You just gave me one of those "Why didn't I think of this years ago?" moments. While there's certainly something to be said for letting Xander and Willow both grow up a little more before they finally get together (early fourth season has been my preference), "When She Was Bad" was certainly a pivotal moment in the series, and the shock Xander suffered at the Bronze at Buffy's hands should have knocked some sense into him. It's fun to picture a second season progressing from this point (and a little scary, given the obvious targets it would present to Angelus later on).
Nice work. :-)
