When an all-powerful demon lord The Beast rises from the ground at the place he was born, Connor feels responsible. As The Beast causes fire to rain from the sky in an apparent apocalypse, Cordelia sleeps with Connor to give him some happiness before the end.
Connor blames himself for the whole situation, but Cordelia comforts and reassures him that he's not to blame. Cordelia kisses Connor and offers him the chance to feel something real. While everyone else watches the fire, fearing the future that awaits them, Connor and Cordelia have sex.
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.
Forcing the truth out of him, Angel learns that all that's transpired, Connor's birth, Cordelia's ascension to the higher plane, Angel turning into Angelus and Cordelia's pregnancy, were all a part of a higher being's plan to create something even more powerful than itself.
Cordelia had been taken over by the dark entity Jasmine (Gina Torres), which got pregnant so it could give birth to itself.
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."
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.
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.
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.
Angel loved them both, I doubt he ever stopped loving Buffy either, but they were different relationships with different people in different situations. They're just different.
Cordelia somehow finally returned to Earth, though with a fallen power piggy backing right along with her. Because of this, the Powers That Be's safeguard was triggered and Cordelia's memories were wiped clean and the fallen power made dormant.

Connor, also known as Connor Angel, Steven Franklin Thomas Holtz, The Destroyer, and Connor Reilly, was the half-demon son of the vampires Angel and Darla and a member of Angel Investigations.
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.
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.
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.
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 ...
At Kent's departure, the King of France and Duke of Burgundy enter, both of whom are suitors for Cordelia's hand in marriage. They are told that Cordelia will not receive a dowry or inheritance from her father. The Duke withdraws his suit, because a wife without a dowry is of no use to him.
According to the "found" family tree, Cordelia will apparently go on to marry James, have a son named Owen, and die in 1962 at the age of 76 or 77.
Meanwhile, Cordelia convinces Connor to mystically expedite the birth using the blood of a virgin. Angel arrives in time to stop him, but hesitates, and Cordelia gives birth to a full grown woman.
The two kiss, and Angel initially hesitates, only for Cordelia to tell him not to worry. Angel succumbs and the two are soon making love, and Angel starts to feel perfect bliss causing him to gasp out, "Buffy," as he begins to lose his soul.
Cordelia becomes part-demon. Her transformation, and the motivations behind it, play an important part in the events of season four. Cordelia learns that her receiving the visions wasn't part of the Powers That Be's plans.
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.
Angelus terrorizes Willow and the Gang at school, emotionally tormenting Buffy. Later, as they discuss Angel's transformation in the library, Buffy realises that having sex with Angel is what caused him to turn evil. Buffy has a dream in which Angel indicates that Jenny knows more than she is letting on.
The problem came to a head when Angel experienced pure happiness and turned into his alter ego, Angelus. Angelus was the evil version of Angel, who would kill relentlessly and without remorse. Buffy knew that being with Angel was too much of a risk to herself, her friends and the rest of the world.
According to Buffy creator Joss Whedon, the introduction of Dawn in Season Five was partly so protagonist Buffy Summers could experience a "really important, intense emotional relationship" with someone other than a boyfriend.
