Primary Source 2: Expecting

My second primary source is episode twelve of Angel. In this episode, Cordelia decides to go out for fun on this particular night and meets a guy name Wilson. They engage in some deep conversation,which leads her to taking him back to her apartment. Cordelia and Wilson enjoys a night together where everything seems to be perfect. However, she wakes up the next day with a pregnant belly. Angel and Wesley figures out that the Haxil demon is the father and destroys it by freezing it with liquid nitrogen.



I found this episode surprising that Cordelia was the victim. It is interesting to see that with her outgoing personality, Cordelia is still forced to face a critical event where she is pregnant with demon children. Luckily, she has Angel and Wesley at her side. I see that Angel has somewhat changed from the first episode to this episode because his attitude has softened. As he helps more people, that positive feeling seems to help put his mind at rest and tell him that he is a "good person". I also realize that Angel and Cordelia may appear to be completely diffferent people, but they somehow share a will to find out their true identity and what they want in their life. This concludes some thoughts for future episodes such as what did Cordelia learn from this event and how will she mature as a character in Angel?
