Ok, so, I've been a huge fan of Buffy since as long as I can remember, but there's one thing that is befuddling me: The time that passes between each episode. So, in Season 6 Episode 17 (Normal Again) The Trio set loose a demon on Buffy that injects her with poison to make her delirious, and give her the impression that everything that has happened since Season 1 is a mere hallucination. After she is given the antidote and returns to normal, everything is good. In the next episode, (Entropy), Buffy says to Spike, "Last week I tried to kill my friends, my sister, and they don't hate me, so them finding out I slept with you wouldn't make them hate me". Now, disregard most of that statement, and pay attention to the bit in Bold. "Last Week". Now onto the main point, in Season 7, there is a great deal of urgency, obviously with The First, and Caleb roaming about, but, it seems like the danger is so great, that these episodes can't be a week apart in the BuffyVerse. It seems that when each episode is finished, only a day or two pass in the BuffyVerse and then we see the next episode. So, can someone tell me, How much DOES pass between each episode?
Passing Time?

Fair enough. I wish we had a definitive answer though. Too many things in the BuffyVerse are ambiguous, such as Normal Again, where Joss stated that it was an episode where the viewers can make their own mind up as to what the truth was, whether that be that Buffy really was in the Asylum the whole time, or whether everything was true, and it wasn't a figment of Buffy's imagination. I choose to believe the latter.

Don't we get a time stamp during Conversations With Dead People' telling us the exact date- then a few episdoes pass with not much time in between (Sleeper, Never Leave Me, Bring On The Night) and then suddenly its december?
The timeline in S7 makes no sense- and don't get me started on how the whole Jamine arc takes place between 'Dirty Girls' and the start of 'Chosen'.
