* The flashback takes place when Filthy Rich and Spoiled Milk were engaged and before Apple Bloom and Diamond Tiara were born. If their hospital visit is any indication, what are the odds that they're getting married because [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar they just conceived Diamond Tiara]]? For that matter, could Diamond have been the result of Spoiled Milk using TheBabyTrap to force Filthy Rich into marriage?

*** But one has to consider the likes of Dragon Lord Ember and Prince Rutherford, whom Twilight befriended previously. If she could ask them for help, they would have been more than willing to lay siege to the Changeling Hive to help save their friends and allies from Chrysalis.

** Keep in mind at "A Canterlot Wedding", [[NearVillainVictory the the Changelings decisively won]], in spite of everyone putting up a fight, until a love powered DeusExMachina. If you count the comics as canon, despite the heroes now being familiar with them, they've never won against them unless they had a power boost (Twilight), surprise (Celestia), or they were supposed to loose as a distraction. It was only luck the heroes lasted as long as they did, long enough for [[SpannerInTheWorks new characters to show up and help]].

Expect that Twilight was captured before she could warn them.


*** However, there was the matter of Prince Rutherford of Yakyakistan and Dragon Lord Ember to consider being allies Twilight could turn to for help. With the dragons and yaks on Twilight's side, Chrysalis and her Swarm would have been [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome charbroiled by Torch, or smashed by a very irate Rutherford for kidnapping their friends]].

** But Twilight had no allies left. If anything, this makes her behaviour in "No Second Prances" even worse in hindsight - had Starlight not befriended Trixie, the rescue would most likely fail earlier at the trap stage, and Equestria would be doomed. Nice job there, Princess of Friendship.

* [[spoiler: Given Thorax's transformation and how he was born with a need for friendship, it's implied that this might actually be how the Changlings were meant to biologically react, but Chrysalis twisted them into the vampiric monsters they were and trapped them in what would be their "nymph" phase permanently. Starlight wasn't kidding when she said she was exactly where Chrysalis was; this was no different than denying Ponies their Cutie Marks. Essentially both of them kept their subjects in line by denying them maturity.]]

Judging from the DeathGlare she was receiving from the Royal Family, Mane Six, Discord, Trixie, Thorax, and her reformed Swarm, she was about to be given the beating of her life, if not condemned to Tartarus to face Cerberus instead, for everything she's put the Princesses, Shining Armor, and the Elements of Harmony through, both here and back at the Royal Wedding.]]

Big changes like the ones seen in the finale really should be spoiler-tagged.


* The changelings are very much like eusocial insects, and Chrysalis is a queen, meaning a female capable of reproduction. Given time, she can establish a new hive, and a new population of love-starved changelings.
** Related to the above, we don't know if there are any other female Changelings capable of reproduction, meaning unless Thorax and the rest of the changed Changelings are immortal, they're doomed to die out while Chrysalis' Changelings continue to multiply.
** Chrysalis isn't totally alone, either. The changelings she planted in the places of those who were abducted are still out there, and there's no reason not to think they're still loyal to her.

** There's nothing to suggest those communication devices actually drew power from the map. They seemed to have their own source of magic.



* This episode showed that the Changelings were ''holding back'' during A Canterlot Wedding, as they effortlessly infiltrate the entirety of Equestria with no resistance, taking the places of the Royal Family and Elements of Harmony in Ponyville, Canterlot, and the Crystal Empire in short order. With Chrysalis on the warpath now after losing everything, when she comes back there might not be anything anypony can do about it.

Given what kind of person we've seen Chrysalis is (and her ability to just flat out replace someone) and how fragile Starlight's own self esteem is right now, this pony is going to be in for one hell of a trip if Chrysalis ever reappears in the series again.
