Well, apparently, it was never supposed to be there in the first place.
The Spoilers posted last July at AICN for the first 10 eps were pretty
spot on, up until ep 9, "Killing Chronos", which is "Normal Again"
before the title got changed. And the original spoilers for "Tabula
Rasa" (then called "Asylum") said "Buffy deals with having slept with
Spike".

So I guess what ME had planned was for B/S to hit the hay after "OMWF"
(as I've said before, the next two eps are pointless for this arc; who
would have been surprised if "TR" had started with them waking up
together?) and for Buffy to have her "back to normal" catharsis in ep 9,
not 17. Then apparently Marti decided she didn't have enough plot and
decided to fill the holes with lots and lots of repetitive Spuffy (the
story that went nowhere for 9 eps). Besides, this way she could make
her boy Riley the hero. :gag:

who thinks (and has written) that Spuffy should have hit the sheets in
"Flooded" and broken up in "OMWF". If you're going to do desperate,
depression-born stuff, you do it quickly, when the pain is rawest. For
Buffy to push Spike away for months and THEN give in because life sucks
is silly, IMO.
