Next week we are looking at Origin, in which some of Angel's older, darker chickens come home to roost. So from Monday your time, get sharing whatever you have to share on this week's blast from the past new Episode in Focus. Meta, vids, art, poems, fic, whatever you got, we want it.
Episode in Focus: Origin
Of all the faces you (and Angel) never expected to see at Wolfram and Hart, I'd bet Connor was somewhere on the list. Connor's in the past, with a new life, contented and normal. Whatever could he need to ask the evil law firm about? Maybe nothing. But Stephen Reilly, now… Stephen is a normal kid with some very abnormal abilities. When Stephen comes to LA, and Wesley starts to investigate, a hell of a lot of past secrets are at risk. And the man (man?) who controls them is Cyrus Vail. No friend of the humans, we suspect, even if we don't entirely understand his motives for getting Angel's attention at first. When we do - he wants Connor to kill the demon Sahjahn - we're looking at a blast from the past in more ways than one.
Key Quote:
ANGEL You're taking this pretty well.
CONNOR What am I supposed to do, complain? I just don't know how I'm gonna explain it to my parents. You got family?
ANGEL No.
CONNOR Right. Vampire. So, what are you, like 500 years old?
ANGEL No, I'm about- Do I look 500?
CONNOR Do you spend all your time making out with other vampires, like in Anne Rice novels?
ANGEL No. Uh-I used to, but...
CONNOR You have a girlfriend at least?
ANGEL Can't afford to.
CONNOR Must be lonely.
ANGEL I keep busy.
CONNOR Right. So you guys, like, fight crime and save the world here, that sort of stuff?
ANGEL Well, that's the idea.
CONNOR Wow. Is everyone here a superhero? This place must be insane.
ANGEL It's mostly paralegals and secretaries. Pretty boring, really.
As they walk down the hall together, Angel and Connor have to stop as Spike is thrown through the training room doors. His clipboard is thrown after him.
SPIKE (falls to the ground, screaming) You filthy harlot! (gets to his feet) I'm gonna tear your neck out!
