In all things considered, all the main cast, and the CMCs were like that. They have their good episodes where they have the upper hand, and they have the episodes they need help in. Also Spike has been very helpful to Twilight throughout the years, keeping her sane, so this strange turn of development last season, was actually always there. The writers just never bothered doing it in his episodes. He always knew what was best, but just so happens to lower his guard in the episodes he starred in, which was changed last season. Of course there was development as well, but some of what he lacked in the episode he usually stars in, he always had while being a supporting character.
