Makes sense in Fluttershy's case, considering [[spoiler:she's the only one his MoreThanMindControl failed to work on because of how kind she was.

* TurnTheOtherCheek: Despite everything [[spoiler:Discord]] did, Princess Celestia and Fluttershy are the only ones in a redeeming mood. Makes sense in Fluttershy's case, considering [[spoiler:she's the only one he didn't use MoreThanMindControl on]].

* HeelFaceTurn: It's up to the Mane Six to make [[spoiler:Discord]] pull one, whether any of them like it or not.

* ShoutOut: In title to a WorldWarII-era British public safety poster--"keep calm and carry on"--that has been [[http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/keep-calm-and-carry-on subject]] to MemeticMutation and [[http://www.welovefine.com/816-keep-calm-brony.html has]] [[http://www.welovefine.com/881-keep-calm-and-canter-on.html previously]] [[http://www.welovefine.com/882-keep-calm-and-canter-on.html been]] [[http://www.welovefine.com/959-keep-calm-and-canter-on.html referenced]] [[http://www.welovefine.com/1269-keep-calm-.html by]] TheMerch.

* HeelFaceTurn: Whether he wants it or not, it's up to the Mane Six to put [[spoiler:Discord]] through one.

* TurnTheOtherCheek: Despite everything [[spoiler:Discord]] did, Princess Celestia and Fluttershy are still the only ones in a redeeming mood. Makes sense in Fluttershy's case, considering [[spoiler:she's the only one he didn't use MoreThanMindControl on]].

* EasilyForgiven: Subverted. Fluttershy is the only one willing to give [[spoiler:Discord]] a chance at redemption after what he did. Considering [[spoiler:he had to use brute force to make her cruel at all in the first place]], it makes perfect sense.
* HeelFaceTurn: That's what they're trying to do with [[spoiler:Discord]], at least.
* RedemptionQuest: Maybe perhaps not by [[spoiler:Discord's]] own choice, but a redemption nevertheless.

* WhamEpisode: Sounds like it will be one, the synopsis alone made many go [[BigWhat "What?!?"]]

* CallBack: [[spoiler:Discord returns since his last appearance in the Season 2 premier, "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E1TheReturnOfHarmonyPart1 The Return]] [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E2TheReturnOfHarmonyPart2 of Harmony]]".]]
* ADayInTheLimelight: Fluttershy, most likely.
