(Wesley's hospital room.)

FRED: (Enters carrying box) Hi, Wesley. How're you feelin'?

(Wesley touches throat, shakes head.)

FRED: Oh. But it's not permanent, though? I brought you some of your stuff from the office. Things there are... well, things. (Takes deep breath) Gunn and I found your notes about...the baby,...prophecy. You took him away 'cause you thought Angel was gonna kill him. You were trying to protect him. Both of them. I just wanted you to know I understand that. I also wanted to say, I thought what Angel tried to do to you was wrong, and I'm sorry.

(Wes looks at her, grateful.)

FRED: But he was right to blame you, Wesley. You should've come to us. You should've trusted us instead of going to Holtz behind our back. You were supposed to be our friend and you didn't even... If Angel sees you again, he'll kill you, Wesley. This time for real. Don't come back to the hotel. Ever.

(She starts to leave, stops at door.)

FRED: The prophecy was false. Angel was never gonna hurt Connor. It was all for nothing.
