This episode introduces us to another one of the show's new writers, Kevin Lappin. The story board artists were Steve LeCouilliard and Mike Alcock. Both our new comers, This is Mike Alcock's first episode as a storyboard artist and Steve LeCouilliard's second (All Bottled Up was his first).
Personally I'm looking forward to Kevin Lappin maybe writing an episode that centers around Pinkie. She was perfect in this episode. By far my favorite part was her keeping a guitar in her mane. Pinkie was really funny in this episode, but fully remained her very caring self. She was in many ways the episode's comedy relief but she was put in here perfectly and each joke she was given was fantastic.
On to the story itself and it was good. The story was may be a bit too predictable, as you can always guess what is going to happen next, however the episode is more than fun enough to make up for this. Applejack's comments can be quite funny, and Rarity trying to defend her friend is quite touching. Both characters remain very relatable. We understand how hard it is for Applejack to talk about something she doesn't care much for and her desire to be honest and make her friend happy. Rarity we also understand perfectly. We know what it is like to want to stand by a friend when they mess up. Even if we haven't been through that situation before, we know it would be hard for us to decide between those we love and what we feel we need to do. If I had one compliant about the characters (minor spoilers) it is that I think Applejack should have realized what she did was wrong earlier.
While not one of the show's best episodes this is a very enjoyable one, and Pinkie is so great everypony that likes her needs to see this episode.
By the way it is strange that with this being the 7th season, they had not actually used the title Honest Apple before this.
