. . . Rumblings from the world of Angel . . . Taken from various sources...~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The WB has released story information about "Conviction," the season premiere episode of Angel set to air on Wednesday, Oct. 1 at 9 p.m. (ET). ![-](http://www.comicscontinuum.com/stories/0309/15/angel1th.jpg)
Here's how the network describes the episode:
"Taking over the Los Angeles offices of the supernatural law firm Wolfram and Hart proves to be more challenging than expected for Angel and the gang, especially when their first case involves representing an evil client who threatens to destroy the city. As the gang settles into their new careers at the law firm, they meet new and familiar faces, including the mysterious Eve, who will act as Angel's liaison to Wolfram and Hart's senior partners, and the bubbly vampire Harmony who is Angel's new assistant. Most surprising of all is the arrival of Angel's old nemesis and fellow vampire-with-a-soul, Spike, who makes a miraculous appearance."
The episode was written and directed by Joss Whedon

* The First (the big nasty from the last season of Buffy), we learn, did an even shoddier job than expected. The Watchers Council still appears to up and running – or, at least, will be soon.
(Is this maybe why Buffy is in Europe?)
“Angel” casting execs indicate that for 5.7 they’re looking for someone to play Wesley’s dad, Roger Wyndam-Pryce, a representative of the council sent to evaluate whether Wes should be restored to its ranks.
But, wait, what about 5.6?
Script pages for that episode went out to casting agents Friday, and it seems the episode will center around an employee working in the Wolfram & Hart mailroom. He’s a former Mexican wrestler who did in the 1950s what Team Angel does now: ridding us of monsters and other ne’er-do-wells. Seems the wrestler, who went by the name “Number Five” once defeated a demon known as Tezcatcatl, “The Aztec Warrior,” who murdered his four wrestling brothers. Now that the creature has returned 50 years later, Angel needs Number Five’s help.
