IMO, it doesn't compete with Normal Again for the "Gotcha" effect. I have no idea who wrote that though.
In any event, I really like SD. He was a great asset to Joss's team.
Thanks for the link Spikey.

I thought "Normal Again" was inspired at the time, but I'm not sure how it'll hold up on rewatch. The "gotcha" effect, while great maybe in an M. Night Shayamalan movie or the like, isn't my favored method of measurement for how to judge a quality episode of TV.
I figured DeKnight was a real special addition to the Mutant Enemy writing team when he gave us "Spiral". Way to ramp up the action and send the near-flawless Season 5 flying toward its epic conclusion (only to be dampered momentarily by "The Weight of the World", but eh, that one had its moments too).

And add poor Katrina to the list of "dead things" inhabiting this episode and adding layers to the metaphor.
Outstanding writing, acting, etc. Kudos to Stephen DeKnight.
Now I'm gonna go listen to the podcast. Thanks for the link, spikeylover!
