** Likewise though, if you choose to believe Discord, as he did actually have a point, being stuck taking care of him for real counts as this for treating him TheFriendNobodyLikes.

* OffModel: From the scene where Rainbow Dash moves Discord onto the train platform to his GroupHug with the friends, his entire head is mirrored (his deer antler/goat horn, MadEye, and snaggle tooth are reversed).

* DeathGlare: Twilight gives one to Discord to show defiance when he gives her half of a friendship pendant as appreciation for his SecretTestOfCharacter. Discord lampshades it.
-->'''Discord:''' Why the angry eyes?

Added DiffLines:

* BatmanGambit: Discord analyzes each of the Mane Six's behavior to best figure out how to get everyone but Twilight out of the way: he waits until Fluttershy is out of town, distracts Pinkie Pie with a balloon, correctly guesses that Rainbow Dash [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere won't bother to help]], and, knowing that Applejack and Rarity will go out of their way to keep him from Twilight and Cadance, gets them sick as well.

** Similarly, Discord claims that his condition has left him so weak that he "can barely lift a spoon," conjuring one to demonstrate. Not thirty seconds later, he pulls an entire tree from the ground while hunting for Fluttershy, proving that he's lying to at least some degree about the severity of his illness.



* ReformedButNotTamed: This episode emphasizes Discord's embodiment of this trope: he may not be actively using his powers for evil any more, but he's still a [[TheGadfly gadfly]] and TricksterMentor who delights in making trouble in the name of "lessons" about friendship.



* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: Discord had no idea Cadance would be in town the same day he happened to get sick, honest.

Added DiffLines:

* TemptingFate: [[ExploitedTrope Exploited]] by Discord when he first manifests at the train station. He makes a grand show of saying that he certainly hopes nothing will happen to ruin Cadance and Twilight's special day together, all while deliberately setting things up to make sure that's exactly what happens.

* DisneyAcidSequence: Discord's “Glass of Water” song, where he makes insensate requests, whist making bizarre out of nowhere imagery appear. Being the Master of Chaos, his first musical number would have to be this.

Discord’s not a "her".


* JerkassHasAPoint: Discord has pointed out that even though Twilight said that they're friends, she's never proven it. Her befriending her, up to that point, had in fact been solely for pragmatic purposes and she was very open about it.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Discord walks around in a rather [[ToplessnessFromTheBack revealing hospital gown]], turns around, and idly bends down while contemplating his and Fluttershy's friendship. The unfortunate ponies behind him try to [[{{Squick}} avert their gazes]]. PlayedForLaughs of course, like everypony else on the show he's usually naked anyway.

Adorkable is now YMMV.


* {{Adorkable}}:
** Twilight yet again geeks out over Starswirl the Bearded. She even knows which bell from his outfit will be put on display at the traveling museum. Twilight again, when she learns that Cadance can spare time to visit.
** Fluttershy has her own moment at the beginning during her initial excited outburst over being invited to study the Breezies.
** ''Cadance'', surprisingly, proves to be just as enthusiastic as Twilight when they're touring the museum.



** Discord picks up Twilight with his tail, which grow notably longer for this usage.
