Sure, the episode ends well; Fluttershy finds the cure by following the steps that Meadowbrook discovered long ago (including her mistakes: the stings from the golden bees by failing with the first try), using the mystical mask in order to obtain the honey that would work as the cure/antidote for such terminal disease that in this universe, has even WORSE consequences that death itself. The only parts that will make this more digestible and bearable for a kids show are the comedy parts that Twilight delivers throughout the episode (cooking, her reactions displaying amazement towards the discovery...).

The rest of the episode consists in a desperate quest about Fluttershy sacrificing her own energies in order to save a friend from an avoidable task that she asked and made Zecora run into really serious trouble (to the point of not seeing Zecora again). Fluttershy has always received those recurrent complaints of her trying to be assertive and trying to get rid of her shyness. This happened until more or less Filli Vanilli (Season 4). From the It Ain´t Easy Being Breezies, she wouldn´t raise that problem and she would overcome her own mentality and dive into future matters with more confidence and a natural behavior, without bringing up her track record.

By the time season 7 happened, this would become obvious with Fluttershy Leans In, in which her attitude would display that confidence and prove how far she has gone. However, A Health of Information, not only she displays bravery while facing the golden electrical bees, she goes all that far to sacrifice herself for a friend that she reaches the point of going fully reckless without resting at all. She displays the complete opposite without forcing that confidence (even more strength than Twilight and Cattail expected while she was sick), she is able to do anything and face the obstacles without caring about her own health. Not only her past flaws have vanished but you seriously wonder if the Fluttershy that has progressed throughout the show is the same one as the yellow pony Twilight knew in the premiere.

Again, only the humor is the saving grace for reminding you about the fact that this is MLP and not reality. This aspect gets the job done for dealing with this matter but as for the rest, you might have mocked at MLP for being childish and such...but try to laugh at it while watching this episode. For sure, you won´t find such mindset all that rewarding as one outsider could do back in 2010-14.

I also raise the question of Equestria being a desirable place to begin with. /endpone/ has brought up the topic of the process of turning the Everfree Forest into an average place. That process of normalization in which ponies would visit said place more often after fearing it for so long. While this point is normally brought up, I ask this question: why wasn´t the Everfree Forest feared because of this disease?

Ponies have held an irrational mindset towards the Everfree Forest yet I am asking, why don´t they have fears towards it because of what happened in this episode? While this place looks isolated and no one lives there except a Meadowbrook relative(Cattail) who happens to clean a house, this disease doesn´t bother all that much the characters in this episode yet anyone would rationally have genuine fears towards a disease that implies death.

Pretty funny to think about it, when one is desensitized towards this matter that should worry about yet the main characters don´t display such fears towards a genuine matter that causes heavy health issues for real. While no one lives there, I seriously wonder why no one else has come up with the idea of grabbing a flamethrower and get rid of the trees that would cause the swamp fever. At least, the disease has a pretty spotty location but with more troublesome consequences in exchange.
