Honestly, yeah. I was very late to the party with watching this show but when I got to this part, knowing it had happened, all I could think was that it made perfect sense from a character arc/narrative, one that had been being built for ages.

Was it fun to watch? No. But it made sense for the characters and the story.

it was IC for both of them and added to the overarching dramatic storyline.

for all of Joss Whedon's faults, which are multitude, this was not one of them. I feel like fandom defaults to this moment as proof of Whedon's shit when it wasn't even in the top 20 of shitty things he did to his actors or the story.

Wasn't this in Marti's era of the show too?

maybe?? I'm not there yet on my latest rewatch. There's a LOT we didn't know in the 90s/00s about our favorite series based on writers and directors that make a lot more sense now that we know directors and writers had so much influence on the characters versus what the actors were bringing us.

+2 I always saw it as a culmination of their horrifically unhealthy relationship. It was always going to go too far. And the fact that it was treated, by the narrative and the characters, as too far--especially Spike--helped as well.
