- This is one of the first and few times a fan-named character (Lyra in this case)'s name is mentioned and her fan personalty is hinted to be true, as one of the Pinkie clones mentioned her and states she taught her how to warren fingers,blowing on hooves (Or at least a specific spot that is) creates them temporarily. Likely referencing most fans imagine her being a human expert.
- The Pinkie Clone only said "Look what I can do with my hooves!", and on the transcription article, not a single "Lyra", "Heartstrings" can be found. But it's still most likely a reference to the fandom's human fanatic Lyra. Also, on the Lyra Heartstrings article, it's also stated that "Her name is not mentioned on the show".

- This is the second episode where blood is shown, when Rarity pricks her hoof while sewing for Trixie.

- When Applejack, Rarity, Big Macintosh (dressed as Applejack), Granny Smith (also Applejack), and baby Applejack and Rarity are doing a magic trick near the end of the episode, baby Applejack and baby Rarity might be Pound and Pumpkin Cake. If this is true, Pumpkin Cake does not appear without her brother. Also, for an unknown reason, Granny Smith should've been painted to look like Rarity.

Filli Vanilli
- SPOILER ALERT! According to The Hub, this episode will feature the second appearance of Flutterguy. - Jasonbres (talk) 02:06, February 15, 2014 (UTC)
- This is the first time where Flutterguy sings (via lip-syncing for a member of The Ponytones who lost his voice during a turkey call competition). Prince Silversaddle (talk) 14:21, March 19, 2014 (UTC)
- Second. How dare you forget Flutterguy sang the Evil Enchantress song! :) - Jasonbres (talk) 14:24, March 19, 2014 (UTC)
- First time in the series where all three members of the Cutie Mark Crusaders are seen together in three consecutive episodes in a row in a single season ("Pinkie Pride", "Simple Ways", and this episode). Prince Silversaddle (talk) 17:26, March 24, 2014 (UTC)

- The first episode Lotus Blossom appeared since Ponyville Confidential, and first episode Aloe appeared since A Friend in Deed. --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 16:17, February 15, 2014 (UTC)
- Interesting, this could be the most voice actors for a single pony in a single episode. Fluttershy's speaking and singing voice is, as usual, Andrea Libman. During Zecora's poison joke explanation, the flashback to Bridle Gossip hears Flutterguy's original voice actor, Blu Mankuma. Filli Vanilli credits Alvin Sanders for the speaking voice of Flutterguy and Marcus Mosely for the singing voice. That's Libman, Mankuma, Sanders, and Mosely for Fluttershy/guy in Filli Vanilli!-- Heeeeyyyy, everybody! It's Meester Tweester! 16:44, February 23, 2014 (UTC)
- Even not counting Mankuma in the flashback, she still has the most voice actors. Oh what beauty of a rose, to grace the eyes and charm the nose...~~SEGASister 16:48, March 29, 2014 (UTC)

- Would most likely be a Fluttershy episode, as she's stated in Three's a Crowd that she's been invited to see them. --Oh what beauty of a rose, to grace the eyes and charm the nose...~~SEGASister 15:33, January 25, 2014 (UTC)

- Does it have to be EVERY episode that someone has to add to my speculation or correct me? XD --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 06:12, March 9, 2014 (UTC)
- I wasn't trying to correct you. I simply added my speculation under yours because the points are related to one another. It wasn't meant as a personal response, just a way of organizing info for people reading the page. I'll stop doing it that way. - Raymondluxuryacht (talk) 05:17, March 11, 2014 (UTC)

- First time that a Pie family member, besides Pinkie Pie, has their name in an episode title (even though her first appearance was in a portrait as a filly in "Pinkie Pride" and not in Pinkie's flashback in "The Cutie Mark Chronicles"). Prince Silversaddle (talk) 23:20, March 22, 2014 (UTC)
- First episode that Maud Pie appears as a supportive character, and the second episode she appears, first being her portrait cameo in Pinkie Pride. --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 16:53, February 15, 2014 (UTC)
- What about the cutie mark chronicals? She appeared then, didn't she? —Preceding unsigned comment added by FlutterRose (talk • contribs)

- First time in the series to have three sister-themed episodes in a row and in a single season (Applejack and Apple Bloom in "Somepony to Watch Over Me", Pinkie and her older sister in "Maud Pie", and this episode with Rarity and Sweetie Belle). Prince Silversaddle (talk) 20:32, March 22, 2014 (UTC)
- The longest episode title in the series that consists of only words and the first to have six words in an episode title ("The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000" doesn't count cause that episode has five words and a number). Prince Silversaddle (talk) 03:02, March 21, 2014 (UTC)
- First time where all three members of the Cutie Mark Crusaders each get their own episode in a single season (Scootaloo in "Flight to the Finish", Apple Bloom in "Somepony to Watch Over Me", and Sweetie Belle in this episode). Prince Silversaddle (talk) 16:31, March 20, 2014 (UTC)
- Come to think of it, "Twilight Time" seemed pretty centered on Sweetie. - Jasonbres (talk) 17:15, March 20, 2014 (UTC)
- I forgot to add to my original statement that its also the first time to, not only have an episode dedicated to each member of the CMC; but also have an episode dedicated to all three of them ("Twilight Time"). Prince Silversaddle (talk) 21:41, March 22, 2014 (UTC)

Prince Silversaddle (talk) 06:06, March 23, 2014 (UTC)
- Second time Sweetie uses magic after Twilight Time. (One Bad Apple does not count since only sparks flew out of her horn unintentionally.) - Jasonbres (talk) 02:26, March 23, 2014 (UTC)
- Fourth time the phrase "wide, wide world of Equestria", or a variant thereof, is spoken, after Twilight in Feeling Pinkie Keen, Twilight again in Too Many Pinkie Pies, and Rarity in Keep Calm and Flutter On. 15:16, March 23, 2014 (UTC)

- In fact, it's the first key episode where any of the Mane Six is absent. - Raymondluxuryacht (talk) 18:30, March 30, 2014 (UTC)
- Confusing statement is confusing. This is the first key episode where only one of the Mane Six (Applejack) appears with none of the other mane cast (Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Twilight Sparkle) making an appearance. Prince Silversaddle (talk) 17:45, April 4, 2014 (UTC)
- What's confusing about it? I was just pointing out that all of the previous key episodes featured the entire group. - Raymondluxuryacht (talk) 19:12, April 5, 2014 (UTC)

- Third episode
in the series since "Luna Eclipsed"where Twilight Sparkle writes a friendship lesson/journal entry.("Three's A Crowd" doesn't count cause Spike was writing the lesson, not Twilight).Previous episodes were "Look Before You Sleep" and "Stare Master". Prince Silversaddle (talk) 21:08, April 6, 2014 (UTC)- Twilight didn't write the friendship lesson in Luna Eclipsed either; Spike did. 21:26, April 6, 2014 (UTC)

- I count two others: "Lesson Zero" and "The Return of Harmony Part 1". - Raymondluxuryacht (talk) 02:25, April 9, 2014 (UTC)
- Then this would actually be the fourth episode overall. Previous ones were the two you just mentioned ("The Return of Harmony - Part 1" and "Lesson Zero") and the third was the one Raymond Luxury Yacht mentioned ("Just for Sidekicks"). Prince Silversaddle (talk) 03:49, April 9, 2014 (UTC)
- Actually fifth. You forgot Ponyville Confidential. - Jasonbres (talk) 18:23, April 12, 2014 (UTC)

Trade Ya!
- First time that the nonstandard spelling of a word ("you") is used in an episode title. Prince Silversaddle (talk) 21:26, March 18, 2014 (UTC)
- Actually, the second time. "Ain’t" is also a nonstandard spelling of "isn't". Gulomi Jomesh (talk) 19:06, March 21, 2014 (UTC)
- I stand corrected by my original statement cause "Ain't" is not a nonstandard spelling of "isn't", it is a contraction of "isn't". Prince Silversaddle (talk) 20:03, March 21, 2014 (UTC)

- This is their first episode together with extended interaction. They spent the majority of "A Dog and Pony Show" separated from one another, and Rarity's role in "Secret of My Excess", while important, didn't take up a particularly large portion of the episode. - Raymondluxuryacht (talk) 19:40, April 26, 2014 (UTC)

- First appearance of Shining Armor since "Magical Mystery Cure", and his first appearance where he doesn't interact with Twilight or Cadance. - Raymondluxuryacht (talk) 20:02, May 3, 2014 (UTC)

FifthSeventh appearance of Discord after the season two premiere, "Keep Calm and Flutter On", the two-part season four premiere, and "Three's A Crowd". Prince Silversaddle (talk) 13:20, April 5, 2014 (UTC)- Why are you counting two-parters as single appearances? If a character appears in one part of a two-parter but not the other, is that half an appearance? (:P) 05:19, April 6, 2014 (UTC)
- Fixed. Prince Silversaddle (talk) 06:03, April 6, 2014 (UTC)

- These episodes seem pretty similar to those of Princess Twilight Parts 1 and 2 because it involves the Man ne 6 and Spike attempting to save the day, the royal pony sisters get in trouble, the old castle appears, the chest of harmony plays a major part, and Discord gets in the way.

- First time all 4 Princesses (Celestia, Luna, Cadance, and Twilight Sparkle) make an appearance in a two-part season finale. Second if counting the "My Little Pony Equestria Girls" movie. {"Magical Mystery Cure" doesn't count cause that episode was the first part of a three-part story with the two-part season four premiere serving as Part 2 and 3 respectively.} Prince Silversaddle (talk) 13:20, April 5, 2014 (UTC)

- Well, from what I've learned, we have to hunt for a canon source, then we get to decide if we can't find anything. Or we choose something boringly generic, i.e. Twilight's Castle. -- Heeeeyyyy, everybody! It's Meester Tweester! 09:36, May 11, 2014 (UTC)

- We do not know if it's a reference to Rainbow Dash, for example, Rainbow Falls isn't either, in a world full of rainbows, it's a pretty generic word to use.--Timesgift (talk) 22:21, April 10, 2014 (UTC)

- Wait, I think you got it backwards. Yes, this is Trixie's fourth appearance, but then you said third, counting the first movie. Do you mean third NOT counting the last movie? --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 05:31, July 26, 2014 (UTC)
- This is Trixie's fourth appearance (two appearances in the show, an appearance in the "Equestria Girls" movie, and another appearance in this film). Prince Goldstreak (talk) 18:56, July 28, 2014 (UTC)

- First Equestria Girls movie that Granny Smith speaks. --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 03:12, June 27, 2014 (UTC)
- Well, so far, she's only spoken in the shorts. That does not guarantee she also has a speaking role in the film - Jasonbres (talk) 03:19, June 27, 2014 (UTC)
- Shorts or movie, it doesn't really matter. Unless there's a separate section for the shorts, it all will go here. --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 03:29, June 27, 2014 (UTC)

Miscellaneous
- Not counting the songs from the two-part season three premiere, the Cutie Mark Crusaders starts with a song in two consecutive seasons back-to-back ("Babs Seed" in season three and "Hearts Strong as Horses" in season four). Prince Goldstreak (talk) 16:38, July 30, 2014 (UTC)
- "Trade Ya" is the only episode to have its premiere date along with the season and its episode number exactly alike (it is season four's nineteenth episode, in production order according to Zap2it, that has its premiere date being on the nineteenth day of the fourth month). Prince Silversaddle (talk) 07:44, March 21, 2014 (UTC)
In actuality, while Trade Ya is still airing on April 19th, the nineteenth episode of the season is For Whom the Sweetie Belle Toils. Oh what beauty of a rose, to grace the eyes and charm the nose...~~SEGASister 17:17, March 29, 2014 (UTC)- Zap2it went through some major overhaul changes and reverted it back with "Trade Ya" being the 19th episode of season four again.

- I really don't think you can do that. 06:06, January 5, 2014 (UTC)

- I really don't think you can do that. 06:06, January 5, 2014 (UTC)
- I guess you can say that Discord was the villain again, albeit indirectly. This would make Discord the villain of more episodes than any other antagonist in the show. Oh what beauty of a rose, to grace the eyes and charm the nose...~~SEGASister 17:17, March 29, 2014 (UTC)

- Applejack has bitten Rainbow Dash's tail eight times. Ghostkaiba297 (talk) 08:11, January 28, 2013 (UTC)
- And does so an additional time when entering the comic book in Power Ponies. -- Heeeeyyyy, everybody! It's Meester Tweester! 10:45, February 14, 2014 (UTC)
- Fluttershy is the only pony to bite Rarity's tail, and the only pony whose tail is bitten by Rarity. Ghostkaiba297 (talk) 08:11, January 28, 2013 (UTC)
- Three of Scott McNeil's characters are involved with Rarity in some way. Rover the Diamond Dog kidnaps her and forces her to find jewels for him, Flam makes Rarity faint during their song, and Caramel is said to be Rarity's neighbor during his first speaking appearance.

- And the only one without wings. Ghostkaiba297 (talk) 05:48, May 28, 2013 (UTC)
- Queen Chrysalis is the only major antagonist not to receive an official defeat in the show (although some think, comics aside, that she is either dead or banished). She is also the only one not to have been imprisoned a thousand years prior to the first episode. Ghostkaiba297 (talk) 08:11, January 28, 2013 (UTC)
- Every antagonist defeated by Spike has shattered to pieces upon death. (although Spike didn't directly do this to Sombra) Ghostkaiba297 (talk) 08:11, January 28, 2013 (UTC)
- Each main villain is fought in a different area. The battle with Nightmare Moon takes place in the Everfree Forest, Discord in Ponyville, Queen Chrysalis in Canterlot, and King Sombra in the Crystal Empire. Ghostkaiba297 (talk) 07:52, February 2, 2013 (UTC)

- At a total of 763 days apart between both episodes' premiere date. Oh what beauty of a rose, to grace the eyes and charm the nose...~~SEGASister 17:17, March 29, 2014 (UTC)
- So far in every 17th episode per season, Apple Bloom starred in it: Stare Master, Hearts and Hooves Day, and Somepony to Watch Over Me (Season 3 doesn't count because there was no episode 17). --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 20:54, February 12, 2014 (UTC)
- Every season finale so far features at least three songs. Dont Be a Sad Panda (talk) 01:26, February 15, 2014 (UTC)

- Every key episode in Season Four is written by a different writer. Abbeybunny
- Also, every key episode in Season Four has been broadcasted as an even numbered episode (Rarity Takes Manehatten - 8th episode broadcasted; Rainbow Falls - 10th episode broadcasted; Pinkie Pride - 12th episode broadcasted; It ain't easy being Breezies - 16th episode aired; Leap of Faith - 21st episode produced, but 20th episode broadcasted; Twilight's Kingdom Part 1 - 26th episode broadcast) Perfect Sige (talk) 04:38, April 1, 2014 (UTC)
- Season 1 is the only season where all episodes are broadcasted in the same order as their production order. Perfect Sige (talk) 04:38, April 1, 2014 (UTC)
- So far Twilight Sparkle (season 1 premiere and The Ticket Master), Rainbow Dash (May the Best Pet Win! and The Mysterious Mare Do Well), Rarity (A Dog and Pony Show and Green Isn't Your Color), Applejack (The Last Roundup and The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000), Spike (Inspiration Manifestation and Equestria Games), and the Cutie Mark Crusaders (Stare Master and The Show Stoppers) are the only characters to have stared in episodes twice in a row at least once (not counting episodes where all the Mane Six star in one episode). --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 14:56, April 6, 2014 (UTC)

- Unless you count Alicorn Princess Discord in the finale. :) - Raymondluxuryacht (talk) 23:01, May 10, 2014 (UTC)
- Out of the mane 6, Applejack has gone the longest between episodes without being clearly heard singing (Best Night Ever to The Crystal Empire - Part 1), which is 26 episodes. Twilight is second to her, having not been clearly heard singing since Magical Mystery Cure (24 episodes as of Equestria Games) Glenn31 (talk) 22:10, April 23, 2014 (UTC)
- Unless we're including EG, cause Twilight, and the rest of the Mane Six, sang then. --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 04:37, April 25, 2014 (UTC)
- I stand corrected. Applejack sang in A Canterlot Wedding - Part 1, so that means Twilight and Applejack are tied as of Equestria Games Glenn31 (talk) 17:56, May 6, 2014 (UTC)
- And Applejack takes the "win" because she has not been heard clearly since Twilight sang in Twilight's Kingdom - Part 1. Oh what beauty of a rose, to grace the eyes and charm the nose...~~SEGASister 16:11, May 10, 2014 (UTC)
