In this episode, Angel learns that during the impending Wolfram & Hart 75-Year Review, the firm is visited by one of the demonic Senior Partners.
The demon wears a ring with the power to transport to the firm’s hellish Home Office, which Angel steals with the aid of a magically protective glove.
However, her mother Francine refuses to pay the bill as she believes it is "impossible" for a third eye to grow out the back of a skull, despite the fact that it was she who approached them with the problem.
Angel turns to Lorne, who is having a busy night as Caritas is full of Wolfram & Hart lawyers wanting to have their destinies read.
Cordelia refuses to let him take it and grabs it off him, but Angel grows cold and deadly, and it is clear he is willing to use force to get the book back.

When he hits the ground, Angel puts on the ring, causing elevator doors to open in the foundation of the Wolfram & Hart building.
After passing through nether realms of darkness and fire, the elevator comes to a stop and its doors open - right back where they started.
The Wolfram & Hart exterior is an office building in downtown Culver City, located across the street from the main Sony Studios lot.
His reply - "I'm always dirty" - gives "insight into Lindsey, or perhaps a clear nod to the fact he doesn't lie to himself, either," West writes.
