It was interesting to get to know Data's family as they come to Sunnydale wanting to take her home and reminiscent of many parents who miss their child. Yet I find there methods of controlling her to be abusive as they convince her she cursed to be a demon and can't have friends who will think she's repulsive. Throughout the while process they only play mind games messing with her mentally and account for her low self esteem. Yet the scoobies stick up for her proving that family is more then blood and even close friends or a relationship can be your family.
Another aspect is Spike's growing attraction towards Buffy as he fantasies about her and even rushes off to warn her of a demon attack. I'm starting to question rather vampires can love or not and if it isn't obsessive. He shows general concern when Harmony gossips about the pending battle, rushes off post haste as if time isn't on his side and even tackles a demon about to strike. In a way of he can love without a soul he'll be unique for a soulless creature to care more about another person them destruction and echoes.
