History Recap / AngelS04E10Awakening

* ShoutOut: To ''IndianaJones'' (lampshaded in the next episode). Gunn refers to Wesley as the ''Literature/RogueWarrior'' which makes sense as he's become Richard Marcinko fighting vampires.

-->'''Angel:''' Did you hear that? There's a sword. A sword to kill the Beast. And you wanted to turn me into Angelus by having an evil shaman cut off my head, [[SarcasmMode not that that wasn't a swell plan, too]].

* CallBack: The mystic used to remove Angel's soul is dressed in a similar fashion to the one used for the same purpose in BTVS "Enemies". The previous one, however, was a demon dressed in black, this is an Asian wearing red.

* HumanNotepad: Wo-Pang

* MalevolentMaskedMen: Wo-Pang

* ContrivedCoincidence

* ContinuityNod: The mystic used to remove Angel's soul is dressed in a similar fashion to the one used for the same purpose in BTVS "Enemies".

* AllsWellThatEndsWell

-->'''Angel''': I gotta do this. I gotta find the Beast-- (the Beast [[DramaticShattering bursts through the front door]] and walks into the lobby) Oh, there it is.

* [[spoiler:AllJustADream / LotusEaterMachine: The entire episode - featuring a tidy resolution of all of Angel's problems, emotional, personal or supernatural - turned out to be a fantasy constructed by a spell to orchestrate the removal of his soul by giving Angel a moment of perfect happiness.]]

* EvilLaugh: [[spoiler:He's back...]]

* FromDressToDressing: After bandaging Wesley when he gets an ImpaledPalm from a {{Booby Trap}}ped door, Cordelia points out that she doesn't have enough shirt for the rest of them.

* ItsAllAboutMe: Angel's words to Connor "It's not all about you. What you want isn't always what other people need." [[spoiler:take on another meaning when you realise this is all Angel's fantasy. The words apply equally to himself -- Angel accepts Wesley's apology, but doesn't seem to think that he ought to do so for the VorpalPillow thing.]]

* OneTrueLove: [[spoiler:Angel says Buffy's name - not Cordelia's - as he loses his soul. According to David Fury though this was simply Angel remembering when he last lost his soul in BTVS "Surprise".]]

* ShoutOut: To ''IndianaJones'' (lampshaded in the next episode). Gunn refers to Wesley as the ''Literature/RogueWarrior'' which makes sense as he's become Richard Marcinko fighting vampires.

-->'''Angel''': ''If''... anything goes wrong.

* TemptingFate: Wesley is working out the code to raise the wall.

-->'''ANGEL:''' ''If''... anything goes wrong.

-->'''ANGEL:''' You're saying Angelus is smarter than me.\\
'''CORDELIA:''' No, I mean....you're smart. He's just--\\
'''ANGEL:''' Ingenious.\\
'''CORDELIA:''' But in that twisted, sadistic, ruthless kind of way.\\
'''ANGEL:''' Like the Beast.\\
'''CORDELIA:''' Yes. Exactly. They think alike, always a step or two ahead of us. I mean, what is it about evil that jacks up the I.Q. points?

-->'''LORNE:''' Is there any part of this guy that doesn't have writing all over it? Scratch that; I don't want to know.

-->'''ANGEL:''' I gotta do this. I gotta find the Beast-- (the Beast [[DramaticShattering bursts through the front door]] and walks into the lobby) Oh, there it is.

-->'''ANGEL:''' If anything should go wrong with Angelus, you're gonna have to kill me.
-->'''CONNOR:''' (too quickly) OK.
-->'''ANGEL:''' ''If''...anything goes wrong.

-->'''WESLEY:''' Fred, would you mind brewing some tea for our guest?
-->'''FRED:''' Oh, um, sure. Right this way, Mr. Pang. Any special tea you...
-->'''WO-PANG:''' How about Orange Zinger?

-->'''BEAST:''' We could rule this world. Why do you oppose me?
-->'''ANGEL:''' Rain of fire, blocking out the sun, and you [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking just kinda piss me off]].

-->'''ANGEL:''' How is it a sword from the [=3rd=] Century is conveniently located here in Los Angeles?
-->'''CORDELIA:''' I don't think it is. I mean, I get the impression that somehow it's accessible from like a hundred points all over the world.
-->'''CONNOR:''' How's that work?
-->'''CORDELIA:''' I don't know. I just get the visions, not the Cliff's Notes.
