"I could soothe your ass off, pal."
Our Favorite Smooches
You're Welcome

Cordelia turns to leave Angel, but suddenly changes her mind. Angel hearing her say "One for the road." turns around smiling and kisses her. Cordelia rests her hand softly on Angel's face and they stand quietly for a moment in the embrace until the phone rings. He whispers that he doesn't have to get that, but Cordelia insists that he does. As Angel turns around to answer the phone Cordelia uses her last breath to say "Oh, and you're welcome."
Birthday

In this episode Cordelia is given the chance to realize her dreams of becoming a superstar. But not all is right in the parallel universe and even with fame and fortune she senses it. When she finds a clue to the world she had been living in she finds Angel alone in a dark room, suffering from the visions that were meant to be hers. As she gets down on her knees, sympathizing like she always has with Angel's needs, she leans forward and kisses him.
Waiting in the Wings

Angel and Cordelia take a night out on the town and entertainment takes the form of classical dance, or that was what it started out as. In the end, they stumble upon two souls of old lovers and they are possessed. In this particular heated moment Cordelia leans forward and whispers, "I'm only alive when you're inside of me." and while this scene may be an act, it's effects stay with Angel the rest of the evening.
Deep Down

After being entombed and sent to the bottom of the ocean, Angel's sanity is quickly slipping away from him and he starts to dream. In this dream he relives the night Cordelia asked him to meet her at the bluff, only this time everything is right. Cordelia looks out at the ocean and remarks that the sceneic area is beautiful. Angel's gaze never waivers from her as he replies, "Yes... It is."
Parting Gifts

First kisses. There's nothing like them. Full of lust, want, and desire. Unless you're Cordelia and Angel. In this case Cordelia has just been promoted to Vision Girl and she is doing everything in her power to get rid of "it". Cordelia presses her lips to Angel's and he quickly pulls away, claiming she is acting out of greif; an act we would all agree he regrets later down the road.

"I've got you."
Season One
Cordelia: "Are you still all... Grr?"
Angel: "Yeah... There's not actually a cure for that."
Cordelia: "Right."

- City of...
Angel: "Cordelia, do have any idea just how precious you are?"
- Sense and Sensitivity
Angel: "You got peanut butter on the bed."
Cordelia: "Really? I don't think so. I'll look. (goes to check; walks back in) Angel, at some point in the recent history you got peanut
butter on your bed, and it's gross. I think you're gonna have to change the sheets."
Angel: "I don't eat."
Cordelia: "Well, then I don't even wanna know how it got there."

- RM W/A VU
Angel: "Cordelia, I'm gonna fix this. I promise. I'm gonna get you back. I need you back."
- To Shanshu in L.A.
Cordelia: "I never doubted for a minute you'd find me."
- Parting Gifts
Season Two
Cordy: "Yeah. We all got a little cocky, didn't we? It's gonna be a long while until you work your way
out - but I know you well enough to know you will... And I'll be with you until you do."

- Judgement
Cordy: "See his file? (Angel leans down as if to get a better look at the screen but instead starts smelling Cordy's hair)
He has Visa, MasterCard and a problem;
he's our target audience. But if you want to be rude, I guess it's your shop... Angel? (Angel is touching her hair) What are
you…? What are you...? personal bubble. (she jumps off her chair and away from Angel) Personal bubble!"
Wesley: "I need to speak to you, man to man. Cordelia, you may not want to be here for this. Was it something I did?"
Cordy: "He was feeling my hair."

- Dear Boy
Angel: "What we were. And I also know what she's going through. And unlike me,
maybe she won't have to go through it alone."
Cordy: "You're not alone."

- Darla
Cordy: "What are you doing here?"
Angel: "I heard about Wesley."
Cordy: "Well, that's great. Too bad it takes a gunshot wound to make you give a crap. Wesley doesn't
need you right now.
We don't need you. You walked away. Do us a favor and just stay away."
(Angel watches her walk away.)

- The Thin Dead Line
Angel: "You took all the books."
Cordy: "Yeah, well, you got the waffle iron. Hey! No! You can't take this, I-I-I'm in the middle of it.
(Puts the book back on the shelf and shoves a phonebook at him) Here, take this one."
Angel: "Don't make me move you."
Wesley: "Give him the book, Cordelia. Just give him the damn thing! Let him get the hell out."
Cordy: "(Shoving the book to Angel's chest) Here. I don't even know what you are anymore."
Angel: "I'm a vampire. Look it up."
Cordy: "What a jerk."

- Reprise
Cordy: "I love you."
(Angel smiles.)
Cordy: "And you ought to do that more often."
Angel: "Buy you food?"
Cordy: "Smile."

- Dead End
Cordy: "Stop. Stop the fight. Don't hurt him. Stop. I love him. I love him."
Angel: "You love me?"
Cordy: "Not you, dumb ass! Him (meaning Groo)! I love him!"
Angel: "Oh."
Cordy: "Lay down your weapons! Silas is dead. All priests have been defeated. Any guard who harms a human from
this day forth shall have to answer to me!"
Angel: "You love me, too, right?"
Cordy: "Are you okay? Did he hurt you?"
Angel: "As a friend and co-worker."
Cordy: "Can I get some medical attention around here, people?"
Angel: "Maybe love is too strong a term."

- There's No Place Like Plrtz Glrb
Season Three
Angel: "Easy, baby, what'd you see?"
- Heartthrob
Angel: "Maybe he can make the noise stop."
Cordy: "Yeah."
Angel: "Isn't that what you want?"
Cordy: "Yes! No. Well, no. Sure I hate looking and feeling
like this, but - if I lose the visions, I wouldn't be able to
help you anymore. You wouldn't need me."
Angel: "That's not why I need you. You're important."

- That Vision Thing
Cordy: "Angel, what you did for me was unbelievably selfless - and brave, and amazing.
And it's so great to know that the next vision I have will just be blindingly painful and not turn
me into Elephant-man or anything."
Angel: "I hear a big 'but' coming."
Cordy: "But what if that guy you freed is someone or something that's truly terrible? Wolfram
and Hart won this time and it's all my fault."
Angel: "It's not about winning, Cordelia, it's about what's at stake.
And in this particular scenario you were way more important
than winning."

- That Vision Thing
Cordy: "She's got the big puppy love. I mean, who wouldn't?
You're handsome, and brave, and heroic (Cordelia notices Angel's
smug expression) - emotionally stunted, erratic, prone to turning
evil and, lets face it, a eunuch."
Angel: "Hey, how can you... I'm not a eunuch."
Cordy: "Angel, it's just a figure of speech."
Angel: "Find a better one."
Cordy: "I just mean that sex is a no-no for you. Because of this whole
'if you know perfect bliss you'll turn evil' curse. Really no cure for that, huh?

- Carpe Noctem
Angel: "I'm gonna miss her. She was just this nice, quiet kind of crazy. I found that - soothing."
Cordy: "And what? I'm not soothing? I can be soothing. I could soothe your ass off, pal."

- Fredless
Cordy: "Has someone been putting vodka in your blood?"
Angel: "(laughing) See? You're funny! And I, well I get off a good one
every once in a while, but you..."
Cordy: "Angel, are you trying to say you love me?"
Angel: "What?"
Cordy: "I love you too."
Angel: "You do? When did this..?"
Cordy: "(yelling) Angel loves me! I love him!"
Angel: "Oh, my god!"
Cordy: "You guys love us and we love you."
Fred, Wes and Gunn chorus: "We love you Angel."
Cordy: "They were all saying it earlier. Just in case this prophecy comes
true and we all die. You're not gonna wanna hug, are you?"
Angel: "(clearing his throat and shifting) No."
Cordy: "God knows we've been through a lot together."
Angel: "That's really all I was trying to say, that we've been through
so much together, you and me, as friends. You've seen the good,
and the not so good."
Cordy: "Just like you have in me. And for the record: the good
I've seen far outweighs the bad."

- Offspring
Angel spins around, yelling: "No, you're not listening! Cordelia is not a champion. She is a rich girl
from Sunnydale who likes to play superhero. She doesn't have what it takes to
do this! Don't the Powers get that? Stop whispering and listen to me, damn it!
She's weak. You're killing her. She's unconscious, and she's alone. Who knows if she's in pain?"
Voices: "It is angry. It is afraid."
Angel: "I'm more afraid of her dying than she is. What is that?"

- Birthday
Cordy: "You don't remember me, do you?"
Angel: "I was there. I wanted to die. But - but I was - was afraid to die. So afraid to die. One seven one."
Cordy: "Shh, Angel, it's okay. Everything is gonna be okay."

- Birthday

(Cordelia and Angel are lying in bed with Connor.)
Cordy: "I'm just saying a boat."
Angel: "No. College fund."
Cordy: "Yes. College fund and pay our bills and put a down payment on a boat."
Angel: "We're not getting a boat."
Cordy: "Hmm, they're fun."
Angel: "They're expensive. And when would I go on this boat, hmm?"
Cordy: "Moonlight sails. - Okay. - College fund - pay our bills - and rent a ski condo in Aspen."
Angel: "Ski condo?"
Cordy: "There's got to be some fun in our lives."
Angel: "Hmm - I like a ski condo."
Cordy: "Sure. Snow. Trees. Chipmunk robots on ice..."
Angel: "Chipmunk robots... - on ice..."

- Provider
Angel: "What have I got to offer her?"
Lorne: "Do I even have to answer that? You just have to act, Angel. You
gotta let her know what's brewing inside. 'cause, man,
it's real and - and you don't wanna miss that shot!"

- Waiting in the Wings
Cordy: "I want you to undress me."
Angel: "(shocked) You what?"
Cordy: "It's just another costume. I want you to see who I really am.
You're the only one who can."
Angel: "I... This isn't us. Cordelia (licks his lips) we're acting this out. Someone is..."
Cordy: "Whoa! Did - did I actually just ask you to undress me?"
Angel: "Is that what you want?"
Cordy: "What if he finds us?"
Angel: "I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid of anything."
Cordy: "(whispering) I'm only alive when you're inside me."

- Waiting in the Wings
Cordy: "Hi. It's me."
Angel: "Hi! Cor. How are you?"
Cordy: "I'm good. You?"
Angel: "I'm pretty good."
Cordy: "Uhm, Angel, I sort of need to talk to you, in person."
Angel: "Is it something - bad?"
Cordy: "No! No, it's something good. I think. Well, it sort of depends on how you feel."
Angel: "About what?"
Cordy: "Well, about me."

- Tomorrow
"Were we in love?"

But this season took Cordelia to places she never should have gone, had Angel randomly turning into Angelus (but behind bars shouting taunts at people, which was rather silly) and Connor generally being a jackass to everyone except Evil!Cordelia and Jasmine. All in all, it was a complete mess. It was not the show I had known and enjoyed.

Nailed it. I never bought that Jasmine orchestrated every major event in the series.
That was just a half-assed last minute tie in.

Inside Out was a good episode for reminding the audience that Angel, despite everything, was still in love with the REAL Cordelia and therefore did not want to kill her, even if it wasn't her anymore.


But it tried to serve the purpose of quickly explaining what had happened to Cordelia and why - and it ultimately failed in that area. Mostly because the writers can't fool us into thinking that there was a genuine reason other than punishing Charisma. And knowing that, it just really sucks.

I mean, do you remember Skip's convenient speech to the gang in 'Inside Out' about how everything they did was fated ("Gunn's sister, Wesley with Lilah, Fred in Pylea")? The writers were just reaching for a valid excuse for the atrocity of the Jasmine story line, when in fact, it seemed done to destroy Cordelia (and thus, punishing Charisma for daring to have a real life.)
I repressed Jasmine 'orchestrating everything' until I read your post.

That made me so mad.

It was like saying 'our entire show up until now has been pointless because our characters were played like puppets, thanks for wasting your time watching'.

It was such a catastrophically stupid writing decision. It undermined their entire show and left the viewer feeling betrayed.

Actually, I felt the caged portion of the Angelus arc, in spite of that his being spawned in the first place was OOC idiocy on Wesley's part was quite brilliant with it's Hannibal atmosphere. Once he was free, however, it was nonsense--most of it. I did like 'Orpheus'.

Agreed, I love the scene where Angel confronts Skip demanding to know what happened to his Cordy and I'm sorry but I got a huge kick out of his not even noticing when Skip referenced Buffy.

Though Jordy's statement "Took you long enough" when Angel declared that "This thing is not Cordelia" was the truest thing out of her mouth.
One of the most irritating aspects of season 4 is how long it takes for Angel to realize that something was wrong with Cordy, that she wasn't his Cordy.

That whole notion, that Jasmine orchestrated the entire series is absurd, I never bought it. She was quite clearly full of herself, the whole beast master plot was just an elaborate distraction more focused on making a big noise than practicality.

Ahh, S4. Possibly the most confusing Buffyverse season, at least for me. I'm not quite sure how much control Jasmine had over Cordelia, and it gets more and more confusing for me with each rewatch. I used to think it was a case of possession, that Jasmine just took over Cordy's body, but I think it's a little more complicated than that. There were moments where Cordy would seem really confused about her actions, and where it seemed like the real Cordy was in there somewhere. My theory is that Cordy was being mind-controlled and influenced to do things she wouldn't do (the thing with Connor), and the mind-control got worse and worse as the season went on, to the point where it was Jasmine fully controlling the show and our Cordy was lost.

I remember hearing that in the original plans for S4, Cordelia herself was supposed to be the real villain until CC got pregnant, and I think the season would have been WAY better if that had happened. At least, it would have been INTERESTING. What pisses me off more than anything about S4-Cordy is that she's not a character. She's a plot device. The show traded away a whole character for the sake of plot.

I have a love/hate relationship with "Inside Out". The scenes with Connor, "Darla" and "Cordy" were great. But I hate the ridiculous "Jasmine planned everything" retcon and Angel's readiness to kill Cordy after hearing she was possessed pissed me off. Skip tells the gang that the only way to stop "Cordy" is to kill her, Angel broods for like two seconds and then immediately decides to kill her. That always rang false to me. Compare it to BtVS S2 where it took Buffy half a season to gather the emotional strength to kill Angel, and the writing Angel-wise for "Inside Out" really sucks and undermines his feelings for Cordy.

Either way, the writers really messed up and I think they knew that. The memory wipe erasing Connor and nearly all of the S4 events from their mind felt like an admission on their part on how far they had taken the show. Connor, Cordy, Jasmine and S4 in general barely being mentioned in the first half of S5 felt like the writers were hoping we'd forget about it.

Cordy was never lost. She establishes in 'You're Welcome' that she was there the entire time:
"You remember?"
"Last year? Yeah, I remember everything--pretty much, at least until I slipped into slumberland."

After admitting it, she then illustrates it with her apology to Wesley for Lilah.
It was initially established by Skip in 'Inside Out' but as far as I'm concerned it wasn't reliable information until it came from Cordy herself.

You've told me about that, the inverted Dark Willow concept right? Where she gets a vision of human kind's destruction and goes power mad with the need to save it, climaxing with a battle between her and Angel.
That doesn't sound to me like she'd have been the villain per say. She would have been fighting for the right cause just not the right way.
It would have tied in quite well with her conviction in 'To Shanshu in LA':
"I saw them all, and they're in so much pain. We have to help them."

More than that, I felt as though the writers wanted to erase that Cordy was ever there because she's the only one whose mentions don't increase much in the second half of the season (despite that it fits that Angel finds it too painful to discuss her) and how the team tried to set Angel up with Nina two minutes after Cordy had been hospitalized, then again two minutes after she died (It's established that 'Power Play' is two months subsequent to 'You're Welcome' which puts 'Smile Time' at no more than two weeks)! The latter irks me to no end!
Not to mention TGIQ but I hardly acknowledge that as part of the canon because it was 50 shades of disrespectful ****, not just to Cordy but to every other character involved (Angel, Spike, Buffy, and Nina, hell even Fred arguably because Wesley was faced with honoring her last wish and failed)!

Perhaps we should remain in more pleasant discussion. Of course, it's destruction was a significant part of Cordy and Angel's relationship but we are here to celebrate what it was, are we not?

Straws, excellent GIF set.
Buffy's worst moments were in 'Sanctuary' as was one of Angel's finest acts, helping Faith.
The second part is ironic. Not only did Harmony remain in L.A but became Angel's secretary in S5 and betrayed him.

OMG. Poor Cordy. In a way it would've been better if she couldn't remember it. I guess she really was there, trapped in her own body but unable to do anything, during Jasmindelia.

Exactly It made a mockery of the characters' journeys and undermined the viewing audience.

The displeasure shows on Charisma Carpenter's face, the ENTIRE Season 4. She doesn't have a damn clue how she's supposed to portray the character (through no fault of her own), and she's visibly uncomfortable during the intimate scenes with Connor. The one time she actually looked comfortable was during the 'Spin the Bottle' episode where she got to play an actual REAL version of Cordelia.

I did like 'Orpheus'.
I enjoyed seeing real-life couple Alexis and Alyson in scenes together and the best thing about S4 was Wesley and Faith, who had previously been enemies, coming together as a duo to fight Angelus.

But I hated Willow having to face Evil!Cordy.... That scene in the bedroom where Evil!Cordy is about to kill her was very sad to me.

Yeah, I noticed that too. Can't fault CC tho, the stuff that she, as a pregnant woman, was being asked to do was disgusting.

She has stated her discomfort with the Connor actor.

"I felt more uncomfortable with Connor, because we haven't had seven years to bond, so I don't know him. And I'm pregnant, so I'm more abundant than usual--there's more to maneuver around. With David, I don't know, it's kind of ironic. It was very comfortable. I was at ease. I think we have great chemistry--we sync up really well. We're there."
~ Charisma Carpenter, Feb. 2003

I've only watched season 4 the one time and the one instance of discomfort on her face that I recall is during the bed portion of the 'Awakening' sex though that was with DB. I attribute that to her pregnancy not him.

On that note, I was royally pissed off when 'Awakening' turned out to not be real.

The reason I love 'Orpheus' is for the Faith/Angelus memory walk and the face-off between the two personas, Angel and Angelus. Epic!
This is the point where I came to truly appreciate Faith as a character, her growth and her sisterly devotion to Angel were fantastic.
I also liked Faith's interactions with Gunn.

Seeing Aly and Alexis together again was, of course, a delight.
Fun Fact: Charisma has admitted to once having a crush on Alexis, I believe during the time Cordy was dating Wesley.

I as well hated the Jordy/Willow scenes, that Willow had to see Cordy that way particularly without ever finding out what was really going on with her. I'm grateful that she apparently never told anyone but still what she must have thought is painful to acknowledge.

I had to share this epic smack down I saw on tumblr

I mean, Joss literally restructured an entire season of the show to accommodate Charisma’s pregnancy, and she wasn’t written off until after she gave birth. Joss is no saint, but I’m tired of hearing this particular argument. Lots of characters we love get written off shows. It doesn’t have to be about a pregnancy.
oh dude dude dude, how I wish you hadn’t made this comment because now I HAVE to reply, and I’ll be annoying as **** and I will lose a ton of followers but I MUST. REPLY. TO. THIS.

I’m not at all surprised that a white male is the one coming to Joss’s rescue, but I won’t get into that. I’m more interested in explaining why you’re so. fundamentally. wrong. about. everything.

Let’s start with this:
Lots of characters we love get written off shows. It doesn’t have to be about a pregnancy.

This is all fine and dandy, and I agree. It doesn’t have to be about a pregnancy. And I raise your bet. It shouldn’t be about a pregnancy. It mustn’t be about a pregnancy.

Except Joss Whedon actually wrote Cordelia off precisely because Charisma dared get pregnant and mess with his vision of the show. It’s not about the fact that Cordelia was written off, it’s about how her character was completely eviscerated and destroyed because Joss suddenly had a personal vendetta against the actress playing the character solely based on the fact that whatever she wanted to do with her body and personal life happened to ruin his plans for the character.

This wasn’t a writing choice. This wasn’t part of Cordelia’s arc before Charisma got pregnant. I could totally get it if that was the case. Cordelia was put in a coma (and later killed off) because Charisma got pregnant. I repeat: this wasn’t Cordelia’s original arc. She wasn’t supposed to die. Her pregnancy was the reason she was killed off.
“Oh, but…
I mean, Joss literally restructured an entire season of the show to accommodate Charisma’s pregnancy “

So what? Should we give him an award because he was writing his show a.k.a. doing his job? A job he was getting paid for? Should we praise him because he didn’t fire Charisma on the spot? Should we congratulate him because he accommodated Charisma’s pregnancy, something that every boss in every workplace is legally bound to do?

Women get pregnant. Actresses get pregnant. That literally happens all the time. Writers have to either write the pregnancy into the show or hide it. It happens all the time. Everyone does it. It’s not something unheard of! Writers deal because that’s their freaking job. That’s what they do!

Now, Joss could’ve chosen to hide Charisma’s pregnancy. There literally was no reason for him to write the pregnancy into the show. And there certainly was no reason for him to write the pregnancy into the show the way he did. That was a deliberate choice on his part because he was trying to get back at Charisma.
“Oh but…
she wasn’t written off until after she gave birth. “

How does this make what he did any better? Of course he wasn’t about to fire a pregnant actress because then his intentions would’ve been blatantly obvious and she could’ve sued him and the network. Oh, I’m sure he tried, though. I’m sure someone stopped him. So for you, it’s okay if a woman is fired from her job after she gives birth… that makes it all okay, somehow?

I’ll humor you for a bit. Let’s say that this was all part of Cordelia’s arc and it all just happened to coincide with her pregnancy/giving birth to her baby. Then how do you explain her finding out about getting written off the show through the media? Yes, you read that right. She found out she was unemployed because journalists asked her about her leaving the show she still thought she was a part of. Please, defend this. I’m begging you. Try and defend it.
Joss is no saint, but I’m tired of hearing this particular argument.

Listen up, I’m mostly on the fence about Joss Whedon, on a general basis. I do feel that sometimes the amount of hate he gets is a bit over the top, albeit not completely unjustified. BUT I WILL FOREVER FIGHT ANYONE ABOUT HOW HE TREATED CHARISMA BECAUSE SHE GOT PREGNANT.

Because, you know, (and I know, I’m getting repetitive) it wasn’t just about the fact that she was written off the show. Charisma has spoken multiple times about how she was badly treated on set during season 4. From little things like the AWFUL AWFUL wardrobe they gave her during that season, to bigger things like how they made it their goal to destroy seven seasons of character development by turning her into a demon’s vessel and have us witness our beloved character doing despicable things ranging from murder to sleeping with Angel’s son, all because… yes, you guessed it, SHE GOT PREGNANT.

It’s also about the fact that after she was treated like ****, and he wanted her to come back to the show for one episode during season 5, he convinced her under false pretenses. She accepted to be in You’re Welcome ONLY if Cordelia wasn’t killed off. Well, you know the rest, don’t you?

So, I’m 100% not sorry if you’re tired of hearing about this. I don't’ give a rat’s ass if you or anyone else is tired of hearing this. I will continue to shout it every I chance I get. because the bottom line is, everything that was done to Charisma and Cordelia was
BECAUSE SHE GOT PREGNANT.
