Recap / Angel

"A guilty soul's his curse to bear
But did the Gypsies do his hair?
He moved to L.A. when he left Buffy.
During five years of sturm und drang
He found others to join his gang
But in 2004 the network said 'No more.'
At least he got to be a puppet and had fights galore.
He beat up stalkers, became a father
Helped destroy his godlike granddaughter
Then went to work for the Senior Partners.
Vengeance and action and lots of door-smashing: that was Angel."
