Yay! I'm very glad to offer an insight into my (non)process! :) The whole redrafting thing is something I'm familiar with from shorter stories including the whole...frustrating part where you know that it's just going to improve it but GOOD GOD right now it seems like an epic task.
Can I ask is your book a novel, or like an academic book?
As to the plotbunny, it wasn't entirely born from a bad week; it's more like I'd had the plotbunny for about two years but it wasn't going anywhere and the end of the plotbunny came from the bad week, but yes, I do think that it came to me so quickly kind of...I don't know if it suggests the idea is better or just weirder but it certainly says something about it?
