FRED: Still no answer on his cell phone.

CORDELIA: That could mean something if he actually knew how to use it.

GUNN: Maybe we should head back out, start where we last saw him, see if we can pick up the trail.

GROO: A wise plan. I will assist with tracking.

CORDELIA: No.

FRED: But if something *did* come out of the portal, and if it *is* looking for Connor, and if Angel did find him...

CORDELIA: He did.

(The lobby doors open and Angel limps in.)

GROO: Angel.

CORDELIA: Oh my god.

GUNN: Bro, you're hurt.

ANGEL: I'm okay.

CORDELIA: You found him.

ANGEL: Yeah.

CORDELIA: And?

ANGEL: And - we talked.

CORDELIA: Looks to me like he likes to talk with his hands.

ANGEL: Oh, he didn't do this to me. Not most of it, any way.

GUNN: So, is it for sure then? That kid really was Connor?

ANGEL: Steven. His name is Steven now. - He's still my son.

FRED: So - where is he?

ANGEL: Not sure. But he knows where I am. He'll be fine.

FRED: Actually - he might not be.

ANGEL: What do you mean?

CORDELIA: Something may have escaped from Quor-toth before we had time to close the portal.

GUNN: Lorne's dimensional magic expert was picking up some seriously bad vibes.

ANGEL: So nobody actually saw anything else come out.

FRED: Well, not exactly.

ANGEL: And if my son was the last thing that came through...

GUNN: Right.

FRED: But what if it was some vengeance-y else thing that's after Connor?

ANGEL: He survived Quor-toth this long. He can take care of himself.

FRED: Okay. So he survived and unspeakable hell dimension. Who hasn't? You-you can't just leave him alone in the streets of Los Angeles!

ANGEL: He's got to come back on his own. And he will. Just as soon as he realizes what he needs.

GUNN: And what's that?

CORDELIA: A father.

(cut to Connor dropping money on a counter at a motel)

CONNOR: A room. I need a room for me and my father.

(Connor turns his head and looks at Holtz coming up beside him.)
