* BookEnds: As a sort of BrickJoke, the episode begins with Rainbow arriving at Twilight's castle for a friendship problem only to realize she has to go back to the Wonderbolt Headquarters for it. The episode ends with her and Twilight arriving at the castle after solving the problem only for Misty Fly to arrive and say Dash is needed at Headquarters once again for a Wonderbolt emergency. Both times Rainbow complains that she was literally just there.

* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Twilight explains to Sky Stinger about her own problems understanding friendships at first to compare it to his own difficulties with flying and tricks, pointing out that by working on it with the help of Rainbow and the others she ended up going so far as to become the Princess of Friendship. A confused Sky asks if she's trying to say that she wants him to become the "Princess of Flying."

** During Vapor Trail's flashback to her youth, we see her parents flittering about their front yard trying to engage Vapor in some activity, thus acting as [[MeddlingParents "helicopter parents"]]. Their cutie marks are rotors, also pointing to the pun.

Outnumbered Sibling is being disambiguated.


* OutnumberedSibling: From a look at the flashback, Sky Stinger was the only colt among his siblings, and he has at least four sisters.

Doesn't really count as a Wham Line since it's revealed early on in the episode that Sky isn't as talented as he thinks he is.


* WhamLine: Vapor Trail makes a not-so-subtle revelation to Sky Stinger when his overconfidence prevents him from listening to reason and truth.
-->'''Vapor Trail:''' SKY, YOU'RE NOT AS GOOD AS YOU THINK YOU ARE!!

* OhCrap: Vapor Trail's reaction when Rainbow announces that the Wonderbolt cadets will have to go through solo trials, since she’s not very confident in her ability to fly well on her own and since she knows that Sky Stinger will do badly without her helping him.

* OnlyChildSyndrome: The pegasus Vapor Trail was an only child whose parents piled attention on her, barely giving her a second to herself. Because of this, Vapor Trail developed an aversion to being in the spotlight, and was content with acting as the "wing pony" to her best friend Sky Stinger.

* RewatchBonus: Vapor Trail's OhCrap reaction when told there are gonna be solo trials at the end of the week could be read as performance anxiety; but once you know how much she's been assisting Sky Stinger with his flying, it's clear she's more worried about ''him'' performing on his own.

Removing trope name sinkhole


* [[UptownGirl Uptown Filly]]: There are hints of romance in the flashback showing the childhoods of Sky Stinger and Vapor Trail. Although both are pegasi, Sky's family lives on the ground, has many children and they have an overall lower-class appearance to them. In contrast, Vapor Trail is an only child, her family lives in a nice-looking cloud cottage and her parents have upper-class accents. The childhood romance part is downplayed but still present too.

Conflicts with Platonic Life Partners. Their interactions never included the blushing or anything else that signify romantic intent. This is shipping goggles


* ShipTease: Sky Stinger and Vapor Trail. The two are so close it's hard to believe they're not a couple.
