After Darla sacrifices herself to save her baby, Angel takes the newborn back to the hotel where he tries to be a good father to his child.

Plot
The gang returns with the baby after purchasing supplies for him to find the hotel a mess. Lorne announces he'll be moving in on account of Caritas being destroyed yet again. Although everyone adores the baby and wants to hold him, Angel is paternally attached to his son and holds him overprotectively, keeping everyone at bay. Angel struggles with parental duty when he cleans a cut on his son's face, while the rest of the gang plan to keep the baby safe from the inevitable attackers looking to steal and kill him. A demon barges into the hotel but is quickly killed by Gunn and Wesley. Angel realizes his son is crying because he needs to be changed and attempts to change the diaper on Wesley's desk. Back at the underground lair, Sahjhan complains about Holtz's refusal to kill Angel, but Holtz is content with his behavior. They discuss Darla's pregnancy and suicide, and Holtz goes on about his plans despite Sahjhan's insistence that Angel just be staked quickly to stick with the prophecies. Sahjhan's temper rises as he discovers that Holtz poisoned all of his hired demon minions. Holtz explains he doesn't need mercenaries but soldiers who believe in his cause.
While the Furies set up a mystical barrier around the Hyperion Hotel, Angel continues to care for his fussy child and Cordelia and Fred investigate the demon websites offering bounties for the baby.
