At the office, Wesley tells Angel that returning to work won't be easy. He's going to have to engage his co-workers, let them know he appreciates them - and make some coffee. Later, Gunn, Wesley and Cordelia clean up the office. When Angel comes down and asks Cordelia how she is, he gets a chilly reception - she tells him they're not friends. Then she has a vision, of guys in blue robes pulling two kids from a car in Lafayette Park, and a statue of a bird.

Angel, Gunn and Wesley race to the park, only to find an empty car. Then they hear screams, and find a woman being attacked by a vampire in a green robe. Angel slays it, but the robe was the wrong color - they're not sure it's what Cordelia saw in her vision.

Back at the office, Cordelia gets a visit from an old friend - Harmony. They haven't seen each other since Sunnydale High blew up. She says she just got out of a bad relationship, and she's come to L.A. to check out the nightlife. Cordelia invites her home with her.

As Cordelia and Harmony reminisce about high school days, Cordelia explains that despite being rich, powerful and popular in high school, she's happier now. Harmony says she's happy now, too, but right then, she doesn't look it. She says she's hungry; when Cordelia turns her back to order pizza, Harmony turns vampire - for just a moment.

Later that night, Harmony sneaks into Cordelia's bedroom and sits on the edge of her bed. But Cordelia's ghost Dennis slams the door, waking Cordelia up. Harmony says she couldn't resist the temptation. Cordelia thinks Harmony means she's a lesbian, but doesn't say it explicitly. She tells Harmony she's okay with that; Harmony thinks Cordelia knows she's a vampire, and is actually okay with that. Harmony asks her to keep it quiet.

The next day, Cordelia calls Willow to find out why nobody told her Harmony was coming to L.A., and Willow tells Cordelia that Harmony is a vampire - not a lesbian - and that she's very dangerous. Then Harmony appears, and Cordelia hangs up the phone.

Worried, Willow calls the office and tells Angel about Harmony. He and Wesley race to Cordelia's and burst in, stake and crossbow drawn, to find Harmony - painting Cordelia's toes. Cordelia says she knows, and it's okay.

Wesley says Cordelia is needed at the office, and Harmony tags along. There, Wesley and Angel research the symbol that was on the robe of the vampire they slayed in the park. Then Gunn arrives with information - there have been a lot of vampire abductions in the last month, but it's been quiet, because no bodies have turned up. Wesley suggests this means these people aren't being eaten, but turned to vampires. Somebody is recruiting.

That somebody is Doug Sanders, a multilevel marketing vampire. He's sharing his plan with an auditorium full of vampires in different colored robes. The plan is, turn two humans into vampires, and any others you get become food.

Back at the office, Cordelia finds the logo from the robe on the Department of Justice website. The logo was used as part of a multi-level marketing scam by a self-described life coach who disappeared - named Doug Sanders.

Then Harmony spills coffee on the keyboard, frying it, and Wesley orders her away. She's frustrated; she doesn't have anyone who understands what she's going through. Cordelia says she knows somebody who understands pain, and takes her to The Caritas, where she butchers "The Way We Were." But the Host can't help her with guidance - she's already on her path, and Cordelia is her guide.

Then Wesley, Angel and Gunn arrive. They want Cordelia to drive around town with them to see if they can find the bird from her vision. Harmony wants to tag along - she's realized her path, and it's being one of the good guys.

Soon they find the bird, and split up to scout the building - with Harmony assigned to watch the car. Pulling Cordelia aside, Angel tells her that Harmony will to turn on her. But Cordelia thinks she can help. They send her inside to scout the place, and meet them out back. She does meet them out back, and brings them inside - and then turns on them. "I belong with them," she says.

The fight begins, with everyone slaying vampires. But as Cordelia is about to slay Harmony, she spares her - and tells her to get out of her city.

The next day at the office, Wesley asks Angel in to see him. He tells Angel that he's got to give Cordelia space and time for the healing process. But Angel's a step ahead - he bought her new clothes. She couldn't be more thrilled.
