I liked the episode, but its another situation where the ponies pretty much screwed up someone's life in the interest of solving a perceived friendship problem. Most notably how AJ singlehandedly ruined RaRa's Countess image and brand in an earlier episode. Same here pretty much. In this episode, Rarity nearly ruined these poor ponies livelihood by injecting her own opinion into the situation. Also, who paid for TWO total renovations to this restaurant? Not Rarity. Pinkie just tossed perfectly good and probably expensive decor in the dumpster. I get what it is trying to illustrate, but it totally irks me. This is one reason why I hate the cutie mark map. Also a reason why I don't like the ponies being friendship warriors/superheroes in general. I prefer episodes where the ponies solve their OWN problems, then they're not affecting the livelihood of others. This ended up being a lesson for Rarity, nobody else. Which that's fine, even preferred for me but I don't like that they had to nearly destroy the dreams of other ponies for Rarity to learn something. But that's just me.
