History Heartwarming / MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicSeason8

* When Yona is nervous over canoeing, her friends all support her; Ocellus teaches her a coping technique (whistling), the others help her into the canoe, and Gallus ([[JerkWithAheartofGold the most outwardly abrasive member of the group]]) tells her "We've got you, Yona" in the kindest way possible.

* Sunburst's apology to Stellar Flare. It starts out with him saying [[BaitAndSwitch he's not going to apologize for saying he didn't need her help]] (because [[ExactWords they did figure out the friendship problem without her help]]. When she points out [[PlayedForLaughs that's a terrible apology]], Sunburst genuinely follows it up by offering that if she comes with him, [[SincerityMode he'll give her a better apology]].

* In a meta sense, after the mixed opinions and controversy after [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS3E13MagicalMysteryCure Twilight got her wings]], it's nice to see the generally positive reception of Spike getting his.

* When Yona discusses her holiday and the first time her hair was braided. It's obvious this is a big deal for her, and a big milestone for yaks. Notably, this is the [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers only Yak tradition]] that doesn't [[PlayedForLaughs comically involve smashing]], making it all the more heartwarming.

* Throughout the episode, one pony serves as the [[OnlySaneMan only sane mare]]. She's the only one who doesn't hold the Mean 6's actions against their Mane counterparts, tries to get the rest of her friends to stop fighting, and is the only character besides the Tree to figure out that something's not right with the rest of the Main Six. Who is this level-headed, reasonable mare? [[UndyingLoyalty Rainbow Dash]]. Bonus Heartwarming points since in the past she would have been the easiest to provoke. This shows how much character development she's been through.

--->'''Twilight:''' You know, if we can survive a day like this, I think our friendship is strong enough to handle anything the world can throw at us.

-->'''Twilight:''' Listen we know each other ''really'' well; the great stuff, ''and'' how to get on each other's nerves too.

* In the end, the real Pinkie Pie joyously claiming "[[IronicEcho This is the worst day ever]]!" can lift one's spirit. Because, even though their camping trip was indeed ruined, it doesn't matter so long as the Mane 7 have each other.

* Though it did so in a creepy manner, the Tree of Harmony protecting the Elements by destroying the Mean Six. [[LoyalPhlebotinum The Elements know who their true masters are and won't take orders from anypony else]].

** What's more, it's likely they [[NotSoDifferent see a bit of themselves in the two ponies]]. It wasn't so long ago that the New 6 went and did something dangerous (like hide out in the Everfree Forest), and the Mane 6 saved them. Now that Applejack and Rainbow Dash did something just as stupid (get themselves trapped whilst competing), it's their turn to help.

* In a blink-and-you'll-miss moment, when the Mane 6 are dealing with the pukwudgies, as Applejack lassos two of them and pulls them toward her, and third one that was running with them stops and reaches out to them as they are being dragged away. The pukwudgies didn't get along with other creatures but they certainly look out for their own.

* At the beginning of the episode, Rainbow has a casual conversation with several of the Wonderbolts, showing she has been with them long enough to really make friends with them. Also, the way Soarin casually leaves a foreleg around her during this shows how close the two of them are.
