This episode introduces us to two new writers for the show Barry Safchick and Michael Platt. The episode was storyboarded by Roxana Beiklik and Aynsley King, both of who started boarding for the show with the season 4 premiere.
This episode has the CMC being told three different stories from their big sisters. With this the episode does vary in quality depending on the story. The first story is rather weak. There is little interesting and the whole thing just feels rushed. The second story is by far the best. This story features compelling characters, a great sense of atmosphere and a great ending. This story also features the best animation of the three including a quite exciting action sequence. The third story is rather entertaining but nothing that special, it definitely could have been better if more time was devoted to it. Along with the second story one of the highlights of this episode is just the interactions between the CMC and their big sisters between the stories. This includes some good humor and excellent character writer. One of the things that makes this show special is that we love seeing certain characters interact with each other. Each of the main characters make the other ones stronger. This is especially true of the interactions between Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo. There is something about these two characters together that is very heartwarming. You can see how much they truly care about each other completely.
