@alargesmallhorse "I don't think the amount of references to it in the episodes really make much of any difference at all." Possibly. It's hard to tell because of other key changes for the whole duration of the season, such as Twilight not being required to write the letters. This ended up making a lot of 'friendship' lessons we see harder to see where they're coming from. And episodes like Mmmystery just about throw the friendship out the window for wacky antics. In the case of Baby Cakes, yeah. It's pretty easy to work around the little bit of hints they dropped and still have the episode happen without elements of romance or complications of intimate relationships getting involved. Yet there's Hearts and Hooves Day, which wouldn't function without.
