The end of Testing, Testing, 1 2 3 [is that really a spoiler?]

[Forlong 1,726]

 

It seems they paid attention to some of the complaints regarding Wonderbolt's Academy.  One problem with that episode was that the finished product didn't make it clear how much closer Rainbow Dash was to becoming a Wonderbolt (the scene in question had to be cut for other reasons).  In this episode, they make it perfectly clear where Rainbow stands with the team.

 

Rainbow Dash is now in the Wonderbolts reserves.  So next time Soarin' jacks up his wing, Rainbow will be able to fly with the team.  This also means that, in the event that a member of the main team is discharged or has more in common with AJ's parents then they'd like, Rainbow Dash will be considered for promotion.  Since she's easily the best flier in reserves and scored 100% on the test, her chances of becoming a regular member are not a question of "if" but "when".

 

I hope it's Fleetfoot that gets kicked of the team.  And that Big Mac breaks her heart.  Yeah, I don't like Fleetfoot.
