ACT ONE
Flashback of episode "Not Fade Away". ANGEL convinces his team that they must take out every member of the CIRCLE OF THE BLACK THORN in a defiant and probably futile stand against the SENIOR PARTNERS of WOLFRAM & HART. He tells his team to make the most of what may be their last day on Earth: GUNN visits his old neighborhood. WESLEY tends to the wounded ILLYRIA. LORNE spends some time onstage; SPIKE performs poetry at an open mic, and ANGEL visits his son, CONNOR.
When night falls, the team divides and sets out to eliminate the members of the BLACK THORN. GUNN kills the members of SENATOR BRUCKNER’s demonoid goons. SPIKE destroys some demons while protecting a baby. Meanwhile, ILLYRIA easily destroys IZZY when she ambushes him as he's are getting into a car on a side street after leaving a local restaurant. LINDSEY is shot and killed by LORNE. ANGEL kills HAMILTON.
At the mansion residence of CYVUS VAIL, WESLEY gets killed by Vail, one of the Senior Members. He dies in Illyria’s arms, who appears as FRED. FRED morphs back into ILLYRIA, smashing Vail’s head into nothingness.
ANGEL escapes, meeting up with SPIKE and a mortally wounded GUNN in an alley.
GUNN: Any word on Wes?
ANGEL and SPIKE shake their heads. ILLYRIA arrives.
ILLYRIA: Wesley's dead.
ANGEL, SPIKE and GUNN react.
ILLYRIA (CONT'D): I'm feeling grief for him. I can't seem to control it. I wish to do more violence.
The gang prepare to fight the army that is coming for them.
ANGEL: Let's go to work.
ANGEL swings his sword and the gang begin their fight with the army.
ANGEL beheads two demons that have advanced for him, stabbed three to death while kicking and punching three others combined. ANGEL keeps on fighting each demon that comes his way.
Enraged and ready to fight, ILLYRIA fights her demons with full fury. She kills four of them whether it's by snapping their necks or smashing a hole in their chests. Nevertheless, demons continue to challenge ILLYRIA as well.
SPIKE kills two demons by snapping their necks, but he has to dodge blows that demons send to him, and SPIKE kicks three demons and they all land on the ground.
GUNN doesn't have much luck with the demon army provided by Wolfram and Hart. He manages to kick one demon to the ground, but three get the upper hand against GUNN and prepare to finish him off. SPIKE notices.
SPIKE: Gunn.
SPIKE stabs a demon, which drops dead to the ground, and SPIKE punches one demon and kicks two others to the ground, sparing GUNN. GUNN appears to be relieved.
GUNN: Thanks, man.
SPIKE: That's what makes us a team, mate.
Within two grueling hours Wolfram and Hart's army begin to gain the upper hand in the fight, until ILLYRIA notices an orb, stone in texture and emerald in the center.
ANGEL, SPIKE and GUNN also notice the orb where they're standing.
SPIKE: I wonder how that orb managed to appear out of the clear blue.
ANGEL: Well, let's find out.
ILLYRIA picks up the orb. It begins to glow.
GUNN: Does it -
ILLYRIA: I think...I can trap all the evil we're battling...in this orb!
ILLYRIA throws the orb at the damaged building of Wolfram and Hart. ANGEL, SPIKE and GUNN are watching what is happening. The orb creates a large green portal. The gang notice that all evil that they were fighting is being swallowed into the portal.
SPIKE: Looks like the battle's ending before it can begin!
ANGEL, SPIKE, ILLYRIA and GUNN grab each other's hands bracing themselves as the wind gets more violent and all demons and things Wolfram and Hart, living or dead, are being sucked into the portal provided by the orb.
By the time all the evil has been swallowed inside the portal, the portal disappears, and the building of Wolfram and Hart crumbles into the ground. ANGEL, SPIKE, ILLYRIA and GUNN look around at each other, still on edge.
ANGEL: We did it.
SPIKE: We won.
GUNN: And it’s a good thing too.
ANGEL: We destroyed Wolfram and Hart.
ILLYRIA: But all those lives that were lost along the way.
ANGEL: Doyle, Cordelia, Fred and Wesley to name a few.
ILLYRIA looks at ANGEL.
ANGEL: Fred is fused within you, isn’t she?
ILLYRIA: Not really, no. I had to appear as Fred so that Wesley could die peacefully.
ANGEL nods sadly.
GUNN: Well, Wolfram and Hart is destroyed, and we won the big battle. Angel, what do you think we should do now?
SPIKE: Yes, Angel. What will we do now?
ANGEL looks up at the sky, hoping for a great future.
WHITE OUT
SPIKE (O/S): Angel? Angel? Hey! Angel!
CUT TO: ANGEL’S ROOM- ANGEL INVESTIGATIONS HQ-DUSK
A text that reads THREE MONTHS LATER flashes across the screen.
ANGEL opens his eyes and finds that SPIKE is looking at him.
SPIKE: Are you awake?
ANGEL: Spike. How long have you been here?
SPIKE: Three minutes almost. Maybe longer if you’d slept any later.
ANGEL: Sorry.
ANGEL gets out of his bed.
ANGEL: How’s everybody?
SPIKE: A-OK. Lorne’s making preparations to go to Arizona to visit an old friend. He said he’ll only be staying for a little bit. He’ll be back in no time.
ANGEL: I hope so.
SPIKE: Gunn has finally made a full recovery. Harmony seems to be doing okay.
ANGEL: Harmony?
SPIKE: Yeah. Harmony.
ANGEL: I fired her three months ago.
SPIKE: Well, I could tell her -
ANGEL: Don't worry about it. It's not like she's gonna cause trouble anyways. Now what about the others?
SPIKE: Illyria is still grieving for Wesley. She seems to be developing human emotions.
ANGEL: Is she okay?
SPIKE: I hope so. The last thing we want is for Illyria to destroy us with her new human emotions.
ENTER CONNOR.
ANGEL: Connor?
CONNOR: Did you have a nice sleep dad?
ANGEL: Yes. Yes, I did.
CONNOR: That’s good.
BEAT. The moment seems a little awkward.
SPIKE: I’ll leave you two alone.
SPIKE EXITS.
CONNOR: Three months had passed us as if it was just one week. Just like that.
ANGEL: I know.
CONNOR: All you’ve been doing for the past three months is sleep and patrol. Like some evil could return at any moment.
ANGEL: They might.
CONNOR: I know. But I have a point here, don't you think?
Cut to: DARK ROOM – ANGEL INVESTIGATIONS - DUSK
ILLYRIA is sitting alone in a corner. She has been lost in her thoughts and sudden human emotions since WESLEY died.
ILLYRIA: All these emotions...they're overwhelming. I can't seem to control them. Three months have passed and I'm still feeling grief. I cannot understand my sudden humanity! I don't understand any of this!
LORNE (O/S): Nobody does, sweetie.
ILLYRIA looks and sees LORNE.
LORNE (CONT'D): And I don't think anyone ever will.
ILLYRIA: And you dealt with these emotions I have developed?
LORNE: I believe so. When Wesley died, you seemed to developed the humanity here. Not to mention you're possessing a human.
ILLYRIA: I know that. I just don't understand why this pain isn't going away.
LORNE: That's the insane thing called grief. It takes weeks, maybe even longer for humans to cope with the grief within them.
ILLYRIA: But you're a demon.
LORNE: True, I am a demon. However, I can feel these human emotions just like a human would. The truth is, I've never seen an Old One with human emotions before if I've ever seen them.
ILLYRIA doesn't respond.
LORNE: No worries, Ancient One. I'm sure you'll overcome your developed emotions.
ILLYRIA: I hope your right because I do not know how much longer I can handle this.
LORNE nods, understanding.
CUT TO: MAIN ROOM- ANGEL INVESTIGATIONS HQ- DUSK
HARMONY is reading a magazine. SPIKE arrives and stares at HARMONY across the desk for a while. She notices this and puts down her magazine.
HARMONY: Spike.
SPIKE: Harmony. I need to talk to you.
HARMONY: Okay. Talk.
SPIKE: What happened which made Angel fire you three months ago?
HARMONY: What do you...who told you?
SPIKE: I don't know, um, Angel perhaps.
HARMONY: Well, um, it's none of your business!
SPIKE: I just asked.
HARMONY: What happened three months ago is between me, Angel, and no one else. Is that clear?
SPIKE: Well, I guess so.
HARMONY: There you go. So I need you to leave.
SPIKE: Fine. [EXITS;O/S] Who the bloody hell am I kidding?!
HARMONY rolls her eyes.
CUT TO: DARK ROOM- ANGEL INVESTIGATIONS HQ- NIGHT
ILLYRIA looks out of the window and sees the view of LA. ANGEL appears, standing by the doorway.
ANGEL: Illyria?
ILLYRIA turns around and sees ANGEL.
ANGEL: I’m sorry.
ILLYRIA: Sympathy. You're giving me sympathy.
ANGEL: You’re grieving, I understand. I’ve dealt with that before, but I’m a vampire.
ILLYRIA: But you have a soul.
ANGEL: Everyone here has a soul. Well, except for Harmony. She’s soulless.
ILLYRIA: Even me?
ANGEL: Yes. Even you.
ILLYRIA turns around and looks out the window.
ILLYRIA: At least I’m out of the anger phase of grief.
ANGEL: I can tell.
They hear loud banging noises coming from outside of the room. SPIKE enters the room, having a bit of a tantrum.
ANGEL: Spike. What happened.
SPIKE: Harmony. That’s what happened! That nasty little face acted all defensive when I asked why she got fired three months ago.
ANGEL: Well, you should've seen that coming, Spike. She wouldn't even
tell Lorne.
SPIKE: Truthfully, I saw it coming.
ANGEL: Well, with all said and done, everything’s going to be okay.
Suddenly, ANGEL, SPIKE and ILLYRIA turn when they hear the door slam shut. SPIKE tries to open the door, but it’s locked.
SPIKE: That’s just bloody brilliant!
ANGEL: What?
SPIKE: The door’s locked! Must be some idiot!
ILLYRIA: I’ll try the windows!
ILLYIRA tries to open the windows, but with no luck.
ANGEL: Illyria?
SPIKE: It’s looks like we’re trapped.
ANGEL: By who?
A yellow energy appears and hits ANGEL and SPIKE, followed by ILLYRIA, knocking them to the ground. The three hear an evil chuckle. Yellow energy wraps up ANGEL, SPIKE and ILLYRIA and makes them float in mid air.
SPIKE: I actually like gravity, thank you very much. Let me down!
ILLYRIA tries to break out of the energy, but no luck. The evil chuckle is heard again.
ANGEL: Believe it or not, I think we have a poltergeist.
The energy ties ANGEL, SPIKE and ILLYRIA together.
EVIL VOICE: This next hit will make you freaks dust away into nothingness.
SPIKE: We are definitely doomed.
The force field is preparing to hit ANGEL, SPIKE and ILLYRIA.
