I don't think it's the worst or even one of the worst as the show has had many waaaay worse episodes, and I don't even hate it, but I do dislike it and think it sucks.

SPOILER:

The episode is so twisted. Pinkie Pie gets a new instrument she sucks at and starts following everyone everywhere playing it all day and night, so they finally tell her she's not good and needs to cut that out, so Pinkie Pie gets so depressed, she can't even do anything anymore, so she decides to abandon everything forever and move to another country, and then they all decide that since she's that broken up about it, they should all just let her go back to playing it all the time and tolerate and like it because that's what good friends do, and they even say if anyone else doesn't like it, that's too bad. NO. Pinkie Pie is the one in the wrong here. Why is she that despondent and that attached to an instrument she just found out about? The issue is her behavior, but that isn't addressed, and they all instead decide that it's better to go back to how things were before and appease her, let her have her way, and tolerate her behavior. No. This is horrible.

This is the 2nd time they've done this. In A Matter of Principals, Discord starts tormenting everyone at the school and ruining all the lessons because Starlight wouldn't let him teach, so is the episode about Discord learning that was very wrong of him and apologizing? No. It just gets so out of hand that Starlight apologizes to him and says she was wrong, and the tone of the episode actually acts like she was the one who needed to learn a lesson and not him, so the moral here is that if other people display toxic behavior, if they throw a big enough tantrum, you should just let them get their way and get away with it because they'll make things worse if you don't. This moral makes me uncomfortable for obvious reasons. It's completely backwards and antiethetical to how the show's been up until now, which is that if someone does something bad, they're in the wrong, and they need to repent. The problem is them, not everyone else for not wanting to live their life around it.

And 1 of the characters asks why this is such a big deal to Pinkie Pie, and the episode never gives us an answer.
