Re-Watcher's Council | Angel S3E01 "Heartthrob" Spoiler Review

Welcome to Angel Season 3. Angel went to a monastery in Sri Lanka to grieve. There were demon monks. He should've gone to Vegas. 🧛‍♂️This week on Re-Watcher's Council, we're kicking off Angel Season 3 with the premiere episode, Heartthrob — the one where Angel comes home from three months of grief-processing abroad, the team tries to figure out how he's doing without actually asking, and a vampire from Angelus's past shows up with a very personal vendetta and absolutely nothing left to lose.We also get Fred slowly, tentatively starting to emerge from her room and find her footing at the Hyperion — the "listen for the click" scene with Angel is quietly one of the best character moments of the premiere. Cordelia is giving Angel necklaces and immediately making it weird. Wesley and Gunn are settling into their roles as a genuine team. And Amy Acker joins the main cast and opening credits as of this episode, which is very well deserved.Oh, and the episode closes with the reveal that Darla — last seen leaving LA — is somehow, impossibly, pregnant. A vampire. Pregnant. Season 3 is going to be something else entirely.Season 3 is here and we are ready.
