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.
