It's not my plant but..

We had only 3 Spider Plants "Bonnie".

We had only 3 Spider Plants "Bonnie" a lot of time.

And something happened

Now we have 2 Spider Plants "Bonnie" and 1 Green Spider Plant.Why did Spider Plant "Bonnie" become (turn) Green Spider Plant?

This Green Spider Plant will be only Green Spider Plant or this plant can be (turn) Spider Plant "Bonnie" again?

    Could be lack of light but not necessarily. Variegated plants in gardens revert to type. Basically the variegated plant is a cultivated form of the wild plant. If the wild plant however is already variegated then it can't revert to type, because it already is the type. I'm not sure what form wild Chlorophytum (Spider plant) takes tho.
