Season 2 Episode 12: Family Appreciation Day

Looks like Granny Smith is on the horizon! I don't know if I can call her best pony, but I'm sure the comedy will be great.  Old people are always funny.

Synopsis after the break!

Ultamia said...

Yay! More Applebloom!

Scale said...

Oh my. This time we are definitely gonna learn the truth about AJ's parents. Awesome!

Dashie said...

Looks like 2 weeks without new episodes ):

Ginger Snap said...

Another Apple Bloom episode??? okay.

matthewme said...

Class, Hmm? Derpy Hooves Cameo!

ftfc said...

where is pinkie pie/ fluttershy/ applejack episode?

MagnaDrake said...

Another Applebloom. I want my Scootaloo and/or Applejack episode.

herpyderpy said...

2 AB episodes and still no AJ, Pinkie or Fluttershy ;(

Drumfreak2421 said...

Granny Smith should have been voiced by Betty White. They remind me of each other.

Tokyo Oranges said...

well ya, 2 weeks is a lot but we get to learn about how Pinkie pie got her Cutie Mark first ;D So hopefully we'll get enough backstory and fic and art spawns to last us until the 7th first

On the other hand this looks like it's going to be an interesting episode in itself. Possible seeing of Mac AJ and Applebloom's parents as well is always a plus :D

Now back to finishing my Evangelion splurge to be followed up by more ponies! (Which I'll probably need 8D that and some caffine)

Masquerade said...

@Drumfreak2421

White's got her fingers in too many pies to be a voice actor.

Dark said...

January 7th...?

NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

TobiasKazama said...

Scootaloo! Y U NO EPISODE!?

But Apple Bloom is awesome too so I am okay with this.

Space King said...

Embarrassment? Applebloom's parents?
*gasp* THEY'RE NOT IN THE APPLE BUSINESS! Oh the horror!
*summons couch*

Yonasomun said...

Sounds interesting. This episode could give Granny Smith more character depth. And since it involves the school I’m sure Cheerilee and all of Appleblooms classmates will appear, too.

Apsuenbwyfer11 said...

oh for the love of... a granny smith episode, but still no applejack?

Drumfreak2421 said...

@Masquerade True... but the thought was there. All these years and she is as popular as ever. (I see what you did there.... pies... LOL.)

Killsteal_Wolf said...

Poor Applejack, now even your little sister has more episodes than you...

But hey, this episode could explain what happened to AJ and AB's parents.

Or it could be like The Simpsons episode "Raging Abe Simpson and His Grumbling Grandson in "The Curse of the Flying Hellfish"" and We all learn Granny Smith had an amazing job in the past that ties back into today. Who knows.

Phoenix Quill said...

wait... Thats a long time between episodes...
WHAT AM I GONNA DO?!!??

BMeshBrony said...

What the HELL?! When is AJ goin to get her episode?

Soapy5 said...

I would make my day if we get to see a young granny smith in a flashback.

Blue Ace said...

Ok, I'm interested in Granny Smith, but we already have another Applebloom episode, and we already have a family-promoting episode in Sisterhooves Social.

El_Darax said...

I really want a Fluttershy, Pinkie, or AJ ep...........

But I admit I'm interested in this one.

daddyboom said...

Hopefully we'll finally find out about the Apple parents

D'Artagnan Rossfeld said...

@ftfc
isn't this petty close to a applejack episode?

EonMaster said...

Wonder how much AJ this will have in it. Sisterhooves Social had a good bit of AJ screen time.

I'm mostly hoping for a Fluttershy episode, she hasnt done much in S2 except for the duet with Rainbow.

Dark said...

so I'm the only one who thinks AJ will have a really big role in this episode?

Rainbow Dash said...

This episode will have a lot of AJ in it regardless I'm sure, but that airdate... Guess I'll have to be patient. We AJ fans are used to waiting after all. Couldn't hurt to wait a little longer.

Wolf Nanaki said...

I PREDICT A YOUNG GRANNY SMITH FLASHBACK.

Harwick said...

Seriously, I need to know the deal with AJ's parents and where Apple Bloom came from. In "The Cutie Mark Chronicles" a young filly AJ leaves Granny Smith and a young Big Mac to go start a new life in Manehatten... No sign of any parents. After however long she spends there (long enough to pick up a cultured Manehatten accent) she comes back to the farm for good, again to Granny Smith and Big Mac. Still no sign of parents.

But here's the thing... Her little sister Apple Bloom hasn't been born yet. So either Apple Bloom isn't actually her sister or her parents (at least then) weren't dead... They're just not around, and nobody seems to expect them to come back any time soon, or at least AJ doesn't feel the need to wait for them to return before leaving her life on the farm behind.

So... What's the deal there?

Party Favors said...

...And now Apple Bloom has mire episodes thanher older sister. Where's my AJ?!

BornIn1142 said...

Not that I don't like Granny Smith, but do we really need another Apple Bloom episode when Applejack is in dire need of one herself? Or Scootaloo, for that matter.

This also sounds a bit like "Sweet and Elite," but I don't expect them to play out very similarly.

Riordian said...

Yeah seems pretty obvious that Apple Bloom will be ashamed of her granny and in the end she will tell pretty nice story and everybody in school will be excited that AB has such a wonderfull family or sth like that

Jimmy James said...

I seriously can't wait. Grammy Smith is definitely the funniest pony (aside from Pinkie Pie), so this should be hilarious!

Talzie said...

A lot of whiners in these comments. I for one am glad that the secondary characters are in the spotlight. It makes a nice change, in my opinion.

Sgt Byrd said...

The link at the top of the blog points to the comments box.

Leeky said...

An episode with some focus on Granny Smith? Huzzah!
On the other hand, poor AJ.

James said...

Old people are funny cause they crap themselves, smell bad, fall down a lot, ramble on about nothing, have turrets and are blatantly racist.

Dantes_Grill said...

sound intreststing but i bet it will just be an "old people are cool to" episode =P

Kujiiro said...

I can't believe how far we are into season 2 already. Time goes by so fast when you're having ponies.

Xeddrief said...

From what I can tell from the brief synopsis, its a 'bring your parent to school' day thing, and Applebloom has to bring Granny Smith instead; ergo we find out where the hell her and Scootaloo's parents are. More canon!

Xeddrief said...

And don't worry guys, there is still a further 14 episodes for AJ, Pinkie, Fluttershy and Scootaloo to shine.

Fuzzle said...

Aww yeah, crazy old pony shenanigans.

Yonasomun said...

I wouldn't count on that. "Family Appreciation Day" is probably the name of the whole event, which means you can bring along every family member and not just your parents. Obviously Granny Smith isn't Applebloom’s first choice so I hope there’s an explanation why she didn't pick AJ or Big Mac instead.
So I think we don't get any new information regarding AJ's parents. However, I didn’t expect to see Rarity’s parents in "Sisterhoove Social" so they writers may surprise me again and we’re going to see her parents.

twebb001 said...

I think everyone is impatient to see more pinkie pie or twilight or AJ, but this season seems to be the season of character rounding, we get to see our favorites at their best and worst, twilight is still due an awesome episode since ep 3 was basically her cracking. AJ... well she cracked back in ep 4 but was solidly awesome in just about every ep thereafter... I still want to see more of pinkie's past, I mean I love Pinkamina fics but I would like a little canon to see how the dots actually connected from barn party to party cannon. oddly enough I think Pinkie is the most mysterous of the group in terms of how the fuck she got from where she was to where she is.

Mojo said...

I feel bad for AJ.

o and Scootaloo too, she kinda needs an episode.

814ckd347h said...

@TheIdlingRev
Hurray for background on BACKGROUND characters!!

Ulrik said...

Yay!

Another Applejack famly episode.

Deyna said...

People are complaining a bit much in here. I understand where you're coming from (I'd like some more AJ and Fluttershy too), but there's nothing to say this episode will be bad. We'll have 14 more eps left in the season, so it's not even really the halfway point. There's plenty of time to get more of your favorites.

Sourcils said...

Tokyo Oranges said...

I just thought of something... If everypony in AB's class is bringing in a family member.... Maybwe we'll see something Of scoot's parents or other family like ponies (I'd lol if she brought rainbow in claiming she was her cousin or something 8D)

Sourcils said...

About time they used Granny for something else than cheap "old people are funny" jokes. She raised three kids, and deserves some respect. And, hey, maybe we'll finally learn what's up with AJ's parents?

Battra said...

More Apple Bloom and Family, when's Scootaloo gonna get some love.

Octavia said...

I dunno about old people "always" being funny... but our Granny Smith is more funny than most senior citizens. :) This should be interesting. I wonder what she's supposed to be speaking about...

Also, I guess people are kinda upset there haven't been more episodes centered around some of the other mane characters lately. But there's still many to go. I'm sure there will be some along the line. Just cool your jets and enjoy what there is.

pivotmaniac10 said...

We still have yet to have a Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, and Applejack episode.
inb4 "Forever Episodeless" ponies.

CrossoverManiac said...

They're doing Granny Smith/Applebloom centric episodes now?!? Let's ignore Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and Applejack (who will just be around in this episode long enough to admonish Applebloom for being embarrassed by Granny Smith) for another Applebloom episode. Would it kill them to an episode on them before having another Applebloom-centric episode.

Jmaster said...

What's with the CMC focus this season? And on that, why is Scootaloo the comic relief for the CMC? Come on, mane cast or some scoots love please! Ah well, that's all I've got for this /rant.

Pete Dash said...

i dont really like granny smith...

...no AJ/Pinkie Pie/Fluttershy episode yet.....but thats Applebloom 2nd? And Scoots?...

My fav episode is from the 2nd season , but so far , 1st season is better

Rainbow Smashly said...

I dont really care for granny. But I really like her mane! (in the pic)

Alexander Gan Zhong Ping said...

This reminds me of a certain fanfic. I think it's Apples. Yeah.

SoGGy said...

12 episodes and still no AJ or PP episode.
No love for the Applejack.

Nathaniel said...

This season is still awesome, and I'm happy that the secondary characters are getting more attention this season. Applejack is my favorite, and I'd love to see her in a centric episode, but I think I'll just be patient and be happy with watching ponies :3

P.S. Yay Apple Bloom and Granny Smith!

Ford said...

I like it. Age/youth theme AND one of the ponies in focus is voiced by Tabitha St. Germain, who I am led to believe is one of their finest VAs.

Arnetheus said...

Would be best if Dinky was up with Derpy in this episode. :) Then we will really know that they care about us. Not that they didnt show it all ready of course!

zorinlynx said...

WHOOHOOOOOO!!

NEW EPISODE AT BRONYCON!!! I'm sure everyone going and Purple Tinker will be highly pleased. Watching a new episode with 300 fellow fans is an experience that CANNOT be beat.

Thanks for making that weekend even MORE awesome now, Hub!

WizardWannabe said...

@Harwick To be honest, it would not surprise me if they just didn't have time to design, make and animate two parents, it has been stated that the studio's schedules are very tight. The Apple parents lack of existance is probably more down to physical real world constraints than any in-universe reason not yet devised (or devised as of when this ep was written).
And I doubt that they planned for them not to be there, only to reveal it now with this episode (and no way are their parents dead, or anything similarly tragic), I don't think they think that far ahead (eg. Luna).
I'm expecting that they were just on some apple related journey somewhere, possibly setting up farms, similar to Appleloosa.

Flutterfan said...

I'm very dissaponinted. Granny Smith just doesn't bring very much to the table, she's just a caricature of old people.

But most importantly Pinkie and Fluttershy have been sorely missed this season. It's way overdue one of them gets an episode.

Mr.Brony said...

Yeah Granny Smith can be funny, but COME ON!!! We need a Pinkie Pie Episode!!!!

Starbrite said...

THis is gonna be like the episode where you don't want your parent to tell your class about their embarrassing job,
or where you don't want your grandparents to tell your class about how your family didn't do anything cool.
BUt then it turns out your family member is actually really awesome and you learn a lesson.

Hasee500 said...

This episode is either going to make or break my head-canon.

Eeveexpert said...

So far, Season 2 has greatly exceeded my expectations on every level, Luna's return being the biggest one (top notch work, FiM Team). While I do like the focus on characters outside of the mane 6, I can only hope that the postponing of the Fluttershy and AJ episodes means that they will absolutely blow my socks off.

Regardless, the team has my unwavering support for the rest of this season, and I trust that they'll amaze me with this episode too.

BronyBraeburn said...

YES!!! Another episode to be shown at Bronycon! SO AWESOME!!

juanrock said...

season 2, i find your lack of fluttershy disturbing.

Katsu Aoki said...

Stephen Fry should be somepony else's Grandfather!

Krudge said...

January 7th? That means another 2-week pony drought. Oh well.

Also MOAR PINKIE, MOAR FLUTTERSHY PLZ.

Krudge said...

@Katsu Aoki

AGREED. Stephen Fry should be in everything.

ponydoraprancypants said...

I hope Tabitha St. Germain is getting overtime. She's had more speaking lines than anybody this season, seems to me, between Rarity, Granny Smith and Luna.

SpiritBoy said...

I miss Pinkie and Flutter.
It will probably still be an amusing an episode though

ShockSlayer said...

bawwww they aren't doing exactly what you want them too.

ponydoraprancypants said...

@WizardWannabe

Hmm, I'm pretty sure they're dead. No more. In a better place. Passed on. Bereft of life. Demised. Shuffled off their mortal coil. Pushing up daisies. Joined the choir invisible. Not that the show will meditate on that fact.

Vermillion Twilight said...

We all know Granny Smith takes in orphaned young 'uns over the years and raises them as her own grandkids, with the exception of Applebloom. You see Applejack and Big Mac actually aren't related by blood, and are in fact the parents of Applebloom. I'm hoping to see this episode tackle that issue with some heart and warmth.

Harwick said...

@WizardWannabe

Oh, I have no doubt that this is indeed the practical reason their parents don't show up in that episode. But most fans do think that Ma and Pa Apple are deceased, even if the show will never say so, and that episode and the existence of Applebloom shows that there are good reasons to doubt it.

As for where they were, at that time they would have been the only ones old and healthy enough to work the farm. They might have just been working the orchards.

Michos said...

Tell me, there is going to be 2 week break after the next episode, or those two episodes were simply not announced yet?

leictreon said...

2 weeks without poni?

Oh god NO! D:

OneRanAway said...

I thought there was a huge break! THANK CELESTIA IT'S ONLY TWO WEEKS!

Coolblue said...

Aw, I thought this was gonna be a Rainbow Dash episode...

Private said...

More Apple Family episodes anyone?

Deece said...

I like the premise of this upcoming episode; I look foward to it!

Smashmatt202 said...

Finally, a new episode summary! Apple Bloom embarrassed by Granny Smith? What about Sweetie Belle's parents, they seem more likely to be embarrassing! I wonder if this means we'll also see Scootaloo's parents...

Either way, it's nice to see Granny Smith getting her own episode.

RemnantZX said...

This should be good. Granny Smith is certainly gonna have a pretty interesting story, given the premise of the episode.

NoRelationstoJFK said...

I imagine that we're not getting the next episode for so long because of the holiday episode next week, which they will be repeating for the Christmas season.

Just a theory.

Oh and I can imagine even though its another Applebloom episode, that perhaps it will reveal a bit about Scootaloo too with the family member she brings in. They'll probably forget about her, though.

DPV111 said...

This is gonna be gooooooooood.

Frenchi said...

Watch Granny Smith turn out to be some mega badass war spy or some shit.

palatank said...

Can see it now. . .
"dinky who did you bring?"
*derpy pops out of school bag*
que mass skweee noise

ZeroG said...

it was...interesting, is the Hub always gonna lead off adverts like this with Pinkie Pie?

Man her voice singer will NEVER be out of work

4d4f5c2a-0f40-11e1-b2f5-000bcdcb8a73 said...

Hopefully lots of Apple family stories.

Rept7 said...

Just watch as it turns out that Granny Smith is secretly awesome

Tylendal said...

Maybe this is Granny Smith's awesome moment that Jayson Theisson mentioned.

ultra8 said...

This should be fun, we'll probably finally solve the mysteries of AJ,Mac & AB's parents and Scoots family as well.

anname219 said...

hmm...It seems this will air two weeks after Heart's Warming Eve. I'm not surprised.They did the same thing for Luna Eclipsed.They are both holiday episodes so yes.

The Commander said...

Y'all need to calm, down.

We are only HALFWAY done with the season.

We will most assuredly get Fluttershy, AJ, and Pinkie Pie episodes later in the season!

Quezacotl said...

I really want a developmental episode for AJ. It would be neat if the BM/AJ/AB's parents were cleared up as well as Scootaloo's.

These Applebloom episodes are really starting to grow on me. I'm looking forward to this :D.

InstantDeath said...

I thought Granny Smith was hilarious in her part in the Sisterhooves Social, so I'm fairly excited for this episode.

Vulcan539 said...

I hope we get answers about Scootaloo

Sugar Cube said...

Even though this not specifically an Applejack episode, it's stil lan Apple Bloom episode, and an episode featuring the apple family. That means there will likely be plenty of AJ anyway.

I for one am happy. I love Apple Bloom to bits. I still wish Scootaloo would get an episode however.

The fun has been DOUBLED said...

So we get another background pony episode, but we haven't as of yet gotten a Fluttershy season 2 episode? I'm not complaining, but I just wish that she'd get a little more attention :(

Something To Quack About said...

People bitching about what the episode isn't rather than being excited for what it is, and not caring that we still have 14 more episodes to go, but OF COURSE IT WON'T FUCKING BE ENOUGH, WILL IT?

What a bunch of spoiled little fucks you are. Whiny. What the hell is wrong with you people?

Something To Quack About said...

@The fun has been DOUBLED

Yo're ABSOLUTELY complaining! Wahhh baby doesn't get his Fluttershy, wahhhh! Wahhh it's about a pony I don't care about wahhhhh! Booooooooooooooooo hoooooooooooooooooooo liiiiiiiiiiiittle baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! Cryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

SketchyDee said...

I hope they actually do some flashback scenes while she tells her stories. Would love to see how Young G. Smith really looks like ^^.

UKBRONYLEADER said...

i think this is mainly gonna be about granny smith rather than applebloom

deltart said...

@Something To Quack About

Stop being such a dick. I mean, are you serious right now? If this fandom is about one thing, it's about not treating people like shit. Holy hell, grow up. People complaining are being reasonable, and you are acting really immature. This isn't youtube, grow up.

J. M. Chapde said...

I am expecting to be wrong, but since "Secret to my Excess" dealt briefly with the idea of death (Spike and Rarity free-falling to earth, them preparing to meet their fate), there may be a chance that the Apple Parents could be dead, further explored in the upcoming episode.

Death is a reality for all families. I lost my father to lung cancer when I was 4 and learned at that young age what mortality was. Also, I am not the only one to lose a parent. Some children have lost both.

If a kids show had the maturity, the competence and the grapes to handle familial death, MLP would be our best contender. That is my honest opinion.

megantron said...

Apple Bloom is best pony so I have no problem with this. Plus, I love old people. I don't really want Scootaloo to have an episode because it's so much funnier when she's FOREVER ALONE.

oneeyemug said...

This seems like an opportunity to develop Granny Smith as a character so that she is more than comic relief. Can't wait to see what the team will do with her.

airmangamer said...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARXfQzfl9EQ Anyone else expecting something to this degree happening in this episode?

airmangamer said...

Sai said...

A thought has occurred, the title is family appreciation yeah, well what if we get to see more of sweetie, or dare i say it, Scootaloo parents! hell i even settle for a mean aunt at this point

kyokitsune said...

so how much longer till the Scootaloo episode

JessicaPopcorn said...

what i love in the apple family is that they are all girls and the only male is big mac xD hopefully we can find out who AJ's parents are

yoshipwns13 said...

Yay for more history information!

Rafasde said...

@The fun has been DOUBLED
We didn't have an AJ episode, too. Also, not even a Pinkie one.

Flutterfan said...

I'm kinda sick of Applebloom to be honest. I'm not even one of the people who hate the CMC, I just think AB is way too whiny and the least interesting of the CMC.

MasterContinuum said...

her parents are treasure hunters like on Hey Arnold.

Alondro said...

@Tokyo Oranges

Evangelion splurg? Why not combine the two?

"Equinegelion" Twilight as Shinji, Celestia as Commander Ikari, Fluttershy as Rei, Rainbow Dash as Asuka. IT WORKS!! XD

kaynyen said...

Maybe Scootaloo will have somepony to speak for her in class

SuperGiantRobot said...

Hey, screw you guy; I love Granny Smith. She's something like a billion years old and she's still ticking

Bronyoff said...

While I do love the AB i gotta say i know soooooo little about the scoots that id love to learn more

Adrienne said...

@J. M. Chapde

Your comment reminds me of the episode of Sesame Street that dealt with Mr. Hooper's death. A lot of people love that ep, but a lot of parents complained about a kids show dealing with the subject.

But I'm like, "why not?" You had shows in the 80's like G.I. Joe with all this shooting and nobody dies or even gets seriously hurt. Personally I think that's more disconcerting a lesson to teach kids (that violence has no consequences, and death doesn't exist), than to accept the reality of death and as the song goes "how fragile we are", and all that.

Scat495 said...

Lol they should get Betty White to voice her

Brony4Life said...

+ 1 to Scat495.... Anyway it's not like we need a Pinkie Pie episode or anything this season...

Brony4Life said...

@Brony4Life

(Massive sarcasm quotes above) because we totally do!

Xel Unknown said...

This means, we'll see Scoots folks now???

Sdash said...

I see this as a big chance to get more bg ponies in the scene...

Now I'm in debate if this 2 week no pony will be good or bad for a new ep.

Stallord969409 said...

I really hope this episode would take the show to the next level like what J.M. Chapde and Adrienne said. I think it would be interesting and I could totally see this show doing that. Should not get my hopes up though.

ColtintheMoon said...

Same gap as last year I think. Not too long. You guys survived it back then.

ColtintheMoon said...

Granny Smith helped in the underground railroad... thus she is secretly awesome

Alenius said...

As much as I love Granny Smith I didn't feel like having an other episode centered around anything but the mane six right now.

Sukebei said...

@Xel Unknown
Nnnope. Scoot doesn't go to school. It's a school thing.

J. M. Chapde said...

@Adrienne

I am in total agreement here. Parents should have a say when educating their children about mortality, but I firmly believe that FiM has what it takes to handle the discussion. Part of friendship and love is the ability to deal with these losses.

Will it be controversial? Yes. Will it provoke thought, even among the automatic and thoughtless? Absolutely.
Will Fox 'News' run a story on it and spiral unsurprisingly in the wrong direction causing millions of facehooves? 42.

It's a topic worth exploring, I feel.

FelisVulpes said...

Wait, does this mean there are only 2 more episodes left in season 2? Hearth's Warming Eve and Family Appreciation Day?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_My_Little_Pony:_Friendship_Is_Magic_episodes

or will more be announced?

pg13fresno said...

@FelisVulpes

Season 2 is 26 episodes long. That was confirmed months ago, before the first season had even finished airing.

We only get info on new episodes a few weeks before they air, and there is another two-week gap between episodes 11 and 12. As such, we are just getting info on the rest of the season now.

As for the episode itself, I'm interested to see where they go with this. I just hope they don't chicken out and not mention the parents at all.

If they are dead, then that can add a little bit of dramatic undertone to the episode.

If they aren't, then we might get more of an idea how the Apple family functions.

In any case, looking forward to another year of pony.

WhitFox said...

I like the idea of another Apple Bloom episode, in that her sheer determination to get what she wants is a great comedy trait. Look at her first cutie mark episode. Anything that good, and I'll be delighted.

I'm a little nervous about Apple Bloom in this particular episode, because it's hard to see why she'd be ashamed of Granny Smith. Really don't like the idea of wedging ponies into square holes just to make an arbitrary moral work.

As a Scootaloo episode, this could have been incredibly cool. I'll join the others in hoping we at least get a glimpse of Scoot's family here.

Really can't imagine explicitly getting into dead parents in MLP. This show doesn't need to use things that dark to get its emotional moments. That's one reason it's so special.

jayessell said...

Maybe we'll see how a foal got named "Granny".

Vulcan539 said...

this has to be said with the upcoming family episode and we know that CMC, Snips & Snails, Dinky Doo shear the same classes. Will we see there parents?

Billy Neighs said...

I must know what Snails's family looks like.

Unknown said...

Hey! HEY! Lauren Faust! I know you read our stuff! Can you PLEASE put in A Ditzy Doo episode? Cause if your not planning on it, we will all be angry bronies of vengeful derpy wrath.... Serously, weres our Ditzy episode? All people agree so she sees this for dang sure!

Tundra said...

@Unknown
You do realize she's not on the team anymore, right?

Flizzick said...

I like to think the Apple parents are on an apple-related world tour, selling and sampling apples from around Equestria and any other developed countries.

Jecht said...

Here's hoping for some other family reveals. I want to see Scootaloo's parents.

TrombeGourmet said...

Tabitha St. Germain has certainly been working overtime this season, hahaha.

ElementalHero said...

There will definitely be fics about scootaloo being homeless if her parents doesn't show up... that will make me sad.

Half a season and half the mane six still MIA?

Clearly they're saving the best until last!

KShrike said...

if you guys fan rage becuase they don't have derpy speaking, I'm going to lose faith in you.

Deft Leopard said...

I heard there's this episode coming out called "Putting Your Hoof Down." I got a feeling it's gonna be about Fluttershy and her tendency of being an extreme doormat.

TerraH said...

C'moooooon no family for Scootaloo!

I dunno why, but abandoned Scootaloo is SO funny!

I'm mean, I know...

Gamerlord said...

Scootaloo: Hey Applebloom, what are your parents getting you for Hearth's Warming E-
Applebloom: MY PARENTS ARE DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAD!!

Pone-3 said...

awww...poor scootaloo. no family to appreciate..... (insert diamond tiara and silver spoon laughter)

TuxRug said...

@TerraH Your avatar does not fit your wisdom.

Axquirix said...

So basically "And Apple Accessories" with Granny Smith instead of Applejack?

... This is gonna be good.

Watch this; AJ's parents show up speaking like Rarity's mom and dad and tell her to stop using that ridiculous cowpony accent. Also, watch Derpy be Scootaloo's mother just so they can mess with our heads.

Granny smith episode or applebloom episode.....

What would mess with my head is if Spitfire was scoots mom.
no it wouldnt really as thats my head cannon

@TDR That's... awesome. Though, it would be confusing as to why Spitfire referenced the young fliers competition in the gala rather than say her daughter is a fan, which still would have fit without us knowing scoots was her daughter. Still, awesome.

I'm wondering if this is going to be a more serious disappearance or more like a "lol let's go look for Applejack" kind of thing. Either way, I'm looking forward to this episode most of the next three.
