Q: Restore deleted instance of a repeating event?

How can I restore a deleted event instance to the day from which it was deleted?

 

Setup:

  1. Create a repeating event (set repeat to Weekly, MTWTF).
  2. Slide Thursday's event to a new time (when asked to change all or just this instance, select just this instance)
  3. Delete the event (at that point iCal doesn't ask me anymore about the series)

 

Now, how can I then reset the series so it refills that day?  It seems no matter how I fiddle with repeating settings, it will never re-establish itself on that day - it's forever disconnected: even moving the original back into the time slot doesn't reconnect it to the series.

 

I'm sure if I just delete the entire event and start over it'll work, but that seems like such a brain-dead way to do stuff that I'm hoping there's a better way.
