Intro
Warning, do not play the drinking game to all the times I say rock. You'll never make it to the halfway point.

Synopsis
We start off at Sugarcube Corner as all of Pinkie's friends are checking up on her. Pinkie is glad to see them and pulls them in almost missing one Rainbowdash. Apparently Pinkie needs her friends to help taste test her rock candy for her sister Maud Pie who's coming soon. And yeah there is alot to taste and I mean alot. One tummy ache scene later Pinkie is still worried that they won't be finished before Maud comes. Twilight assures Pinkie that Maud will like her rock candy just fine then Pinkie explains that they have of tradition of exchanges rock candy necklaces. Maud taught Pinkie how to make rock Candy, apparently its made from rock, I'm with you Rainbowdash, I was pretty shocked at the discovery. What kind of rocks, apparently it's a secret. Pinkie says they'll all be the bestest friends, tells them how much they have in common and Rarity tells Pinkie there's no one waiting at the train station for Maud. And there goes Pinkie. Pinkies friends up a picnic and Rarity has a new hat, with rocks on it, this is gonna be a theme of the episode isn't it, rocks, I'll never understand fashion. Pinkie arrives and tells them she's coming downhill, in a very slow walk, oh and she's emo. She sniffs a rock declaring it sedimentary, apparent she's a rock sniffer? They try introducing themselves and with her emoness they needless to say feel about as awkward as I do, no joke. They ask if Maud could introduce them to her pet that Pinkie told them she has and So Maud introduces them to her pet rock boulder, they're really milking this rock thing aren't they. The have their picnic, Applejack offers Maud a muffin from a basket and Maud eats a rock, most likely quartz, that fell of Rarity's hat, okay things are getting a little weird. They ask if she plays games, and thus they play camouflauge, which is like playing hide and seek with Boulder in a pile of rocks, and after some hopeless searching Maud finds Boulder, in her pocket, so she's a troll Pinkie then takes Maud to taste her rock candy, and the others talk about how their meeting altogether didn't go so well, so they hang out with her one at a time. Rarity tries to make Maud something, but Maud is fine with a dish towel. Fluttershy takes Maud nature walking to observe animals, they come a cross a spider and Maud is fascinated, at the rock the spider is on. Twilight tries reading poetry with her and Maud recites one of her own, guess what it's about, rocks. Applejack tries getting her to peel apples for some cider, and Maud does so by, hitting it with a rock? Remind me to never get on her bad side. They finish the cider, and Maud says it taste like apple, what , no rock joke? Rainbowdash then has a rock throwing competition with Maud and Maud wins by miles, I really don't want to get on her bad side. They then go to Pinkie pie and say that maybe they just can't be Maud's friends, and Pinkie's hair deflates, whoa, that was a sudden tone shift. Later, Pinkie sees them, is suddenly alright now and brings her friends saying she has something that will bring her sister and friends closer together. Apparently Pinkie has created her own Double Dare course made using her friends interest, or rather stereo typing and has a very complicated name I can't remember. An applesauce tunnel for Applejack, a fabric pit for Rarity, a wall of books for Twilight, an animal poker table for Fluttershy, a what ever the heck that this with cupcakes for you know who, and a rock climb for Maud, with a big rock at the top that so obviously has no intentions of killing anypony I'm sure, and the whole thing is a race track for Rainbowdash. Pinkie's hoof get's caught and you guessed it, rockslide, looks like Pinkie is about to be crushed by Tom's big brother. And it's big sis to the rescue as she runs through the course in record time and chisels the boulder down with her bare hooves, what the *squee*?! Pinkie is saved. Maud then tells Pinkie she and her friends probably can't work out after all and decide to be back home to the rock farm. Pinkie accompanies her on the train and Pinkie's friends feel sorry for Maud leaving early because of them but Twilight thinks of something they do have in common and they surprise Pinkie and Maud on the rock farm. While not being able to really bond as close friends they share something in common, they care for Pinkie, Maud is okay with that and they make rock candy necklaces together. Pinkies friends give Maud their necklaces and I gotta say Rainbowdash's necklace is way cool, Pinkie and Maud exchange necklaces and Maud stores it with the other necklaces Pinkie gave her, apparently she doesn't like candy, but keeps them anyway because she loves her sister. And we end on Pinkie eating her necklace.

Problems
Again, another one of those episodes that didn't have any noticable flaws for me to pick out.

Praises
We do get to learn about one of Pinkie's family members and here's hoping they'll be explored one by one in the future. Maud despite her lack of personality showcase which I'm pretty sure was intentional strangely has a certain charm to it that I just can't explain. The rock jokes while all over the place surprisingly work and even got me cracking smiles. Oh and Maud drilling through a boulder to save her little sister, epic! This is another one of those episodes on the verge of being a higher point but just fell a little short, but still this was a really great episode.

Score
Good
