More Riley stuff because I love him. Pooh on the Riley haters!
From EW.com's weekly Buffy Watch.

The catalyst for the Slayer to finally detach, recognize and change was the return of Riley, who left Buffy last season for neglecting him. We learned in ''As You Were'' that Riley is now merrily chasing demons for the government and happily married to a fellow super-soldier. Poor Riley often suffered in comparison to Angel, so I was happy to see the character get his due; the writing seemed steeped in respect for the character, showing Buffy: ''Look at what you turned your back on.''
Gellar's early scenes with Blucas, in which she mooned over her studly ex-boyfriend, were funny and did justice to Riley; she fell short of soaking the him with drool. And in the end, Riley's return was just the sort of jolt Buffy needed to end her relationship with Spike and start rebuilding the broken parts inside her.
