Giles was applying logic - his whole approach to Spike/Dawn had been quite logical - he cares a great deal about Dawn, and realises that her immortality will make her lonely, so someone else with immortality is a good thing - Dawn and Spike, to him, have a lot in common, whereas he saw Buffy and Spike as diametric opposites. Spike's plan to rescue Dawn might have gone awry but in fact his very nature, as a vampire, is what saved her; and may well, logically, save her in future. Mhairi on the other hand doesn't use the same logic at all - she deals with feelings and hurt, both physical and psychological.
When both of them are telling Spike the same thing, he'd better believe it!

And yes, we now see what Ethan's plot is....
