Yes, I agree. I think that's pretty much the plot for Season 8 which Joss came up with. :-)
I do disagree that it's out of character for Angel, though I suspect we may have to agree to disagree on that one. In my eyes, Angel always needs a Whistler or a Buffy or a Doyle or a Cordelia to kick him into getting involved actively with people, even people he cares about. His natural instinct is always to fade away into the shadows and manipulate from a distance. He did it with Buffy in Season 1, he did it with Connor at the end of Ats Season 4.
