Connor swaps hell for LA.

Connor is back, all grown up after a troubled childhood in Quor'toth, where time runs at a different rate. After attacking his father, Connor flees - leaving a dangerous dimensional rift active in the hotel lobby.

Wesley, meanwhile, receives a visit from Lilah - an attempt to woo him to the dark side and a position at Wolfram and Hart.

Connor falls in with Sunny - an addict - but must team up with Angel in order to fend off her dangerous friends when she overdoses.

Back at the hotel, Mistress Meerna, a mystical friend of Lorne's, seals the dimensional rift. Connor spurns Angel's offers of help, turning to his surrogate father Holtz (who has also returned from Quor'toth) instead.

Quiz - ten quick questions.

Trivia: Vincent Kartheiser exposed a whole new aspect of Connor during his first big fight scene out on location. An over-ambitious kick ripped a hole in the crotch of his trousers - on the one day he happened to be going Commando.

"From about the base of my butt all the way around to about the nape of my tummy there was a big old gaping hole. It was one of the days, I don't know what happened to me that morning, but I hadn't worn underpants. So I looked down and everything was quite exposed," he told us. We'll have a full interview coming soon.

Holtz has renamed Connor, calling him Stephen. The name Stephen derives from the Greek for "crowned," after Christianity's first martyr Saint Stephen.

Lilah offers Wesley a 401K as part of his Wolfram and Hart benefits package. It's basically a standard US pension fund, and a rather good one. We suspect Wesley will be more tempted by the big shiny books with demons in them.
