I also think part of Spike's extreme eagerness comes from his knowledge of what happens to him if he gets greedy -he becomes destructive. He may be afraid of taking anything without giving back. I did, however, found it odd that Twilight mentioned that the Dragon Code was an actual thing for all dragons. But not what it exactly was, why it was *important* and why so many FIM dragons seem not to follow it.

I spotted many "character" and "plot" flaws in this episode (Spike sucking at chores, Applejack NOT BEING HONEST, and a tired, overused plot), but at the same time recongized it as a more adorable/funny kind of episode, not a character development or plot heavy or even a very moral kind of episode. It was fluffy filler, which isn't a horrible thing for a kid's show to have. Not every episode can give us fans more insight into a well liked minor charcter, progress Twilight's studies or introduce a new villan or song. And it /was/ super adorable and funny, so I consider it a success in doing what it was trying to do. Plus it had the whole Mane 6, which always makes me happy.
