Line 5:
* [[Be Careful What You Wish For]]: Next time the fandom wishes Big Macintosh to talk again...hopefully, they won't use the Monkey's Paw next time.
* [[Broken Base]] / [[Die for Our Ship]]:
** When the episode was announced, the Big MacIntosh x [[Launcher of a Thousand Ships|Anymare-]][[Even the Guys Want Him|(Or Stallion)]][[Launcher of a Thousand Ships|-But-Cheerilee]] shippers cried [[Ruined FOREVER]].
** If anything, by the end, the only ships sunk were those involving Caramel [[Ho Yay]], given that he's seen flirting with a filly. [[No Bisexuals|Well, maybe...]]
*** Straight Caramel shippers (he's been shipped multiple times with Twilight, Applejack, and Bon Bon if you can believe it) on the other hand has bitten the dust.
** The episode lesson seems to be "Don't try to force Love" or "Don't manipulate people." Plus, the episode's ending was left deliberately ambiguous. Mac and Cheerilee could get together, they could stay single, we don't know, and the writers were ''very careful about doing exactly that.''
*** In the end, all this episode really did was add Cheerilee to Mac's list of [[Launcher of a Thousand Ships|potential ships]].
* [[Chickification]]: [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 /E23 The Cutie Mark Chronicles|The Cutie Mark Chronicles]] established that Scootaloo has a much lower tolerance for so-called "sappiness" than Applebloom and Sweetie Belle. In this episode, though, she's just as eager to see Cheerilee and Big MacIntosh get together. It's not a [[Tropes Are Not Bad|bad change]] by any means, but it is jarring and makes the Cutie Mark Crusaders seem more homogeneous than usual. Though to be fair, the goal is to make Cheerilee happy, and she's just as disgusted, if not more so, as the others by how sickeningly sweet they end up being.
** In Scootaloo's defense, she ''was'' the one who quipped that the first encounter might have been ''too'' romantic.
** Agreed, Scootaloo is still the least girly of the Crusaders. The fact that she isn't constantly complaining about how "sappy" everything is doesn't mean anything. And anyway, we can all say safely say that this trope will never again be applied to Scootaloo. Also, this isn't the fist time Scootaloo's done something that wasn't totally masculine.
* [[Ho Yay]]: Look closely at the opening shot in the classroom, and you'll see that a very surprised Diamond Tiara gets an H&H card from another filly.
** From the same scene, who [[Fan Nickname|Tootsie Flute]] was going to give her card to is a little more ambiguous but the fact remains its either [[Fan Nickname|Truffle ShuffleSHUFFLE!]] (the chubby gray colt) or Twist.
* [[Most Wonderful Sound]]:
** Sweetie Belle gets almost an entire song all to herself.
Line 23:
* [[Nightmare Fuel]]/[[Squick]]: During the song, {{spoiler|the stallion inside the giant jars of jelly. The face he makes is a bit too happy for somebody covered in jelly. [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|Seriously way too happy]]...}}
** {{spoiler|There's a reason it's sticky.}}
* [[Tastes Like Diabetes]]: [[In -Universe]]. The CMCs are disgusted by Big Mac and Cheerilee's displays of affection.
* [[Tear Jerker]]: [[Fan Nickname|Tootsie Flute]] finding out [http://bronies.memebase.com/2012/02/10/my-little-pony-friendship-is-magic-brony-hnnnnng/ her Valentine likes somepony else]. Poor little filly.
* [[What an Idiot!]]: Twilight Sparkle gives Apple Bloom a book with a recipe for a potion because she's interested in the history of Hearts and Hooves Day. In "The Cutie Pox" Apple Bloom almost killed herself by misusing a potion. And potions are arguably the most potent tool or weapon in the ''My Little Pony'' universe. So basically this is the equivalent of somebody loaning an 1858 Remington pistol and the bullets to go with it to a kid who's interested in the Civil War. A kid who's already accidentally shot herself once.
** [[Fridge Brilliance|She's a librarian, she can't deny anyone wanting to borrow a book]].
