Synopsis
Angel Juan leaves Los Angeles for New York to find out who he is apart from Witch Baby, the girl he loves. Heartbroken and angry, Witch Baby sinks into depression, and eventually follows him east. In New York she stays in the apartment of Charlie Bat, Weetzie's late father, whose ghost appears to her and helps with her search. She tracks Angel Juan through the city to a man named Cake, and tries to rescue him without being caught herself. When they find each other, he says he needs to stay longer, and she has to decide whether to accept that.
