"Infamous outlaw Troubleshoes Clyde returns to terrorize the Appleloosa rodeo and the Cutie Mark Crusaders set out to bring him to justice and finally get their cutie marks."
Well that answers the question about Episode 4 earlier that Applebloom actually gets stressed about still not having hers. Still though, with those episodes so close to eachother there's definitely more of a focus on it this time. The last time two episodes were so close together when the CMC's focus was getting their Cutie Marks was arguably in Season 1 when Stare Master and Show Stoppers aired on back-to-back weeks. If the CMC don't get their Cutie Marks this season somehow, then these two episodes are just going to have a similar problem with Show Stoppers that we know their talents by now and continued frustration with the characters not getting the point yet even after over 100 episodes. Which is why I think this is just another clue we'll be seeing the CMC Cutie Marks sooner or later. Cause they're only reminding us that they've been dragging it along yet another season goes Cutie Mark-less for the CMC.
