elisheva_mThis is just something I wrote as a reply to someone's question on MDL. Don't read it if you haven't seen Century of Love as there are significant spoilers. Enough I'm going to cut AND hide it :) Parking a copy here because it will get lost on MDL soon enough and I won't remember it next week.
Given that Third fell for Wee but walked past Wadfah without any recognition, I think:
* Wee has Wad's soul, which is what matters and why both Third and San fell for Wee
* Unless the curse/cure worked differently than the 4th generation doctor/savant (Tao) understood, at least one of them was Wad.
* Wadfah may have gotten the physical aspect of Wad (evidence for: same birthday as Wee), or maybe her appearance was just an extreme family resemblance.
* It might be body and soul had to work together and they didn't have enough episodes to explore that or chose not to.
* From Third's lack of reaction to Wadfah, I see no reason to think she's Wad and Wee isn't.
* San realised the importance of being in the moment rather than living for the expectation that things will be a certain way (Wad reincarnating as female with a similar personality, neither had Wad's personality). Which is still true even if Wee is Wad.
* He wouldn't have realised this as strongly if it had been clear that Wee is Wad and it's better for their relationship going forward to let go of the past.
So San's interpretation may be less evidential than Third's reactions to Wee and Wadfah. Ergo, Wee is Wad but San loves him as Wee.
Yes, I've been thinking about this too much. Thanks for giving me an excuse to write it down :D :D.
