--> '''Bright Eyes:''' ''Who the heck do you think we are?!''\\

-->'''Princess Celestia:''' '''''It seems you have two choices, Lord Blueblood. Either you accept the annulment, or you can try and take Princess Twilight Sparkle to court-- in which case you will be found guilty of all the crimes I have listed, your estate will be liquidated and given to the Sparkle family as punitive compensation, and you will either spend the rest of your life imprisoned or you will be executed. I seriously doubt that we can execute you four times, but you never know. My judges are rather creative.'''''

--> '''Nyx:''' ''She wasn't... She was! Holey smokes!''

** It was not the Firebird that Ascended Ink Spot. It was the energy of the Elements combined with an altered version of Starswirl's ascension spell, plus the second Crystal Heart from ''Nyx's Family'' and energy from the "largest group of nigh-cosmic entities since Discord's fifth birthday".

* Twilight gets to "''swing the Big Hammer''" on the various nobles wasting the court's time with pointless petitions and greedy attempts at new taxes designed to line their own pockets. Which is to say, she -- starting in the Royal Canterlot Voice -- chews them out over not only doing the above but choosing to do it while the Triarchy are in the middle of dealing with an actual crisis (the political fallout of Nyx's brief rule). She tells the lot of them that unless they have truly urgent business (defined as anything that could leave a pony homeless, in the hospital, in prison, or dead), they should leave and throw out the documents they brought with them to back up their cases. Two-thirds of the petitioners promptly do so.
** One-third of the rest wait their turn only to see their papers quickly trashed once they address the throne.

* When Duke Blueblood tries to coerce Twilight into an ArrangedMarriage with Prince Blueblood via getting her father drunk and invoking an ancient law, and threatening to send Nyx to a BoardingSchoolOfHorrors, she responds by going into a [[BurningWithAnger Rage-Shift]][[note]]the given name for the transformation Twilight herself underwent in [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E15FeelingPinkieKeen Feeling Pinkie Keen]], and was described in ''Fanfic/PastSins'' as when a powerful Unicorn's anger feeds into their Magic to supercharge it and trigger a physical transformation.[[/note]] before proceeding to beat the living snot out of him (complete with GroinAttack) in order to get him to sign an annulment. Then, when he protests having done so under duress and keeps pressing the issue of the legality of the Marriage Contract being legal and binding; ''[[BewareTheNiceOnes Princess Celestia]]'' herself goes into a Rage-Shift: explaining with the [[VoiceoftheLegion Royal Canterlot Voice]] how she banned such arrangements centuries ago, how Duke Blueblood's attempts count as attempted rape, slavery, blackmail, kidnapping, and (since both Twilight and Nyx are royalty now) treason, and how if he tries to take Twilight to court, it'll just result in his own prosecution.

* Chapter 23 reveals that Dubious investigated Rainbow Dash's first Sonic Rainboom and "disproved" it by making the witnesses doubt themselves when he interviewed them, including Fluttershy who tells him off for it. Rainbow decides to prove what she can do by performing one ''and dragging Dubious along for the ride!'' Can you say SkepticNoLonger?

* The reason the Princesses took control of the Sun and Moon was the force equality on the pony tribes....by putting the Unicorns, the ones who were basically running the show for most of pony history up to that point, out of a job by putting the two celestial bodies under Celestia and Luna's exclusive control.

** No, [[spoiler: Spike]] doesn't actually say that cult phrase. But yes, there ''is'' a ShoutOut to it.

* During the ball, Pelé, the [[PhysicalGod "goddess"]] of volcanoes and quakes, starts giving BabyTalk to Spike. [[spoiler: Spike, eventually fed up, hulks up.]]

** Made even more awesome by the fact that [[spoiler:he's not even at '''''half''''' his maximum size, and he still towers over her!]]

* The revelation that [[spoiler: the world of MLP:FIM is effectively a starship launched ages ago and still far away from its destination]].
* [[spoiler: Po gaining {{Flight}}]].
** [[spoiler: Po Ascended, technically.]]

* [[spoiler: Celestia manipulating things to allow Twilight to stay in Ponyville.]]
** This follows [[spoiler: Twilight finally snapping and giving a spectacular [[CallingTheOldManOut Calling the Old Woman Out]] speech where she utterly rejects the claim that she was ever destined to become a princess and chews Celestia out for never stopping to consult her about it, effectively proving to Celestia that she is strong enough to fight for what she wants in her own life, even against her mentor if need be]].

* The titular beatdown, delivered by [[spoiler: Crystal Champion-Mode Spike]].

* The R.S.V.P. spell, which Twilight Velvet and Night Light use to write/address/stamp hundreds of thank-you cards in seconds. Princess Celestia created the spell and trained her secretarial staff in its use, including Velvet, who in turn taught it to Night Light so they could deal with huge amounts of holiday mail together.

** With a healthy dose of ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'', specifically the ShutUpHannibal WorldOfCardboardSpeech to the villain.

** Then, Ink Spot (in full armor) jumps in after the event is concluded and challenges Prince Blueblood for the right to marry Twilight (he flees), then proposes to her with a diamand he got by [[NoodleIncident punching a Diamond Dog]]. How did he get back to Canterlot so fast? [[HumanMail He express-mailed himself there from griffon territory.]]
