Out Of My Mind

In which Riley worries more about the state of his relationship than the state of his heart, Spike finally finds a doctor he likes, and Joyce collapses. Hope they have good insurance.

Official back-of-box synopsis:

Riley's health begins to worsen after months of being used as a human lab rat for the Initiative. Meanwhile, Spike has his own plans to return to his evil ways by reversing what the Initiative did to him.

From the old WB Buffy website:

STAND BY YOUR MAN - Buffy is in a race against time when the physical aftereffects of Riley's being used as a lab rat by The Initiative threatens his very life. When Riley stubbornly refuses help and goes into hiding, Buffy reluctantly turns to Spike for help, but he takes advantage of her situation for his own plot to rid his life of the slayer once and for all.
