Angel: Season Four

Angel and Cordelia are missing; Wesley has been exiled from the team for kidnapping Connor in the last season after learning that Angel was destined to kill his son; Connor is out of control; and Gunn and Fred are at their wits end trying to control Connor’s rage. Little do Gunn and Fred know that Connor is the reason Angel is missing, and his “rage” isn’t about people not telling him what they know about Angel’s whereabouts, it’s about killing any vampire who might be able tell Fred and Gunn what he did.

The whole time Connor is derailing the group’s attempts to locate Angel, Wesley is keeping Holtz’s protégé locked in his closet during the day and combing the nearby ocean with a metal detector at night. After a summer’s worth of searching, Wesley locates Angel’s tomb, releases him and returns him to Angel Investigations. When Angel regains his strength he starts searching for Cordelia. The search is fruitless, as nobody has even a lead or idea as to what could’ve happened to her. She’s returned to Earth with no memory of her life after spending the summer as a Higher Power.

The only person Cordelia feels safe with is Connor, so she moves in with him. The gang has much more to deal with than Cordelia’s memory however, as a Beast plots to blot out the sun (effectively making Los Angeles a party for all manner of demons), while destroying everything in its path -- good or evil. After taking out Wolfram and Hart, the gang realizes the Beast is being controlled, and the only person who has any knowledge of the Beast is Angelus (Angel’s evil self).

Angel Investigations brings Angelus into the mix and after narrowly escaping mass murder at his hands, put him back in time for Cordelia to give birth to her and Connor’s child then fall into a coma. The god-being which resulted from Connor and Cordelia’s union is defeated and season four comes to a close with an interesting offer from a reconstituted Wolfram and Hart. Season four is the strongest season of the bunch stylistically, but is sorrier for the loss of Cordelia.
