The Loa is yet another powerful entity which tells the future and gives cryptic prophecies. To summon it forth you are required to find it's statue, then sprinkle a magical powder and say ''Mange sec Loa, alegba, accept this offering and open the gates of truth.''

Cool Quotes

Loa: ''Your insolence is displeasing.''
Wesley: ''You try chatting with a cranky hamburger.''
A badly needed comic scene during so much angst, I loved it.

References

Sahjhan: ''What, is your part? Recruiting a bunch of paramilitary moonie freaks, who run around playing Candid Camera with Angel's buddies? That's crap. Admit it. You're a coward, and I bet Caroline would agree. You remember her, don't you? Your dead wife? Mother of your dead kids? How'd they die? Who swore revenge? Any of this ringing a bell?''
Candid Camera is...

Trivia

Although Charisma Carpenter was credited in this episode as a star, she did not appear in any scenes except the ''Previously on Angel'' segment.

When this episode was first broadcast it had a commercial for Verizon Wireless set with the actor superimposed in scenes from Angel and with the Angel theme music playing in the background. Listen to the commercial here.

I have heard rumor that Connor and the other two babies were played by the three babies who usually trade off playing Connor.
