** What's more, their first impressions are also a {{Foil}}. Starlight came off as completely happy and blissful of her community of equal ponies, but deep down was [[StepfordSmiler hiding]] a pony who was stressed and even heart-broken over her issues with losing a friend to a cutie mark. Likewise, Cozy Glow's first impression was that of a poor little filly helplessly crying her eyes out over her unfair circumstances, or pitifully remorseful over her "mistakes". But [[CrocodileTears it's all a ruse]]: she uses her tears to pull every one else's heart strings, and she has no remorse over her machinations.

* [[spoiler: Budget and schedule jokes aside, Tempest Shadow [[PutOnABus spreading the word of the Storm King's defeat throughout the world]] may be a cheap way to get her out of the show instead of having her [[MustMakeAmends stay and make amends to Equestria]] especially since in the comics the news already got spread during the [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicIDWIssue61To62 Convocation of Creatures]]. Then you remember that while she redeemed herself in front of the Mane 6, she is still TheFace and TheHeavy of the invasion while committing multiple acts of treason by assaulting the princesses in broad daylight. With the events of the invasion still fresh in their collective memory, the general public would still be unaware or wary of her HeelFaceTurn and [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome she would face constant scrutiny if she stayed in Equestria.]] It doesn't help that ''[[ComicBook/MyLittlePonyTheMoviePrequel she was the one that gave the Storm King the idea to invade Equestria in the first place or at least bumped it up on his to-conquer list.]]'' So it's for the best if she leaves Equestria for the ponies to cool their heads off and get everything back to normal so that she doesn't have to constantly sleep with one eye open should she ever decide to return.]]

* That moment when one realizes, once again, the episode was aimed at a teenage audience as well as a younger audience. The whole idea of "Fake it 'til you make it" is to teach teenage girls that it's not a good idea putting up an exterior like Fluttershy did. [[AnAesop Being mean and snooty and antisocial won't get you very far later in life; it only serves to lose more friends than earn them.]] Fluttershy learned this the hard way when [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome her new personalities drove away the customers]].

* That moment when one realizes: remember when Rarity said "Clothes make the pony"? That may be the point of Fluttershy acting convincingly condescending and mean with her personalities. It's meant to showcase what ''[[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome really]]'' happens when you let clothes define you more than anything else, more than being [[NiceGuy kind]], or [[HiddenDepths smart]], or [[ThePowerOfFriendship friendly]].

** As shown repeatedly during the series, dragons hail from lands full of mountain ranges and volcanoes, not exactly a good place to live if you don't have wings. So, it's possible that molting dragons are not kicked out of their nests because of their smell, but rather that they are considered they can now live on their own, akin to a bird leaving their nest - the smell is just the sign that they have matured.

* Having Fluttershy suddenly be bad at knitting a tea cozy seems weird considering how considering what happened in [[ComicBook/MyLittlePonyMicroSeries the comics]]. However, Fluttershy said she ''started'' making tea cozies meaning she needs to practice in order to make better tea cozies.

** Also, as for why her knowledge of fashion has suddenly been forgotten, it's because last time it was brought up was when she was [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E14SuitedForSuccess helping Rarity with her gala dress]] and Rarity is Fluttershy's friend so she would be comfortable sharing her knowledge. However, sharing that knowledge with ponies she dosen't know ''isn't'' something she's comfortable with and doing that would make her nervous and make it harder for her to think.

**** She may have noticed that because she's a fashionista, so she would notice physical changes in a pony's body shape.
