Zaphe: In 'Intervention', Buffy's mom had just died (like, 2 weeks ago or so) so they were all very understanding, thinking she was an emotional mess, not really realizing what she was doing. And, as Mike pointed out in his review for that episode -if I recall correctly- the whole thing between the Scoobies and the BuffyBot was just weird and slightly out of character (because they should have realized it was a robot).
Of course, Buffy IS an emotional mess at that point of season 6, worse than at anytime in season 5 for sure, but I don't think the Scoobies -except dear Tara obviously- would see it that way. Everybody is very much wrapped up in their own 'growing up' world at that point, nobody knows how badly she's still feeling...especially since they obviously don't see each other that much. And we see how Xander reacts when he actually learns about later; sure, he calms down and all, but as always, he's first impulse is to be very judgmental and harsh about it.
Buffy being in the weak and depressed state that she is at this point, I can completely understand why she's so scared of her friends finding out what she's doing. She sees herself as being terribly WRONG; it makes perfect sense to me that she believes her friends will see her just like that: Wrong.
Mike: I've been reading your reviews thoroughly for the last 2 weeks! I'm (rerererere) watching the whole show, and I've discovered your reviews when I started season 5, 2 weeks ago; since then, I've been watching the episodes and then reading your analysis; I LOVE them :) It is so nice to have such detailed (and positive!) comments on Season 6, which is, as you stated before, greatly disliked by the fans; personally, it has always been one of my favorite seasons, even more now, since I'm becoming more aware of many deep meanings. Just for that, thank you so much!
