* Terramar's dilemma is unsetllingly similar to the situation of a child with recently divorced parents (Of course,it isn't the case, because kids show and everything, but his family 'was' split in two.).

* While most of the other creatures react with indignation when Neighsay treats them with hostility and they subsequently depart with their respective students, Thorax's reaction is much more resigned. It's a sobering reminder that even with the Changeling Hive's reformation, their old queen and the Wedding Invasion have still left major black marks on the species' reputation. This also indicates that just because the main heroes have forgiven them for their misdeeds, it doesn't mean that others have.

* Limestone Pie is miserable "all the time!" She's also instantly jealous upon hearing Maud has a boyfriend, giving a quite dark view into her life.

** Twilight never ''meant'' for the EEA guidelines to make the students bored or stressed. She just wanted to work hard to make sure the school was approved. And how is that hard work rewarded? With Chancellor Neighsay [[MovingTheGoalposts telling her that students from other races are NOT allowed at EEA schools]] and for that simple mistake, [[DisproportionateRetribution her school being unedified right on the spot without any second chances]].

** Twilight being so oblivious to the misery surrounding her is kind of sobering when you realize she's so set on going by the book, she's blind to how the EEA's guidelines have ruined her school.

* Pinkie is shocked when she discovers that Mudbriar seems to know things about Maud that she, Muad's own sister, doesn't. When Maud confirms this to be true, Pinkie runs off crying, thinking Maud doesn't need a "Best Sister Friend Forever" anymore. Kind of [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything reminiscent]] of a parent believing that because their kids are getting older, they don't need a mom or dad anymore.

** At one point, Silverstream [[WhatIsThisFeeling asks if this is what boredom feels like]]. Seeing a [[{{Keet}} lively, optimistic character]] like her experience such unhappy feelings for the first time is pretty disheartening.

* Chancellor Neighsay's definitely a bit of a flankhole, but [[WellIntentionedExtremist he still has Equestria's future in mind]] even though his way isn't always the right way. You have to wonder just what made him so jaded in the first place. And how did he harbor such resentment for the other races to begin with? Just some food for thought.

'''Thorax''':(sad)...But we're friends!

* Just the sight of things go downhill after Twilight restrains everyone's curriculum. The song is brief, but you can feel the life drain from the place once all of her friends are restricted to a standard classroom format. The resulting stress on the students can probably hit home for several viewers.
