Thanks:

Here's a few more:

Back From The Dead: Almost ALL the Predacons in the season's first arc. And, as of Episode 7, the Mean Six.

Crossover: With Transformers: Beast Wars.

Darker and Edgier: As with the previous season, while the non-arc episodes are still largely Slice of Life, sensitive subjects are directly addressed (most notably death). In addition, there is a war brewing with Grogar and his Legion.

School Bullying is Harmless: Averted. The pony counterpart of Wallflower Blush makes her debut in Episode Five of this season and, while nobody at the Friendship School actually bullies her, she IS mentioned to be a past victim of bullying at her old school. As with her human counterpart, she deeply loves plants and, in her debut episode, it is mentioned that bullies in her old school used to wreck her garden and left her with some definite issues.

Here is a few more possible ones:

Breather Episode: Considering the "War with the Legion" Arc and the majorly emotional Mother's Day themed episode immediately proceeding it, "the Soup Grouch" could very much be considered this.

Expy: The Soup Grouch (in the episode title of the same name) is very much a ponified version of the Soup Nazi (even being "voiced" by the same guy who played the Soup Nazi in the actual Seinfeld episode)

Whole Plot Reference: "The Soup Grouch" is pretty much an MLP-style homage to the classic Seinfeld episode "the Soup Nazi"

Here is a few more possible additions to the page:

Hypocritical Heartwarming: Tirek's reaction to the reveal that Grogar was planning on attacking and killing his father and brother definitely qualifies as he said that he was planning on doing THAT himself.

Shout Out: "Ugly and the Beast" is, of course, an obvious title reference to "Beauty and the Beast"

the worms Chrysalis and Tirek dined on during their "special night" in Ugly and the Beast was based quite a bit on the spaghetti scene from "Lady and the Tramp", complete with the song "Bella Notte"

Villain Episode: "Ugly and the Beast" is focused entirely on the villains with the only non-villainous characters even making a cameo being Vorax, Scorpan and a disguised Discord.

Plus, some additions to both Disappeared Dad AND Missing Mom: In "Ugly and the Beast", it was revealed that BOTH of Chrysalis's parents (who taught her to rule with an iron hoof) were assassinated.

Here is a few additions to pre-existing Tropes on the page:

For Darker and Edgier: "Of Mice and Mares" includes an interrupted rape (as well as mentions of a similar previous act) as well as the death of a minor antagonist at the hooves of another minor antagonist.

For Expy: Skimmer and Scammer in "Of Mice and Mares" are pretty much MLP-style versions of George and Lenny from "Of Mice and Men" (notably based on the versions from the original novel and movie rather than the Funny Animal versions from the Tex Avery cartoons). It even has an extremely similar ending, with Scammer killing Skimmer

For Whole Plot Reference: "Of Mice and Mares" is based rather strongly on "Of Mice and Men"

For new additions to the TV Tropes page:

The Bus Came Back: "Of Mice and Mares" includes a plot-important appearance by Sheriff Silverstar, Braeburn, Chief Thunderhooves and Little Strongheart.

Doesn't Know His Own Strength: Like the character he is an Expy of, Skimmer definitely has this problem.

Kind-Hearted Simpleton: Like the character he is an Expy of, Skimmer is a brutal deconstruction of this trope.

Manchild: Due to brain damage inflicted by an angry cow, Skimmer is definitely one of these.

Rape As Drama: Skimmer has been mentioned doing bad things to mares in the past and tried to rape Sugar Belle, Fortunately, in the case of the latter, Mac managed to intervene before Skimmer got too far.
