So, I'm scratching my head a bit here, Starlight did receive a pretty good lesson of not supposed to use magic to solve everything (when she banished Discord, but to be fair, she is agitated at that time.). But Discord...

Always being character that's 'Loved and hated at the same time', I kinda like him being like a 'tester' of sorts since the previous episodes, but what was he doing here? It's already shown that his methods aren't effective to teach friendship at the school, but for some reason he kept antagonizing Starlight for being Twilight's choice for being 'incompatent'. Maybe he's not paying too much attention to the school, but Twilight herself, the pony who cares the most about the school, is willing to trust Starlight to run it, even sending Spike to help. So in a way, if Discord 'didn't trust' Starlight to be the headmare, does it mean he didn't trust Twilight's decision either?

Seriously, at this stage of time, especially after his role in "The Break Up Break Down", I do not expect Discord to do something like this. He's almost asking for Starlight to hurt him, knowing she can't, and that's a pretty messed up line of thought. I honestly think Starlight was 'forced' to apologize because she can't beat him, and to keep harm away from the students.

I'm not sure what's wrong here, Discord's level of chaos actually getting worse, or someone messed up the writing for him...
