Episode Recap

Gunn finds out that a demon war will start unless one of the leader's head is recaptured from Rome. So, Angel and Spike travel to Rome to retrieve the head. They find out that Buffy is dating their archnemisis "The Immortal". Flashbacks are shown as to why Angel and Spike hate "The Immortal". He slept with Darla and Drusilla.

Anyways, they find the head. They visit Buffy's apartment and find Andrew there. He said that he lives with Buffy and Dawn, and Buffy went to a club with "The Immortal" They go to the club and see Buffy. They get distracted and leave the demon head on a table (it's in a bag) and it is taken from them by an ugly demon and some minions. Angel and Spike fight the minions and accidently hit each other, too. The demon gets away. Angel and Spike argue over how "if they had their resources", that they would be able to find the head. Spike points out that there is a Wolfram&Hart in Rome.

Meanwhile, Fred's parents show up, and just as Wesley is about to say what happened to her Illyria walks in the door looking and acting exactly like Fred. She later explains that she wanted to spare Fred's parents of any pain, and that she has the power to change her appearance. After they leave, Wesley yells at Illyria and tells her not to do that again.

Angel and Spike go to Wolfram&Hart and are greeted by a very friendly, Italian vampire woman and she tells them that they have to give the demon money for the head. She says that they do ransom things like that all the time. So, Angel and Spike go to make the drop. They fight the minions with the demon and finally the demon gives them the bag in exchange for the money. They open it and in it there is a bomb counting down to 3,2,1...

Duh! It explodes. The camera shows everything blows to bits. Spike and Angel walk through a gate and Spike is complaining about his ruined jacket that he ripped off a dead slayer. They go back to Wolfram&Hart(Rome) and the Italian lady tells them that they always do that to Americans. Spike and Angel go back to Buffy's apartment(for the 5th time!) and Andrew tells them to let her move on, while he leaves the apartment with two hot chicks. They decide to go home.

Illyria confronts Wesley and asks him why he doesn't like her as Fred. He replies "because she isn't". He tells her to be anything else, but don't be Fred.

When they get there, they find the head on Angel's desk with a note signed by The Immortal. They are very outraged because they hate the guy. They finally decide to realize that they were wrong before by saying that Buffy was under some kind of spell to be going out with The Immortal. They decide to try and get over her.
