History Recap / AngelS04E22Home

* ArsonMurderAndAdmiration / YourApprovalFillsMeWithShame

* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: Wesley's reason for taking the W&H tour: Infiltrate Files & Records and destroy Lilah's contract and allow her to die. [[DefrostingIceQueen Lilah]] is touched by the effort.

* ShoutOut: to ''TradingPlaces'' with his new employees all greeting "Mr. Angel".

* ContinuityNod: Wesley is introduced to Sirk, a [[EvilCounterpart former Watcher working for Wolfram & Hart]] after the destruction of the Council in Season 7 ''Series/{{Buffy|The Vampire Slayer}}''.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Lacey Sheperd and Preston won't return next season.

As a reward for them stopping Jasmine's attempt to bring peace on Earth, the Senior Partners offer the gang control of the Los Angeles branch of Wolfram & Hart.

* BadassAdorable: Fred eagerly helps herself to a [[CoolGuns sound-suppressed Heckler & Koch submachine gun]] which she carries like a teddy bear for the entire tour.

* YouCantFightFate: [[OffingTheOffspring Angel symbolically "kills" Connor]] before the reality reset takes effect, fulfilling the false prophecy responsible for Connor's messed-up life in the first place. The writers of the episode confirmed this was a reference to "the father will kill the son".

* VerbalBackspace: Lilah tells the Fang Gang she's got the offer of a lifetime! (MusicalisInterruptus) "...just not...my lifetime."

* DenouementEpisode

* PantheraAwesome: The Conduit to the Senior Partners takes the form of a black panther.

As a reward for them stopping Jasmine's attempt to bring peace on Earth, the Senior Partners offer the gang control of the L.A branch of Wolfram & Hart.

* AbsoluteCleavage: Just because Lilah is dead, doesn't mean she can't look sexy.

* {{Give Him A Normal Life}}: In exchange for accepting Wolfram & Hart's offer, reality is altered so Connor has grown up with a normal, loving family.
* {{Great Big Book of Everything}}: Wolfram & Hart's source books, which can display text from any book in their archive. Well it seemed pretty nifty in 2004, before Kindle.
** Then again it doubtful that Kindle has access to [[{{TomeOfEldritchLore}} every book of Demonic knowledge, every unwritten masterpiece , every book of Occult knowledge]] from [[{{AnotherDimension}} across time and space...]]

* YouCantFightFate: [[OffingTheOffspring Angel kills Connor]], ironically fulfilling the false prophecy responsible for Connor's messed-up life in the first place.

* KillItWithFire: Wesley, in one last sentimental gesture, attempts this on Lilah's employee contract (which binds her to the firm for eternity). A duplicate contract immediately appears in the drawer.

* MeaningfulEcho: "There's a signed dollar in your wallet that says different." Lilah repeats the words that Imaginary Lilah spoke to Wes while he was working himself up to dismember her.

* SwordOverHead: Angel finds himself raising a knife over Connor's neck. Against all expectation however, Angel brings the knife down with full force.

** The file and the amulet Lilah gives Angel is later brought to Sunnydale. Angel gives the amulet to Buffy, who hands it over to Spike. An so endeth the series.

* SayingTooMuch: Wesley slips up and refers to [[FoeYay Lilah]] as a "loved one."

* NothingUpMySleeve / GrapplingHookPistol: Go Wes!

* MarionetteMotion: Lilah appears to have some difficulty in walking when she first appears at the Hyperion, as if she's not quite used to moving around in her reassembled body.

-->'''Wesley:''' I'm sure that's true.

-->'''Lorne:''' Uh, no, no, no, no. I don't think you have to tell me what you represent here, young man. I know. Evil. Pure evil in the— (Preston flips through the pages of the book, catching Lorne's attention) Huh. Which is also apparently everyone I've always wanted to meet!

* IncrediblyLamePun: Wes refuses to believe [[BackFromTheDead the woman in front of him is Lilah Morgan]].
-->'''Wes:''' It's a lie.
-->'''Lilah:''' Lah. It's a Lilah.
** Also her "ice water" comment is a riff on the popular retort, "And people in Hell want ice water."

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotHeinous
-->'''Lorne:''' So it's an evil limo. I get that, but does that mean we don't restock the cherries?

SwordOverHead: Angel finds himself raising a knife over Connor's neck. Against all expectation however, Angel brings the knife down with full force.
