S4E8 Rarity Takes Manehattan

Also known as the best episode. At least for me. I feel like this episode does so much right. The lesson, the song, how Rarity acts especially under pressure (though I do like to call it payback for Suited for Success) I just think this episode works well on so many levels. It shows Rarity with her element, generosity, and how that works for her and in some cases against her, yet she doesn't let it drag her down. And I find that really motivational honestly, it means a lot to me that her experience didn't stop her from being who she is. There are little things I take out of it too. For example, I actually greatly appreciate what happens to Suri, and I think there's some things to be taken out of this. There are "Suri"s in the world, absolutely, dickheads who will take advantage of you, and get away with it with no repercussions, but you shouldn't let that bother you. Rarity isn't consumed by some intense hatred for her for what she did, she let it go and isn't bothered by that, and continues to help Coco, who is honestly great as she is. IDW was originally supposed to do a similar type of issue with Rarity, but Hasbro veto'd it because this was in production. Honestly, I'm glad they did. If they did, in their inability to care for much, they probably would have gone with something that just became a bad revenge plot, when I feel not showing any sort of need for that in this episode, tells a lot about her. I really hope Suri never appears again in the show, because sometimes there is a lesson of just there are bad people in the world, you'll have to deal with them, but don't let them control you, or be haunted by there memory. That's something I think means a lot.

I love this episode. I'm glad to call it my favorite.
