Angel and Spike travel to Rome with plans to rescue Buffy from their old nemesis, the Immortal; Fred's parents arrive at Wolfram & Hart in search of their daughter.

These are tough times in LA. As Angel urges Wesley to get rid of Illyria, she suffers a potentially cataclysmic physical breakdown and transports him back in time.

Angel will not help parents seeking help from Wolfram & Hart about their son's supernatural abilities when he realizes that the boy is actually his son.

Angel, Spike and Gunn track down Lindsay, hoping he has information on the senior partners' plans; a nearly invincible stranger infiltrates Wolfram & Hart looking for Eve.

Mourning Fred's death, Angel and his friends vow to find a way to bring her back, which leads to a confrontation with the ancient god Illyria, who now occupies Fred's body.

When an ancient sarcophagus exhales on her, Fred is at death's door. Angel and his friends need to figure out what's wrong with her if they are to save her.
