Calling a Spike ep 'mid' is generally seen as being generous. As I've said, they are not often looked on with favor, mostly because of how much it is the same thing "Spike fucks things up by grasping the Idiot Ball, till someone else saves his ass and fixes the mess he caused." This one is no exception. But still has some fun points. So, off the bat, Peewee, the reason why we've never seen him since the ep he showed up is.... the writers forget he even existed.... I wish I was kidding. It wasn't till they started working on this ep some of the storyboard artist realized "Hey, this is an ep all about the pets but.. what about Spike's pet phoenix? Too late to add him into the story, so they tacked on that little picture montage to show him going back to his family. Yes the writers cared so little for Spike they forgot he had a pet. There is a reason Spike eps are seen as 'the bad ones'. While it might seem like Rarity is being stingy giving Spike the smallest gem.... size alone does not equal value, and that one tony gem was worth enough to buy all those supplies plus that massive machine the CMC got. We get a cameo by Screwloose, the mental patient pony that was acting like a dog in Read it and Weep. As Spike walks buy you see a nurse talking to her in what looks to be her own home, implying she's recovering, only for the nurse to turn back with a "What?" expression as she hears Winona barking. This ep did also give us the reveal that the Filly Scouts exist, to much adorable fan art. The filly seen at the collection box has been dubbed Tagalong. Also, general agreement is Zecora took and donated that gem from Spike to prevent another Greed Growth incident from him haording too much. Yeah not much else to say till the next one so.... like you said a rather 'meh, it's alright' ep.
