At first, Connor listens and is indeed feeling a bit more hopeful. But then Angel's question is like being suckerpunched. His first instinctive reaction is to lash out. Unfair and vicious and using Angel as a target because of course that is the forbidden thing he has been wondering ever since telling Kara he'd rather have Harry turned into a vampire than let him die.
"How can you ask me that? That would be like my father never existed."
Yes, he deliberately uses this term for Holtz. To hurt Angel. He pushes his chair back, and the anger in his voice is as cutting as it ever was two years ago.
"That would be your final victory over him. Then you'd have everything, right? You took his family, you drove him to make a pact with demon, and then he killed himself when he saw you and me together and then you made me care for you, and then everthing he ever believed in gets betrayed!"
And of course he has managed not to answer the question anywhere in this entire (self-loathing) rant.
