at the end of the series wesley talks about watcher training
to resist magic and deceptions
so if billy evoked something already in wesley
wesley has deal with not being as civilized as he think
if instead billy infected wesley with something new
its still a failure for wesley for not resisting the magic

while intellectually fred could understand
i doubt that emotionally she would be over it
ive assumed they were also playing with the expectation
that of course the pretty white girl would go with the civilized white man
instead of the black street kid
(an expectation many more viewers would have than would want to admit)

i find the flowers for algernon bit rather sad
for the third time darla gets a soul
and she finally gets it - what it means to really love
but its a borrowed soul and she knows she will have to give it up
losing not just the ability to love but even the memories of love
i like to think darlas last appearance to connor
is her soul finally at peace
