This is an entertaining episode, but not one of the show's best. There are some good jokes here and definitely some laughs to be had. However there is also a great setup to a joke, but the punchline unfortunately falls flat. The story itself is very predictable, but fun. Rarity is extremely likable here as are the rest of the ponies. Josh Harber makes sure that are sympathy is with Rarity and she never comes across as vain. We relate strongly to Rarity, because (while maybe not with our hair), we have had similar moments of panic where all seemed lost that seem small and insignificant now. While you can see that moral coming from a mile away, it is one that we can all use a reminder of from time to time. The main problem with this episode though is that it is easy to predict everything that is going to happen, and with this it feels like maybe we have seen this episode before. It doesn't do anything new or different to keep away from this feeling. Oh well it is still a fun episode and fans of the show will enjoy themselves.
