So yeah, I kinda did like how this episode handled it, that Spike was initially unwilling to stand up to everyone, and had to do some soul searching to find the courage.
It's wasn't exactly soul searching, it was "man I was dick to my friend, I shouldn't have been a dick to my friend" then goes and gets hI'm, brings him back and then tells everyone hey he's my friend he's cool. Twilight's goes "hmm seems legit" and then everyone basically shrugs their shoulders and boom we have a happy ending and for some reason being around doesn't make him hiss anymore either, he'll he doesn't even have to fight it, it's just fixed.
As for Dragon Quest, his choice to stay and fight to make sure the next Dragon Hitler doesn't take over doesn't really happen until Garble declares he'll make the Ponies "pay", and this was the dragon that bullied Spike so he knows he means it. If Spike had just been like "eh I said I was interested and I mean it" after hearing that then I'd considered the biggest jerk this season.
