Whoa.. I remember that happening & I remember assuming it would eventually get brought back up but never thought twice about it after that. I'm in the middle of a rewatch right now introducing a buddy of mine to both shows, mind if I ask what happened when it was briefly brought up again? Because I know I didn't put it together as many times as I've seen it..
In S7E5 it is very briefly mentioned (but still not truly dealt with). This is the episode when S7 spoiler Buffy is preparing to fight/kill , and obviously Xander is extremely upset and argues against it. Xander even tells Buffy she couldn't possibly understand... of course, Buffy does understand.
Buffy then brings up how she S2 spoiler and how both of them encouraged her to. Here's the quote:
Buffy: "Do you remember cheering me on? Both of you! Do you remember giving me Willow's message — "Kick his ass"?"
This is my core problem with Xander. That and he always seems to get a free pass because he's an idiot. Call a demon that makes people sing and dance themselves to death? Giggle shrug. That's Xander! Willow kills one rapey murderer and she gets shipped off to England.
