Illyria goes to Angel at the Hyperion, where he is researching a demon, and tells him she is troubled. Illyria wonders why she's doing good, if she's not Fred, and whats in it for her. Angel says they do it because its the right thing to do. Illyria says they ask for money for their services, and Angel sheepishly says people have to eat and live somewhere.
