Part 3
Soon after Angel returns from Sri Lanka two of the most influential women in his life make reappearances. Buffy comes back from the grave and Darla shows up at his door pregnant with his child. Since Darla's disappearance last year there had been murmurings in the underground of her being pregnant and the order was thrilled that they may have another candidate for leading the order. Soon another problem arose when Holtz, a vampire hunter that hunted Angelus and Darla in the late 1700's, makes his presence known. The child is born and once again Darla dies, apparently for the last time. Very shortly after his birth, Connor, is kidnapped and taken to an alternate dimension, Quortoth, by Holtz. The order is again left with Angel being the only suitable heir. A few days later Connor reappears as a teenager who has been raised to hate Angel by Holtz. Holtz also returns and kills himself to frame Angel. In a fit of rage, anger, and vengeance seals Angel in a metal box and dumps him in the ocean where he stays for the summer. The order is very impressed by Connor's rage and vengefulness and soon re-embraces the plan to make Connor heir.
In Sunnydale, Spike continues to help the slayer and their relationship. In an effort to prove himself Spike hits the road in search of a mystical being that will restore his soul. With Spike receiving a soul and Angel at the bottom of the ocean the order started their plan to bring Connor to their side.
