Friendship Report: Applejack learned that honesty can be hard when it seems like it will hurt someone you care about, but believing a lie can hurt them even more. Also, Granny Smith learned that believing in something can make you do amazing things, but if it's based on a lie, it can lead to trouble.
This marks the return of the Flim Flam Brothers since "The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000".
This is the third time Applejack is the only main character present after "Family Appreciation Day" and "Somepony to Watch Over Me".
