* MurderIsTheBestSolution: [[spoiler:Rarity’s mom had this in mind for Rarity’s father since he’s the one that has the money and being connected to Rarity has, in her eyes, sullied her reputation, requiring a dramatic break. Why a divorce wouldn't do she doesn’t really explain too well...]]

* PyrrhicVictory: Jato’s dive-bombing of [[spoiler: [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil Charger]]]] takes the vengeful colt out of commission before he can go after Jato’s mate, but the attack leaves Jato in a near-death state with the possibility of being grounded forever.

* [[spoiler: MurderIsTheBestSolution: Rarity’s mom had this in mind for Rarity’s father since he’s the one that has the money and being connected to Rarity has, in her eyes, sullied her reputation, requiring a dramatic break. Why a divorce wouldn't do she doesn’t really explain too well...]]
