While visiting an animal retirement farm to meet with Shel's estranged father, Honey encounters a former pony who went to her for advice once and ended up bombing his career, making Honey feel insecure about her abilities as a therapist. Chico offers to watch Darla and Shel's offspring.
Tropes:
- Centipede's Dilemma: Honey finds out that a pony she counseled got "the yips" due to her advice. This makes Honey question how good she is as a therapist and freezes up during a group session.
- G-Rated Drug: Honey and Pony Ferrari get high on sugar cubes, which they crush into powder and snort like cocaine.
- Never My Fault: Pony Ferrari blames Honey for his party pony career going down the drain when he himself immediately let the pressure get to him and Honey's advice, while cryptic and less-than-ideally worded, was genuinely helpful and has spent his years at the retirement farm wallowing in self-pity. Even at the end, when Honey delivers a "Reason You Suck" Speech to P.F. for being too cowardly and insecure to try again, Pony Ferrari blows her off.
- Straw Loser: Pony Ferrari had a promising career as a children's entertainer but let one slip-up define him rather than move on with his life.
- Surprise Incest: The ending implies that Shel and Darla came from the same dad
