This episode was a cliche sitcom stock plot, something scrapped during seasons 2/3 because they had better ideas for episodes back then. "X's hair tonic gets swapped with Y's [Hair removal cream/hair dye/poison/magic potion/science potion]! Hilarity ensues!" is a plot so lazy, I'm pretty sure even post-Seasonal Rot Dexter's Laboratory did it.



This episode's sole splash of creativity was punk Rarity, and even though "What if we make the prim and proper one go punk?" is a cliche as old as "What if the big tough guy is actually a wimp" and "What if the tiny little girl is actually the strongest one"... That one splash of creativity was enough to make this episode the best episode we've had in the past two seasons.
