That entire scene with Spike was a bit dumb to be honest. I mean, Pinkie Pie could've at least told him to say what she wanted him to say in the first place, otherwise, Spike gets confused about it and goes on about the stuff that Pinkie Pie doesn't want to hear, only to lead her into more anger. Another thing about the scene is that Spike doesn't even bother to ask Pinkie if she was ok. He just wanted the gems. As a Spike fan, I think this is very out of character for the little guy. Yes, he goes out of control when it comes to gems, as shown in Just For Sidekicks. But....i'm pretty sure he'll still ask his friend if she's ok.

Another thing I don't like about this episode is....since when did The Mane 6 became rude about their friend? I mean, I know they point out their friends flaws, since as when Fluttershy complained about Rarity's dress in Suited For Success. But....this? W-why? It doesn't help that Pinkie Pie forgets about it since she didn't bother to ask her friends why they would say such harsh things about her. Therefore, it's a little out of character for them to be this harsh about their own friend. Heck, they didn't even care to bother asking why their friend, Pinkie Pie, would watch them doing something for her Birthday Party.

However, these problems don't annoy me, they just seem way too odd. Other than that, this episode is a pretty great one for it being the first Pinkie Pie episode, with its decent humor, and a very nice basic plot that has been done before, such as in The Powerpuff Girls. Pinkie Pie's issue with thinking her friends were just gonna give her a farewell birthday sounds pretty understandable. I mean, can you imagine if something like this happened to you in real life, only to find out it was supposed to be a surprise party for you? Overall, this is a g ood episode, but not as good as the season 1 finale,  The Best Night Ever.
