Possibly my favorite Angel episode. It was definitely this episode that made think I was watching the best TV shows of all time. I started from the beginning, loved the first two seasons, and when I saw this episode, I thought there was no way this show could get any better (it does). But this is probably my favorite episode.
Darla is about to give birth, Holtz is chasing Angel, and nobody knows what to do. The scene at the end when Darla stakes herself and Connor is born is just a beautiful scene. Angel looks down at the baby just as Holtz points a crossbow at him, and when he picks the baby up, Holtz realizes it and puts his crossbow down.
The music playing in the background, along with the situation in the scene, is really sad and moving. I found myself not crying, but a little teary because it was so sad. He lets Angel walk away, and Sahjahn is yelling at Holtz to kill him, and Holtz basically says he will next time he sees them.
So Darla's gone, enter Conner. You may have your own opinion about his character, but I personally didn't like him. Either way, my favorite episode of Angel.
