Line 51:
* [[Broken Pedestal]]: Twilight's first reaction to being told her brother is marrying Cadence is nothing more than absolute glee that her childhood friend and the "best foalsitter ever" is marrying her brother. Then she sees the [[Jerkass]] Cadence has become {{spoiler|(or seemed to)}}. {{spoiler|In the end, thanks to Impostor Cadence, she ends up becoming this in everyone else's eyes to some degree.}}
* [[Call Back]]:
** Applejack is the caterer for the wedding like she was for the Summer Sun Festival in [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E1 Mare in The Moon|the very first episode.]]
** Fluttershy's [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E1 Mare in The Moon|bird]] [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E5 Griffon the Brush Off|choir]] makes a return.
** Twilight [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E1 Mare in The Moon|is the]] [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E11 Winter Wrap Up|organizer.]]
** Rainbow Dash is called to perform her [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E16 Sonic Rainboom|Sonic Rainboom.]]
** Pinkie plays the [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E10 Swarm of the Century|Parasprite Polka]] while demonstrating to Mi Amore Cadenza.
*** She was using it to portray The Chicken Dance, an old wedding tradition in some circles.
** We see that force field that Twilight conjured [[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E23 Ponyville Confidential|in "Ponyville Confidential'']] except this time Shining Armor's the one who made it. (Maybe she learned the spell from her big brother.) The [[Anti
** Twilight does her joyful jumping around thing both as a filly and an adult, like she did in [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E23 The Cutie Mark Chronicles|''The Cutie Mark Chronicles'']].
** The [[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E3 Lesson Zero|Smarty Pants doll]] makes a brief reappearance in Twilight's flashback to Cadence. Twilight is pulling Smarty Pants out of a toy chest with her magic just before Cadence walks into the room. When Twilight sees Cadence, she drops Smarty Pants to get a hug. Smarty Pants is even seen with her quill and notebook!
** In the same scene, near the roof is a kite exactly like the one Apple Bloom tried to learn to fly in [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E12 Call of the Cutie|Call of the Cutie]].
** Call Back to "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E14 Suited for Success|Suited For Success]]", possibly mixed with [[Character Development]]. This time Rainbow Dash is able to articulate what she doesn't like about her dress and how it can be improved, and Rarity is more pleasant about making changes to it.
* [[The Cameo]]: Luna appears several times throughout the two-parter, though she has no bearing on the plot.
* [[Cassandra Truth]]: [[Zig Zagging Trope]]. {{spoiler|Everypony dismisses Twilight's claim that Cadence is evil. But then Cadence is revealed to be incredibly nice. The jerk-Cadence was an impostor.}}
Line 92:
** Spike talking about the Bachelor Party.
** Rainbow Dash covering her loins as the train passes through the barrier.
* [[Hope Spot]]: During Twilight's [[My God, What Have I Done?]] moment, Cadence appears and gently strokes her mane. Twilight tearfully says that she's sorry, and it seems like the two are going to reconcile... {{spoiler|until Cadence pulls out her [[Slasher Smile]] and imprisons Twilight beneath the castle.}}
* [[Humiliation Conga]]: A rare, heroic, undeserved example. After Twilight accuses the Princess, her brother gets angry at her, revokes her status as best mare and her invitation to the wedding, her friends walk off, very disappointed with her reckless behavior, all of which is topped off by Celestia, her mentor, telling Twilight "you have a ''lot'' to think about."
* [["I Am" Song]]: "B.B.B.F.F." is a song that both describes what kind of pony Shining Armor is and also gives us more insight into Twilight's childhood.
* [[Imposter Forgot One Detail]]: Twilight first becomes suspicious of {{spoiler|Cadence after she scoffs at their [[Secret Handshake]]}}. Strangely, no one notices {{spoiler|Cadence isn't using the right color magic}}.
* [[In
** Twilight's brother calls her "Twily."
** Princess Mi Amore Cadenza is called Cadence by Twilight Sparkle.
Line 112:
* [[Musical Spoiler]]: B.B.B.F.F. has a subtle but major one which could only be spotted by people well-versed in musical theory. {{spoiler|[http://www.equestriadaily.com/2012/04/day-arias-hidden-meaning.html The song ends with a chord progression known as a Deceptive Cadence]}}. Confirmed by [[Word of God|Word of Composer]].
* [[My Sister Is Off Limits|My Brother Is Off Limits]]: Everyone else thinks Twilight is just doing this trope and being jealous, whereas she thinks she has reason to think there's something badly wrong with the bride. The viewer may well be able to see in advance that Twilight is {{spoiler|right, even if there is probably a ''little bit'' of this trope there too}}.
* [[My God, What Have I Done?]]: Twilight after everyone walks out on her and she thinks she messed up. {{spoiler|Unfortunately, this time she was ''right''.}}
* [[Nice Hat]]: The Mane Six's hats -- both in the episode(s) and in promotional material (see, for example, the [http://www.equestriadaily.com/2012/03/updated-billboard-size-more-parody.html billboard image]).
* [[Non Standard Character Design]]: Princess Cadence is a [[Winged Unicorn]] with black-rimmed eyes like Celestia (either eyeliner or just trait of the family's royal lineage), gradient wings, and an unusually shaped face.
Line 141:
* [[Walking Spoiler]]: {{spoiler|The impostor Cadence, or if you prefer, Queen Chrysalis of the Changelings, since this is revealed in part 2.}}
* [[Wedding Day]]: Shining Armor to Princess Cadence.
* [[What the Hell, Hero?|What The Hay, Hero?]]: Twilight gets quite a heavy one at the end of the episode by Shining Armor after she accuses Cadence of being evil on bases he can easily counter, and sends her out crying.
* [[Wham Line]]:
{{quote| '''Twilight''': [[My God, What Have I Done?|I'm sorry...]]<br />
{{spoiler|'''"Cadence"'''}}: You '''will''' be. }}
* [[What Could Have Been]]: [[Word of God|According to the writer]] this was supposed to be a one-shot, slice-of-life episode without any villain. But it was rewritten as a two-parter with an adventure aspect.
