So we have another CMC episode? Sweet.

So they've assigned the flight formation to Scootaloo? That's cute.

My teacher never gave out cupcakes... she just HAD to be married to a dentist...

So that's what Chancellor Puddinghead looks like...

Also, how did they sneak in?!

SPIKE! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!?

Applebloom, you're about as subtle as a brick.

Sweetie Belle, seriously? You know your sister better than this.

Scootaloo..... did you honestly think that disguise was going to work?

Girls, seriously, your purposely bad acting is starting to get grating...

....... LE-SIGH, so how many times should a wha-wha music be played in this episode?

....I don't know why, but this Cozy Glow gives me an odd vibe....

Bonbon, what made you think carrying the cactus so close to your face was a good idea?

.....oh Mrs. Cake, you must be a headache for anyone with OCD.

AWWWWW SugarMac!

"History of radishes?" I thought my history assignments were boring as hell.

Okay, that look she gave them that was really unnerving for some reason....

The CMC themselves make surprisingly good teachers!

.....aaaaand Twilight's mad, uh-oh.

Uh Twilight? Do you really believe that the CMC would be remotely spiteful?

Cozy Glow, what do you do???

Okay, is it wrong that I find Starlight's "counselor voice" oddly sexy?

Okay Cozy? That was kind of a dumb idea.

Careful Starlight, your season 6 self is showing...

Congratulations you graduated from a school you didn't attend...

Yeah ok, that was weird. When's the diploma part necessary? They could just skip ahead to the "junior counselors in their free time" bit?

My final thoughts:

Horse Play was cringe humor done right.

Non-Compliant Cause was cringe humor done horribly wrong.

This however.... felt like a "in the Middle" episode, the cringe humor in the first half wasn't painful, but felt a little mundane. I think they should have been a little more time spent with Cozy Glow to get a better feel for her character. The resolution felt a little passe.

I give this episode of 5 out of 10.
