The Price

While Angel tries to deal with the loss of his son, the hotel is invaded by silicone, slug-like creatures that invade and dry up their human hosts. The parasites are apparently the by-products of the dark magics that Angel conjured to try to find his son. As a result, Angel, Cordelia, Groosalugg, Gunn, Lorne, and Fred become trapped within the massive building to prevent the creatures from escaping into the world. But when Fred herself becomes infected, Gunn is forced to slip out of the building and turn to the angry and reclusive Wesley for help. During the fighting, Angel learns from a possessed Fred about a prophecy where a vicious killer, called the Destroyer, is coming into the world. Meanwhile, at Wolfram & Hart, Lilah and Gavin once again quarrel with each other over their handling of Angel and whether to help him or not.
