As the members of Angel Investigations reassemble at the hotel offices after their fight with The Beast, Angel tries to contain his rage after seeing Cordelia and Connor make love, while Fred and Gunn reconcile, and Wesley finally decides to break off his passionate, but loveless fling with Lilah. But events change when Connor pays a visit to Wolfram & Hart where the indestructible Beast from Hell also visits and attacks, killing most of the staff including Gavin. Lilah manages to escape with a little of Wesley's help while he leads Angel, Gunn, and Fred into the locked-down offices to find Connor which gets worse when all the victims of the Beast become reanimated zombies out to kill.

The Fang Gang discusses the ways to escape the Wolfram & Hart building. Angel tells them about the White Room and has Fred over ride the automatic shutdown of the elevators. After a couple of failed attempts, Angel manages to remember the code and they are all transported to the White Room only to find they are too late. The Beast is already there draining energy from little girl conduit.

Angel asks how to get out. She is able to tell them that the answer is among them. As The Beast leaves her and starts to advance on the AI team, the little girl transports them all back to the hotel before she dies. In Angel's office, as Cordelia tells him of her relief that everyone is okay, Angel reveals he knows she and Connor slept together and orders her to take her new boyfriend and leave.

!!Tropes
* AbortedDeclarationOfLove: Well, Lilah [[CannotSpitItOut meant to tell]] Wesley ''something'' when they parted in the sewer...
* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: Lilah's first instinct after the world doesn't end is to rush to Wesley's flat, and she's visibly relieved to find him alive. Subverted when Wes still breaks up with her.
* BadVibrations: The Beast's big stomping feet.
* BetterToDieThanBeKilled: Wes agrees to kill Gunn if he becomes a ZombieInfectee and asks Gunn to do vice versa. Gunn's agreement is a bit too fervent for his liking.
* BigBlackout: Wolfram & Hart when the Beast arrives on the scene.
* BloodyHandprint: Plenty of these.
* BridalCarry: Wes carrying an injured Lilah.
* ButtMonkey: Gavin is working in the YouGetMeCoffee role for Lilah Morgan. Then he gets necksnapped, zombified, and [[OffWithHisHead his head cut off]] by Gunn who [[MercyKill finally takes pity on him]].
* CaptainObvious
-->'''Gunn:''' What the hell was that?
-->'''Wes:''' Zombies.
-->'''Gunn:''' Yeah, thanks for the newsflash, Captain Obvious.
** So why the heck did Gunn ask that in the first place?
* DeusExMachina: The Conduit teleports everyone out of the WhiteVoidRoom as the Beast stomps up to them, presumably as Angel's death is not in the Senior Partners' interest.
* DidTheEarthMoveForYouToo: The morning after sleeping together while the sky rained fire, Connor asks Cordy "Did the world end?"
* DisconnectedByDeath: Gavin calls the front desk on a security mook's radio. They tell him they're a bit busy right now, then start screaming as the Beast kills them.
* EverythingsDeaderWithZombies: The people killed inside Wolfram & Hart come to life as zombies, apparently as a last-ditch supernatural defense by the Senior Partners.
* EvilerThanThou: The Beast marches into Wolfram & Hart and slaughters everyone inside including the Conduit, nicely establishing the pecking order for the villains.
* ExecutiveSuiteFight
* EyeAwaken: Gavin and all the other NotQuiteDead people.
* GagEcho:
-->'''Lilah:''' (on the phone) Find that Beast, or I swear to God, I will...
-->'''Gavin:''' (whispers to Lilah) Boil you alive.
-->'''Lilah:''' (whispers to Gavin) Shut up! (to phone, slowly) Boil you alive.
* GetOut: Angel's last words to Cordy are to "take your boyfriend and get the hell out." Like the earlier "get the hell out of my house."
* GlassesAreSexy:
-->'''Lilah:''' I could wear the glasses again...
* GreyAndGrayMorality: Lilah's famous ShutUpKirk speech.
-->'''Wesley:''' There is a line, Lilah; black and white, good and evil.
-->'''Lilah:''' Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.
* HassleFreeHotwire: Fred hotwires the elevator. It's not clear [[OmnidisciplinaryScientist where she got the skills to do this]], though experimental physicists often have to build their own experimental equipment (a physics lab often looks like the cross between a car guy's garage and a MadScientist's laundry room).
* KilledOffForReal: Gavin Park, and the Conduit to the Senior Partners.
* LetsSplitUpGang: The Fang Gang do this while searching for Connor. Angel finds him on his own, while Wesley, Gunn and Fred are attacked by zombies.
* LockDown:
-->'''Lilah:''' The building automatically shuts down under full scale attack.
-->'''Wes:''' When you say "shuts down..."
-->''[Through the office's windows, metal shutters can be seen closing over the outside of the building.]''
-->'''Lilah:''' Windows, doors, [[AirVentEscape air vents]]. Nobody gets in or out.
* LovedINotHonorMore: Wesley uses this excuse to break up with Lilah, saying that he's got to choose a side. Lilah points out that Fred just happens to be on the side he chose.
* MakeWayForTheNewVillains: The Beast kills off the competition by wiping out the L.A branch of Wolfram & Hart.
* MercyKill: Gunn decapitates the zombie Gavin because he can't bear to see someone he knows in that state, even if it's someone he knows he hates.
* MoreDakka: Wes uses a grenade to slow down the Beast.
* ModestyBedsheet: Post-Coitus!Cordy.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Cordy's reaction after sleeping with Connor.
* NeckLift / NeckSnap: Gavin's death.
* NoMoreForMe: Lorne's reaction when the Gang suddenly teleport back into the Hyperion subverts this: he stares at his drink as if wondering what was in it, but the idea of not drinking any more almost certainly didn't cross his mind.
* NotSoDifferentRemark: PlayedForLaughs
-->'''Connor:''' What's a zombie?
-->'''Angel:''' It's an undead thing.
-->'''Connor:''' Like you?
-->'''Angel:''' No, zombies are slow-moving, dimwitted things that crave human flesh.
-->'''Connor:''' (smirking) Like you.
-->'''Angel:''' No! It's different. Trust me...
* OurZombiesAreDifferent: They seemingly exist as a security system for Wolfram & Hart. Standard RemovingTheHeadOrDestroyingTheBrain applies to kill them, but being bitten by one ''doesn't'' turn you into a zombie. It's unclear if anyone who dies in the building will become a zombie or if only Wolfram & Hart employees will, as the latter are the only ones who do die.
* PetTheDog: Lilah alerts Wesley to the fact that Connor's in danger, thus allowing the team to save him.
* PercussiveTherapy: After seeing Connor with Cordelia, Angel [[PunchAWall punches the door to the stairwell off its hinges]] and walks out, then we hear him doing the same to every other door he comes across.
* PhotographicMemory: How Angel remembers the [[MissingFloor lift button combination]] to get to the WhiteVoidRoom.
* RedHerring: [[spoiler:The term BigBad is used several times to refer to the Beast. It's revealed in later episodes that there's a GreaterScopeVillain out there.]]
* SecretUndergroundPassage: Lilah and Wes escape through a secret passage reserved for the top members of Wolfram and Hart.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Everyone in Wolfram & Hart -- Lilah is the [[SoleSurvivor only one to make it]].
* SingleStrokeBattle: Connor knocks out two Wolfram & Hart goons with one punch.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: Wesley/Gunn (mostly on the latter's side), and Angel with Cordelia.
* TheyWouldCutYouUp: Lilah cheerfully states she's going to do this to Connor...until [[BullyingADragon he knocks out her mooks and throws her against the wall]].
* VillainousDemotivator:
-->'''Lilah:''' Go downstairs, and [[DisconnectedByDeath check it out]]. [Gavin hesitates] Gavin, ask yourself this question -- what are you more afraid of, a giant murderous demon... or me?
* VillainsDyingGrace: The Conduit teleports the Fang Gang to safety right before it dies.
* VisualPun: Gavin searching frantically through a [[BringMyBrownPants shelf of toilet rolls]] for the escape exit. He still hasn't found it [[OhCrap when the Beast opens the door.]]
* WallCrawl: Gunn wonders how they're going to climb up the escape chute into Wolfram & Hart. Angel leaps into the air and clambers up the shaft, then chucks down a rope.
-->'''Gunn:''' Show off.
* WeCanRuleTogether: The Senior Partners want to make a deal with the Beast, who unfortunately for them isn't interested.
* WhiteShirtOfDeath:
** In this case the white ''sheet'' of death! All the dead Wolfram & Hart employees are clutching bloody paperwork.
** Averted by Lilah, who wears a white cardigan and survives. Barely.
* YouGetMeCoffee: With Lilah having taken over at Wolfram & Hart, Gavin has been reduced to this role.
