What episode was this?

The Mysterious Mare Do Well.

EDIT: To elaborate, I found the whole concept to be decent, but it felt like every step of the way was plagued by awful writing. Twilight, Applejack, Rarity, and even Fluttershy came off as uncharacteristically douchey, the writer seemed to completely miss the point of Dash's bragging and wrote her as an impossibly egotistical narcissist, and Pinkie was just... stupid. The lesson the mane six gave at the end and the way it was given also struck me as poorly done. Dash never actually learned the lesson herself, she needed it told to her after she nearly assaulted Pinkie Pie in that final confrontation. The mane six certainly didn't come off as humble to me, what with their bragging to Dash's face about how great they were as Mare Do Well or the bit where they actually went and attended a parade being held in their honor. And Dash, despite the bit where her friends didn't even bother trying to talk her down from the start implying that she wouldn't listen to reason, ended up... listening to reason and being talked down in the end. It made the whole episode seem pointless—if they could just talk her down and get her to listen to reason, why go through the whole farce? And why did Dash just up and accept the whole situation so readily after they'd screwed with her emotions the whole way through?

I'm tempted to link to a fanfic I wrote in response to the episode, but given how I felt about it I wouldn't be surprised if it seemed like I was just being pathetic for writing it.

EDIT EDIT: To elaborate on that... were I to give a summary of the fic's events, it'd definitely sound like nothing more than a fix fic. I hate those on principle, so having written what may very well be one doesn't sit all that well with me no matter how proud I am of how well the fic itself may have turned out.

EDIT EDIT EDIT: And now a synopsis for Episode 16 has come out. It's another Dash episode. I... I'm starting to get the feeling that the writers haven't a bloody clue what to do with her anymore. May the Best Pet Win focused on Dash's sudden desire for a pet, TMMDW focused on her sudden (self-)obsession with heroics, and now there's this.

Dash gets serious injured and is stuck in the hospital, where she suddenly discovers the joy of reading.

Did they just burn all their notes on her when Faust quit or something? And on top of this, they're seriously going with that angle? It's one of the biggest cliches in the fandom.

So, Granny Smith is the Best. Grandma. Ever.

I mean, when the series wouldn't actually happen if it weren't for her, I'd say that's pretty dang awesome.

Also, all "ponies as TF2 characters" art must have Granny as the Soldier forevermore.

Hey, remember how in Griffon the Brush Off, Pinkie and Rainbow pranked Applejack by painting the apples rainbow colors? Takes on an interesting new perspective with this episode.

I know that feeling, mate. Haven't seen my grandfather in years, and he's the only one left. Shame, he's the most badass working man I've ever known.
