Lindsey opens the door to his office and is greeted by Drusilla sitting in his chair and Darla sitting on his desk.
Lindsey closes the door and the only four people to survive the wine cellar are alone. Darla assures Lindsey and Lilah that they are both safe from the vampires and that they left the two lawyers alive so that they could keep the line of communication with W&H open.
Darla wants power. Drusilla’s more or less along for the rid, laughing and making small comments from the background during the scene.

Later, at a complete dive where vampires and demons are fighting each other, Darla and Dru work their way into the circle and introduce themselves. The demon who just won the fight isn’t impressed and says he’s never of them. Dru, who’s standing behind him, rips off his ears. She makes a weighing gesture and looks down at them in questioning.
They now have the crowds attention.
Darla announces that she and Dru are the only game in town and that they are looking for the elite fighters in town, to join them
Among the crowd is a vampire in game face, wearing a hooded sweatshirt with a hood. It's Angel.
When he passes behind Drusilla, she senses him and starts to wander off of Darla’s reason for being there saying, “You’ll never be alone again” what Angel tells Darla before getting re-vamped. Darla begins to freak, but Dru continues, saying he’s watching her still. Darla looks around, but doesn’t see him. Dru says, he remembers when she "was warm." Darla snaps at her, telling her to shut up. She quickly finishes with the crowd and they leave.

Later, Darla and Dru exit a different bar. Drusilla pouts that she didn't like the bartender at all, his eyes got stuck on her fingers. She puts them in her mouth, licking them clean. Dru comments that Darla seems tense, and Darla tells her that creating a legion of demons is stressful.
Drusilla tells her "he won't leave" and Darla is getting real annoyed with the subject of Angel. Dru reflects that it doesn't matter how many soldiers they have, he'll still come. Darla claims to not care, she just wants to have fun and cause mayhem.
Drusilla senses that Darla misses Angel, "like a heartbeat." Darla angrily declares that she does not miss being human. The heartbeat was a symptom of a disease she's since been cured of.
When Darla sarcastically says Angel is probably "flogging himself in a church somewhere." Drusilla smiles, liking the "flogging" imagery, but scowls at the "church" part.
Dru stops suddenly, and says she sees fire. Darla assumes Drusilla is merely commenting her remarks about burning the city, but Dru continues on, talking about the pain, suffering , dancing flames and the music of screaming.
Darla turns towards her, it’s obvious Dru’s off in her own world somewhere.
Angel arrives at the rundown auto repair shop hosting Darla and Dru's tryouts and slides open the door. Several demons are inside, intending to audition. Angel drops the bag and arms himself with the ax as the demons stare at him.

Darla and Dru are walking towards and old auto repair shop.
Darla stops to recap what’s going to happen. Dru isn’t too concerned, but notes that she really likes the place, and that it smells of death. Darla tells her what she’s smelling is motor oil, but Dru still likes it, thinking it’s like a castle.
When Darla wonders which of the lawyers will be left alive, Dru notes that she likes Lilah, she’s wicked.

When Dru moves to open the door, she senses ‘little tin soldiers’ dead. When she slides the door open there’s bodies of the almost-army strewn about. Behind them, is Angel, sitting on a car and smoking. He drops the cigarette and we see a line of gasoline. It goes all the way to wear Darla and Dru are standing, and they go up in flames.
We know understand that Drusilla’s earlier vision of flames and screams was about Dru and Darla themselves.
They run away from the shop and Darla uses a sledgehammer to break a fire hydrant. They both get drenched in the water, and the flames go out.
Drusilla continues screaming and crying and Darla hugs her close, wondering who that was inside. It was Angel and it wasn’t Angelus.
