Plot

cordelia learns that her visions will kill her unless she goes back in time and chooses a different path in life--one that doesn't involve angel.

Behind the Scenes

a 7-minute excerpt of cordy! was filmed on the redressed set of dharma & greg (1997), to give it a 'true sitcom feel'. tim minear explains, 'when you look at charisma carpenter, she does bear a resemblance to mary tyler moore and she's so funny, and we all sort of had this fetish fantasy of seeing her on a brightly lit sitcom stage with people laughing at her jokes.' however, the scene 'wasn't quite as funny as we wanted it to be,' admitted mere smith and so all but the opening credits were ultimately cut from the final episode, although the clip is available as a deleted scene on the dvd release.
