GUNN: OK, but three is where I draw the—

ANGEL: Cordelia?

CORDELIA: Who are you people?

ANGEL: My God! It's you. You're back. (Cordelia backs away) Don't you remember? Angel. (to Fred and Gunn) Um, you see her too, right? I'm not just—

GUNN: No, man, it's real.

ANGEL: (to Cordelia) It's OK. We're friends. You know us. Fred. Gunn. You're dazed or something must— Thank God you're back.

CORDELIA: So we know each other?

ANGEL: Yeah, really well.

CORDELIA: OK, um... who am I?

(...)

ANGEL: What do you remember?

CORDELIA: I don't know. Numbers. Animals. Flossing.

ANGEL: But not us.

CORDELIA: Or me. I don't remember me.

ANGEL: You're Cordelia Chase. You work here. With us. You've been gone for a while, but you're safe now. It's OK. We-we're friends. We're here to help you.

CORDELIA: I've been gone?

ANGEL: What's important is that you're back?

CORDELIA: Are there other people here?

FRED: Um, not to sound all Movie of the Week, but I think you might have some kind of amnesia. Like maybe you fell or banged your head.

GUNN: Should we take her to a hospital?

CORDELIA: (scared) Hospital? I don't need a— Not yet, maybe later.

FRED: I don't think seeing a doctor will solve her problems.

ANGEL: (sees Lorne approaching from the garden, Angel whispers to Fred and Gunn) Neither will seeing green. (to Cordy) You wanna know what might help you remember? Seeing some of your things. (to Gunn) You wanna check for her things out in the garden?

GUNN: Checking away.

(Outside the door, Gunn pushes Lorne out of sight before Cordelia sees him.)

ANGEL: Hey, Fred. You wanna help me look in the office?

FRED: Sure. (to Cordy) Excuse us.

(...)

ANGEL: That could've been a disaster. Hi. Welcome back, you're safe. By the way, there's a green demon right behind you.

FRED: Don't you think we should tell her? I mean we do live in a world of demons and icky things. She's bound to find out.

ANGEL: Well, yeah, sure, but I mean let's be smart. I want her to remember who I am before I freak her out with the whole undead, drinks blood part of my resume.

FRED: Angel, aren't you curious about why she's back?

ANGEL: I hadn't even— I was just so happy to see her. Why is she back?

FRED: I don't know. But if Cordy's been where I think she has, anything's possible.

(Fred & Angel wave at her from behind the office window)

CORDELIA: OK, that's creepy. (sees a bladed weapon on the floor) So's that.

(Angel and Fred come back into the lobby from the office.)

ANGEL: Couldn't really find anything of yours in the office.

CORDELIA: That's OK. (phone rings) Shouldn't someone answer that?

ANGEL: The machine'll get it. You really don't have to be afraid.

CORDELIA: Easy for you to say. I don't know that. Don't know you, this place...

CORDELIA (V.O. ANSWERING MACHINE): Hi. You've reached Angel Investigations. We can't come to the phone right now, but if you leave your name and number, we'll get back to you as soon as possible. Thanks! And wait for the beep. (beep)

CORDELIA: But that voice— Oh, my God! It's me. I work here.

MURRAY (V.O.) Uh, yeah, this is Murray, down at the spa. Listen, it's after midnight, and uh, you better get down here. That demon broad came back. Looks like she's gonna try and hatch her blood-sucking little—

(Angel coughs and gestures subtly that Fred should get the phone before Cordelia hears too much and gets frightened.)

FRED: (grabs phone) We're here. Uh-huh. OK. We'll be right there.

CORDELIA: Did—he say demon broad?

FRED: Yeah. His, um, wife. It's an ugly divorce case thing. You know, private eye stuff. (to Angel) I should get Charles and terminate it before the situation multiplies.

ANGEL: OK. I'll just stay here and help Cordelia settle in.

FRED: Ok.

ANGEL: So—

CORDELIA: I wanna go home. Know where I live?
