S07:E04 - Rock Solid Friendship

This episode is meh. Maud and Starlight had a pretty good chemistry together, Maud's home looks nice, and it's great to see Lyra again, but Pinkie Pie's pushiness bogs down the episode for me.

It's understandable how someone would try very hard to convince someone they love, especially a close family member, to live closer to them. This episode shows that while love can be suffocating sometimes, it also allows us to improve, but only if we make the choice.

I enjoyed that this episode wasn't driven by a lack of proper communication but by someone's overeager or drastic well-meaning actions, like in Bird in the Hoof. I chose Bird in the Hoof as an example because

Spoiler

it was extreme for Fluttershy to steal someone's sick pet in order to secretly nurse it back to health because she didn't want the owner, who is the ruler of the land in this instance, to feel like she doubted their ability to care for their pet.
