There are two issues about Spike in this episode that can easilly be explained well, and Im going to do it.

1. "Element of Genorosity my flank!  Rarity gave him the smallest gem!" Well that gem also had a high value to it if it can buy a whole pet cosmetic set. Another extention to that is how it was the first to get pawned off. Well if you think about it in Spike's angel, he wants the bigger ones, not the more valuable, cause they will last him the longest and have the most flavor. Besides, even though he did kinda want payment from her, just doing her a favor was probably big enough cause in his mind he might be winning her affection.

2. "Spike has too many episodes and spotlight". Well, he didn't really have much attention in season 1 and season 2 started developing him more. I didn't see people complain when Rarity had alot of spotlight in season 2, so why are people complaining about Spike. Also remember this is a shorter season, so a character was probably going to be left out. Also, why does no one complain about the CMC's. They technically had 2 episodes. I'm starting to believe that some fans just don't like him due to the fact that he's not a pony, which is ironic because ponies are the reason some people don't like them.
