Now this is what I'm talking about. This episode really recaptured what's been missing lately in MLP and even had a season 1 feeling to it. Spike's greediness has always been my favorite aspect about him and made an excellent plot device. Despite being a filler episode the pacing was perfect without any particular part of the story feeling rushed and wrapped everything up nicely at the end. I even liked all the little fandom nods thrown in too, like Big Mac and Cheerilee walking together, Moondancer, Screw Loose and her Caretaker? and even appearances from Granny smith and Zecora. Even though this was a Spike episode, I'd say this may be my 3rd favorite episode out of season 3 and my second favorite Spike episode overall. (Secret To My Excess is a hard act to follow)
