The cold open is fantastic. Love the very start of it, and of course Starlight being adorable is never a bad thing. It also wouldn't be a Starlight focused episode without at least one nervous chuckle. Trixie is being particularly overly herself in this. As usual, Spoiled Rich has forgotten the lesson she learned in the earlier episodes. The others definitely seem competent... except for Trixie and Spoiled Rich. The other three choices were interesting in their own ways. Good seeing the guardians and parents again as well. The return the Octavia/Vinyl Scratch duet from Slice of Life was a fun little interlude, along with the facial expressions of Gallus. Trixie louces everything up as usual. The facial expressions are amazing as usual. Starlight is being a bit mean spirited to Trixie, but that was needed. Twilight is amazing as usual. Sunburst being thrown into the role of Vice Headstallion was a great choice in the end. Overall, a very good episode that features one of the better pairings in the series.

Grade: A-
