She's been hiding in her and Lindsey's home due to the mystical protections he set up to keep off the Senior Partners' radar. However, ''because'' these protections are the only thing shielding her from their wrath, it also means Eve's been trapped inside for weeks; she can't even flee town, otherwise the Senior Partners will mystically lock onto her the moment she steps outside the door. She's finally forced to flee anyway after the Senior Partners zero in on her location anyway (either because Hamilton was following Angel and Spike, or because they realized logically there was only one possible place where she could be hiding).

* DramaticIrony: While it's not explicitly pointed out, as with last episode, the audience knows that history's repeating itself with the Fang Gang's fury at Gunn for his betrayal. They're ostracizing him and hating him and doing to him what he and the rest of them ironically did to Wesley 2 years earlier. But thanks to the memory wipe at the end of Season Four, only the audience knows this (as does Angel, though he's obviously not going to point it out).

Angel, Spike and Gunn find the exiled Lindsey in a terrifying suburban hell dimension and try to bring him back to Earth to interrogate him on what he knows about the Senior Partners' plans for the upcoming apocalypse. Meanwhile, a well-dressed, deadly stranger named Marcus Hamilton infiltrates Wolfram & Hart looking for Eve, and a grief-stricken Wesley withdraws into drinking while trying to 'domesticate' the evil but confused Illyria to the ways of Earth.

Lorne reads a bartender at Caritas, then admits that he's sick of being cheerful all the time. He says that he's stopped telling people the truth and instead has been telling them what they want to hear. He started drinking a lot after Fred got sick, but now he's realized that he's not accomplishing anything, so he's going to go back to Wolfram & Hart and pretend that he can help.
Angel and Spike take Eve to the firm, where Angel beefs up security, then goes to see Gunn. Angel tells him what's going on and asks if he has jurisdiction to protect Eve. Gunn says that he doesn't know and Angel reminds him that he paid a big price for the legal knowledge he has, so he should put it to good use. Gunn finally tells him that as CEO of Wolfram & Hart, he can invoke an order which will let him take care of Eve. Angel tells Gunn that he knows he feels bad about what happened to Fred, and he should, but he has to take every chance he gets for atonement.
In his apartment, Wesley has a dream about Fred, in which she tells him, "This is only the first layer. Don't you wanna see how deep I go?" When he wakes up, Illyria is with him. They both note that they don't like the world much and she wonders why he's still in it. Back at the firm, Eve isn't too confident that the Senior Partners won't find her, even though Angel assures her that she's under his protection. He asks her about her job and she replies that she's "a child of the Senior Partners, created to do their bidding." Angel notes that she's immortal and asks what the Senior Partners are. Eve claims not to know, saying that she's on a need-to-know basis with them. She says that Lindsey could have given them more info, but they lost their chance. She adds that he knew more about Angel than Angel does, but the Senior Partners sent him to a hell dimension instead of killing him.

Wesley and Illyria continue talking about nothing, though she does mention the dimension that contains nothing but shrimp (see "Superstar" and "Triangle", which referenced a world without shrimp), noting that she "tired of that one quickly". Lindsey begins his day in suburbia again, picking up the paper and skateboard as he did before. The Camaro arrives and Gunn has to
At Wolfram & Hart, Eve worries that Lindsey won't come back. Lorne reminds her that no one can harm her, since she's under Angel's protection. Eve says that the Senior Partners won't honor that arrangement. Lorne tells her that no one can get into the building, but a security alarm goes off. The man in the suit arrives, kills a guard, and heads for Angel's office.
Back in suburbia, Lindsey tries to kick Angel, Spike, and Gunn out as they tell him that he's coming with them. Angel notes that he's wearing a necklace, so he pulls it off, breaking the spell. Lindsey tells Angel to make it quick, thinking he's going to kill him, but Angel says he's not going to kill him. Before the guys can leave, Lindsey's wife arrives and opens fire with an uzi submachine gun. Angel sends Spike, Gunn, and Lindsey to the car, then starts fighting Lindsey's wife. Unfortunately, the Camaro is gone. An ice cream truck pulls up and the driver starts shooting them, soon joined by a mailman. Spike, Gunn, and Lindsey head back to the house. Lindsey's son joins in the gunfight as Gunn tries to figure out where the Wrath is. He suggests trying to get out through the basement, but Lindsey doesn't want to go back down there. The four guys head to the basement anyway.
At the Wolfram & Hart offices, Harmony grabs the guy in the suit and tries to kill him by breaking his neck, but isn't strong enough. Eve and Lorne take off for the elevator, but the man easily throws Harmony off, and heads after them. In the dungeon-like basement, Spike finds a pile of hearts, which Lindsey says are his. Angel finds a huge flaming furnace and thinks it might be the Wrath. Lindsey notes that "he" is coming, and the guys see a demon approaching. Angel and Spike fight the demon and start to head for the furnace. Gunn puts on Lindsey's necklace and says that he's doing "what needs to be done." Angel refuses to leave him behind, but Gunn says, "You don't make the rules here. Wolfram & Hart does. If one leaves, one has to stay. A void is impossible." Angel realizes that Gunn came along because he knew about this and wanted to do something to atone for Fred's death. Angel, Spike, and Lindsey head through the furnace, and once the gate closes, Gunn has completely taken Lindsey's place.
Lorne and Eve run to Angel's garage and have trouble matching up a set of keys to a car. They finally make a match, but before they can drive off, a portal opens above them and Angel, Spike, and Lindsey land in the car. Eve is thrilled to see Lindsey, and the five of them start to go back inside. Lorne starts to warn Angel about the guy in the suit, but he realizes that Gunn hasn't returned. Angel tells him that they left him behind, despite their past agreement to never leave someone behind. The man in the suit arrives and Angel notes that, as Lorne said, he is well-dressed.
Angel tries to convince the man in the suit that Eve is under his protection, but he pulls out her contract and has her sign it. He introduces himself as Marcus Hamilton, the gang's new liaison to the Senior Partners. Eve has just signed over some privileges, her immortality, and her duties to him. Angel notes that Eve said that she was going to die; she notes that now she will. Hamilton tells Angel that the Senior Partners are 100% behind him, then says that he's happy to be a part of their team now.
Meanwhile, Illyria and Wesley hang out on the roof of Wesley's building looking at the lights of Los Angeles at night and keep talking about nothing. In Angel's apartment, Lorne pulls bullets out of Angel, and next Spike's back as Lindsey and Eve cuddle, happy to be back together. Lindsey wonders how Gunn will handle the suburbia hell, gloating that he's out of there. Angel tells Lindsey that just because he released him from the suburbia hell dimension, Lindsey is not free to leave and he will go into the holding facilities of Wolfram & Hart for the time being, after he tells Angel and the group what he knows about the Senior
