lol, tbh i should put as much blame on him, he actually said something in one of the episode commentaries that implied he thought eliza dushku was ~totes hot~ and he was worried that it was going to come off on screen. clearly no one told him that it did. IDK WHY I DECIDED TO BLAME HER MORE, shawn reaves was totally my favourite tv boy for a while there (and uhhhhh, those feelings are resurfacing, as you may well know).
