I have to admit this episode was an interesting idea, as we don't see Rarity interact with her sister all that much compared to Applejack and Apple Bloom. But it was nice to see how much Rarity cares for her younger sister in this episode compared to the "Sisterhooves Social" one in season two. But it was a welcome change, showing that Rarity really started to feel "homesick" after being away from her for so long. But when Rarity does come back to hang out with Sweetie Belle, she does things with her she liked when she was little, and there is a "B" plot that coincides with the main plot dealing with a filly named Zipporwhill, a young pegasus trying to reconnect with her "Dog" who she still sees as her puppy. The main theme was that we have to learn that things change, and we need to learn to grow as well with that change and not be blind to how things were in the past.
Overall, the episode wasn't bad. The story was fine, and there were some really funny moments, such as when the two were taking pictures. But other than that, I don't have much else to add. Sweetie Belle appreciating what her sister was doing was heartwarming and well-written.
