> Gralo (hidden inside the griffon)
While this is hidden from the viewers until very late in the comic, I do appreciate how it was played out, although a broadly-scifi-read viewer should guess about the fused/possessed nature earlier. But we are seeing this from, largely, Nahmat's viewpoint, who doesn't think of this possibility until the Celly/Nat confrontation near the end.

> teaching both the couple and the royal sisters the power of Insight.
Watching the newlyweds work through the puzzle was adorable and a little bit amazing.
Also, for some of what Insight offers, I seem to have assumed it was available also -- you'll find in War Of Another World in the nearby thread, a pegasus guard who can identify spells as their magic dissipates, which is a similar idea.

> Telling Celesita her flaws to her face
Nahmat is a bit rough around the edges, her youth showing in the form of a self-assured naiveté. Still, I feel that the show either blew through, or skirted around all the very poignant points brought up in that section.
Was it in s6 that the Sisters got bodyswapped? It helped us (me) believe the Sisters were ponies, and still experienced friction as you'd expect but believe too, they'd finally confronted it, and each other, to resolve the matter more fully. Still, before then I was inclined to believe the show didn't properly address the earlier friction that lead to the NMM incident.
