History Recap / MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS8E17TheEndInFriend

* AnAesop:
** Friends don't have to be entirely the same to be close. Differing talents and interests are what make them captivating to get to know.
** Part of being a good friend is respecting that a friend's interest is no less than one's own.

** This FeudEpisode is similar to the WesternAnimation/WonderPets episode "Save The Platypus!'.

** Twilight Sparkle facehoofs on exiting the gemstones cave, as Rainbow and Rarity end up arguing and swearing off their friendship before their students.

* NoPronunciationGuide: Rarity pronounces "Caballeron" as ''cah-buh-yaire-on'' -- which is the actual Spanish pronunciation -- but Rainbow Dash "corrects" her by pronouncing it the way it's written in English.

* AwesomeButImpractical: At one point, Rarity planned to open a boutique in Cloudsdale. Rainbow shot down the idea by pointing out that Rarity would need Twilight to cast the butterfly wings spell on her everytime she needed to deliver merchandise, and that fancy clothes tend to restrict a pegasus' ability to fly. Rarity herself seems to have some difficulty in seeing why these are issues, though.

** Rarity says her new boots were marketed as "made for trotting", a reference to "These Boots Were Made for Walking" by Nancy Sinatra.

* FacePalm: "Facehoof: The Episode".

* NotSoDifferent. Starlight tries to invoke this with Rainbow and Rarity by pointing out that they both like reading. Unfortunately, it fails to work.

** Rarity complained about how the action sequence descriptions in ''Daring Do'' "drag on", yet took offence when Rainbow complained about the drawn-out clothing descriptions in ''Shadow Spade''.

** Rainbow Dash propels the makeshift boat over the swamp by flapping her wings very fast, like Evinrude from ''Disney/TheRescuers''.

* BothSidesHaveAPoint: Inverted. Both Rainbow Dash and Rarity have critical opinions about each other's respective books (Daring Do and Shadow Spade), but neither side has a point because ''they didn't bother reading it'', thus negating what they "disliked" about the book they read.

** Twilight Sparkle facehoofs on exiting the gemstones cave, as Rainbow and Rarity ends up arguing and swearing off their friendship before their students.

* LiteralMinded: When Starlight suggests that Rainbow and Rarity put themselves in each other's shoes, Rainbow immediately states that there's no way she'll be wearing rarity's glittery boots.

** Rainbow Dash is able to guage how deep a swamp is by lowering a reed into it (somehow she learned from Scootaloo's Filly Guides Camp).

** Rarity complained about how the action sequence descriptions in ''Daring Do'' "drag on", yet took offence when Rainbow complained about the drawn out clothing descriptions in ''Shadow Spade''.
* InAnotherMansShoes:

* OohMeAccentsSlipping: While there is no single "Equestrian accent" to slip out of, for an American show Rainbow Dash sounds considerably more Canadian than usual in this episode, with Ashleigh Ball saying things like "learnt" and pronouncing "lever" as "lee-ver."

* TacticalWithdrawal: Starlight makes one as the argument between Rainbow and Rarity over the books heats up, in a bid to get 'reinforcements' to help her.

** During the ColdOpen, Rarity wears the same outfit she wore while camping in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS3E6SleeplessInPonyville Sleepless in Ponyville]]".
