History Recap / AngelS04E07ApocalypseNowish

* DaydreamSurprise: [[spoiler:Cordelia's dream.]]

* {{Fanservice}}: Cordelia's loose, cleavage-revealing tops. Connor's hormones must have been going off the scale.
** Lilah Morgan playing dress-up games with Wes is sheer unapologetic [[{{Meganekko}} fanservice for geeks]].

* NotSoDire: After a GenreBlind Angel decides to tempt fate by saying the world isn't going to end, we cut to the sound of a ScreamingWoman. Turns out Cordelia is watching a horror film.

* SexyDiscretionShot: The camera view lifts just as Wes is about to yank up Lilah's short skirt. Apparently much of their sex scene had to be cut too, after JossWhedon requested more "thrusting" and the actors complied.

** BiggerStick/MoreDakka: Wes goes from crossbow to handguns to pump-action shotgun. [[ImmuneToBullets None of it works.]]

* BuffySpeak: "Snacky goodness" (an {{Pun}} on last week's "salty goodness").

* SeventhEpisodeTwist

-->'''Lilah:''' Swell, but I'm having a bit of a day, so let's say we skip the usual two-step, you threaten me, I threaten you, yadda, yadda, yawn.

* IconicItem: Gunn's hubcap axe gets crushed.

** HopeSpot: The first is when Wesley's shotgun blasts bring the Beast to its knees, with him advancing on it firing from closer and closer - until he gets within range, at which point it grabs him, hurls him into a wall, and stands up as though its apparent injury was just an act. The second is when Angel puts his GameFace on and goes in for a rematch. He also manages to knock The Beast to its knees, produces a stake, and stabs it towards The Beast's eyes, the only seemingly vulnerable part of it. He stops an inch away, and the camera reveals The Beast had caught his wrist. Then it stabs him in the neck with his stake and hurls him off the skyscraper.

* GonnaNeedMoreTrope: The Fang Gang barge into the Sky Temple Club to find a huge horned demon with rock-like skin holding up a corpse in one hand after killing everyone in the place for a blood rite.

* WeHaveReserves: Wolfram & Hart have been [[YourHeadAsplode burning through their psychics]] trying to find out what Lorne read from Cordelia.

-->'''Lilah:''' You should see the cleaning bill. Now that is terrifying.
