This episode would’ve made so much more sense if they’d actually switched talents, but found ther new jobs boring and unfulfilling.
 
Did they get memories of working their new jobs, but not the memories of how to do them properly? As it stands, it makes it come across like they saw their cutie marks change and it just never occurred to them that their talents had stayed the same.
 
The whole episode was nonsense. Purportedly, Larson’s original draft was very different from the finished product. Maybe the original was less of a clusterfuck.
