Other mistake: Towards the end of the episode when Spike tells Buffy to stake him and removes his shirt, you can see that he has a tan on his upper back/neck to his hairline from wearing a t-shirt.
I Was Made To Love You - S5-E15
Other mistake: According to Buffy's watch, the first scene with her, Dawn and Joyce starts at 4:23 PM and ends at 4:24 PM. But the scene lasts much longer than that.





Chosen answer: He had larangitis and because of the shooting specifications they had to have him shoot the scene with a bad throat, they then re-recorded his lines and dubbed them. At various points during the scene and indeed the episode you can see him touch his throat or rub it.
