* BrokenAesop: The aesop of this episode, "you should listen to what your friends have to say instead of dismissing them", is undermined because of Pinkie's [[PoorCommunicationKills lack of communication to her friends]] about what the parasprites are, and how to get rid of them, giving up after one attempted explanation. In particular, Twilight specifically asks Pinkie if she knows anything about the Parasprites, only for Pinkie to mutter that she needs a trombone and leave without explanation.

** We're suppossed to assume the parasprites herded away by the Mane Six have returned to the Everfree Forest, but who's to say they did? It is not hard to hypothesize they kept on going until they hit some other town, and Celestia allegedly leaves because Fillydelphia caught an infestation of "bothersome creatures". Now, we can either stay positive and assume the actual reason is that she figured out what's going on and is sparing them the embarrassment, [[NiceJobBreakingItHero or...]]
*** Fortunately, according to the [[http://mlp.wikia.com/wiki/File:Map_of_Equestria_online_version_2012-08.jpg official map]] of Equestria, parasprites that were driven out of Ponyville into the Everfree Forest and decided to keep going in a straight line would not find themselves in Fillydelphia.
