Is there a preview clip out and I'm just missing it, or are Hasbro and Discovery Family keeping even more quiet this week? Last week's first clip didn't appear until Thursday evening.

Rainbow Dash's opening line in that clip has her sounding so annoyed and unamused that, for a second, I almost thought Ashleigh Ball was just phoning in that line read. I guess that's a testament to her acting skills, actually. :ponder:

Twilight actually mentioned Gilda.

Could this episode be the sequel to "Griffon the Brush Off"?

Based on the way she said it, they seemed to have been talking about Gilda's visit before where the clips starts. And it would connect reasonably with Dash's lack of interest and enthusiasm about seeing griffons. And it's specifically Pinkie and Dash who were called. And the titular treasure is likely the idol that represents unity.

Is it me or does that tree protrusion look a bit like that concept art of a tree castle we saw as far back as season 3?

Design recycle?

Equestrian imperialism has gone too far. The map sent Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash to hear Griffonstone's calls for sovereignty and freedom.

One thing I wonder is how long the writers have wanted the show to visit the homeland of the griffons. After all, their kind was introduced in what was literally the fifth episode of the show. But since none of the Mane Six have any ties to griffons aside from Rainbow Dash and Gilda, and since that bridge kinda got burned in that episode, until now there's really been no useful way for our heroes to visit the griffons.

Something about that clip reminded me really strongly of season one, and it wasn't the callback to GtBO.

Is that really the first time Pinkie Pie has called her "Dashie"? I could have sworn that's been used in the show before, but maybe not.

:cheese: She's not a tree, Dashie!

:offendash: That's one creepy little gravy boat, if you ask me!
:glare: Oh, come on now, Dashie. You're not even giving this a chance!

:-) Coming in, Dashie? The water's great, it's totally wet and everything!
:effort: I don't know... Cloud busting was tougher work than usual today. I'm kind of exhausted.

After seeing the clip, I now think that the episode is just going to focus on Twilight's jealousy, and any potential world building for griffons might be wasted :-/

That'll be pretty disappointing if that comes true...

Nah, the synopsis specifically mentions Rainbow Dash and Pinkie having a conflict.

Envy's not really a side of Twilight that we've seen too much, so an episode about that might be interesting, but not as interesting as the first episode featuring Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash since S1 and the first episode ever to heavily feature griffons.

Twilight chooses to come along.

Because the map only wanted Dash and Pinkie, Twilight coming ends up screwing everything up. Griffonstone falls. Thousands perish.

Alright, we get to see Pinkie baking again! :awesomedash:

Also, more Gummy moments are always appreciated. I'd love it if, when Pinkie gets back, he makes a perfect cake. That facefault at the end was perfect. :lol:
