So Spike is used and abused all episode, everything fatty said was a lie and the aesop is "it’s more important to be with those who love you than "your kind"", same one as DQ but adding to it is how his mental state and ability to question things is hampered severely.

What WOULD have been an interesting twist is if fatty was disposed of or otherwise removed from the episode by Spike’s ACTUAL real father and discover that he hasn’t been around other dragons because they viewed his and his mother’s kind heart (which Spike inherited) as a weakness, so they chased him and his mother relentlessly. That would give a gateway to say why his mother would leave his egg with Celestia.
