I'll probably get a lot of flame for this (again), but I just fail to see how this is everyone's fave chapter of Breakdown. All it does is making Pinkie from a 'screaming psycho' to a 'punching psycho'. And furthermore, the rest of the M6 couldn't really be blamed for her condition. One has to admit that keeping a surprise for Pinkie, well... a surprise would be majorly difficult. Not to mention they never directly hurt her. Her craziness near the end was mostly caused by her jumping to conclusions and Spike's idiocy. The worst they actively did to her was Applejack lying (or trying to) in her face at the barn.

I've read the other two (well, three) chapters and I enjoyed them infinitely more. Rainbow had a strong reason to be hurt. Twilight did too, but I think Pinkie's chapter is just overblowing the original issue.

Have you considered doing any new "Breakdown" stories, like with Season 3-5? I feel like this has the potential to be ongoing, given how rushed 22-minute cartoon plotlines and resolutions tend to be.

“Don’t you play dumb with me , you insensitive, obsessive-compulsive bitch!” Pinkie shouted. “You all have been making excuses and ignoring me all day! Avoiding me, lying to me, running away from me! I finally figured it out, and interrogating Spike gave me proof! That you don’t want to be my friends anymore!”

Technically Pinkie, you made Spike say, “You’re friends are avoiding you because they don’t like your parties and don’t want to be your friends anymore!” Which deluded you into thinking that it was true so...that was really your own fault, just sayin’.

“A-And you know what?” Pinkie continued, tears starting to come to her rage-filled eyes, as the gold of corruption slowly spread inward across the irises. “I’ll bet you were never my friends to begin with! You just kept me around to laugh at or out of convenience! None of you could ever really stand me! I was just an annoyance to you! That’s how it’s always been! No-one ever tries to understand me! No-one takes me seriously unless they have to! I’m just a pain in the ass and a big joke to all of you!!”

With you act around me ponies most of the time, I’m not surprised.
