* BittersweetEnding: Though Sombra is defeated for good and Twilight and her friends now have the confidence to properly rule Equestria once Celestia and Luna officially retire, the Tree of Harmony and the Elements of Harmony are still destroyed and the ponies have no clue that Grogar and three more of their former enemies are still at large. Grogar also uses Sombra's failure as an example to his remaining recruits, warning them what will happen if they cross him and forcing them to work for him.

* BigBadWannabe: Though Sombra does manage to destroy the Elements of Harmony and the Tree of Harmony, his entire reign over Equestria was ultimately doomed from the start. Discord could have beaten him whenever he wanted and by the end of the episode he ends up DeaderThanDead, with Grogar using his failure as an example to keep the remaining members of his LegionOfDoom in line.
