What if I said this is literally my favorite episode of the whole series.
For a character whose behavior can often be straight up irrational, seeing Pinkie grapple with feelings of frustration and jealousy as she gets competitive about the one thing she's truly prideful about suddenly made her so grounded and relatable.
Don't get me started on the extended joke that is Cheese Sandwich Just Being Weird Al, to the point of him covering Pinkie's most iconic song to her annoyance. This episode was an event. You had to be there.
I really like this season 4 episode. Pinkie finds out she might be related to Applejack, and together they try to find the records to prove it.
In the end it's left ambiguous, though Pinkie is made an honorary Apple anyway. But I like to think the familial connection is subtly confirmed by these two moments where Pinkie and a member of Applejack's family show the same uncanny ability to grab something from the bottom of a pile without it toppling. It's cute.
