An episode about not jumping to conclusions

[heavens-champion 1,907]

You might say they did something like this in A Canterlot Wedding and Rarity Investigates, but what if they make an episode where the lesson is "don't jump to conclusions"? Like say Rainbow Dash gets framed by a shapeshifter who pulls pranks disguised as her, and almost everyone in Ponyville blames her for doing them even though she didn't (she was at Wonderbolt Academy at the time, she was at home the entire time, etc.) and while she attempts to clear her name, her friends investigate and try to find out who really did it.

Isn't that half the moral of The episode with troubleshoes?

You realize this actually involves Rainbow Dash getting framed by a shapeshifter, right?

I mean, this fandom does do that a lot, especially with S7

This sounds way too similar to Rarity Investigates

This kinda sounds a lot like itger things that have already been done in the show before.

They also covered this in episodes like Party of One and MMMystery on the Friendship Express.

Only the excuse that she was at home would work, or something similar. If she's at someplace that has other ponies like the Wonderbolts Academy, then she's already cleared any doubt and now it's just finding out who was going around disguised as Dash without Dash's innocence being on the line anymore.

That's not really jumping to conclusions, especially if she was just at home the entire time and therefore doesn't have any evidence to back her up.  It's fairly reasonable to blame the person you see pulling the pranks. 

 

Also, isn't the whole "let's not jump to conclusions" the morale to a tone of episodes. Like, the one with Troubleshoes and the one with Zecora.

Wow, it's like nobody hates 28 pranks later and thinks the ponies should learn lesson.
