• First time in the series where the villain is an ordinary pony. -Prince Goldstreak (talk) 21:59, April 7, 2015 (UTC)

• First female villain to be featured after another female villain with no male villains in-between (before now villains have always alternated between male and female). Ghostkaiba297 (talk) 20:59, March 5, 2015 (UTC)

The Cutie Map - Part 2

• Except for the ending, this is the first time that Twilight Sparkle has a different cutie mark; in this case, an equals sign (even though she also has it at the ending of Part 1). -Prince Goldstreak (talk) 22:48, April 7, 2015 (UTC)
• The third episode to have the Mane Five's cutie marks changed after Magical Mystery Cure and part 1 (outside of animation errors). --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 02:19, March 29, 2015 (UTC)
• This is the second time a main villain runs off rather than being killed, imprisoned, or reformed. (first being the Dazzlings) Ghostkaiba297 (talk) 16:13, April 4, 2015 (UTC)
  • And first time in the series. -Prince Goldstreak (talk) 03:18, April 5, 2015 (UTC)
  • I believe this is also the first time a main villain isn't defeated via releasing a large amount of magical energy against it. Vengir (talk) 07:56, April 5, 2015 (UTC)
  • Let's not forget this is also the first time the main villain vows revenge against the Mane Six. I think. LooneyTunerIan (talk) 04:46, November 27, 2015 (UTC)
    • Starlight doesn't say anything about revenge in this episode.   04:56, November 27, 2015 (UTC)

Castle Sweet Castle

• Second time the third episode of the season has "Castle" in the title, after Castle Mane-ia. - Jasonbres (talk) 14:38, March 17, 2015 (UTC)
  • And ironically, both episodes are the third episodes of a season! --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 18:46, March 17, 2015 (UTC)
    • That's not irony. That's coincidence. There's a huge difference. And BTW, you're repeating what I already said. - Jasonbres (talk) 19:58, March 17, 2015 (UTC)
• Second third episode after Season 4's Castle Mane-ia, written by Josh Haber, to feature a new writer (two new writers for this episode, not one). -Prince Goldstreak (talk) 09:01, April 12, 2015 (UTC)
• The fourth third episode of a season to star all of the Mane Six and Spike. --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 03:08, March 22, 2015 (UTC)
  • The Ticket Master, Lesson Zero, Too Many Pinkie Pies, and Castle Mane-ia have all starred the Mane Six and Spike too.   03:20, March 22, 2015 (UTC)
    • But for Too Many Pinkie Pies, it was mainly a Pinkie episode. For the other ones, it was an equal amount of screentime for the characters. --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 04:24, March 22, 2015 (UTC)
      • Wouldn't The Ticket Master and Lesson Zero be mainly Twilight (and maybe Spike) episodes if we are being that selective? Vengir (talk) 08:18, March 22, 2015 (UTC)
        • Yeah, that would be true then. --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 15:59, March 22, 2015 (UTC)
• The seventh episode to be written by more than one writer after The Ticket Master, Power Ponies, Three's A Crowd, Inspiration Manifestation, and The Cutie Mark Map parts 1 and 2, and the first episode where it contains both writers being new to the team --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 20:10, April 4, 2015 (UTC)
• Believe it or not, this is the very first time Twilight is seen snoring! So far, AJ, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Pinkie Pie and Twilight have all been seen snoring. Not sure if we have seen Fluttershy snore yet. - Jasonbres (talk) 18:31, April 10, 2015 (UTC)
  • What about Spike? He snores as well! --Bt3082 (talk) 21:03, February 16, 2016 (UTC)Bt3082

• First episode where the Golden Oak Library is referred to by name. - Jasonbres (talk) 17:41, April 11, 2015 (UTC)
• Third episode to mention Rainbow Dash's ciderholism, after The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000 and Bats!. - Jasonbres (talk) 13:27, April 12, 2015 (UTC)

Bloom & Gloom

• The second Cutie Mark Crusaders episode to take place in a fourth episode of a season (One Bad Apple). --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 04:26, March 14, 2015 (UTC)
  • As of right now, we're not sure if all three of them will make an appearance in this episode. -Prince Goldstreak (talk) 23:38, March 24, 2015 (UTC)

• • • It's pretty much common sense, brah. If it has something to do with AB wanting her CM, it is almost certain they all would play at least a minor part in it. --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 02:15, March 29, 2015 (UTC)
• First episode to have Apple Bloom in an episode title, as well as using the ampersand (&) instead of the word "and". -Prince Goldstreak (talk) 18:00, April 18, 2015 (UTC)

• First episode where Babs Seed was mentioned; but never seen. -Prince Goldstreak (talk) 16:21, April 18, 2015 (UTC)
  • Actually Babs did appear, in two of the photos from the Apple Family Reunion during Apple Bloom's third nightmare. --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 19:29, April 18, 2015 (UTC)
    • She didn't physically appear though since she was in the two photos in Apple Bloom's third nightmare. -Prince Goldstreak (talk) 01:47, April 19, 2015 (UTC)
• After Season 3's Sleepless in Ponyville (Scootaloo) and Season 4's For Whom the Sweetie Belle Toils, Princess Luna visits Apple Bloom in her dream in this episode. -Prince Goldstreak (talk) 16:21, April 18, 2015 (UTC)
  • Only this time, all the crusaders appear in the dream! :D --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 16:32, April 18, 2015 (UTC)
• The fifth episode the Apple barn gets destroyed after Swarm of the Century, Lesson Zero, Too Many Pinkie Pies, and Apple Family Reunion (even though it only gets destroyed in AB's dream). --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 16:07, April 18, 2015 (UTC)

• Second appearance of "Chicken Pie" (Pinkie wearing her chicken costume) after Luna Eclipsed. - Jasonbres (talk) 19:53, April 18, 2015 (UTC)
• First time that Princess Luna makes her season debut earlier than Celestia, assuming you don't count Nightmare Moon in the pilot.Raymondluxuryacht (talk) 15:01, April 19, 2015 (UTC)
• First time Big Mac refers to Applejack by name. He previously called her "AJ" in Winter Wrap Up. - Jasonbres (talk) 16:23, April 19, 2015 (UTC)
  • And the first time he pronounced Apple Bloom by name too! :D --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 17:22, April 19, 2015 (UTC)

Tanks for the Memories

• Third episode Cindy writes that takes place in the fifth episode of a season after Griffon the Brush Off and Sisterhooves Social (Hey, Prince, don't cut us :P). --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 04:58, April 15, 2015 (UTC)

• Second episode focusing on Rainbow Dash and her pet after... you should know the episode I'm talking about. --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 18:45, March 17, 2015 (UTC)
• Fourth episode to portray a completely cloudy sky over Equestria after Look Before You Sleep. Hearth's Warming Eve and Rarity Takes Manehattan. (Not counting Dragonshy, because it was covered in smoke, not clouds.) - Jasonbres (talk) 23:07, April 24, 2015 (UTC)
• Second episode to take place in fall after Fall Weather Friends. - Jasonbres (talk) 23:07, April 24, 2015 (UTC)
• This is the first appearance of Cloudsdale since Hurricane Fluttershy. Wow! That's a long time! Unless counting a flashback, then the last appearance was Games Ponies Play. --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 00:30, April 25, 2015 (UTC)
  • And second overall since "H.F.". -Prince Goldstreak (talk) 09:27, April 25, 2015 (UTC)

• The first episode Spike has any dialogue in a Rainbow Dash episode since Read It and Weep. --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 16:02, April 25, 2015 (UTC)
• This episode is basically Winter Wrap Up in reverse, as this time is a winter unwrap-up, and just like the Winter Wrap Up episode, a character of the Mane Six messes something up in the event. --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 16:05, April 25, 2015 (UTC)
• The first episode where all of the Mane Six visit Rainbow Dash at her cloud house. --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 16:07, April 25, 2015 (UTC)

• Rainbow Dash's first solo song appears in this episode, and this is the second song Rainbow Dash leads after Awesome As I Wanna Be. --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 16:10, April 25, 2015 (UTC)
  • First Rainbow Dash solo song in the series too. -Prince Goldstreak (talk) 17:33, April 25, 2015 (UTC)
    • Isn't that what I just said? XD --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 14:03, April 26, 2015 (UTC)
      • You said "episode", not "series". XD XD -Prince Goldstreak (talk) 21:38, April 26, 2015 (UTC)
        • I said "RD's first solo song appears in this episode" so that basically means series. :P --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 00:32, April 27, 2015 (UTC)
• First episode not to be the first part of a two-part episode not to have a friendship lesson. - Jasonbres (talk) 19:29, April 25, 2015 (UTC)
• First Winter-themed episode not to premiere in (or close to) Winter. Vengir (talk) 09:24, April 26, 2015 (UTC)
• Third episode in which a member of the Mane Six acts as antagonist, following Lesson Zero and Inspiration Manifestation. --Scrounge (talk) 21:03, January 17, 2016 (UTC)
  • As with Lesson Zero, your definition of "antagonist" in this sense is very loose.   21:09, January 17, 2016 (UTC)

  • Third. There's The Cutie Pox. --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 14:54, March 29, 2015 (UTC)
    • That was an Apple Bloom episode; oh well. Third it is. -Prince Goldstreak (talk) 02:31, March 30, 2015 (UTC)
      • If that was an AB episode then Sleepless in Ponyville is a Scootaloo episode. Gotta make sure the logic goes both ways, my friend. ;) --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 18:57, March 30, 2015 (UTC)
• Second episode where its title isn't spelled properly after Season 4's "Pinky Apple Pie". -Prince Goldstreak (talk) 23:28, May 4, 2015 (UTC)
• Trouble Shoes is the second character, after King Sombra, to be voiced by Jim Miller. -Prince Goldstreak (talk) 05:24, May 20, 2015 (UTC)
• Second antagonist that Friendship is Magic director Jim Miller voices after King Sombra from the two-part season three premiere. -Prince Goldstreak (talk) 19:53, May 2, 2015 (UTC)

• • Trouble Shoes isn't an antagonist. All the trouble he caused was just an accident. He was actually a nice pony, but just sad all the time. --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 19:56, May 2, 2015 (UTC)
    • Oh, you didn't need to cross it out. You could've said Trouble Shoes is the second character in general to be voiced by Big Jim. That's all, you were still right. :P --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 04:16, May 5, 2015 (UTC)
• Fourth western-themed episode after Over a Barrel, The Last Roundup and Pinkie Pride (the latter having dozens of references to both domestic westerns and spaghetti westerns). - Jasonbres (talk) 14:20, March 24, 2015 (UTC)

• First speaking roles for Braeburn and Sheriff Silverstar since season one. - Jasonbres (talk) 13:47, April 30, 2015 (UTC)
• The fourth episode when Applejack is the only Mane Six pony to appear, and the first time Big Mac and Granny Smith don't appear in one. --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 16:07, May 2, 2015 (UTC)
• Troubleshoes is the second "Eeyore" like character to appear in the series, first being Cranky Doodle Donkey. --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 16:07, May 2, 2015 (UTC)
  • I personally think it's debatable that Cranky is Eeyore-like (he seems more grumpy than depressed), though I can see how you would count him as such as well.-- Jonny Manz^talk_contribs^e-mail_{edit count} 23:48, May 2, 2015 (UTC)

• First time we see the Cutie Mark Crusaders at the Grand Galloping Gala. -Prince Goldstreak (talk) 04:29, May 15, 2015 (UTC)
• Third appearance of the Grand Galloping Gala (The Best Night Ever and A Friend in Deed). --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 23:54, March 5, 2015 (UTC)
  • Did they actually say it was the Gala or are you simply assuming? - Jasonbres (talk) 23:56, March 5, 2015 (UTC)
    • Yes. :) --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 23:58, March 5, 2015 (UTC)
      • Well, the Gala also appeared in multiple daydreams in The Ticket Master. Xannot ^Talk 08:28, March 7, 2015 (UTC)
        • So that would make it four, if we count that episode too. -Prince Goldstreak (talk) 06:20, April 18, 2015 (UTC)
