When Cupid tells Phoebe about his breaking apart Drasi's relationship with a mortal woman, Phoebe is surprised to learn that a Demon can love. Why? She already knows that evil can love. She helped to battle Alec the Darklighter the previous season when he was trying to kill Leo for the exact same reason! edit »
When Drasi initially begins to "kill love" between Cindy and Max,he plants a number of fears about her being a gold digger and him still loving his ex-wife. However, Cupid later tells Phoebe he set them up the night before! Seems a little quick for those issues to even be an issue for Drasi to feed on! edit »
