Now on to the real meat as to why I'm doing this. What is the nature of Twilight and Spike's relationship. What I think is interesting with this episode is this line:
Spike: Phew, that was a close one. Thanks, you guys.
Twilight Sparkle: Of course. What are friends for?
Spike: You're more than friends. You're my family.
It makes it very interesting for how later episodes treat this that it is Spike that who says they are his family with Twilight Sparkle appearing to imply that she was his friend. I suppose one could say that Twilight was referring to her and her friends in general but I think in earlier seasons he was written more as a sidekick or even Pet without a clear family bound fully in mind. I will say this though: TS was shown to be his caretaker and those moments caused plenty to argue back then there was such a type of relation. Even here TS was acting as such. Though I wonder if there is any hints with a clearer subtext of motherhood or sisterhood implied.
