Fridge / My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic S3 E9 "Apple Family Reunion"

• Fridge Brilliance: Why is a character as energetic and loud as Braeburn nearly silent? In almost every scene he's in, he's carrying something in his mouth.
• Fridge Logic: According to Apple Bloom, every member of the Apple family will be attending, including Babs. Which should mean that Babs' parents should also be there, though nothing directly alludes to them, and when Babs is leaving she seems to be travelling by herself. This begs the question if they are still alive (which would explain a lot about her bullying issues from "One Bad Apple"); alternatively, this would set up Aunt and Uncle Orange perfectly as Babs' parents, which is consistent with everything else we know about the Apples to date.
