Hmm... I'd say that was a pretty much by-the-numbers Rarity episode. It goes down some of the same well-trod path that we saw in Suited for Success and, to a certain degree, For Whom the Sweetie Belle Toils - that Rarity is very much a individual artist rather than a designer of mass-produced fashion and that, sometimes, this artistic ethos and large orders can clash to the point where it wears her down a lot.

That said, this had some interesting new touches to it, including reminding us the degree how working with individuals is the core of Rarity's method and how such individual work can and does energise her.

Hardly a classic and hardly a great revealation into the character of Rarity. However, it still reminded us what makes Fashion Horse tick.

Overall, a good Slice of Life episode for Rarity getting a solid 7/10 from me.

Moral of the Story: Success is worthless if it doesn't bring happiness whilst happiness is a success that goes beyond quantification.

End note: Wsa it me or was the Canterlot Carousel set largely identical to human!Rarity's boutique in the Equestria Girls universe?
