After making love with Buffy earlier that night, Angel stumbles into the alley outside as his soul is ripped from him. When he shows up at the factory, Spike is surprised and Drusilla are stunned that the Judge cannot burn him—Angel has reverted to the evil Angelus. The three are pleased to be a "family" again. Meanwhile, Buffy wakes up to find Angel missing, and starts a desperate search for him. Eventually finding him back at his apartment, Angelus begins his torment of her by hitting her with numerous cutting remarks about the previous night.
