A new arc of Angel and Faith kicks off this week with Daddy Issues. It starts with Angel stumbling into trouble, not so unusual for him, but it isn’t of the vampire or demon kind, at least not on the surface. He finds a madman cutting up some elderly.

And we get some Giles back story. Looks like Buffy wasn’t the only one that didn’t get a choice in her career plan. Giles’s pops pushed him into the family business, and he had to endure plenty of traumas, nearly lost his life at the hands of a Lorophage demon.

Over on the slayer side, Faith stops one of the slayers from making the same mistake she did, one that sent her spiraling out of control on a dark path. The cause of strife seems to point to Mother Superior, a vampire who is technically playing by the rules, but Faith seems to think is behind something bigger.

Angel and Faith share some intel, and their cases easily become connected, leading to a much bigger threat out there, a pet Lorophage demon is driving people insane from the sound of things and Faith is determined to stop it.

Mother Superior has a thing for churches, and so did Angel long ago. The memories aren’t pleasant ones, they anger him, but the past has come back and it may just bite him in the butt.

This is a great way to kick off a new arch. Old faces in new places. Love it. The issue really builds on the history we already know, and adds a little something more. And the twist at the very end was perfection.
