WESLEY: (On phone, while Angel drives car.) She's not picking up.

ANGEL: She wasn't at home before either. I-I stopped by there - before I went to your place.

WESLEY: Oh. Did you. Just keep going straight.

ANGEL: So, ah, I guess you're probably wondering why I'm, you know, (slight laugh) back?

WESLEY: It hadn't really occurred to me. You're gonna want to take a right turn shortly.

ANGEL: I know how to get to your offices, Wesley.

WESLEY: Oh yeah, of course. You did pop by. Stole a book.

(Angel doesn't say anything. The car hits a bump in the road and Wesley winces.)

ANGEL: I'll try to avoid the bumps.

WESLEY: I appreciate that.

ANGEL: Actually, it's kind of funny. I-I recently got a - a gut wound myself. (Wesley stares at him with a frown) Not - not a gunshot wound like you got there. But, uh, it's kind of a - antique - sword (Wesley just keeps staring at him) is what it was. Went deep. - Yes, it did. - Hey, guess who stabbed me?

WESLEY: Darla?

ANGEL: Yeah. Actually kind of a funny story. The whole reason I had - this epiphany was... (Looks over at Wesley staring straight ahead, gives up) Alright, so why don't you just tell me about these Skilosh demons.

WESLEY: Very well. We at Angel Investigations were recently contracted by a family to investigate the sudden appearance of a mysterious third eye on the back of their young daughter's head.

ANGEL: Oh, really? You kept the name.

WESLEY: Pardon?

ANGEL: You kept the name: Angel Investigations.

WESLEY: We're gonna change it.

ANGEL: Go on.

WESLEY: In any event, I diagnosed the girl's condition as infection by a Skilosh.

ANGEL: With your books.

WESLEY: Yes.

ANGEL: Yeah, you were always so good with your books. Made it looks so easy. When it isn't.

WESLEY: Skilosh, a notoriously violent, asexual, self-replicating species of demon, has the distasteful habit of injecting its demon spawn into the cranium of a human host. One of the key diagnostic symptoms being the tell-tale third eye on the back of the host's head. If this condition is not arrested in time a newborn Skilosh will erupt, fully grown, from the skull of its human host.

ANGEL: But you guys, you saved the little girl.

WESLEY: Yes, we did.

ANGEL: You did a good thing.

WESLEY: Thank you.

ANGEL: Welcome.
