Angel: Season Three

Season two ends with Angel and his merry band (which included Cordelia, Wesley, Gunn, Winifred and Lorne) happily restored to our dimension after a harrowing time in Lorne’s home dimension of Pylea. The team goes right back to work “helping the helpless,” who in this season happens to be everyone on staff. Cordelia has absorbed Doyle’s (from Season One) visions, and Wolfram and Hart have zeroed in on her as a way to get to Angel.

The trouble keeps on hitting close to home as Darla (whom Angel set on fire in Season Two) returns with an impossible surprise -- she’s pregnant with Angel’s child. Aside from the fact that it is physically impossible for vampires to procreate, Darla and Angel’s child has a soul. Once Darla discovers that the only way to save/birth her son is to stake herself in the heart, Angel Investigations begins to revolve around the baby.

Wolfram and Hart, mad to get their hands on the child, put together a SWAT team lead by a vampire hunter who was mystically frozen back in the 1700s. He is brought back to life (and to LA) to hunt down Angel to attempt to satisfy his own personal vendetta against our hero. In 1794, Angelus (Angel without the soul) killed Holtz’s wife and infant son before turning his young daughter into a vampire, forcing Holtz to kill his own child. Holtz spends half the season tracking and attempting to kill Angel, then manages to kidnap the child and take him to the Quor-toth dimension.

As the door to the Quor-toth dimension is almost impossible to open once, and literally impossible to open again from our side, Angel is forced to deal with the fact that he’ll never see his child again. Throughout the season, however, his friendship and admiration for Cordelia grows into a deeper feeling. She spends most of the season trying to get Angel to notice that she feels the same way. As the season ends, Connor (Angel’s son) returns from the Quor-toth dimension as a disgruntled 16-year-old with Holtz’s grudge against Angel; and, Cordelia and Angel make plans to meet up and discuss their feelings, but neither of them make it. Engaging and addicting, this is the best season of Angel yet!
