History Recap / MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS8E2SchoolDazePart2

* StupidEvil: Neighsay is a pro-Equestria WellIntentionedExtremist... whose open FantasticRacism against the non-pony leaders and their students almost jeopardize his country's international standing.

%%* WeWillMeetAgain:

* WeWillMeetAgain: See SequelHook above.

* WaitWhat: Sandbar has this reaction when he and the other students hear the nations are going to go to war because the students went missing.
-->'''Sandbar:''' Wait, what’s happening?

* CombinedEnergyAttack: Starlight and Twilight combine their magic to create a barrier which repels the pukwudgies without affecting anyone else, similar to Cadance and Shining Armor's spell at the climax of "A Canterlot Wedding" but smaller in scale.

** Angel Bunny is seen hopping up and down gleefully to answer a question as a member of Starlight's class, referencing their short scene together in No Second Prances.

* FingerMuzzle: When Rainbow Dash is about to repeat her whole explanation and apology, Grampa Gruff shuts her up with a finger of his talon, so he can talk instead.

* ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem: Neighsay tries to shut down the School of Friendship a second time when he says it can't open because the EEA disallowed it. Twilight counters by saying that it won't be under the EEA's rules, and makes her own rulebook for how the school is going to be run.

** A suspicious and angry Ember asks the changeling Thorax, "What are you up to, ''shape-shifter?!''" This alludes to ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'' where the word "shapeshifter" was a pejorative against the species calling themselves "Changelings". [[note]]Historically, it was "changeling" that was the insult, but became an AppropriatedAppellation, while "shapeshifter", which started out neutral, took on a more degrading tone.[[/note]]

{{Gasp}}: Rarity gives one when Twilight says dresses won't help her with her situation.

* BigWhat: A simultaneous one for Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Rarity and Applejack when they learn their students from outside Equestria have gone missing.

* CowerPower: Ocellus briefly hides behind Smolder after saying she wants to stay at the school.

* BadLiar: When Pinkie asks Sandbar why he's ordered so many cupcakes, he claims he's just "really hungry".

* BlatantLies: When Pinkie asks Sandbar why he's ordered so many cupcakes, he claims he's just "really hungry".

* DisproportionateRetribution: When a single member of their species goes missing due to wanting to stay with their new friends, almost every leader is willing to resort to violence on Equestria and each other unless/until they are found, mostly because they believe the students must have had inside help from another nation. It turns out they did, though from a well-meaning pony student. At least partially justified for Silverstream -- she is the niece of Queen Novo, after all, making her family, and she was under General Seaspray's protection, so if anything happened to her, Novo would be more than willing to have Seaspray rally his men to find her and bring her home safe and sound.

* CowerPower: Ocellus briefly hides behind Smolder ater saying she wants to stay at the school.

* OhCrap:
** The Mane Six when they hear the students have run away from their kingdoms.
** Sandbar when he sees the Mane Six are looking for his friends, since he's helping them hide.
** The students when they hear that their kingdoms are threatening to go to war with Equestria and each other due to them running away.

** A suspicious and angry Ember asks the changeling Thorax, "What are you up to, ''shape-shifter?!''" This alludes to Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine where the word "shapeshifter" was a pejorative against the species calling themselves "Changelings".

* ArtEvolution: The design of Canterlot's throne room is now identical to the one used in the movie, rather than the somewhat plainer design still used in the episode's opening sequence.

** The throne room in Canterlot castle retains the redesign from the movie.

* ShockwaveStomp: When Chancellor Neighsay insists that the school will remain closed after Twilight breaks his lock, he punctuates it by stompling his hoof to produce a shockwave that ruffles everyone present. Twilight and the others aren't willing to back down, however.

* WheelOFeet: Yona briefly moves this way, when she sees Sandbar returning to sleepover spot and rushes out to meet him.

* YouShallNotPass: Neighsay dramatically says "None Shall Pass!" when he still refuses to allow the school of Friendship to be attended after Twilight removes his seal, accentuating his words with a shock wave of energy from his body. He eventually stands down when Twilight and Celestia tell him off and state the school won't be under the EEA's jurisdiction.
