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.
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 ...
Carpenter was also referencing a bizarre storyline in the fourth season of Angel, in which she gets pregnant and gives birth to a fully grown woman named Jasmine (Gina Torres), who has the ability to hypnotise anyone she meets.
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."
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.
Cordelia had been taken over by the dark entity Jasmine (Gina Torres), which got pregnant so it could give birth to itself.
After three seasons on Buffy, Cordelia left the series to move over to star in Angel, a spin-off series focusing on Buffy's vampire ex-lover Angel (David Boreanaz). The first season of Angel sees Cordelia move to Los Angeles, in the hopes of escaping her new-found poverty by becoming an actress.
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.
Season nine continues, after issue five's cliffhanger revelation that the Slayer was pregnant, with Buffy deciding what to do about the unwanted pregnancy – the result of a drunken night at a party. Eventually she decides to have an abortion. "I want to do something.
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.
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.
Thanks to using Cordelia's body to have sex with Connor, she became pregnant and told Connor that his new family was special.
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.
It's then revealed that Cordelia has now an evil persona and is secretly controlling the Beast. She releases the evil Angelus and kills Lilah to frame him. Cordelia then reveals to Connor that she is pregnant with his child.
He loved her differently, as others said. Buffy was more primal, passionate and intense, like every episode was Waiting in the Wings. But it also wasn't super healthy. Angel and Cordelia was a more mature love built on friendship and respect.
Unable to let her friend suffer, and realizing that fighting evil was her true calling, Cordelia had Skip return the timeline to normal, and accepted his offer to become a half-demon.
"I Will Remember You" is episode 8 of season 1 in the television show Angel, originally broadcast on the WB network. In this episode, Buffy follows Angel back to Los Angeles, where she confronts him about his surreptitious assistance back in Sunnydale.
Her honest and literal presentation also make her comically bad at any form of deception. Cordelia is a textbook example of how autism can go undetected and undiagnosed in girls, especially if they are rich and pretty with traditionally feminine interests and hobbies like fashion or cheer-leading.
She appears as a regular in the first three seasons before exiting the show to join the spin-off Angel after graduating from Sunnydale High. Cordy actually ends up dating Xander Harris despite how much they've always hated each other.
With his further assistance — including the kidnapping of a virgin for sacrifice —, Cordelia was able to give birth to Jasmine. Jasmine's birth. Upon being born, Jasmine drained the life-force out of Cordelia, leaving her in a comatose state, one from which she would never wake up.
Cordelia awakens from her magically induced coma and returns to help Angel fight an old enemy who has reappeared even more powerful than ever.
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.
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.
