Yeah, I'm not sure about Spike. But I think I have a better grasp of the trope now: character becomes disabled or "damaged" in someway, and so since there's No Point Living This Way/they're going to die anyway nobly sacrifice themselves for the whole undamaged characters? I have definitely seen that a bunch of times. HMM.
