"Revenge is bad. Forgiveness is good." ?

One, the amulet apparently was corrupting Trixie. Two, Trixie had a completely strange turn of face at the end, and then it was shown that she hadn't even improved at all by claiming to be humble and promptly running away. "Great and Apologetic" my foot.

Also, a third moral would be not to abuse power.

Trixie wanted to amulet to get revenge and abuse power in the first place, but when it corrupted her, I assume she went further than she originally intended. When the amulet was removed, the corruption curse was broken and she realized the error of her ways. (Maybe something along the lines of "Wow. I took over Ponyville and banished Twilight when all I really wanted to do was show off and redeem my name as the Great and Powerful Trixie..." Her seeing the error of her harsh ways doesn't mean she's going to magically change her personality. She's an arrogant character.

Do you really need the show to handfeed you a "dear princess Celestia" at the end of every episode to be satisfied with the moral?

EDIT: Besides, morals are subjective anyway. I myself haven't agreed with every single moral the show has put out.

The scene with Trixie shutting Pinkie Pie up is the best thing ever. Props to Trixie.

I knew you'd say something about that.

Pretty good episode, glad FS got a decently large part. Also Twilight and Zecora totally reminds me of Luke and Yoda.
 
so after thinking it over i've decided i don't hate this episode and that it was actually alright (hell it was even better then some of the bottom tier episodes of Lawman) although I still didn't enjoy the 2nd magical duel or the Fluttershy scenes I enjoyed the scenes with Trixie in power and I loved the ending
 
I have to say, I think Trixie's grown on me a little more after this episode. Before this I didn't like her too much, but I think this episode really deepened her character to the point that I can understand her a little more. She showed alot more character in this episode then in her debut appearance I think.
