Why is this episode necessary?

At least "Where the Apple Lies" gives Applejack character development, and the fact that it's a Whole Episode Flashback helps maintain contiunity.

But this episode...now that we've seen the season finale two-parter, this episode is entirely pointless.

It's not tied to any sort of story arc, and it's a Continuity Snarl because it's aired after the season finale, yet takes place before it.
