Talk:One Bad Apple/@comment-919917-20121026173524

In my view, One Bad Apple is most likely going to be the bully themed episode as mentioned a short time back. Here's how I see it going down; a bigger, meaner bully (who is certainly larger than the average filly) arrives at school and starts picking on Diamond Tiara. The CMC at first are glad DT is being put in her place, but pretty soon think the new bully, who is a lot more "in your face" and traditional type of bully, is going to too far but of course, this only results in them and all the other fillies and colts being bullied. It goes so far to the point the bully starts picking on EVERYONE, including the adults.

An interesting subplot could be that the CMC go to Big Macintosh for help, but he refuses, stating it will not help anything. It could be revealed, and I do believe it, Macintosh was both a victim of bullying and then/or a bully himself when he was a colt and deeply regrets it. If you bully back, you are no better than the bully.

However, near the end, when Big Mac witnesses what a sadistic little (well, big) punk this filly, he finally has had enough and steps in and puts the bully in her place, possibly leading to Big Mac's absolute Crowning Moment of Awesome in the series.
