Lindsey finds himself drawn to Darla as her mental state deteriorates.

Angel, Gunn, Wesley and the Host are sentenced to death by the villagers. They are brought before the princess of Pylea, who they are shocked to discover is Her Royal Highness Cordelia. Soon, Cordelia discovers one of her duties as princess is mating with a creature called the Groossalugg.

As Darla goes through a difficult labour, Holtz pursues Angel.

Angel struggles with his jealousy of the Groosalugg and Cordelia's attraction to him; Gunn and Fred get captured by a tree monster.

Angel pursues Connor, who makes a new friend on the streets; something else comes through the portal from Quor-toth; Lilah approaches Wesley.

Holtz insists that Connor rejoins Angel; Justine learns Holtz is back; the Groosalugg realises the depths of Cordelia's feelings for Angel.

Lilah returns from the dead to offer Angel and his friends full ownership of Wolfram and Hart.
