Alright, so ClassicDrogn was kind enough to drop this in another thread...
Also, as promised, I went ahead and started reviewing some of the episodes in chronological order.
In Episode 8 (Look Before You Sleep) I don't see Garrick really doing much. In fact, this will probably be the time he first visits Canterlot and Spike is the one guiding him. This would be the Royal Business that Twilight is speaking of - she has given Spike a translation spell so he can understand and speak with Garrick, and has forwarded a copy of the spell to the Princess.
At this point, a number of things are worked out for Garrick. First, an attempt is made to send him back, but it fails. In the wake of that, he is granted refugee status in Equestria and a temporary living space in Ponyville while he adjusts. A publicity officer is assigned to him to not only keep the press at bay, but keep them satisfied enough that he'll be left alone in general. They also work out his dietary needs - lots of protein-rich foods like eggs, nuts, and legumes, as well as fish and seafood, in addition to the normal pony diet... well, minus the grass products. Fiber is good, but that's a little too much. :p
In Episode 6 (Boast Busters) he comes back in time to warn Trixie to just focus on what she does best: being a good show pony. Of course, she brushes him aside (she thinks he's stupid because he talks like a baby - she doesn't understand he's only been learning their language for a week or so), so Garrick resorts to making sure Snaps and Snails don't awaken the Ursa Minor. It works, but... things between Trixie and the town start to devolve, and then Trixie calls out Garrick, asking him what he's so good at.
"What good at? Many thing. Good worker, good fixer, good metal maker. Most good thing... be good person. I no showoff. Just work."
Trixie practically has a meltdown with how Garrick not only fails to raise to her bait, but throws it right back into her face. Later that night, Snaps and Snails manage to get by Garrick and wake up the Ursa Minor. But when the Ursa is starig down Trixie, Snaps and Snails, it gets a surprise when Garrick comes out of nowhere, climbs on its back, and strarts scratching at all those oh-so-hard to reach spots. Afterwards, The gather all the Unicorns and levitate the blissed-out Ursa back to its cave and Trixie leaves town... this time taking her wagon with her.
In Episode 5 (Griffon the Brush-Off) Garrick finds Gilda when she tries to intimidate Fluttershy. That... doesn't go over very well for Gilda.
See, thing to remember is the scale we're dealing with here. Garrick will be about twice as tall as most ponies... which means he's going to be absolutely huge compared to Gilda... and just one of those hands of his is gonna fit just right around her neck. So while he's holding her clear of the ground by said neck, he warns her to quit being a pest... or else. that kinda derails things as Gilda then starts investigating this strange creature known as Garrick and wondering exactly what sort of threat he is. Of course, Gilda winds up asking Rainbow about Garrick, tells her about what happened between them (while omitting certain details), and then Rainbow comes after Garrick... and finds out that he can not only take a beating, but also give as good as he gets.
"The Buck!? Your bones made out of steal or something!?""... No. Diamond."RBD and everyone else
((( ;°?°)))) ?????(?_?) ???(+?? ° ?? ? ?? ° ??)
Garrick eventually manages to get Dash to hear his side of the story... but not until the two of them look like they've gone five rounds with Mike Tyson. And then there is the confrontation between Dash and Gilda. Without the whole town being involved in publicly shaming her, Gilda takes it a bit better and sticks around... though mostly because she's interested in Garrick still - anyone that can lay the smack-down like he did and still go about his day afterwards has her respect (albeit grudgingly) and she wants to learn more about this strange creature.
Ironically, Garrick will have RBD's loyalty after this.
Thoughts so far?

Found it:
So, that would be 1, 2, 8, 6, 5, 9, 3, 7, 21, 4, 15, 12, 14, 10, 13, 19, 22, 17, 16, 24, 11, 23, 25, 26, 18
... and there's assertions that parts of s2 and s3 should go in there as well!
