Arc Significance
- Connor returns, having been absent from the series since Wolfram & Hart altered reality to have everyone forget him and gave him a "normal life". Wesley breaks the spell, restoring his, Illyria's, and Connor's memories of the events of the past two years and Connor's entire life. Connor does not directly reveal to Angel that he also regained his memories (which 'melded' with his own), but it is heavily implied. When Connor returns for the finale episode, "Not Fade Away", this is fully explained.
- Spike and Illyria interact, sparring so that he can test her strength. This dynamic is further explored in the rest of the season and later in Spike: After the Fall.
- Cyvus Vail makes his first appearance, eventually to return in "Power Play."
