How do I repair a wall after mild water damage?

Question

Some water got in my wall near a window when it was raining (the window shade had previously put a nick on the window sill corner exposing the drywall). The water got in behind some of the paint and created a bubble that I peeled off. I scraped away all the loose paint and drywall with a flathead, then sanded a little bit. I'm wondering if I need to spackle and/or prime before I try painting over the exposed area?

The paint is from Benjamin Moore.

Here are some photos to better explain the damage:

Answer 1

Patch the holes, prime, then paint.

Usually when I patch walls I end up priming and painting the entire wall, it's more work but I find it looks much better when I'm done.
