Buffy and Angel’s first lovemaking in “Surprise” is precisely forecast by their first kiss in “Angel”…The passion of the first kiss overcomes Angel to the degree that he loses control and vamps out, his face transforming to display the feral monster he carries within. The pattern predicts exactly his response to their first lovemaking (le grand baiser, the big kiss, the French call it): its passion, his happiness, results in his becoming fully monstrous when he loses his soul.
