Well, she was trying to drive them away. I forgive her because I love her. Like they do. And I don't think she planned it ahead of time - she just saw that Angel was there, saw that Willow and Xander were there, Xander immediately turned toward her when she got there, and she took advantage of the moment.
But then she doesn't apologize the next day and you can see Xander quietly getting more and more pissed at her through the episode until he finally can't take it anymore. Same thing with him and Angelus in KBD - he's too angry and hurt for the people he cares about to be loud angry. Xander is scariest when he's quiet.
