Kate doesn't hesitate to say that she does trust Angel; subverted in that after discovering that Angel is a vampire (and digging up Angelus' history) she never fully trusts him again.

* CallingCard: Before being cursed with a soul, Angelus enjoyed 'signing' each of his victims by slicing a Christian cross on their cheek. Its purpose was twofold: To [[VillainCred keep score]], and to spite God. Penn, having been [[TheCorrupter sired and mentored by Angelus]], adopted this trademark as his own.

** Thus also serving as a MeaningfulEcho from the last time Angel used this trope, to {{Buffy}} in "Lie to Me", an episode about how the comforting illusions of childhood give way to the GreyAndGrayMorality of real life. Lacking Buffy's sixteen year-old schoolgirl romanticism, the Kate/Angel relationship [[ShipSinking ends before it begins]].

* {{Calling the Old Man Out}}: Liam became a vampire as a result of a noisy confrontation with his father, which resulted in him getting kicked out. As Angelus, he later "triumphed" by killing his family, saving his father for last.
** Penn has daddy issues of his own, even to the point of considering Angelus his "real" father after being sired. Similar to Angelus, Penn evened the score by slaughtering his entire family. Over the next two centuries, Penn deliberately sought out victims who resembled his family, killing them in order to reenact his past murders (later redirected toward Angel himself).
