Rarity's dream of owning a boutique in Canterlot finally comes true, but it comes at a price Rarity may not be willing to pay.
It's been a little while huh.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!
Kept you waiting, huh?
I'm so nervouscited!
Indeed it has.
FINALLY! I CAN HARDLY WAIT TO WATCH THAT EPISODE! RARITY DESERVES THE FOCUS AFTER A ZERO-RARITY SEASONE 3!
A Rarity focused episode after this long of a break?
God damn fantastic.
Finally, I can see the light at the end of this miserable tunnel!
NOW LET'S GET A SONG OUT OF THIS DEAL!
Dangit Pinkie!
At least the cupcake's not Rainbow Dash.
I sense that the hiatus left Pinkie wanting to stretch her power.
MOVE BITCH, GET OUT THE WAY!

GET OUT THE WAY BITCH, GET OUT THE WAY!
Not a big fan of this new unicorn's design, the way the horn curves into her head looks weird.

They told me not to wear aviator sunglasses, but I didn't listen!
Who has a bigger ego? Trixie or Sassy Sandals.
"Rarity, I just want to be the first to congratulate you. . . ."
And the only one as well!
I wish every rarity ep didn't have the same plot.
SONG TIME!
Put your hoof down girl. Make her respect your position.
*points to Rarity overworking herself in the past*
Careful Rarity.
Headcanon: Sassy Sandals has a factory of slightly less than willing workers.
Triangle Shirtwaist, anyone?
I like how Rarity's songs seem to change as she keeps going.

I just want to see Sassy Sandles get ahold of the Alicorn Amulet.
Lol this season is getting a lot of Rarity and Rainbow Dash. RD got her own song and episode and now Rarity is getting like two or three episodes including the next few coming up. This season is great.
3386905 She'd be a better villain than Siri Polomare. Lol.
Hey look a goth pony. First I've seen.
I wonder why all those boutiques all failed with you as part of them.
Hmmmm.
Canterlot's Maud Pie.

EDIT: According to Derpibooru, her name's either Crescent Heart or Moonlight Raven. Take your pick.
Holy shit my eyes at that ending.
Wow. Sassy got her stuff together in one episode. I was sure she'd fall like the other's.
Dat's a big pony.
Damn, that was a huge bitch at the end.
I liked this episode. There wasn't a ton to it, but it was still nice. Added a lot of new potential for fanfiction stories.
Can't believe the new manager was stealing the spotlight from Rarity.
3386931 I know, right?
3386932 I know right? I'm expecting fanart
Not bad. I appreciate that Sassy was in no way actually evil, just a bit too narrow sighted in terms of her marketing plan. I'm also really glad they didn't reset the board and just put Rarity back in Ponyville with no Canterlot boutique for the next episode.
First Ponyville, then Canterlot, then the world!!!1!
Oh My Luna raven pone best new pony.
also dat landwhale pony at the end how in tartarus does that mare even stand up.
also it looks like Twilight has a lot of fans and rustled some jimmies.
I was afraid for a couple minutes at about the 2/3s mark that the writers really were going to close the Canterlot branch down, reverting Rarity's business back to the status quo.
Glad to see they didn't.
3386933 Seemed a little flat after such a hiatus, but it did open fimfiction gates and do a good job. (Would've loved to see the other 5 more too, but Rarity satisfies well.)
That pony at the end.
I CAN'T BREATHE

Well that was fast.
This episode was pretty thoroughly mediocre. It had some character advancement for Rarity - and totally Jossed the idea of her moving away for fashion - but while the central conflict was decent enough, unfortunately the episode as a whole was lacking that special something.
You know, clever dialogue. Sassy Saddles was an okay character, but unremarkable and kind of flat, and there was a dearth of clever dialogue between her and Rarity - and that was a bit of a problem, seeing as they were basically the only two ponies in the episode. While the customers at the end were mildly amusing, they weren't enough to carry the episode, and on the whole, the episode was very workmanlike - it got through the plot but it didn't really sparkle with the clever wit that carried episodes like Suited for Success.

Well son, it's a Rarity episode, so... yeah.
That pony at the end though. She needs to go on adventures, a couple of times.
It was pretty good. Could've used some more interaction between Sassy and Rarity, but it had enough good things to keep me entertained (like the song and funny side characters).
Also, Bring Emo Pony and Landwhale Pony back in future episodes!
3386932
Deuce Bigalow: Equestrian Gigolo!
Seriously though, that thing was nightmare inducing.
I love this episode!
I love how it speaks to the artist in me, not to let it become taken in by a manager. To not let yourself be taken in by a manufactoing job. This is why I try and change things up when I write

I wonder what the names will be like.
If I didn't know better I'd say the looked like Panty and Stocking.
3386877 Sassy without a doubt. Even Trixie would say she's too much.
This episode was good and had some good character development on the part of Rarity. However, I feel that that Sassy Sandals was just annoying. I get what they were going for, but she is just a mediocre character that I doubt will ever show up again. She's just bland and rather boring.
Granted not as boring as Suri Polomare though.The song by Rarity was good, as usual, and it's nice to see Rarity's business is expanding further out.Also, die hard Luna fans won't be happy since the poll in Canterlot shows that Twilight is best princess apparently. Did anyone else catch that?
I'm really looking forward to the Rarity and Rainbow Dash episode next week.
