Julie Benz is a great actress -- notice the difference between Darla the Evil and Darla the Human... (and, if you like Dexter, also Rita). What always gets me in this episode is how Darla had made peace with the idea of dying. It's not just how much Angel was ready to give for her, including his own (un)life, and how much he suffered and cared. It was that the human Darla, despite having had a horrible life (sold into prostutition by her family, never having anyone treat her like a human being, hunger, death of others, and finally the disease that was going to kill her if the Master didn't intervene), still had enough of a heart -- of a soul -- to understand how much Angel cared about her, and to let this single fact affect her. She was ready to die. She was... finally... at peace. But Lindsey had to have his damsel, didn't he? Even if now she will be completely incapable of returning his feelings. Even if all Darla the Evil could do, assuming she has some particles of gratitude left, is pretend. Angel: a study in frustrated heroics.
