I think the real impact of that line is seeing that Illyria is capable of considering Gunn (or any human other than Wesley) as an individual. That she's thinking of herself as an ex-god, instead of a temporarily inconvenienced god.

The evil is this way?
I think Illyria loved Wesley more than Fred did.
Yep. He went all crazy for her and everything. What more could a girl immortal being ask for?

Wes hasn't been rational over anything for quite a while. I mean, by those lights, Connor should have boffed him, not Cordy.
