When Darla appears to Connor in 4.17 Inside Out, he is the only person who can see her. This is similar to the M.O. of The First, who was at the time terrorizing Sunnydale.
It may be possible that the First foresaw the arrival of Jasmine and might have wanted to ward off anything that might interfere with it’s own apocalypse, and was thus trying to convince Connor to not bring it forth. Pure speculation, but fun speculation nonetheless.

DARLA: The Powers have sent me to give you a message.
I think the PTB gave Darla that opportunity to convince Connor not to go through with the sacrifice. Like how they allowed Cordelia to appear in “You’re Welcome”. I think Darla’s selfless act allowed her amoment to help save her son.

I watched “Inside Out” again last night and Steven DeKnight talks about how Darla was sent by the PTB. :o)
