Yes, Cordelia did "wake up" from her coma in the Angel series, but it was a special, physical spirit form granted by the Powers That Be (PTB) for a final heroic act, not a full return to normal life; she appeared to help Angel, gave him a crucial vision, and then ascended, providing closure to her character before her ultimate death and transformation into a higher being.
Cordelia mysteriously awakens from her coma and is shocked and unhappy to discover that Angel and the group are no longer fighting Wolfram & Hart, they're running it.
Also, something I thought was interesting in the show: • While Julie Benz was not pregnant during the Season 3 pregnancy storyline (it was just a plot point for the show), the producers of the show did have to change the storyline of the show slightly when Charisma Carpenter was pregnant during filming of Season 4.
Cordelia was written off because David Greenwalt wanted to bring Charisma Carpenter with him to his new show.
Cordelia died in 2004, using her last moments on Earth to aid her friend and love, Angel, and put the disillusioned hero back on his heroic path. After her death, Cordelia became a higher being in the service of the Powers That Be.
The season 5 episode "The Body" is the saddest "Buffy" episode in its run and certainly one of the most tragic television episodes of all time. You know the premise: Buffy's mom, Joyce (Kristine Sutherland), dies of a brain aneurysm, and the whole gang has to face the devastating fallout of her death.
In total, Cordelia is the victim of mystical pregnancy three times during the series: from a Haxil beast in this episode, as host of an unborn Skilosh demon in "Epiphany," and from Connor while possessed by Jasmine, as first revealed in "Salvage."
She died loving Angel, knowing that Angel loved her back. During the Fall of Los Angeles, Cordelia came to a dying Angel to ease him into death. He told her he loved her but could not go with her.
There was a power play that happened that just didn't fall out the way they wanted it to. We wanted to get an early pick-up, we didn't. In fact we forced them [The WB] to make a decision, and with his hand forced he [Levin] made the decision to cancel us.
Having (apparently) awoken from her coma, Cordelia reunites with Angel Investigations, who have taken over Wolfram & Hart since their defeat of Jasmine. She chastises Angel for accepting W&H's "deal with the devil" and reminds him of his true mission and higher calling.
Xander loses his virginity to Faith. This will be brought up in Consequences (1999), The Harsh Light of Day (1999), Who Are You? (2000), and Empty Places (2003). Xander becomes the third Scooby Gang member to lose his virginity, after Cordelia (mentioned in Bad Eggs (1998) ) and Buffy (in Surprise (1998) ).
Julie Benz discusses contractual issues that led to Darla's demise in Angel. Benz's scheduling conflicts with Angel overlapped with filming commitments for another show.
For Ginnifer Goodwin's first pregnancy on Once Upon a Time, her bump was hidden with large, baggy overcoats and cloaks because of the cold Canadian weather**, using her Snow White character's attire to her advantage; for her second pregnancy, they often used bags, plants, couches, and tight close-ups, though it became harder to conceal as she grew more visibly pregnant, with some viewers noting it was quite obvious.
5 by 5 is old radio operator jargon for receiving your signal fine. It was used in Buffy the Vampire Slayer as slang for good. Used to hear it all the time from engineers at TV stations.
When Angel asks her why, she replies that she never invited him into her apartment, yet he was able to break in and save her. She never appears on the series again, due to Elisabeth Röhm joining the cast of Law & Order.
"The Gift" is the season 5 finale, and the 100th episode, of the fantasy-horror television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997–2003). The episode aired on The WB on May 22, 2001.
In addition to being a friend, co-star and mother figure to Downey, Reese was also the godmother to the actress' daughter Reilly Marie. It's clear that Downey was touched by Reese's life in so many ways.
To Joss Whedon, the tumor represented nothing more than cancer. He planned to kill Joyce as early as the third season, and he wrote the episode to reflect what he experienced when he lost his own mother to a brain aneurysm.
His primary roles - provider of narrative exposition, and paternal figure - didn't work well in the comic book format. Whedon killed off Giles where he did so that it might have a greater effect on the coming season, "because [he] wanted to make all this matter".
However, season 4 had Cordelia become possessed for the majority of the year and give birth to a demon after becoming pregnant by Angel's teenage son, Connor. Carpenter shares her thoughts about the possession and pregnancy storyline on TikTok.
Meanwhile, Dawn is almost killed by a vampire while trying to find Joyce in the morgue. Buffy saves her and they share a quiet moment with their mother's body. "The Body" is Buffy the Vampire Slayer's saddest and most heartbreaking episode.
People hate Xander because he reminds them of actual people they know - the guy who dumped them out of the blue, the guy who kept making uncomfortable jokes, the guy who cheated on them. They guy who dumped them but still got angry when they slept with someone else.
The current arc reveals Buffy becoming pregnant after a drunken one-night stand. Throughout the issue, Buffy wrestles with the decision and comes to a conclusion that she's not ready to raise a child.
After the Twilight crisis, Xander moved with Dawn into an apartment in San Francisco and they were officially together a couple.
In a seemingly impossible event, vampires Angel and Darla had a child, the end result being Connor, a human-like offspring of vampires and the first of his kind.
