My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S2/E21 Dragon Quest/Tear Jerker

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Tear Jerker:

  • This whole episode can count as one. Spike breaks down into tears twice from not having any idea who he really is.
    • The scenes are particularly familiar to anyone who also doesn't know his or her biological family.
  • Spike's refusal to smash the phoenix egg, even at the risk of his own safety. "It's just an innocent, defenseless egg... like I was!" This isn't just a moral stand he's taking here (although it's that too;) he's actively identifying with the baby phoenix.
  • Spike 'shopping himself into the photo of Twilight's birthday party in Canterlot, to which he apparently wasn't invited.
