CORDELIA: I've been looking all over for you. Connor, what they said...you can't let it bother you.

CONNOR: I don't care what they say.

CORDELIA: Really? Is that why you retreated to the Fortress of Solitude?

CONNOR: It doesn't make sense.

CORDELIA: Freaking out over pregnancy's pretty much the M.O. with the gang around here.

CONNOR: Not them. You. All that stuff you said about Angelus. And Willow...she—she didn't open a gate to evil. She put back Angel's soul. I almost killed him.

CORDELIA: But you didn't. Angel's back. Everything worked out. Everything happens for a reason, even if it doesn't always seem that way.

CONNOR: How can you say that?

CORDELIA: Think about it. You sinking Angel to the bottom of the ocean. Getting kicked out of the house. Me not knowing who I was and coming to you for help. All of those moments and a million others led to this miracle.

CONNOR: But sending me down to the basement. I had the stake. What was the reason for that?

CORDELIA: I thought our baby was in danger, and all my instincts told me that killing Angelus was the only way to protect it.

CONNOR: But you were wrong.

CORDELIA: What's important is that when I needed help, you were there for me. Now I know I can trust you. Completely. No matter what. See? Everything happens for a reason. Connor, before our baby comes, I might ask you to do some things...for us. And I want you to remember, there's always a reason.

CONNOR: I'll remember.
