one of the most infamous and hated episodes of the show.... and for good reason, too.
where to even start with this thing? it gets EVERYTHING wrong! literally everything! from the lame premise, to the horrible execution, the brutal butchering of the characters, the pathetic "comedy", the Student 6 being pushed to the sidelines, the mean-spirited tone.... i literally can't think of anything they got right in this episode.
people say this one would've been better if it happened during the earlier seasons (like from S1-S3), but for me personally: i think it would've been better if Non-Compete Clause NEVER happened at all. like seriously, you could delete the episode from the overall canon, and nothing would change. no value would be lost.
this episode is nothing more than a waste of time and space.

THE NEXT DAY:
CRYSYAL EMPIRE:
Saten: Me?
Twilight: Yes.. Starlight really seems to like you, so you can be the one to help Starlight find her old friend, Sunburst.
Saten: ... Can I bring Derpy?
Twilight: (giggles) of coarse you can.. But Spike is going two, I don't have any jobs for him.
Saten: Fine, fine.
Twilight: Then it's settled! Shining Armor and I will head straight to the castle, and you two can head straight to Sunburst's!
Spike: Aye-aye, Princess!
Starlight: [nervously] Uh-huh.
Twilight: (to Shining) Alright, big brother, let's go see this amazing baby pony!
Shining Armor: [snoring] Ahhh... the baby...
