I’m rewatching Tales at the moment and I just got to this episode. There was something I missed on my first watch, Appleloosa is actually taken from this episode it was the name of the stallion that the mare in Clovers story was engaged to. It’s possible that it is a coincidence but I doubt it.
They resorted to blackmail a few times.
Seriously, this episode has the most twisted moral of the entire series.
