Synopsis

The season begins with Angel getting straight into action, staking a female vampire he recognises from his past, but a moment too late. Her grief-stricken lover, Angel's old fighting buddy, is out for revenge for the present killing and a betrayal Angelus committed over 200 years ago. Angel then goes into full detective mode when Fred's parents unexpectedly arrive in Los Angeles to bring Fred home, but their appearance inexplicably sends her into a tailspin and on the run. Violence erupts within Angel's gang as a demonic boy (guest star Justin Shilton) brings primal rage to the surface of men, turning them hateful and murderous towards women. As Wesley and Gunn turn on a frightened Fred, Cordelia fears the onslaught of Angel's dark side. With one of the most gripping storylines to date Angel comes face-to-face with the consequences of his night of passion when Darla (guest star Julie Benz) arrives on his doorstep inexplicably pregnant. While Angel tortures himself over the decision whether or not to destroy the demon seed, the gang uncovers a prophecy that predicts the arrival of a great evil which will bring about the ruination of mankind. Angel must do everything in his power to protect Darla and their unborn child when Wolfram & Hart launch a full attack to take mother and baby, in addition to a vampire cult who believe the baby is The Miracle Child. 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. He discovers how hard it is being a new dad - especially when the demon underworld is after your newborn son.
