06/10/2002             Deep Down

With Angel and Cordy missing for three months, Fred and Gunn are frustrated at the lack of clues regarding their friends' disappearance, especially after Connor is forced to kill the only eyewitness to Angel. Of course, actually Connor knows all about where Angel is and disposes of the vampire witness to cover his tracks. Meanwhile, Wes has captured Justine and while maintaining a sexual relationship with Lilah, is searching for Angel's sunken box. He eventually finds Angel, whose brain may be damaged from lack of blood. Giving up his own blood and letting Justine go, Wes tells Fred and Gunn about Connor's betrayal. They capture him and he escapes to confront Angel, who tells him he loves him but he has to get out.

When Wesley advises Angel to visit Dinza, a dark "goddess of the lost" who has valuable information on how to find Cordelia, he learns that a certain mystical antiquity called the axis can locate souls across dimensions.

Angel, Fred and Gunn take a road trip to Las Vegas to enlist Lorne's help in finding Cordelia, but get caught up in a supernatural—and literal—"futures" trading scheme.

It is Angel's future, however, that is of more interest...

 

27/10/2002             Slouching Toward Bethlehem

After months of existing on a higher plane, Cordelia inexplicably appears back at the hotel - with no idea why or even how she arrived there. Sadly, a serious case of amnesia prevents Cordy from remembering either her friends or her past. Believing the full truth may scare her off, the gang attempts to hide the freaky facts about their lives. Unfortunately, that secrecy leads to mistrust on Cordy's part when the reality of their situation is revealed. Things get even more complicated when Lorne reads her mind and sees a terrifying vision of the future. Meanwhile, outcast Connor struggles to find his place in the world.

While doing so, he discovers that he is a very popular character in online chatrooms.

 

10/11/2002             Spin the Bottle

When Lorne performs a spell on Cordelia to restore her memory, it inadvertently causes the gang to revert back to their high school personas and leaves them with no memories of each other.

17/11/2002             Apocalypse, Nowish

Angel and company brace for the imminent arrival of a hellish beast and toil to stave off Judgment Day. Although the creature's coming was initially revealed through Cordelia, she is unable to dredge up the ghastly specifics about the otherworldly visitor from her spotty memory. Only one thing is certain - the demon will bring about the end of the world if no one stops it. With no other choice, Angel partners with Lilah to fight the common threat. Meanwhile, Fred and Gunn get sidetracked by a bump in their relationship. Cordy and Connor, on the other hand, pair up to hunt down the menace themselves.

He hears a voice of the Beast's master; it keeps pestering him about its plans for him and informs him that it has his soul. At the same time Cordelia is in bed talking in secret to Angelus. Connor walks in and she stops, but reminds Connor to keep their child a secret. Angelus later enters the hotel looking for a book. He is immune to Lorne's recent sanctuary spell, because of an amulet that he is holding. Fred notices that the amulet is fake and hits him. Angelus grabs Wesley and threatens to kill him, but then he just exits the hotel.  Faith and Wesley later visit a bar where Angelus was last seen, they question a girl about his current location.
