Go To

  • Accidental Innuendo:
  • Broken Base: Many argue that Twilight yelling at Flurry Heart was the right thing to do, as Flurry put the sick foals and hospital staff in jeopardy, and that Twilight shifting the blame onto herself completely excuses Flurry Heart's behaviour. However others think that it technically was Twilight's fault as she was tasked with looking after Flurry Heart and ended up barely paying her any attention all day. Still others say that both are kind of right; Flurry Heart's tantrum did need to be stopped before somepony got hurt, so the initial yelling was justified. But after that Twilight had to acknowledge that she'd been neglecting Flurry Heart all day, and that Flurry Heart couldn't be blamed for acting out as a result.
  • Rescued from the Scrappy Heap: This episode has helped salvage people's opinions on Flurry Heart following her mixed reception from her first appearance, mainly for painting her innocent mayhemic hijinks in a more sympathetic light.
  • Ron the Death Eater: Some have called Flurry Heart a brat for the way she acted, but the entire message of this episode was that Flurry Heart acted out because she was being neglected, and that it was Twilight's fault for agreeing to look after Flurry Heart when she knew her schedule was jam-packed. All the times Flurry did act out, it was because Twilight wasn't paying attention to her. Even in real life, it would be wrong to accept an offer to look after a child when you're aware you'll be too busy to properly take care of them. Plus, it's a bit ridiculous to get mad at Flurry for being a "brat" or immature considering she's literally an infant.
  • Visual Effects of Awesome: The circular pan around Twilight and a bunch of floating objects in the hospital.
  • The Woobie: Poor Flurry Heart is at a stage in her life where she not only needs, but craves as much love and attention as she can get, yet her parents feel they need a break from her while her aunt just doesn't have time to spare for her.
