My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic - 2x17 - Hearts and Hooves Day

    The three younger ponies, Apple Bloom, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle, decide to find a match for their unattached teacher, Cheerilee.  After looking around, they decide to set her up with Big MacIntosh.  When their initial meeting is awkward, the girls decide to use a love potion.  It works, but it keeps them absurdly focused on each other.  In order the break the spell, the girls work to keep the pair apart for an hour.
    This is a fun episode, even though it barely has any of the primary characters in it.  I think the only one that appears is Twilight Sparkle.  I don't care too much for the younger ponies, but the fun of a love potion plot is enough to make up for it.  There's a good song, which uses a lot of very fun animation and designs.  When Big Mac is talking cutsy, he wrinkles his nose a bit.  It's an excellent touch.
    This episode also builds Cheerilee a little more than she had been.  I mostly like that she rolls her eyes a little when she tells the kids that she doesn't have anyone special in her life.
