In this spoiler friendly review of the Angel episode “Parting Gifts,” hosts Steven Youngkin and Cari Labok discuss how the series dealt with the loss of Doyle, the beginning of the beautiful friendship formed between Cordy and Angel in his absence, and how well Wesley was integrated into the team.
In case it has been a minute since the last time you went rogue demon hunting in L.A., here’s a quick episode recap: As the team grieves the loss of their friend, Cordelia must also come to terms with the parting gift that he left behind. Meanwhile, a mysterious leather clad figure chases an empath demon right into Angel Investigations, and the team meets up with a blast from their past that we never thought we’d see again.
