In "Home" Lilah (back from the dead) gives Angel Investigations an offer they can't refuse: the LA branch of Wolfram & Hart. A distraught and seemingly broken Connor takes a store full of customers hostage with explosives and Cordy in tow.
Meanwhile the gang is getting personalized tours around WR&H. Lorne gets shown the celeb client list, Fred is shown R&D lab, Wes the archive of books, Gunn the security detail, and Angel is shown all the people that need his help. He learns of the situation with Connor and runs off to confront him. He beats up his son (for the millionth time) and stops the hostage crisis. He then takes the deal with Lilah to save his son, erasing everyone's memory of him and placing him with a loving, normal family. He watches them through the window, knowing he can no longer teach Connor the world as he knows it. New Connor seems more well adjusted as the season ends.
An odd ending to the penultimate season. The final product felt a bit disjointed. I expected a bigger finale involving Jasmine but she's cast aside without a second though. The finale seems more like a setup for Season 5 more than anything else. I thought we'd finally got rid of WR&H once and for all but it looks as if it'll get an even larger focus in the final season. I wouldn't have minded Angel Investigations getting a different archrival for a change but I'll withhold judgment until I see a few episodes with this new setup in place. Overall I think this might be the most inconsistent and bad season for Angel thus far.
