Reunion


The “classicist” Drusilla, is extremely giddy to find herself once more becoming a “mother”. She goes on and on to Holland, Lindsey and for some reason, Lindsey’s landlord about how exciting it all is.

The land lady tells Angel as much and that Dru wants her child born near the stars and thoughtfully tells Angel that she tried to tell Dru that you can live your whole life in LA without actually seeing a *star*

But Dru wasn’t talking about celebrities. At a rooftop greenhouse, Drusilla is seen pulling up shades from the window to reveal the star ridden sky. Drusilla sets up shop for Darla to rise in a flower nursery, she doesn’t believe that she’s killed Darla at all, but has re-created her.

Holland enters with Lilah and compliments Dru’s looks, saying she’s positively glowing and tells her if there’s anything she needs, she knows where to find them. But Drusilla is good for the go, just a few more preparation she herself needs to make.


Cutting to later, Angel drops to the rooftop landing outside the greenhouse. He sees the box but this time Darla is not laying on top of the dirt. He begins to sift through it, clearing it away until Darla is revealed a few inches beneath, her face covered by a shroud. Angel lifts the shroud too look at her one last time before pulling out a stake and moves to kill Darla.

Luckily, Dru’s there to look out for her daughter. She slams him from behind with a shovel and he falls to the floor, dropping the stake. He gets up and Drusilla hits him again, saying that she saw him coming, the moon showed her.

As they fight though, Darla awakens, bolting upright and looking frantically about. Angel finally gets the upper hand on Dru and knocks her down, he quickly grabs the broken shovel handle and goes to stake Darla only to find the box empty. He looks around, but can’t find her. When he turns back, Darla grabs him by the throat and lifts him off the ground. Dru is pleased that Darla has awakened and is better, but this startles Darla and Angel uses the opportunity to get free of her grip. He shove her back and picks up the stake. Dru lunges at him and knocks him to the ground, not about to let anyone hurt her newest child.

Darla throws Angel across the greenhouse when he grabs her. She then does the same the Drusilla. As Angel and Darla crash through the windows out of the greenhouse, Dru goes after them and gets jumped on by an angry, confused Darla. Drusilla laughs.

Angel grabs Darla and throws her off of Drusilla. After some more fighting, Darla jumps off the roof. Angel looks around to see that Dru has left as well.

We find out that Drusilla left to go to Lindsey’s office at Wolfram and Hart, and is hiding in the shadows when Holland enters. He mentions an old wine and Dru shows herself, saying she knows of it, having had it before. Holland apologizes for not greeting her, he wasn’t aware she was there. He gives Lindsey a stern glare, which Lindsey shrugs off. He asks if everything went well, but Dru’s worried about her daughter, the building was quite tall. Lindsey reassures her that Darla is a survivor.

Dru says that Angelus wasn't happy, and Holland bristles slightly when she hears that Angel found them.
Dru also tells them, with a smile, that Angelus is on his way and he is very cross. Holland assures Lindsey and Dru that they've taken precautions against Angel and the only important thing to do it reunite Dru and Darla.

Just then the phone rings, an untagged vampire is loose inside the building. It’s Darla, still extremely disoriented. Dru throws her arms open wide and Darla grabs her hand, and they run out of the office.

On a crowded street, Darla is throwing Drusilla around and generally beating her up. Drusilla doesn’t block any of the blows or throw any. Darla picks Dru up and throws her into the street, when Dru gets up a car hits her. The driver gets out of the car anxiously but Drusilla rises again, completely unscathed but looking slightly dazed. Darla jumps towards Dru and slams her against a parked car. She wants to know why Drusilla made her into a vampire.

Drusilla tells her she thought Darla *wanted* to be a vampire. To be saved from death.

Darla softens as Dru starts to cry, and she hugs the brunette. Darla kills an annoying guy yelling at them to get out of the road. When Darla returns to Dru, Dru taps her on the nose and smiles. They decides to go shopping and walk off hand in hand down the street.

At a clothing store, Dru and Darla are trying clothes on. A phone rings and Drusilla looks amazed, she starts dancing saying she's ringing all over. She asks if Darla hears it too. Darla reaches into the bodice of Dru's dress and pulls out a cell phone. Dru smirks, she forgot about that.

Darla answers the phone, it's Holland. She assures him that she is back to her old self.


He knows the two gals have been off having a little fun, but suggests something bigger, like a massacre. Drusilla smiles, licking her lips while Holland guarantees them the full support of W&H.

Darla thanks him and hangs up, then smiles, thinking they need some shoes to match their new outfits.

She calls for a clerk, walking over to a woman who is injured, crawling on the floor away from them. Darla snaps her neck when she doesn’t help and groans about the lack of good help.

Cutting to Holland’s wine cellar, the party is interrupted by Dru and Darla. They immediately make everyone nervous

Darla explains that Holland’s wife invited them in and Drusilla licks her lips, saying she was very sweet. Holland pales. Darla tells them they’re more than happy to give W&H what they want, a massacre and she and Drusilla both change into vamp face.

Darla is angry at being used by W&H and begins ranting. Drusilla walks over to Lilah and caresses her face, saying it’s soft. When Lilah nervously mentions she moisturizes, Dru thinks it’s awfully thoughtful.

Drusilla says she can hear sirens, "they don't know if the world will be there in the morning." Lilah thinks that maybe the police are coming, but Lindsey knows better, saying Dru’s sensing that the building was originally a bomb shelter before converted to a wine cellar.

Dru continues talking about the terrified people huddled in masses. Holland nods, saying that’s probably what it was like, when Darla mocks that Drusilla is talking about now.

When Holland nervously says nobody’s going to die, Dru begins swaying back and forth behind him, he turns his head several times, confused and uncomfortable with her.

Darla comes and puts one arm around Dru (and one around Holland) and tells Dru they’re next place simply *must* have people cellar.

Angel arrives at Holland's and is invited in by Holland's dying wife. Drusilla senses him when he walks into the building, cooing “daddy’s home” but when he comes down, she frowns, "it's not daddy, it's never daddy."

Darla wonders mockingly if he came to punish them, to which Dru becomes enthusiastic, she’d like that very much, promising to be bad.

When he ignores her she pouts that he "soul sick" and not even thinking of his real family. She grabs a nearby man and jerks his head down, he’s only thinking of *them*

When Angel leaves the lawyers and Holland's employee’s at the mercy of Darla and Dru, she smiles leaning in towards the door quietly saying, "daddy."
