Characters

• Lorne: Lorne gets a job at a club in Las Vegas where he'll resume his old position as a singer and seer. He moves out of the house and leaves only a copy of his CD with Angel.

• Wesley and Lilah: After a great deal of nagging, Wesley and Lilah wind up sleeping together, but Lilah still has no effect on him. He tells her to get out shortly after the sex.

• Cordelia: Skip comes to Cordelia and tells her that she's a higher being that has outgrown her plane of reality. She accepts this new position and (literally) ascends into a different reality.

• Angel: While waiting for Cordelia, Angel is confronted by Connor, who fight him until he is knocked unconscious. When he wakes up, he finds himself restrained in a steel crate. Connor and Justine push the crate into the ocean, where they expect him to stay for an eternity.

Referbacks

• 3x11 - Birthday: Skip acted as Cordelia's demon guide through her past and potential future. He was the one through which the Powers spoke to her and eventually was the one who gave her the demon powers that allowed her to control her visions.

Cordelia: Yeah. Skip. You tend to remember your demon guides.

Allusions and References

• Midnight Train to Georgia: Gladys Knight and the Pips' biggest hit was "Midnight Train to Georgia" off their tenth album, Imagination. The Motown song is from the perspective of the girlfriend of a failed musician who moves back home to Georgia after languishing in Los Angeles. She decides to go with him, despite being secure with her place in the world.

Lorne: Leaving on the midnight train to Georgia. Actually it's the nine eighteen flight to Vegas tomorrow, but where is the poetry in that?

• Cats: Cats is a musical composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber. It has the distinction of being one of the longest running Broadway musicals, but is often criticised for its lack of central storyline. The musical instead progresses through a series of vignettes sung from the perspective of alley cats.

Angel: Vampire. You're not in Cats.
