Season 7, Episode 2
Remember when I said I might write a blog post about GalaCon 2023 (my first pony con)? Well, I ended up making a video about it instead, and released it on the tenth anniversary of when I first watched MLP:FiM. You should watch it if you haven’t! If you like reading my MLP reviews, I promise you’ll enjoy this video too.
I promise I’ll speed up with my MLP reviews for at least the first half of season 7. And yes, it’ll come at the cost of slowing down another post series.
Season 7 Episode 2: All Bottled Up
In five words: Trixie drives Starlight to insanity.
Premise: While Twilight Sparkle and friends are off for a friendship retreat, Starlight Glimmer practices magic with Trixie and gets annoyed with her friend’s careless mishaps. Luckily, she can store all her anger in bottles and ignore it forever… or so she thinks.
Detailed run-through:
This episode begins with a slice of life scene featuring a fan favorite pair of characters, where Starlight Glimmer makes cupcakes for her friends’ trip and Trixie practices magic. When Starlight explains how to do a transfiguration spell and Trixie does it successfully, it first seems like happy fluffy friendship moments…
This scene does shows us that Trixie isn’t quite as reformed as Starlight is, which I admire.
It’s nice that different villains (or villain-ish characters) are reformed at different rates.
… but the moment Trixie hugs Starlight overly tight and makes her spill frosting, the episode’s conflict becomes clear. It’s a similar style of cold opening to Make New Friends but Keep Discord: we see a friendship established a season or two ago, and since we already know they’re friends, it doesn’t take long to introduce their conflict.
Pretzels are what you eat when you don’t have any better snacks.
Like when you need something cheap to munch on a flight.
Trixie gets carried away with turning everything into teacups and squishes Starlight’s cupcakes. When she learns what the cupcakes were for, Trixie pulls a bag of pretzels out of the cabinet and says “problem solved”. At this point, I realize that Starlight and Trixie’s relationship has a lot in common with Fluttershy and Discord’s. Trixie adores Starlight Glimmer but doesn’t care much about the rest of Starlight’s friends, and even gets a rise out of annoying them. Discord feels the same about Fluttershy compared to the rest of her friends. Both of them especially love to annoy Twilight Sparkle.
Let’s get this episode’s most common criticism out of the way: Starlight’s anger clouds were invented solely for this episode. Yes, this is totally true, and I’ve complained about one-offs before. However, I’m OK with this one-time feature because it’s necessary to convey this episode’s moral, which is a very good one.
Twilight Sparkle: Are you sure you don’t want to come with us?
Spike: Yeah… I have three new comics to get through.
It’s a small detail, but I appreciate that by this point, if the Mane 6 go somewhere without Spike, the show usually explains why he’s staying behind. It doesn’t have to be a complicated explanation. Sometimes he just wants a break from the girls so he can have his own Spike time.
Starlight Glimmer: And I promised Trixie we’d practice more magic.
Starlight Glimmer: It might be better if the castle was empty, if you know what I mean.
Trixie: Ugh, relax. If anything breaks, Starlight will just go back in time and fix it.
Starlight Glimmer: Hahaha… yeah… ahaha…
Trixie: Kidding.
Even though time travel isn’t real, viewing someone as overly dependable and capable of fixing any problem is very much real. I’ve been in Starlight’s situation a lot—people thinking I will take care of any problem without being annoyed about it—but more with family than with friends. I’m starting to think I will feel for Starlight throughout this episode. Also, Trixie wasn’t actually kidding and she knows it.
Trixie: Have fun on your friendship retreat!
Trixie: (What in Equestria is a friendship retreat, anyway?)
Starlight Glimmer: (They’re gonna bond, share laughs, and if I know them… they’re gonna sing a song.)
Trixie: We are going to have so much more fun than them. (she and Starlight laugh)
Starlight Glimmer: Shh!
From her reformation onwards, Starlight Glimmer frequently finds herself in the role of a mediator—in this scene, between Trixie and the Mane 6, and later in this episode, between Trixie and her own anger. She tries to appease both sides here, and while it works fine in this scene, her attempts at keeping everyone calm later blow up in her face.
Not shown: Starlight awkwardly giving Twilight the pretzels.
Starlight Glimmer: OK, Trixie. What kind of spells did you want to work on next?
Trixie: Well… every self-respecting magician has a disappearing act. So, maybe we could start with that?
Starlight Glimmer: Hmm. Nothing just disappears, so that’s technically a teleportation spell. And those are pretty hard.
Starlight Glimmer is unintentionally foreshadowing what happens with her own anger. She knows logically that nothing just disappears, whether it be physical objects or emotions. Despite this, she hopes her frustration with Trixie will quietly disappear if she keeps shoving it aside.
Starlight Glimmer: I’ve always found magic is tied to my emotions. Whatever I’m feeling fuels whatever I’m doing. And the stronger I’m feeling, the stronger the magic.
Trixie: Riiiight. Like when you were so upset that cutie marks took away your friend, your magic was strong enough to enslave an entire village!
Starlight Glimmer: (annoyed) Yup! Thanks for bringing that up.
Another thing that doesn’t just disappear is Starlight’s regret over her cult-running days. Trixie might not judge Starlight for her past, but Starlight judges herself for it. She has every right to be bothered when Trixie brings it up.
Trixie suggests teleporting Spike as practice, and when Starlight rejects this idea, Trixie calls her “mini-Twilight”, which again gets Starlight annoyed. I think that the nickname “mini-Twilight” means that Trixie thinks Starlight is a rule follower like Twilight, but not as stuck up about it.
Three seasons after gaining wings, Twilight still forgets she can fly.
Now we begin the episode’s B plot, which is the Mane 6’s adventure in Manehattan. Yes, this is one of very few MLP episodes that follow the “A plot, B plot” formula so common in other TV shows with 22-minute episodes, like The Simpsons or Futurama. The only other double plot episode I can name off the top of my head is The Break Up Break Down. Which raises the question: why does this episode have a B plot? My guess is that the writers needed to pad out a script that came out short, and the song “Best Friends Until the End of Time” was made for an episode (or Equestria Girls movie?) that never happened, so the staff decided to combine the two. But who can say for sure?
Twilight Sparkle is excited about this puzzle-solving challenge, but the rest not quite as much. Rarity didn’t even know what an escape room even was; she thought it was a spa where she could escape all her troubles. Despite this, the Mane 6 are all happy to do this activity as friends together, which is what really matters.
I love the retreat guide pony. He is so utterly uninterested in his job, but it probably pays him a fortune.
The guide pony says a group of griffons cleared this room in an hour, and Rainbow Dash is confident her team can beat the record because “griffons barely like each other”. Putting aside her potentially racist line, this says something new about griffon culture. We already know they love competitive sports, but it turns out that extends to puzzle solving.
Rainbow Dash’s line about setting a record beautifully transitions to Starlight Glimmer saying Trixie could set a magic learning record. We’ll get a lot of other yummy little transitions throughout this episode.
Starlight Glimmer tells Trixie to concentrate on the object she wants to teleport, and Trixie mishears it as “concentrate on teleport”. This is what happens:
Nice job, Trixie. Real nice job.
Starlight Glimmer behaves exactly like Twilight Sparkle does when she screws something up for Celestia: she panics that her mentor will never trust her again. Again like Twilight, Starlight does not want to admit her problem to her mentor, but instead scrambles to solve or hide it before her mentor shows up. Also, the last thing Starlight wants is to see Twilight and Trixie lash out at each other (and then probably kiss).
Spike: Hey, are you OK?
Starlight Glimmer: I will be, once I cast a spell to contain my anger in this bottle.
Spike: Wait, what?
Starlight Glimmer: Do you see this storm cloud? This has never happened before! All this magical energy has to go somewhere, and if I’m not using it to fight a magical duel or bend my friends’ wills to obey my every command…
Spike: Ha. I remember that.
Starlight Glimmer: The point is, I don’t know what my magic’s going to do. So, I’m hoping if I bottle up my anger, I won’t do… who knows what, to Trixie.
Spike: Are you sure that’s a good idea?
Starlight Glimmer: What choice do I have? I’ve got to get that map back, and… I don’t want to lose Trixie. If she knew what I was thinking right now, she’d probably never talk to me again.
This scene has strong parallels with Every Little Thing She Does: Starlight Glimmer leaves the scene when it’s clear things won’t go as hoped, so she devises a magic spell to solve her problem. In both episodes, Spike tries to dissuade her from doing something crazy, but she refuses to listen. It may seem like Starlight didn’t learn her lesson from the mind control debacle, but I have two good comebacks. First, you could argue Starlight only learned not to cast spells on her friends, so she thinks casting spells on her anger would work fine. Second, it often takes multiple mistakes for a lesson to truly sink in.
Trixie: Oh, there you are! For a minute, I didn’t think you were coming back and that you might be upset with me for some real reason. But then I remembered: you never get mad at me.
I can’t blame Starlight Glimmer for being bugged by this remark. Few things are more annoying than when someone thinks you’re incapable of being—if you’ll forgive my language—peeved at them. It means they think they can be their worst, most selfish and unfiltered self, and you won’t mind because you’re their friend. In general, it’s aggravating when someone thinks you have a personality trait that you absolutely don’t have. From Trixie’s perspective, Starlight is the one pony who can tolerate her self-absorbed ways, which we’ve seen isn’t quite true. But how is Trixie supposed to know that?
Oblivious to any anger her friend might be harboring, Trixie agrees to go search for the map while she takes her sweet time munching cinnamon nuts. Just like her Equestria Girls self, she has the strangest taste in snacks.
If Spike was here, his fire breath and appetite for gems could have destroyed this whole puzzle.
Speaking of gems, I love the Rarity moments in this episode. But I love Rarity moments in general.
Twilight Sparkle solves the blue puzzle and uncovers a gem beneath, which Fluttershy inserts into the cloth above so that it can roll up and reveal a scroll beneath. I’m assuming the cloth was tightly stuck to the staircase, because otherwise the ponies could have just looked under the cloth and bypassed this section. Maybe that’s what the griffons did.
Some people might think Trixie is out of character in this episode, but I don’t think she is. She’s a very believable portrayal of someone oblivious to how much she’s getting on her friend’s nerves, because her friend is bottling up her anger. She’s just so cheery and carefree, her mind blocking out any possibility that Starlight is annoyed with her, even as Starlight hurries her along through every place the map might have turned up. I don’t know if you’ve been on Starlight’s side of this situation, but I absolutely have.
Not shown: Granny Smith saying that despite her senility, she’d know for sure if a table poofed out of thin air.
Trixie: Darn, I could’ve sworn it’d be at the ice cream parlor, because it was warm in the castle and I thought I wanted ice cream and—OOH! Maybe we could check out the Crystal Empire ‘cause Twilight’s castle is made out of crystals, so I totally had crystals on my mind.
Starlight Glimmer: (bottles her anger) OK. We better start moving if we want to make it to the Crystal Empire.
Trixie: Are you OK, Starlight? Because you seem a little… what’s the word? (grumbling noises)
Starlight Glimmer: No. I am great.
I’m not just talking about obliviousness to annoyance. It also feels horrendous when you’re in a bad mood and see someone else merrily frolicking around while words spill out of their mouth. Doubly so if this person has been pushing your buttons all day. That just makes you less and less willing to admit the truth.
Starlight looks like she just got out of the shower.
Now we get to the most surrealistic part of this episode. When the bottle of anger inevitably breaks, Starlight isn’t the one who lashes out at Trixie. Instead, the anger spreads to three other ponies who chew out Trixie on Starlight’s behalf:
Granny Smith: You ruined my teacakes!
Trixie: What?!
Jeweler Pony: You just had to give Twilight those smelly pretzels!
Trixie: Were they your pretzels? I don’t understand.
Bulk Biceps: You don’t pay attention when I’m trying to teach you!
Trixie: Starlight! Can you help me? Please??
The decision for Starlight’s angry words to come from other ponies is strange, but it has a good purpose. It increases the freaky factor beyond just one pony yelling at another, something we’ve seen in the show many times. It conveys how shocking it is to be on the receiving end of an angry chew-out—it’s like the ranting came out of nowhere. If you bottle your anger (or other feelings) up long enough, when the bottle inevitably breaks, people will have absolutely no idea you felt that way, no matter how obvious it was to you.
Applejack: Twilight, can you help me please?
I love these episode’s mood whiplash transitions so much, you don’t even know. Even if you think you know how much I love these transitions, I can promise you don’t. A little twinkle of delight runs down my body during every single one of these.
I almost didn’t notice Twilight’s pegasus wings. Yay for animation errors!
Fluttershy is either a big doofus for inserting the key without opening the door, or she did it on purpose because she didn’t want to break the griffons’ record. Actually, who am I kidding? She obviously did this on purpose. “We’ve already saved Equestria a dozen times. Oh, I would just feel awful taking the record from the griffons, who worked so very hard to achieve it,” I can hear her thinking.
Twilight Sparkle: This is it! I’m so impressed.
Rainbow Dash: I’m not. I knew we were the best.
Granny Smith: You’re the worst!
This is another delightful transition. These little scene transition lines might be my favorite thing about this episode. Why doesn’t every show with a two-plot episode format do this?
The song’s instrumental begins right here.
Starlight Glimmer: I’m glad Twilight isn’t here to see this.
Twilight Sparkle: I wish that Starlight was here to see how strong friendships can be when we trust each other to work together!
And another wonderful transition. Starlight Glimmer’s line shows that just like Twilight, she wants to seem perfect in front of her mentor. Celestia’s magic has bailed Twilight out of mishaps before, and Twilight could undo Starlight’s mishaps just as well, but what they both fear most is getting their mentor upset.
Twilight Sparkle’s line suggests that she’s been trying to encourage Starlight to join in on more of their adventures. Fans were pleased when Starlight got to do that next season, in The Mean 6.
I love how Pinkie Pie pops up from the top of the screen.
And so begins the first musical number of season 7: Best Friends Until the End of Time. It’s a shameless, sugary celebration of the friendships between these six wonderful little ponies. However, I’d argue this song serves a greater purpose for the show: it establishes this season’s style of musical numbers. Season 7 has the fewest musical numbers of any season, at only five. The songs that it does have are elaborate and full of complex visuals, particularly this song and “Flawless” twelve episodes later.
Twilight’s eyes move up and down every time Pinkie Pie bounces.
These visuals may seem awfully cheesy to an outsider, but if you’ve made it this far in watching this show, then cheerfully goofy friendship montages are second nature to you. At first, you might not have been fond of all main characters, but if you’re anything like me, you’ve grown to find something to love about all six. You love each and every one of these characters—the cutesy shy girl, the cutesy fashion girl, the purple egghead, the blue egghead, the reality warper, and the reality teller. And Spike, you also love him. If you don’t love these characters, then why are you reading this post?
The mood whiplash amidst this song is outstanding too. While the cheerful instrumental continues, Trixie runs in fear and asks Starlight to use her magic, which she’s run out of. This shows that the song is meant as comedic, parodying the show’s own affinity towards sappy friendship songs.
And yet, this entire song is genuinely smile-inducing. It embraces goofiness and owns up to loving something that may seem childish on the surface, but it isn’t afraid to make fun of itself. This is exactly the spirit of being a brony.
The ponies learn that the game isn’t over until they turn the key, so Rainbow Dash hurries to finish the job.
Rainbow Dash: Did we do it?
Attendant Pony: So close. You missed the griffon record by two seconds. Probably shouldn’t have sung that song.
Rainbow Dash: Aw, nuts!
As unenthusiastic as the attendant pony may be, you can see here why he has this job. He obeys the rules perfectly with no exceptions or loopholes, not even if the ponies solving it are a princess and her entourage. He didn’t even care that an alicorn took part in this challenge, which takes some serious guts.
This is the “who knows what” that Starlight feared she’d do to Trixie.
Bulk Biceps: AAAHHH!!!
Trixie: NUTS!!!
And the last transition comes from a pun about Trixie’s favorite snack.* It’s so goofy and over-the-top, but that’s why I love this show.
* Possibly second favorite, behind peanut butter crackers.
After transcribing these lines by hand, I can only read them in Starlight Glimmer’s voice.
Bulk Biceps: You just do whatever you want to do!
Trixie: Starlight!
Granny Smith: And you don’t always (huff, puff) have to bring up my dark past!
Trixie: I didn’t even know you had one, Granny Smith!
Is this meant to foreshadow Granny Smith’s actual dark past, which we learn about in The Perfect Pear? I would say no, BUT… this episode has the exact same writers as The Perfect Pear, Joanna Lewis and Kristine Songco. I think they purposely put Granny Smith in this episode so they could sneakily hint at the story behind Applejack’s parents. Another hint at them is featured in A Royal Problem, again written by Lewis and Songco.
Twilight would most certainly freak out if the map is missing. Though I’m not sure if she’d end all trust with Starlight.
Jeweler Pony: I just can’t believe you sometimes! You make me so mad!
Trixie: I barely even know you! I don’t understand why you’re all so mad at me!
Starlight Glimmer: They’re not. I am.
Trixie: You are?
Starlight Glimmer: (sigh) I’m really… mad at you.
Starlight Glimmer: You lost Twilight’s map table. You make jokes like it’s no big deal. It’s like you don’t care that you could get me in a lot of trouble! If we can’t find that table, Twilight’s never going to trust me again. And the worst part is, YOU DIDN’T EVEN SAY YOU WERE SORRY!
Trixie: I… I’m sorry. I had no idea you felt that way.
Starlight Glimmer: YEAH! I do!
Starlight Glimmer: (sigh) But, to be fair, I don’t know how you could have known.
Some fans criticize this episode because Trixie’s insensitive behavior is over the top. I don’t agree with this criticism, but I do have a separate problem with this scene: Starlight and Trixie make up surprisingly quickly. I would think they’d spend the rest of the day refusing to talk until they cool down. On a narrative level, it makes sense they’d quickly reconcile since it’s near the end of the episode, but it’s still a bit odd to me. The best justification I can give is that Trixie is quick to forgive Starlight because she really loves Starlight as a friend. This is backed up by a famous line and a scene shortly after.
The other three ponies who were infected by Starlight’s magic are all quick to forgive her, because it was a slow day anyway. This comes off like the writers are saying “eh whatever, we did a lot in this episode anyway”, in a self-aware way. Bulk Biceps realizes from the jeweler that he’s late for the spa, then sheepishly admits that “[he wears] many hats”. Since he’s a gag character, that is perfectly believable.
Trixie: Not gonna lie, hearing you and those random ponies say all those terrible things about me wasn’t easy. But I needed to hear it. Why didn’t you just tell me how you felt?
Starlight Glimmer: I didn’t want to lose you as a friend.
Trixie: Pff, come on. It would take a lot more than that to lose me. Our friendship is stronger than a few angry words.
Starlight Glimmer: And a magical temper tantrum?
Trixie: I’d take that over the boring pony you were becoming any day.
Trixie: The Starlight I love is passionate, lively, and yeah, sometimes angry. Those are my favorite parts of you. That, and the fact that you forgive me every time.
Ah, here’s the famous phrase: “the Starlight I love”. It’s definitely meant to throw Starlight/Trixie shippers a bone, and I do think they’d be cute as a romantic couple. However, it drives me crazy when people make fun of others for thinking a pair of female characters without a canon romance are “just friends”, or sarcastically refer to them as “gal pals” because apparently there’s no such thing as a close non-romantic friendship between girls. This happens a lot more with female ships than male ships. I wish these types of people would think of gay ships no differently from straight ships: sometimes the characters would work as a couple, other times they’re more interesting simply as friends.
If the speed of Starlight and Trixie’s reconciliation is not to be taken as a criticism, it’s an indicator of their tight friendship. This is further indicated in the very next scene.
At the spa, Bulk Biceps and the guests are completely unfazed by the sudden presence of a giant table. This unfazement* has precedence: remember in Slice of Life, when the residents of Ponyville acted nonchalant about a bugbear attack? They’re completely desensitized to crazy stuff happening in Ponyville. For them, it’s become an ordinary part of daily life. That may also be why they didn’t care much about being controlled by Starlight’s anger. They’ve been through worse things.
* I knew spell check wouldn’t recognize it as a real word, and I don’t care. It is a real word.
Trixie: I remember what I was thinking about!
Starlight Glimmer: You’re kidding me.
Trixie: There’s more to it than that. I was thinking about how glad I am to have met you, and I remembered our first meeting, here at the Ponyville Spa.
This scene is just so incredibly precious and sweet. We’re only on the second episode of season 7, and we already have one of the most heartwarming moments the show has ever seen. It shows that as self-absorbed as Trixie might be, she really does love Starlight Glimmer. She just demonstrated it in the most accidental, most Trixie way possible.
Need I remind you that unicorns are OP?
Trixie almost teleports the map back, but Starlight Glimmer stops her. Presumably, they made sure to concentrate on the right location, because there’s no way they dragged it all by hand… no wait, by hoof… no wait, by horn… no wait, that doesn’t work either, since teleporting the table is also “all by horn”. You know what I mean. With Spike’s help, they finish adjusting the table immediately after Twilight and friends come in.
Twilight Sparkle: Hey, girls! How’d it go?
Starlight Glimmer and Trixie: (drop the table) Nothing!
Twilight Sparkle: What?
Starlight Glimmer: Let’s just say, I learned a friendship lesson while you were gone.
Twilight Sparkle: You’ve barely graduated, and you’re already taking initiative! Oh, I’m so proud!
Some viewers might think Twilight Sparkle is oblivious to the havoc that Starlight and Trixie went through, but I think Twilight has a good idea of what went down. Maybe not all the fine details, but she can tell that Starlight and Trixie misplaced the map and had to learn to peacefully solve the problem. Imagine if Twilight in this scene was replaced with Celestia, and Starlight is replaced with Twilight. Celestia would absolutely know that Twilight went through crazy mishaps and be proud she learned a friendship lesson, so I think Twilight feels the same about Starlight here. Besides, Twilight Sparkle knows that you don’t learn friendship lessons from books, but from mishaps in real life.
Fluttershy: We learned about team building, and problem solving.
Pinkie Pie: And when not to sing songs!
Rarity: We certainly had a good time, but I really was looking forward to a spa day. And the Ponyville Spa is still open! Anyone?
(chatter in agreement)
This is such a good parody of how season 1 episodes normally ended. The moral is outright stated, but here it’s something incredibly silly, and for old time’s sake, Rarity sends things off with some spa time. This fits the episode’s spirit of poking at itself while still being earnest.
Trixie: Quick, do you have a spell that will make the spa ponies forget that the map table was there?
Starlight Glimmer: Haven’t you learned anything about using magic to solve your problems?
Trixie: No. If we learned that lesson, how will we ever have fun?
(Starlight and Trixie laugh)
It always amuses me when Trixie purposely defies Twilight and friends’ gooberly way of recounting friendship lessons. She thinks she’s too cool for friendship lessons, but deep down, she isn’t at all. The episode ends right here, with a spin on the old friendship lesson pattern.
Overall thoughts:
I’m a huge sucker for Starlight Glimmer and Trixie’s dynamic, so it’s easy for me to enjoy any episode focusing on them. They’re such a perfect duo with the right mix of similarity and contrast, which lends itself well to believable conflicts. I have to admit, when the two of them get into a conflict, I pretty much always sympathize with Starlight’s side. Which is fair, because there’s no shortage of fans who relate to Trixie.
I think people’s enjoyment of this episode (and many others) depends on whether they can relate to it. Take the example of The Cart Before the Ponies, from last season. I was harsh on it when reviewing it, but I know some people who like the episode because they know what it’s like to deal with a bossy older sibling. Likewise, fans who aren’t so fond of this episode likely don’t find themselves bottling up their anger when someone drives them crazy. I find Starlight’s situation easy to relate to and I love the metaphor of shoving her anger in physical bottles.
The subplot with the Mane 6 in an escape room is incredibly silly, but it’s important to this episode’s overall tone. It makes fun of itself (and the show as a whole) but it’s still thoroughly sincere. This especially holds for the musical number, which is a genuinely good song.
Grade: B
Starlight and Trixie’s quick reconciliation requires suspension of disbelief, and prevents this great episode from getting an A.
Miscellaneous notes:
- On the train ride to Manehattan, I’m almost certain that Pinkie Pie brought backup cupcakes in case Starlight Glimmer couldn’t follow her recipe. That’s why Twilight Sparkle awkwardly lied when Starlight gave her the bag of pretzels.
- In the first chorus of the musical number, when the Mane 6’s faces form a grid, Pinkie Pie appears from the bottom, whereas in the second, she pops in upside-down. This is the only difference between the two choruses, so it’s a great demonstration of Pinkie Pie’s fourth wall shenanigans.
- In The Lost Treasure of Griffonstone, Gilda showed us a sign that prohibits all singing in the village. Considering this, it’s possible that the griffons sang after beating the escape room too, since they were free from the rules of their hometown. They just made sure to turn the key before bursting into song.
- Amidst the chattering when the Mane 6 agree to go to the spa, Rainbow Dash mentions she still has a coupon. That’s a nice little nod to her not-so-secret obsession with indulgent pampering.
The next thing to be bottled up is some nice, healthy milk for Flurry Heart, a calm and peaceful baby who’s never the slightest bit destructive.
See you next week for a bunch of infuriating baby moments, then a bunch of delightful Maud Pie moments.
