Wild Manes

Okay so... what exactly is going on? You made two new flavors, messed up this batch, except every horse in town ordered a batch?

Like did you just send these out as a promotion to be tried? Or did everyhorse for some reason order a batch of these despite you pretty much JUST making them...

Yeah seeing some holes in the plot.

That aside, it's not bad. Yeah we see those two horses we still don't know the names of. I imagine we'll get an episode focused on them eventually.

Stealing sweets. This is a new low point for Cocoa.

What's wrong with the macrons?!

"We're doing you a favor, Tilly!" "...Did they just call me fat?"

"I'm the worst macron baker in the world" Well, look on the bright side. You are stuck in a nowhere town. So, at least your terrible-ness is safely contained far away from most people?

"Cocoa, stop talking to your imaginary friends and help me fix this mess!"

"We're your favorites? Really?"

The morning rush consists of about 6 horses. Cherie just hates cleaning up.

"Yumucky" I could actually see this new word catching on.

But, they're horses. Shouldn't they like the extra salt? They famously enjoy salt licks.

Well...maybe you could sell them as dog biscuits? If anyone in this town actually had a dog, that is.

"No, as part of the baker's code, I must exile myself for this disgrace."

...Cherie has a delivery horse? She has a employee? She makes enough money to be able to HIRE someone to do this? How?!

We literally have nothing better to do today!

Well, we know how all that salt got into the macrons. These macrons are the flavor of her despair!

"Cowabunga!" She's helping!

Cocoa's really getting her money's worth for that cable she installed in Dreamer's bedroom.

It's a good thing there aren't any cops in this town, or else somebody might catch us.

I refuse to believe that Cherie actually sold that many boxes of macrons. Every horse in this town must have a dozen cavities each. How did Cherie not notice that she was using THAT MUCH salt instead of sugar? She's right, she really is the worst baker.

Well, great, now they've contaminated the water supply.

Well, at least it's very pretty pollution.

Stealing, polluting the environment, misrepresenting a product. These horses are terrible role models.

...How is she going to explain that she somehow magically knows that all her customer's macrons went mysteriously missing? This horse is terrible at crime.

They're going to eat the entire cart worth of macrons aren't they?

What happens if you eat all three?

Horse: *whining* I'M SO HAPPY! I THINK I'LL RACE AROUND! BOO HOO HOO!

Oh...poor Tilly. She's lost her ONE THING. That's all these ponies have, and if they lose it, who even ARE they anymore?! Their entire sense of identity is wrapped up in what they do!

Okay, now I feel bad. Someone please give Tilly a hug.

So, is this a "opposite day" episode or a "off day" episode?

Finley? Happy? And confident?! This is a world gone MAD! MAD, I SAY!

Cherie, you're a baker. What could you have POSSIBLY done in order to make everyone act strangely out of character as if they were on...oh. Oh, you're going to jail.

*It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia theme plays* The Gang is Baked.

It's so nice that this business is SO vacant that she can just do spring cleaning whenever she likes.

The Secret Book of Macaron Secrets! Another of these cursed books of eldritch lore, just like Dreamer had. They really need a goth librarian in this town or something.

Did this suddenly become a Breaking Bad parody?

Cocoa will be your lab rat! Cocoa's up for anything! Cocoa is SO BORED!

Sniffling Spongecake? Eh, I guess if you need to take a sick day. Win Every Game Grape? That's just steroids. Joyous Jelly? That's the good stuff, right there. That'll cost you extra.

...What happens if you eat ALL of them? Inquiring minds want to know!

So...they just so happen to have eaten the macarons that switched their personalities, basically. Bailey's usually the "happy" one. Tilly's usually the "competitive" one. And Finley's usually the..."bundle of nerves", but we can just call that "sad", I guess?

"Everything's so beautiful! I can SMELL COLORS!" Someone just put on some Pink Floyd, and let Finley ride this until it's out of her system.

"Finley's never THAT decisive!" Harsh, but true. Maybe you should help your friend, Cocoa.

"I just ran around Wild 27 times!" Okay, well, maybe she'll sweat it out of her system. Bailey's in for a brutal comedown.

"I found a poor little rock! It's all alone in the world." No rock is ever alone, Tilly. For every rock is made up of smaller rocks! That's just science! Methinks Tilly might be projecting a bit here.

"And FINLEY...she's about as joyous as a horse can GET!" Why does Cocoa make this sound like a bad thing? This might actually be a improvement for Finley! Let Finley be happy, Cocoa!

"NO FLAVOR...AT ALL?!" This is a personal insult to Cherie and her entire way of life.

Why do I get the feeling Cherie was ready to start bopping everyone on the head with that there rolling pin?

Oh, and now that Bailey is starting to get over that she gets REALLY sleepy. Yeah, there's no metaphor here AT ALL! Oh well, Bailey seems like she should be used to this kind of thing.

"Only my rock understands me. Hard on the outside. But, hiding a soft inner core."

Tilly just ABANDONED her rock. Great, now I feel bad for the rock.

Why? I get the others, but Finley was finally happy! Why must you maintain the status quo, Cocoa?!

"Ha Ha ha...so...is anyone else getting cravings for more of these macarons? C'mon, just one more, PLEASE! You can't cut me off like this cold turkey, man!"

Friends don't let friends eat macarons! Not even ONCE! WAY too much sugar, clearly.

Everyone's being weird. Poison Joke?

But it is spring in our time. Tell Your Tale would have gotten that right.

What an odd recipe. You must try this immediately.

Why did the author publish the recipe for the sad one. Who would want that?

So once again Cherie didn't try her own cooking before letting her friends be the guinea pigs. She is awful at her job.

Uh, Finley, only the first one's free.

Everyone is being weird, but Finley being decisive is a bridge too far for Cocoa.

Poor rock.

Why is Cocoa even wondering? She saw the names of the recipes in this cookbook. Put 2 and 2 together.

... Did you not read the recipes in their entirety before you tried them?

Do they really need to fix everyone? Tilly is the only one not having fun with this.

They're going to hide this book in a place no one in this town will ever look. I was going to make a joke but I lost where I was going with it.

Everyone laughs.


It might have been fun to see more of the cast like this. This episode didn't get to do enough with the concept.
