* ''[[Pokémon]]'' with bumbling, literal nursing pokemon (Chansey and its evolution Blissey).

Twilight Sparkle gets in on the act, out of fear of what will happen to Fluttershy if Celestia finds out, and [[Hilarity Ensues]]. {{spoiler|Turns out Philomena's a phoenix, and her "sickness" was from being at the end of her life cycle, just before the "spontaneously combust and rise from the ashes" part.}}▼
