Welcome to Rewatching Angel, the part of the blog where I rewatch the Buffy the Vampire Slayer spin-off: Angel. Each Tuesday evening, you’re invited to join me as I attempt to rediscover what made me love these shows so many years ago.

Tomorrow

• Groosalug is concerned about Cordelia’s anxiety over Angel and Connor, so he makes her a soothing beverage made of mostly muddy water.
• How sweet.
• Angel gets back to the hotel and tells them he found Holtz and didn’t kill him.
• Meanwhile, Connor cradle’s Holtz’s dead body.
• Justine makes Connor believe that Angel did this.
• Connor doesn’t want to kill Angel, but he does want to make him suffer.
• Angel and Cordelia try to pick out a room for Connor and discuss what it’ll be like for Connor to live there as a teenager.
• Lorne comes in and says the kid can have his room because he’s leaving.
• He’s gotten an offer from a friend who owns a club who needs a singer/seer.
• Lorne admits that the Connor factor is part of his decision.
• He says he loved that baby, he just wouldn’t turn his back on the kid anytime soon.
• Justine and Connor take Holtz out for burial, but Connor doesn’t want to bury him, in case he turns.
• So Connor beheads Holtz first, then they burn him.
• Lilah finds Wesley in a bar.
• Still offering him a position with the Wolfram & Hart.
• Gunn and Fred come back and let Angel know about Connor overhearing them and that he ran off to get to Holtz.
• Connor then walks in and claims that Holtz wasn’t there.
• Angel doesn’t realize that Holtz is dead, thinking that he left town instead.
• He gives Connor the letter from Holtz and the kid agrees to give living at the hotel a try.
• The next day, Connor tells Angel he wants to learn to fight like he does.
• I kind of feel like Connor wants to learn what Angel knows so he can learn how to take him down.
• Cordelia goes home and is greeted by a pretty depressed Groo.
• He’s come to realize that he’s not the one Cordelia loves… Angel is.
• Lorne stops by Angel’s room to say good-bye and tells him that the feeling is mutual…
• The way Angel feels about Cordelia, that’s pretty much exactly how she feels about him.
• Cordelia realizes that Groo is right, so he gets his things and leaves.
• Angel and the gang take Connor to see an action movie at the drive-in.
• But they’re interrupted by commandos from Wolfram & Hart.
• Inside a van, Linwood and Gavin watch Angel and Connor fight the commandos.
• Angel spots the van and pulls Linwood out.
• Connor tells Linwood to stay away from his father.
• When Linwood calls him Stephen, he declares his name to be Connor.
• Cordelia’s at home, struggling with her feelings.
• She has a vision of herself, confirming her feelings.
• So she calls Angel and asks him to meet her.
• Everyone notices that Angel is happy… but not perfectly happy, right?
• Wes and Lilah had the sex… and then he kicks her out.
• She tells him, “Don’t be thinking about me when I’m gone.”
• He responds, “I wasn’t thinking about you while you were here.”
• Angel arrives at the place Cordelia mentioned on the phone, but Cordy’s dealing with traffic.
• And then Cordy does her part-demon glowy thing and time stops.
• Angel walks back to his car, assuming he’s stood up, and there’s Connor…
• …Who immediately goes on the offensive.
• Cordy gets out of her car and is greeted by Skip.
• Remember him? He’s the demon that granted Cordelia her newfound powers earlier this season.
• He tells her that she’s outgrown this dimension and she’s become a higher being.
• Connor uses a taser to knock out Angel, the uses a flashlight to signal Justine, who’s in a boat just off the shore.
• Cordelia’s words to Skip are the same as what she saw herself saying in her vision.
• Her real vision was warning her that she was about to leave this world.
• On the boat, Angel wakes up in a metal box.
• Connor’s plan is to seal him in and drop him into the ocean.
• Cordelia accepts her fate and ascends.
• Angel tells Connor he loves him and descends.
• Back at the hotel, Fred and Gunn are left wondering where everyone went…
• Body count: No one died!
