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."
Charisma Carpenter allegedly hid her pregnancy until the last minute, forcing Joss Whedon and the other writers to do a last minute rewrite for season four, resulting in a strange plotline in which Cordelia sleeps with Angel's teenage son (who was technically born a few months earlier and then stolen away to grow up in ...
Cordelia had been taken over by the dark entity Jasmine (Gina Torres), which got pregnant so it could give birth to itself.
Thanks to using Cordelia's body to have sex with Connor, she became pregnant and told Connor that his new family was special.
As Cordelia becomes pregnant and manipulates Connor into helping her sacrifice an innocent girl for their child, his inhuman actions begin conflicting with his inner good, accelerating his already deteriorating mental health.
Later, in Angel's perfect-day dream sequence, Angel and Cordelia consummated their relationship, but Angel called out "Buffy!" as he lost his soul, just as he did in Sunnydale years earlier.
Much of season four's storyline had to be adjusted due to Carpenter's real-life pregnancy; after Cordelia gives birth to Jasmine in the episode "Inside Out" she is left in a coma for the remainder of the fourth season.
Tl;dr: Jasmine possessed Cordelia when she left the higher dimension; the memory restoration only triggered Jasmine's control over Cordelia; Cordelia slept with Connor in the sense that Jasmine was possessing her body at the time; Cordelia's body was pregnant with Connor's baby but it wasn't exactly a baby.
Technically Cordelia is only supposed to be 22, but sorry Charisma, you don't look 22 in 2002 (mom hair do at fault here too, because on Veronica Mars she was back to youthful glory) And Connor was supposed to be 18 if I am correct. 4 years isn't a big deal, but these two did not look 4 years apart.
In her final hours, Cordelia curiously became the pseudo-villain of the series after being possessed by the malevolent entity Jasmine. Instead of getting the kind of epic, valiant sendoff that other villains-turned-scoobies did for their finales, Cordelia simply fell into a coma and died unceremoniously in a hospital.
However, various events (particularly Cordelia's possession by Jasmine) kept them from admitting their feelings to each other, although shortly before Cordelia died, they revealed their love for one another and shared a single kiss. She died loving Angel, knowing that Angel loved her back.
Amid the celebration, star Charisma Carpenter spoke out on the controversial end of her fan-favorite character, Cordelia Chase, who was written out at the end of Season 4. Asked whether there was anything in her character's story that she wished she could have explored further, Carpenter took a long pause.

In Angel season 4 Cordelia is possessed by the ancient demon Jasmine, who slept with Connor in order to give birth to herself. After Cordelia gave birth to Jasmine, she was put in a coma and only returned in Angel season 5, episode 12, "You're Welcome" wherein she died as a result of the coma.
He was forced by his restored conscience to reconcile with his sinful past; however, the curse came with an additional danger: Angel could never experience true happiness, as it would result in the removal of his soul. Angel lost his soul twice: first, when he slept with Buffy Summers, and again, due to a spell.
In season 4 Cordelia fell into a coma after giving birth to the entity Jasmine who possessed her. Cordelia's life-force having been drained into Jasmine.
One of the main reasons why she left the show was so she could become one of the main cast in the spin-off series Angel. The spin-off focussed on Buffy's love interest and David Boreanaz.
Cordelia awakens from her magically induced coma and returns to help Angel fight an old enemy who has reappeared even more powerful than ever.
Furious, Lear disowns her, which means Burgundy no longer wants to marry her. Luckily, the King of France likes girls with principles, so he says he will take her off to France as his bride. 4.4 Cordelia shows up in Britain with a bunch of soldiers she borrowed from her husband, the King of France.
It was Joss' decision to axe the character. The season 4 plot was always intended to have Cordelia turn evil, but the pregnancy was - obviously - written in and messed up all the plans, which is probably the real reason why she was not brought back in the last season 5.
Angel's ratings in season 5 were actually up on season 4, making the lack of renewal even more of a shock, although the common reason given behind the move is that Whedon pressed John Levin, WB's Head of Entertainment, for an early decision on the show rather than the typical mid-May renewal.
this would be a very big story left untold." Carpenter says the 100th episode was a momentous time to have her character die, calling it "bittersweet...a love letter to Cordelia" and the story "one of the sweetest they'd ever told." David Fury agrees: "It's a beautiful farewell to Charisma for the series" and it gives ...
After 7 years playing Cordelia Chase, 3 years on Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997) and 4 years on Angel (1999), Charisma was not invited back as a regular for Angel's fifth and final season.
