Then, Cordy gets knocked up because she dares to sleep with a man. Suddenly eight months pregnant, she becomes increasingly protective of her unborn child while Angel and Wesley try to figure out what’s happening. The answer lies in the female friends Cordy suddenly acquired since last episode.

“Expecting” coverage starts at 52:20.

• When did Kate become an expert profiler?
• Jeremy Renner might well be a vampire
• This show continues to age up Cordelia
