Indeed but it's amazing how it's kind of obvious and yet you don't see it. Well, I didn't.
I didn't catch it the first time either and was hit with sneak attack feels on re-watch.

I love how despite her character growth, just the right parts of Queen C never changed, like the shopping and her fashion sense.

Post-WITW season 3 doesn't count because it was so OOC.
Agreed.

There is a theory that the "part-demon" Cordy was transformed into was, in fact, Jasmine's higher powers and that they had a gradual effect on her behavior.
1. I do believe she was made part higher being as opposed to part demon based on the little we see of her powers.
2. This would explain her bizarre cleansing of Connor, how she sounded more like Jasmine than Cordy despite it being pre-higher-plane meaning it was supposed to have been the real Cordy.
I subscribe to this theory. It makes the most sense, insofar as anything in S4 can make sense.

Also, further backing this theory, is that Cordy was back to being our Cordy in YW. She had her 'pre-demonized' personality back completely. Which was a Cordy who had grown and changed but who still maintained the core of what made her Cordy, like her Queen C attitude and confidence, etc.

I could be the one wrong. I shouldn't have gone from memory since it's been a while since I read the story.
I'm pretty sure it was in one of these lists of BTS stuff:
Gellar auditioned for the role of Sunnydale High queen bee Cordelia Chase before eventually being cast as Buffy. “At the time, we were all trying to find our way to make the show something, its own thing apart from the film,” Schulman said in The Watchers Guide. “We didn’t think of Sarah as Buffy because we thought she was too smart and too grounded and not enough of a misfit in a sense, because Buffy was this outsider. How could Sarah be an outsider? She’s so lovely. So we brought her in as Cordelia, and she was fantastic as Cordelia. Then we went to the network, they knew that Sarah was a star from her previous work, and that she could be Buffy, and that we could do that Buffy.”

SMG & CC were perfectly cast imo and I adore both the performances they gave so much to this day.

Also, this is cracking me up:

6. DAVID BOREANAZ WAS DISCOVERED BY THE CASTING DIRECTOR’S FRIEND.

Whedon, the network, and the casting director saw a number of guys read for Buffy's eventual boyfriend (and vampire!) Angel before David Boreanaz auditioned. “The breakdown said the most gorgeous, mysterious, fantastic, the most incredible man on the face of the earth,” Shulman said. “I think I saw every guy in town. It was the day before shooting, and a friend of mine and called me and said to me ‘You know, there’s this guy that lives on my street who walks his dog every day and I don’t know what he does but he has all the things you’re describing.’ And the minute he walked in the room, I wrote down on my notes: This is the guy.”

Still, despite the fact that Boreanaz gave “very good read,” Whedon wasn’t sold on him. “He wasn’t exactly my type,” he said. “I wasn’t sure we necessarily had the guy here until I asked the women in the room, who had turned into puddles the moment he walked in. I had to defer to them—they seemed to know better than me, and thank god I did, because David turned into a great star and a very solid actor.”

That quote with the graphic.
That quote fits perfectly.
