Plot threads[]

One of the major plot points in season four is Angel's personality reversion in which he once again becomes the evil, bloodthirsty Angelus as first seen in season two of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The members of Team Angel rely upon the help of Willow Rosenberg, Faith Lehane and even Angel himself to resolve this.

This storyline led directly into the "Jasmine" story-arc, which began with the pregnancy of Cordelia Chase as revealed in "Orpheus" and kicked into high-gear with the introduction of the character in "Inside Out".

Notes & Trivia[]

Comprises episodes 67-88.

Featured "Big Bad": Jasmine.

Although David Greenwalt is credited as a consulting producer on the series, he actually left the show after season three.
