There's a lot to dislike about this episode. Angel's insistence on lying to Cordelia feels like the writers trying too hard to come up with a way to drive her away from Angel. The way Angel talks to and about Connor also grates. It feels condescending. 'You tried, I appreciate it.' and 'Connor's a great fighter, I helped train him.' He was a great fighter before he ever met you! Pretty much the only parts I like are the Lilah and Wesley scenes - both the relationship stuff and Lilah playing Wesley. I wonder how they finally told her everything. Maybe they just put the Buffy S1-3 and Angel S1-3 DVD boxes on? It'd be easier than trying to remember everything... The episode title is a reference to a poem by W. B. Yeats, The Second Coming. It references apocalyptic imagery and ends with 'And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?' So Lorne is saying that the apocalypse is coming.
