** The casual way that Sugar Belle asks the Mane Six "Is your friendship ending?" when she witnesses them having a little quarrel at her eatery. That she would automatically assume that a simple disagreement is reason enough to shatter a friendship really shows how ''badly'' Starlight brainwashed her.

* Starlight Glimmer believes that friendships only work when everyone is equal because if friends are better at things than each other, then they ''must'' resent each other for those things. That's just depressing.
** It really makes one wonder what happened to Starlight Glimmer to make her feel this way. It doesn't bring any pretty images to mind...

* When the Mane Six reveals that Starlight [[spoiler:didn't give up her cutie mark like the others,]] you expect the towns ponies to be angry; you don't expect any of them to be ''sad'', and indeed nearly ''heartbroken'' to find out that Starlight [[spoiler:doesn't even believe her own philosophy.]] After TheRevealHappens, Double Diamond and Party Favor look like they're both about to start crying, and Party Favor is ''actually tearing up''. It's even said that these ponies gave up everything for the dream that Starlight ingrained in them, only to find out that [[spoiler:she's just been using them and has kept her cutie mark. Double Diamond's own assertion of Starlight not even ever giving them a chance to be friends without giving up their cutie marks]] just makes it worse.

* Though his HeroicSacrifice was a noble thing to do, the fact that as he's being sent into the town's brainwashing chamber Party Favor is ''apologizing'' to everybody for wanting his cutie mark back shows that he's ''honestly upset'' that he's let them all down.

** The fact that she is driven to so much distress that she questions if is the real Pinkie Pie is especially tear-jerking. It gets even worse when she stops caring about proving herself; almost missing the test because she won't move from one spot where she is digging at the ground with her hoof.

* The entirety of her early interaction with the crowd, the severe social awkwardness, the reaction of the crowd (afraid, creeped-out, etc.), and her difficulty understanding their reactions is something all-to-familiar to anyone who grew up on the autistic spectrum. The point where she effectively has a meltdown and runs off nearly crying hits home to not draw a few tears.
