Synopsis

Crew The Short: Part 3 of a 4 part series. As Darla's contractions get closer together, Angel has a run-in with Holtz, who remains dead-set on destroying the two vampires, even after he learns of Angel's Soul. As Darla violently begins childbirth, Angel faces the responsibility of becoming a father and the possibilities of what miracle or destruction this new being may bring to the world.

The Long: After a ''Previously on Angel'' segment (see
Continuity #1) we open on Angel being shocked by the presence of Holtz in the Hyperion lobby. Angel realizes that Holtz is the Tro-Clon. The Grappler demons trap Angel. Holtz sends some demons to find Darla. In the nearby alley Darla is having contractions and Angel is late (see Reference #1). Wesley unsuccessfully tries to get Darla to use breathing to reduce the pain, but she reminds him she doesn't breath. (Listen to the teaser here.)

Cool Quotes

  1. Holtz: ''Do you know what he is?''
    Lilah: ''Yeah, I know. Vampire, cursed by gypsies who restored his soul. Destined to atone for centuries of evil, wacky sidekicks, yada, yada. I'd have him killed myself, except the people I work for have this policy.''
    That about sums it up.
