I think this episode is at the top, or at least close to top episodes this season. It was beautiful. Seaquestria/Mount Aris is even more interesting now and the way they followed up with what happened with it after the Movie was fantastic. I just love the idea of the hippogriffs/seaponies choosing one form but switching back and forth as they please. Same with the idea that both of them developed cultures distinct from each other. Really makes the whole thing feel like a living, breathing place. If I continue geeking out about the world building we'll be here for hours.

Terramar (great name) is a really good new character and I want to see more of him. It's pretty neat how his whole situation can be taken as a metaphor for either separated parents or a bicultural/mixed race identity. It was also nice to see Twilight finally take a break (sorry, I mean do research) for once and it makes me happy to see just how well she's getting along with the citizens of Mount Aris. She's grown so much. Speaking of growth, the CMC. Sweetie and Scootaloo especially were great here. I like their reasons for choosing either side of Mount Aris, and Scootaloo being happy to "fly" is something that will probably never cease to be adorable and sad at the same time. The song was fun too.

Overall, it was amazing. Just a treat to watch the whole way through, both for the worldbuilding and the story. More of this please.
