I think Rarity already got some karma back in season 1 in the form of Prince Blue Blood. In a way she was briefly in Spike's shoes during those events and got a taste of her own medicine.

I dunno if Rarity is nicer to Spike now in season 2, though. I think she just gives him more attention now but kind of treats him like she treats her pet cat, Opal instead of a respectful and valuable friend that Spike is. Compare A Dog and Pony Show to Dragon Quest. In the former, they really acted like friends hangging out while in the latter, she acted like she was talking to a small cute pet of hers. Yes, she was worried about him but the same way an owner would worry about their pet rather than a friend worries about another friend.
