I don't think either of those qualify as Wham Episodes either. As the main page says,

In retrospect, \"The Cutie Re-Mark\" ended up changing the status quo of the show \'\'\'way\'\'\' more than I had originally expected, but I feel that\'s something that was built up over time, not a sudden \"wham\". That said, you could make a decent argument for adding it back in.
Similarly, \"To Where and Back Again\" did completely overhaul the changelings, who have been villains since Season 2, so I can see the wham argument. I don\'t agree that reforming villains counts as something \"surprising\" in this show, and it was somewhat foreshadowed by \"The Times They Are a-Changeling\" (which is definitely not a Wham Episode), but meh.
Personally I\'d cut both. The only two really, genuinely, non-debatable \"wham moments\" in the show are Twilight\'s alicornification and the CMC getting their marks. Golden Oaks being destroyed is a lesser example, but still a pretty good one.
