"I know she needed to be put on the right path, but giving her the space to make her own decisions worked pretty well! Isn't that how Celestia taught you?"

- Spike, The Crystalling - Part 2

"I shouldn't have tried to pick and choose your friends for you. Just like me, you have to make your own decisions, and your own friends."

- Twilight Sparkle, this suckfest

Honestly, I preferred it in The Crystalling because the events happened, and the lesson came from that. In this "episode", the events happened just for the lesson.

I also wish they'd bring back the journal. In fact, I'd even accept the letters at this point. Nowadays, the lessons are blatantly spelled out through awkward-as-hell dialogue.
