* Discord forcing Twilight to think about what Starlight needs instead of what Twilight wants, can seem to look mean-spirited and a bit like he's trolling her but Discord is the master of chaos. He's only doing what does best. Just because he's firmly on the side of good doesn't mean he won't stop sowing seeds of chaos wherever he can but now instead of creating chaos for chaos sake, he's sowing chaos for good by forcing Twilight to realize the relationship she has with Starlight can't stay the same. Discord could be trying to teach Twilight that relationships can't stay the same forever. That one day, a student needs to learn on their own without their teacher.

* BrainyBaby or not, it doesn't make sense for Flurry's magic to act on any desire more complex than, "I want to go where Whammy is." So why did she fly around the hospital and come up empty-hoofed? Whammy was on a cart! Flurry was probably teleporting to the rooms the orderly with the cart was passing by before coming back to search the children's ward.

** It also calls back to the tradeoff for that power boost. While Starlight was boosted enough to match Twilight pound-for-pound in terms of power, that same thirst for vengeance also [[RevengeBeforeReason made her blind to what her actions were doing to anyone else Twilight.]] This episode is a reprise of that episode's Aesop: "Letting anger fester and go unresolved hurts everyone, even those you care about."

* Starlight's magic being fueled by her emotions explains how she could go from running away by Twilight to being her equal the next time they met. Twilight ruining her idea of a utopia and making her thirst for vengeance gave Starlight the power boost she needed to take on an alicorn princess.

* More Fridge Heartwarming than Fridge Brilliance; Cadance and Shining Armor are the Crystal Empire's RulingCouple and therefore have one-hundred responsibilities a day, but one of the core parts of this episode is that they need a break from taking care of Flurry Heart. Even with crystal pony nannies ready and willing, Cadance and Shining Armor are determined to be full-time parents to their little princess!

* Flurry Heart shows that she's a born leader when she steps in to resolve a problem between two parties. Too bad as a baby, she's not mentally grown enough to realize that JudgmentOfSolomon only works when you threaten to break the toy in half, causing the two parties to reconcile to prevent the toy from being broken. Breaking the toy in two before threatening to is going to lead the two parties reconciling only out of anger towards the one who broke their toy.

*** Discord did a lot worse than that in his first appearance and was accessory to even worse than that later on before his HeelFaceTurn finally stuck. EasilyForgiven upon reform, and he's been besties with Fluttershy ever since. The bar's set pretty high on how much the ponies in Ponyville will forgive you for on principle.

* Why was Celestia so worried about letting Twilight go, when that was the best time for her favorite student to grow? Because at that time, Luna was still Nightmare Moon, meaning Twilight was the closest thing she had to a real family at the time. Celestia was also afraid of being alone again, which is why she couldn't let Twilight go until circumstances forced her to.

** Also what Flurry does here is intentional while most of what she caused before was accidental. The PowerLimiter dialed her magic down enough that she can only do magic on purpose.

* Why is Flurry Heart's magic still so powerful even with Sunburst's PowerLimiter? Probably because said PowerLimiter only limited Flurry Heart's magic to the point she couldn't accidentally kill somepony and cause wanton destruction. Flurry's magic is still powerful enough for the spells she used in the episode but not so strong that it becomes dangerous to be around her.

** Plus this isn't the first time the Ponyville citizens have turned aggressive because of a spell; if they could forgive Twilight for turning the whole town crazy over a doll, they definitely can forgive Starlight.

* Why did Granny Smith, Bulk Biceps, and the jeweler pony forgive Starlight so easily for (accidentally) brainwashing them with her anger? In addition to the Equestrian tendency towards [[EasilyForgiven easy forgiveness]], the HatePlague gave them a firsthand taste not only of Starlight's suppressed anger, but also the motivations behind it. It's reasonable to assume they understood how she felt, having felt it themselves, and they heard her explanation as to why she was bottling up her anger in the first place. Understanding her situation made forgiveness all the easier.
