Season 7 episode discussion - non-leaked/early version

Background Pony #5705
That’s an interesting point. Until this episode, Apple Bloom has usually lead the CMC.
 
I feel like there may not be a “leader” so much as any of them can take charge if the situation warrants it. Sweetie Belle, as I said, comes across very professionally here. She’s very much doing the part of presenting them as a client focused organization with the experience and skill to help with whatever problem ponies may come to them with.  
Sweetie Belle: “You have the CMC guarantee! No matter what it takes, we promise you’ll have our full attention.”
But she also seems aware that there are certain limits to that approach. Take one of the previous season episodes, “The Fault in Our Cutie Marks”. There, we see Sweetie Belle very practically commenting that there may eventually be clients they won’t be able to help.
Sweetie Belle: “Now, Scootaloo, you do know there will always be challenges? Someday, somepony might even come to us with a problem that even we can’t handle.”
So when it comes time to help someone who very likely can’t earn a mark at all, Scootaloo is the one who takes the lead and promises they’ll still try.
Scootaloo: “I know what it’s like to want something that’s out of reach. And just because it hasn’t happened yet doesn’t mean it can’t. Maybe trying for the impossible isn’t so bad.”
It’s not a very professionally minded attitude, but very fitting for Scootaloo personally. She has a soft spot for the impossible dream, and a tremendous amount of hope that with enough work even the impossible might prove achievable.
 
As for Apple Bloom, she’s a little harder to pin down leadership wise, but I feel like she tends to take charge when the other two are starting to give up. In that sense her leadership style is more a matter of gumption, that no matter how many times something fails, or how close to giving up someone may be, she’ll push onward regardless and encourage others to do so as well. After all, they mainly got their start because of Apple Bloom pointing out how good they were at help other ponies with their marks.

Yeah but that’s general and doesn’t take into account those that want to wait for the official English release
An excellent plan. As someone who waits, I approve of a separate thread for the people who want to see it right away.

It will be some time before those of us waiting will get to see it, but I’m looking forward to it. The idea of telling scary stories in the woods related to Equestrian legends? I’m definitely eager to find out what kind of stories they’ll be (and maybe if any of these legends will connect to the season finale).

So we got some new synopses for some newer episodes from zapit:
 
A Health of Information
 
While helping Fluttershy gather supplies, Zecora comes down with a terrible disease called Swamp Fever;  
even though a cure has not been discovered, Fluttershy makes it her mission to heal Zecora no matter what it takes.
 
To Change A Changeling
 
Starlight Glimmer and Trixie try to get Thorax’s brother Pharynx to accept the new way by sharing love and transforming so he doesn’t undermine Thorax’s leadership,and that the hive will ultimately accept him.
 
 
Isn’t The Mane Thing About You?
 
When Rarity’s shampoo is accidentally switched with Zecora’s magical remover potion,  
she does everything she can to fix her devastated mane in time for an upcoming photo shoot.
 
 
Once Upon A Zepplin
 
Twilight is torn when she discovers the cruise she and her family are on is a themed vacation experience in which ponies have paid for the privilege of spending time with her, and she must please both her family and the cruise attendees.
 
Marks and Recreation
 
Wanting to help as many blank flanks as possible, the CMCs start a Cutie Mark Day Camp, but are surprised when one of their campers doesn’t want a cutie mark.
 
Secrets and Pies
 
When Pinkie Pie thinks she sees Rainbow Dash throw away one of her pies, she suspects the worst - that Rainbow Dash secretly hates her pies; Pinkie Pie attempts to catch Rainbow Dash in her web of lies.

 
I’ll be honest and say that|| I’m really looking forward to the CMC episode along with the To Change a Changeling and Once Upon a Zeppelin.||

I have to admit, this season really seems to be focusing on family and friends. We have Rainbow’s family coming this weekend, Applejack’s parents set for a future date, and now interactions with Twilight’s family as well? Add that to Fluttershy’s fulfilling a dream, some actual time with Celestia, and two episodes featuring Zecora, and this may well be one of the most side character friendly/main character developing seasons we’ve had yet. I’m suitably enthused.
 
I also have to admit, the episode ”A Health of Information” really has me curious. I mean I doubt they’re going to make it dark or anything, but just the way it sounds already kind of puts it in that territory. Plus there’s the fact that the disease Zecora gets is actually a real thing (and a pretty horrible equine illness at that).

I wonder if they’ll bring Gabby back again (in one of the upcoming episodes). I wouldn’t mind it if they did. She was fun.
 
Although I suppose she could always show up in ”Marks and Recreation”.
