S3. Ep12. Provider

Angel becomes jealous and feels a bit isolated after Groosalugg saves the gang and is reunited with Cordelia. Join Sarah and Lea as they discuss love triangles (again), the Angel and Cordelia (attempted?) romance, and grown men acting like big babies.

Angel and his friends attend a ballet, where Angel realizes he saw the exact same dancers on stage over a hundred years ago. Joins Sarah, Lea, Steph, and Kara as they discuss love triangles, ballet, and high school musical. 

Stress over finances leads to a lapse in Angel's judgment as the gang finds themselves spread too thin. Join Sarah, Lea, and Rob as they discuss the (spicy?!) Holtz and Justine scenes, the weird, out-of-character role reversal for Cordelia and Angel, and the absolute pointlessness of this episode.

Cordelia learns that her visions will kill her unless she goes back in time and chooses a different path in life--one that doesn't involve Angel. Join Sarah, Lea, and Jim, as they discuss Cordelia's arc, whether the Cordyverse is realistic, and what effects this episode has on the rest of the series. 

Angel copes with fatherhood while protecting his son from the trials and tribulations of the demon underworld. Join Sarah, Lea, and Abby, as they discuss Angel's first few hours of fatherhood, the complexities of vampire being a parent to a human child, and setting boundaries with your loved ones when you have a newborn baby. 

Holtz closes in as Darla and Angel prepare for the birth of their son. Join Sarah, Lea, and Naj as they discuss the parallels between Holtz and Angel, Darla's arc, and whether or not her sacrifice is an example of the "women in refridgerator's" trope.

As the team attempts to figure out what kind of baby Darla is having, Wolfram and Hart, Holtz, and every demon cult on the earth prepares to kidnap the child. Join Sarah, Lea, and guest Naj as they discuss Holtz's inability to move forward, how the episode holds your attention despite the poor set up from the season, and what we think Holtz's McDonald's order would be.

Angel wrestles with whether to destroy the demon seed spawned the night he had sex with Darla, and the gang finds a prophecy that predicts the coming of a great evil and the ruination of humankind. Join Sarah and Lea as they discuss prophecies, destiny, and Angel finding out he's about to become a father. 

"Here comes a consequence, consequence, consequence..." Angel investigates a string of violent attacks on women, only to discover that the perpetrator is the man he rescued from another dimension. Join Sarah, Lea and Kirsten as they discuss Angel's responsibility, female agency, and the show's take on mysogyny.

Angel deploys his investigative skills to find a missing Fred who goes on the lam after her parents show up in Los Angeles to bring her home. Join Sarah and Lea as they discuss Fred becoming an official member of the Angel Investigations Team, parents (or lack of) in the Buffyverse, and what could have possibly happened during the off screen meeting between Buffy and Angel.
