The fact that the season ends with "Restless" instead of "Primeval" shows that in the end the Initiative wasn't really a very important part of the season anyway.<br/><br/>But that's just my opinion as a S4 fan :D I also loved your story, Rafa, I really like seeing that my favorite show has made a difference in someone’s life. :-)

It’s great how a show can really impact on a person in a positive way. William Shatner said before making the Star Trek movies, that his best fan story was about a group of vets in Vietnam, who used to talk about their favourite episodes and credited it with helping keep them sane in the jungle. Just as BTVS helped inspire Rafa to overcome a crisis and also Allison from episode 9 after surviving Katrina and having to start alone at a new college.
