The Perfect Pear

"The Perfect Pear" is the thirteenth episode of the seventh season of animated television series My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic as well as the one hundred and fifty sixth overall.

Written by Joanna Lewis and Kristine Songco, and directed by Denny Lu and Mike Myhre, the episode saw the guest-starring of William Shatner and Felicia Day.

The plot of the episode centers around Applejack, Big McIntosh and Apple Bloom, who find out how their now deceased parents met and gather information about their extensive background.

When Apple Bloom comes home with pear jam, Applejack and Big McIntosh start to panic and immediately try to hide it.

In response to this, Bright Mac and Pear Butter held a secret wedding ceremony that was discovered by their parents as soon as they were married.

After hearing the story of their parents, the Apple siblings arrange a meeting between Granny Smith and a now remorseful Grand Pear, allowing them to make up.
