Make New Friends but Keep Discord

Make New Friends But Keep Discord is an upcoming episode of My Little Pony Friendship is Magic. It is the seventh episode of the fifth season and the show's ninety-eighth episode overall. The title is a play on the phrase "make new friends but keep the old."

Production and development
To a fan at Dallas Comic Con in mid-May 2014, John de Lancie "told that on Thursday he had been recording for an episode of mlp [sic] and that he and fluttershy [sic] were talking and Fluttershy asks if she can bring another friend to their next get together and then Discord gets super jealous."

The episode was first revealed in a season 5 trailer by Entertainment Weekly and Hasbro in March 2015, with animatics bearing the production number "507".

The Smooze is based on the G1 entity of the same name.

"01:22:13:16" is "how many minutes and seconds into episode 507 is the part where Discord's feelings are hurt the most" according to a Twitter conversation with Jayson Thiessen.
