* Twilight's RoaringRampageOfRevenge when she completely goes full frontal on Tirek's sorry hide may seem very out-of-chaarcter for her as she was never considered to be someone who is the vengeful type; [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E1TheReturnOfHarmonyPart1 she didn't get revenge on Discord for corrupting her friends]], [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E25ACanterlotWeddingPart1 she didn't get revenge on Chrysalis for manipulating her friends, Celestia and her brother against her,]] [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS3E5MagicDuel and she didn't get revenge on Trixie for humiliating her, kicking her out of Ponyville and enslaving everyone in said town.]][[note]]All in that order.[[/note]] So why be vengeful now? Well, the previous situations, Twilight was probably too preoccupied with other things to think about vengeance, like she was trying to find the Elements of Harmony to stop Discord, she was too preoccupied with stopping Chrysalis and bringing the real Cadance back to her brother and upon hearing that Trixie was being corrupted by the Alicorn Amulet, she most likely saw that Trixie's evil deeds were not of her own volition. As for Tirek, he destroyed her home, the one place where she shared the most memories with her friends. All the emotional turmoil Twilight was most likely feeling finally gave leeway to Twilight taking revenge.

** On top of that, the first bits of magic Tirek absorbs is being ''actively used''. It isn't until he gets Discord's help in maintaining a [[IncrediblyLamePun captive audience]] that he manages to drain unicorns of magic they aren't actively using.

* Pinkie's behavior towards Fluttershy could also be seen as LaserGuidedKarma for how the shy filly acted in "Putting Your Hoof Down", with Pinkie getting just how hard it is to confront a "frivolous" and "pointless pursuit" into her head.

** Pinkie already has freaky super-speed. It gets cranked UpToEleven when she becomes Fili-Second.

** Rarity previously fell for Discord's trick that she had found a large diamond. She tried to resist, but ultimately [[{{Greed}} gave in to her avarice]]. In "Rarity takes Manehatten", she allows herself to fall for the same trappings when not only is she faced with ambition, but with the opposition of the unscrupulous [[HateSink Suri Polomare]]. She sacrificed her generosity towards her friends to get ahead of her rival. But when she recognized her greed and ingratitude potentially chased away her friends, she still went back to them to apologize and made it up to them.

* How did Luna know Sweetie Belle's jealousy? Twilight keeps correspondence, and had observed Sweetie Belle's emotional state.
* It seems weird that Luna would go to such lengths as to actually track Sweetie Belle down during the day to help her. This make perfect sense though since it's essentially the same story as when Princess Luna became Nightmare Moon. Given the guilt she must have felt after her redemption it's clear why she was so keen to see Sweetie Belle, not making the same mistake.
** Also, as we find out in "Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep?" Luna does consider Rarity and the other Mane 6 to be her friends. She would likely go to great lengths to help her friends (and by extension their little sisters).
*** And by being there she would be in a position to fix things for Rarity even if Sweetie Belle didn't show up in time.

** Rainbow Dash was once faced with [[ConflictingLoyalty a choice between staying in Ponyville and saving Cloudsdale]]. Under Discord's influence and temptation, she chose Cloudsdale. In "Rainbow Falls", she was faced with a choice between staying with the team from Ponyville or filling in for the Wonderbolts. She tries to pick a neutral choice, but even Twilight [[LampShade lampshades]] that not choosing either doesn't count as a sound choice. So she ultimately overcomes her conflict and head-on chooses Ponyville.

** Even Discord is a call-back as an amalgamation of all her friends corrupted. [[JerkAss Unkind]]? Check. Dishonest? Check. Caused unhappiness? Check. Disloyal? Greedy? [[SarcasmMode Well, as long as you count joining Tyrek for power]], double check. There was a time when Twilight would've given up on such a 'friend'. Yet, she still saved Discord, because "friendship isn't easy, but it's worth fighting for".
