Apprently, this episode was written in a hurry. The three writers, which is rare to have three writers credited, had to come up with something on the fly cause they were not quite ready to get back to the overarching story of the season. I believe it was an interview with David Fury who said that they got together on how to follow up on the Hush epsiode and were allegedly hung over. They admit the episode had a lot of problems but were running out of time. They just tried to pump a lot of humor into it hoping it's still be entertaining nonetheless.

BTW, just for the record, Spike speaking with a bad American accent is kind of funny given that the actor is actually American.

This episode is one of the worst of season 4
But....we get exposition
Spike can hurt demons but not humans.
And Buffy and Riley...

Is that...
Envy and resentment?

One thing that did happen, is Spike realized he can fight demons/vampires without pain. That comes into play a lot going forward.
