I disliked this episode for a number of reasons but I mainly didn't like this one because it just goes back on almost everything My Little Pony stood for. This series is meant to show everyone how valuable friends can be and how to get along with them. With or without good intentions, what Rainbow's friends did to her in this episode was not friendship; it was dishonest, manipulative and it teaches the audience that it's okay to betray a close friend's trust over an overswelling ego. I agree that Rainbow's behaviour was getting our of hand and that she needed a lesson in humility and bragging but this was the wrong way to do it.

I personally find it even worse that it is Rainbow's friends who taught this lesson. Learning that your closest friends are completely willing to plot behind your back and take advantage of you while you are vulnerable at first resort can be really hurtful.
