But here's the problem. Rainbow Dash didn't learn from the example her friends set for her until the end of the episode. Even then, that wasn't until her friends were revealed as Mare Do Well and directly told her their intentions. Up until then, her friend's idea wasn't making her more humble, as a matter of fact, it was making her worse. I would find it more believable that it was a great idea if Rainbow Dash actually started to realize her mistake throughout the episode, not just become more jealous and bitter. Plus, it isn't believable that she really learned anything at all because they didn't show the friendship report at the end! I believe a nice touch to this episode would have been Rainbow Dash donning the costume at the end to show that she actually learned something. That is where I believe the writing fell flat. I think this is the weakest written episode of the show for that reason. That doesn't mean the weakest episode overall, as the animation, music, and references were all great. That's just my opinion, though.
