I absolutely love this episode! Rainbow's parents are just so cute, Scootaloo was amazing, and Rainbow... she just felt so ''real. ''One thing that's amazing about this episode is how it doesn't paint anyone as the "bad guy". Yes, Rainbow was being insensitive to her parents, but it's understandable since they were being a bit... loud while doing it. Yes, Windy and Bow could have toned it down a bit, but their daughter has apparently not kept in contact with them for a long time and she achieved her life goal.

Scootaloo... man was she amazing. I think this is the first time Rainbow Dash has legitimately learned something from her surrogate sister. There was Cart Before the Ponies, but that didn't really focus and Scootaloo and Rainbow specifically. I loved her bonding wih Rainbow's parents and little remarks ("what's wrong with a little support?") that just tell so much about how she was raised. It's up for debate whether her parents are dead, neglectful, or very busy, but personally I'm going with the latter.

Also, I am loving the variety and colorful personalities that the Mane 6's parents are bringing to the table. Twilight's (as far as we know) are the traditional, loving parents, Rarity's are down-to-earth and friendly, Fluttershy's are shy and quiet, Pinkie's are old-fashioned but great people once you know them, and Rainbow's are loud and very supportive. Wonder what AJ's will be like. Wow this comment got long. I'm gonna end it now before I start going off track.

Overall, an amazing and adorable episode. I'm loving the family theme for this season so far! The new writers for this season are all doing fantastic work so far.
