I guess this episode is like a better “Sweet and Smoky”. At least it wasn’t revealed that Cabbelaron was a poor misunderstood creature under the guise of a villain.
 
That somewhat happens in the end, but it at least makes sense in universe.

I was surprised and a little concerned that GM Berrow wasn’t the one to be wrapping up Daring Do’s story, but I think it was handled well. The truth amulet made for an amusing twist that forced the characters to do some self-reflection.
 
Ahuizotl leaving his jungle basin to do book readings mmay have been a bit of a stretch though.
 
Oh and as a fantasy fan, the gargoyls were pretty sweet to see.

Wait, you’re telling me that Daring Do has been the villain all along, and Ahuizotl is the good guy? Well, gee, that’s a nice way to end Daring Do’s legacy, isn’t it? (sigh)
 
That revelation alone makes me want to hate this episode, even though it was pretty good overall.
 
Twilight didn’t appear. Shocking. But what’s even more shocking is that this episode has officially put Fluttershy in the sole position for second place for appearances this season, as she has only five absences. Suffice to say, this is completely unprecedented for her, as she has almost always been in dead last place every season.

You know, this is the first season without map missions since they were first introduced in season 5. I still think it’s a shame that we didn’t get more parings.
