Cordelia didn't ascend to a higher plane because she was a good deserving soul, it was because she was a part of the plan all along. She explains why she couldn't be part of his life, then tries to convince him that killing an innocent is the wrong choice.Īfter Skip wakes up, trapped by a magical circle, Fred and Angel threaten him with the Sphere of the Infinite Agonies until Skip confesses Cordelia is not in control of her own body. However, a vision of Connor's dead mother Darla appears before him, claiming to be sent by the Powers. Connor rescues a young girl from a vampire attack, but then knocks her out and brings her, unconscious, to Cordelia, so that they can use her blood in the ritual. Angel eventually defeats Skip and hauls him back to his (Angel's) dimension.Ĭordelia suggests they perform a ritual to speed up her pregnancy and bring the baby to life immediately. As they talk, Angel suspects Skip is part of a conspicuous act to keep them in the dark and protect whatever it is that Cordelia's doing. He says that they wouldn't stop Cordelia because they "didn’t want to get their hands dirty," so they need to find someone who's willing to: "somebody right in the middle of all this." Angel goes to ask Skip about Cordelia and at first, Skip pretends to be clueless. Wesley suggests going to the Powers That Be, but Angel reminds him that the last few times he's gone, they haven’t been forthcoming. Angel is distraught that the truth was in front of him the whole time, but Wesley says that Cordelia played on his emotions in order to cloud his judgment. Wesley tells him that he's wasting his time looking for them Connor will stay hidden if he wants to. Angel returns to the Hyperion, having had no success finding Cordelia and Connor. "He's an animal, and he's turned everyone against us." He promises he’ll kill all of them before he lets them hurt her. The gang wonder what exactly Cordelia is pregnant with.Ĭordelia and Connor head to a deserted warehouse, where Cordelia tells Connor that the gang were trying to hurt her "You were right about Angel," she tells him. She then released Angelus from the cage and killed Lilah.
Her vision of how to re-ensoul Angel was misdirection, so that she could put a spell on Lorne and keep him from reading Angelus properly. She was then able to slip out, kill the Svea priestesses, and steal Angel's soul. Gunn wonders how Cordelia could get away with killing Manny, since she didn't have any blood on her clothes Wesley determines that she took off her clothes first.
Angel points out that nothing happened until Lorne gave Cordelia the memory potion in " Spin the Bottle." Lorne realizes that Wolfram & Hart stole information from his head to keep the gang from knowing about the Beast's master. Fred and Wesley realize Cordelia has been "grooming Connor as her champion." They wonder when Cordelia turned evil and if her amnesia upon returning from the higher plane was an act or a side effect. "What are you?" Angel manages to ask, before passing out, and Lorne's Magic 8-Ball rolls next to him, replying, "Ask Again Later."Īfter the group has recovered from Connor's attack, Gunn returns to the hotel from his romp with Gwen and they fill him in. In the confusion, Angel is accidentally hit with a tranquillizer dart intended for Connor. He fights off the gang, and runs off with Cordelia. Connor jumps down through the glass roof and Angel tries to convince him that Cordelia isn’t who he thinks she is, but he doesn’t listen. Angel demands to know where the real Cordelia is. Cordelia is surprised that she was almost able to end the world and it was two words that tipped him off. She asks what tipped Angel off and he replies, "Tongue, slip of." In a flashback, Cordelia tells the gang about the baby and calling it "my sweet." Angel says that this was the same phrase the Beast's master used when she talked to Angelus.
She brags that there was a time when she would have figured out that they were using Lorne as bait eons before it even crossed their minds she claims to be a lot smarter than Angel.
Angel arrives in time to stop him, but hesitates, and Cordelia gives birth to a full grown woman.Ĭordelia is in the basement of the Hyperion, surrounded by the team, who have figured out that she was the Beast's master. Meanwhile, Cordelia convinces Connor to mystically expedite the birth using the blood of a virgin. Skip tells them a higher being has manipulated events over the past few years to cause itself to be reborn. Angel roughs up the demon guide Skip to find out why Cordelia has turned evil.
