In a flashback, vampire hunter Holtz is shown discovering that Darla and Angel have killed his family and turned his daughter into a vampire. A visit by the demon Sahjhan gives Holtz the chance to have the vengeance he thirsts for - he is brought forward two centuries to the present day.
Elsewhere, Wolfram and Hart are planning an attack on the Hyperion to capture the pregnant Darla. Unfortunately for them, they run into Holtz instead. Returning to pick up some scrolls which may help Darla give birth, Angel walks right into trouble.
Trivia: Sahjhan is pretty uncomplimentary about Britain when bringing Holtz up to date on world events - apparently all we amount to is "warm beer, boiled meat, and bad teeth." He also refers to the American idea of manifest destiny - the belief that it was fated that the early US settlers would conquer the whole of the continent.
Jack Conley, who plays Sahjhan, may well be familiar to Buffy viewers. He played amoral werewolf hunter Cain in season two episode Phases.
