PAIGE: More Brussels sprouts, Angel?

ANGEL: No! Thank you, I’m full. Everything was... very good.

SETH: The roast was a little dry.

ANGEL: No. It was full of... roasty goodness.

PAIGE: I think we’re ready to try your brownies, Angel.

SETH: I’ll get the coffee.

(Both parents leave for the kitchen.)

RYAN: I didn’t like the Brussels sprouts. They were gross.

ANGEL: (to Stephanie) You seemed to like yours.

(Stephanie folds back her napkin, revealing a Brussels sprout hidden in it. Angel laughs and she hides it again.) ANGEL: (confidentially) I buried one in my mashed potatoes, too.

(The kids laugh.)

SETH: What are you laughing at?

STEPHANIE: Angel’s funny.

SETH: Yeah? He hides it well.

PAIGE: Look kids. See what Angel made for us? Hmm, it’s uhm – what’s your secret, Angel?

ANGEL: I use – uhm, chocolate. That’s why they’re brown. Which gives them their name – brownies.

SETH: No hot chocolate for you kids tonight. *This* is your treat tonight.

RYAN: Dad.

STEPHANIE: That’s not fair.

PAIGE: Kids. Shh. Company.

(Ryan's demon manifests)

PAIGE: Oh God, Ryan, what’s wrong?

ANGEL: Your son's possessed by a demon.

STEPHANIE: Ryan’s bad. Ryan’s always been bad.

SETH: Stephanie.

(Stephanie gets up and leaves.)

PAIGE: Baby, can you hear me?

ANGEL: Paige, listen to me – he’s okay.

PAIGE: What do you mean, he’s okay?

ANGEL: I had to get the demon to show itself first.

PAIGE: You did this to him?

ANGEL: The demon was already there, I just used the brownies to...

PAIGE: You put something in our food. You poisoned him? What were you thinking? I thought you were here to help us. You are *not* an angel.

SETH: Paige, it’s okay.

PAIGE: Seth, he did this to Ryan.

SETH: We both know that that is not true. What was wrong with Ryan has been wrong for a long time. Now you say you know how to help my son? Alright. What do you need?

ANGEL: A phone.
