History Recap / MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS5E23TheHooffieldsAndMccolts

* AnAseop: Several:

* GreenAseop: Sort of. The valley used to be beautiful, but much of that beauty was destroyed when the ponies started focusing more on their feuding than protecting the land like they originally came there to do.

Finally, Twilight seems to have convinced Ma Hooffield to make peace by baking a large cake, bringing it to the [=McColts=]. But, the Hooffields hid inside of the cake, and emerge once it's inside the [=McColt=] fort. This triggers a massive brawl between the two families, with Twilight all but giving up on solving the problem. While Twilight sulks away from the fighting, Fluttershy sees several hungry, cold animals in the area, who tell her all about how the feud really started.

* HopeSpot: A giant cake made by the Hooffields when it arrived to the [=McColts'=] compound due to Twilight's suggestion and lampshaded by Twilight herself when she said it would be the first step towards forgiveness. [[SubvertedTrope That's when a low rumble was heard]] [[TrojanHorse followed by several Hooffields exploding out of the cake]] [[SubvertedTrope and attacking the compound from the inside]].

* TheNapoleon: Big Daddy [=McColt=], the patriarch and shortest member of the [=McColt=] Family who wears a giant ten-galloon hat to boot.

* WorldBuilding: The episode introduces us to the Smoky Mountains, which seem to be an Equestrian analogue for the Applachians in the eastern United States. The ponies living there even speak in a dialect associated with that region.

* CallBack: This isn't the first time we've seen ponies [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E21OverABarrel using food]] [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E10SecretOfMyExcess as weapons]].

* TrojanHorse: Ma Hooffield's supposed "Forgiveness Cake" has several Hooffield members hidden inside it who attacked as soon as they were inside the [=McColts'=] fort.

** Twilight mentions how freezing an entire army of ponies isn't as easy as freezing [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E3CastleMania just six]].
