MLP:FIM The End in Friend S8 Ep17

This is the fifth episode written by Gillian M. Berrow (her previous episodes being The One Where Pinkie Pie Knows, Fluttershy Leans in, Daring Done and Grannies Gone Wild). The episode was storyboarded by Mincheul Park (who has been boarding for the show since the season premiere of season 5), Cory Toomley (who has been boarding for the show since season 2) and Megan Willis (Who has been boarding for the show since Season 6). In this episode Rarity and Rainbow Dash wonder why exactly they are friends.


This episode is strange as the relationship between Rarity and Rainbow Dash has been an extremely effective and touching part of the show. To see them doubt being friends because of one bad day seems to not fit into the already established relationship. However as a standalone episode this is excellent. The humor often hits very well. I especially love the jokes involving the glitter from Rarity's boots. Starlight is in great form here and I am reminded why I love her in the role of guidance consular. The message is a very good one and the story is quite charming.
