![]() The entire hall is wrecked, and while Cadance is able to use some neat crystal magic to plug up the water, it is too late, and, with Spike sneezing because of the Dragonsneeze tree’s flowers, the gemstone statue also ends up being wrecked. In one of the biggest and most confusing contrivances, a ball from the polo match ends up hitting one of the Dragonsneeze trees, which causes it to topple over and leads to one falling on the broken water main, causing it to burst and flood the hall in which Cadance and Spike are speaking. This would be fine if this moral had more foreshadowing earlier in the episode, and if this episode’s events reflected this moral correctly. ![]() Cadance confronts Spike again, questioning Spike’s actions, and while Spike does justify himself with good points, he admits he did get a little carried away at some point. Insert a montage of Spike doing a couple selfish things under the guise of Twilight's orders (such as having a picture of himself painted), and Spike is shown relaxing again. Then, when Cadance leaves (to do what?), Spike goes from good-intentioned to self-absorbed, doing an evil laugh for no explainable reason. Cadance quickly jumps to the suspension that Spike may be doing this simply because he want to exercise power, and, despite showing no previous signs of this, Spike looks guilty and worried while denying the claim. Spike’s interactions proceed to draw the attention of Cadance, who confronts Spike. Out of all the decisions Spike has made to this point, the one about the broken water main is perhaps the most worrying, but we still do see Spike’s very clear motive behind it. The same happens when Spike talks to the worker who was trying to fix the water main earlier, whom Spike advises to continue ceasing work on until the “no noise policy” is out of effect. Spike goes to a pony who is supposed to educate Twilight on the gemstones that make up the statue (from the episode’s start), and while the pony feels uneasy about it and Spike does lie about Twilight “asking him to take care of it”, Spike does explain himself and shows good intentions. Furthermore, Spike expresses great joy when he talks about how much he got down that Twilight won’t have to worry about now, and appears to only desire to help Twilight to an even greater extent. We’re even shown an example of Spike not letting ponies get away with unfair treatment, as, when Fancy Pants asks for passes to every party and meeting, Spike denies it. When a pony talks about how one of his friends took his seat, he dismisses Spike’s advice (in a pretty rude fashion, might I add), but Spike, after checking to see if Twilight is awake, chooses to help the pony anyway, giving decent, if somewhat simplistic, advice: no friendship should end over a seat.įollowing this, we’re treated with a montage of Spike helping various ponies, and given we don’t see any consequences of Spike’s actions, nor see Spike abusing any of his power, we can presume Spike is making decisions to the best of his ability. It makes very little sense, and leads to delegates swarming outside of Twilight’s room with problems of their own. However, for some reason, Spike is later told by an angry delegate that the decision was “a disaster”, and that the speakers simply shouted over each other, because they don’t understand the concept of “sharing”. Spike does nothing to suggest he is enjoying power in either situation, and while some might disagree with his decisions, it is undeniable that he is sticking to Cadance’s original orders. Spike tells him to stop, and while the pony seems concerned about this because they were attempting to fix a broken water main, the pony does concede when Spike mentions Princess Twilight’s name. A similar situation happens with another pony using a jackhammer. What is important is that Spike mentions how he is doing this for Princess Twilight, causing the pony to back away and follow Spike’s orders immediately. It’s an exceptionally uncreative name, but that isn’t very important at this moment. Here, Spike finds a pony who is trying to cut down, and I quote, “Dragonsneeze” trees. Unfortunately, he is somewhat unsuccessful at accomplishing anything besides making the polo players mad, but he gets too distracted by the noise of a nearby chainsaw to care. However, a nearby polo match randomly increases in volume, and thus Spike goes to try to break it up. In an odd moment, Spike hears a chirping bird and believes it will wake up Twilight (though it actually isn’t very loud), but it inevitably flies away. ![]() We cut forward to Spike guarding Twilight carefully. Spike vows not to let her down, thus, the episode’s true plot begins. Twilight is really cute in this scene.īut seriously, Twilight is exhausted to the point that she collapses upon reaching her room in the tower! Cadance, slightly worried, orders to “make sure she gets some rest today”, and that Twilight isn’t disturbed.
