While I like the development of Starlight being mature, I agree with Neko Majin that this just seems like cheap manufactured drama since the fight and the resolution both happened off-screen. Maybe we’ll get some more details later, but as of right now it’s way too much tell and not show.

Spike is not the type to feign sadness. He is the type to fuck up and beat himself up about it more than necessary, however. Chances are good he minorly annoyed Lily and took it much worse than she intended.
Really is too bad we never found out what the argument was about. We just heard that there was an argument that happened off page, and then two pages later it is resolved off page. Like it never actually happened. Which makes me think Spike lied about the whole thing to get special attention from Starlight.
I think this little arc is more about Starlight’s behavior than anything else.
