I'm trying to think of a single spoilery title. And I'm coming up blank.
"Fredless" is the example I've seen before. Also, possibly "Buffy v. Dracula."
But typically they don't give out huge screaming plot points.
Well, if we followed the recipe...should be cake. A demon-violence-free-zone cake.

"Halloween," "The Prom" and "Graduation Day" leap to mind,
I can't think of any plot-spoilery ep titles at all.
I should have clarified -- I can't think of any *plot*-spoilery titles. Not even "Fredless."
"Fredless" is the example I've seen before. Also, possibly "Buffy v. Dracula."
What does "Fredless" say about the plot? She comes back, so it's a contrary title.
Again, B vs. D basically tells us 2 of the characters who are going to appear in the episode. Nothing about the plot.

"Disharmony", although I didn't "get it" until after the fact.

That's the one ep of S3 I haven't seen yet, and even having read synopses, I can't figure out what the title gives away. Other than that it's an ep about Fred.

They're only spoilery in that hindsighty sort of way. Like Chosen or Potential.

Right. So unless Angel 5.1 is called "Hey! Gunn really IS a Giant Panther!", I think posting episode titles in the main thread is okay.

Only that they lose Fred for part of the ep. (I think -- haven't rewatched it since it was 1st broadcast.) Which was probably in the promo anyhow.
Really, the *most* you could get from most ME ep titles is possibly the main character (or an important guest star) or setting, which are normally in the promos anyhow. I can't get anything plotty at all from knowing the writer(s), other than knowing the tone the writer typically takes.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Some of the Angel season 3 titles hinted. Dad and Lullabye come to mind.

What would you like the policy to be?
