Wesley[]

Wesley enjoys Fred's company in the afterlife until he notices it is an illusion. He asks the fake Fred to stop pretending to be her. She tells him someone wanted to reveal the truth to him at the moment it would hurt him most, but she knew he would be smarter than this.

The fake Fred explains the Senior Partners want a signed contract, despite Wesley's dead. He has to go back to do what they want, be at Angel's side once again, or they'll drop him in the place farthest from Fred. Wesley argues they will do it to him anyway, but the fake Fred says he will still do it because he has the slightest hope he and Fred will be reunited at the end.

As Wesley's is dressed with a suit and glasses, the fake Fred opens a slit to Los Angeles and instructs Wesley to tell Angel is was his fault. Wesley sees the fall of Los Angeles and says Angel will find a way to destroy them, and Wesley will personally find the fake and ring her neck. The fake says it would be a neat trick in his condition, and Wesley understands he is incorporeal now.

As Wesley walks away, the fake Fred says they got him, but he is noble and will do the right thing with or without a reward. A voice answers they can only hope, because Wesley is the key for them to win.
