The EARTHLY POSSESSIONS storyline finishes, and to be honest, it's a bit of disappointment.

A little investigative work has Angel quickly on the trail of Gaetano Noe.  Meanwhile, the not-so-good Father has problems of his own, with his band of demons getting restless and a certain LA law firm finding his case too much of a liability.

The inevitable fight sees Angel kicking a little demon ass, but apart from an unexpected reappearance from Doyle's ex Harry, the story peters out, and yet again, the conclusion leaves us with the possibility of a sequel. 

Now that there are only two regular characters, it's surely fair enough to expect both of them to be given a decent slice of the action?  However, while Angel is out kicking butt, Cordelia gets very little to do, and has about one half-decent line (although she gives a cute wink when she says it).

Harry's return allows for some reflection on the loss of Doyle, but even so, the story doesn't really justify its three part length.  Splitting the story either side of Doyle's death made the first couple of parts more interesting than they would have been otherwise, but this part had far too little going on.
