show) Angel, Gunn, what happened?

ANGEL: He got hit.

CORDELIA: By who? The swami? Swamies don't hit. Swamies swam.

ANGEL: Why is Wesley wearing my coat?

GUNN: (to CORDELIA) That was a whole lot of swami.

WESLEY: The T'ish Magev hit him?

ANGEL: He was a fake. Someone must have found out I was going up there. They hired this guy to get me out of the way. He took out the real Magev. Set up the whole thing.

WESLEY: Did you find out who hired him?

ANGEL: He wouldn't say. (Wesley gets up and paces) That is my coat, right?

WESLEY: It has to be Paul Lanier. He thought that would keep Virginia unprotected. Then when his men couldn't take me out, he tipped off Bryce that I wasn't Angel. He hoped Bryce would get me out of the way.

ANGEL: What's going on? Were you in Virginia?

WESLEY: That's beside the point.

CORDELIA: He was posing as you. Protecting a girl named Virginia. This guy Lanier is trying to kill her, or abduct her, or something.

WESLEY: She's probably in danger right now. She's at the big party.

GUNN: What party?

WESLEY: Her father's birthday. Big wizard event, cake, ice cream, tributes to the goddess Yeska.

ANGEL: Yeska? Wait a minute, I know Yeska. She's no goddess.

CORDELIA: What do you mean?

ANGEL: She's a Davric demon.

WESLEY: Davric? They don't serve humans -- well, unless the humans make a sacrifice.

GUNN: Sacrifice?

WESLEY: Davric demons eat live sacrifices, generally girls. They grant huge power to the person that offers a sacrifice on their 50 -- oh, dear lord, on their 50th birthday. Bryce is gonna sacrifice his own daughter.

CORDELIA: So why was Lanier trying to abduct her?

ANGEL: Bryce is going to get a lot of power off the sacrifice.

WESLEY: We have to go. Angel you take Gunn, go to the front of the house. Cordelia, we'll go to the back. (starts to leave, but Angel halts him)

WESLEY: Alright, I'm sorry. You know this sort of thing best. How should we proceed?

ANGEL: Um, well, Gunn and I could -- take the back?

WESLEY: (walks on) Very good. Lets go.

ANGEL: (following) Uh, Wesley, can I get my coat back?
