Shining Armor and Princess Cadance are set to be married, but Twilight Sparkle has just discovered a dark secret about the bride-to-be.

Twilight Sparkle tracks down Starlight Glimmer in the past and tries to find a way to stop her revenge plot.

When the ponies decide to go on a camping trip, Queen Chrysalis creates evil clones of the Mane 6 to help her steal the Elements of Harmony so she can use their power to get revenge on Starlight.

Princess Celestia and Princess Luna decide to retire and hand off the ruling of Equestria to Twilight Sparkle and her friends, which sends Twilight into a tailspin of self-doubt. Meanwhile, an ancient villain bands together a legion of nefarious characters to conquer all of Equestria, challenging Twilight Sparkle and the rest of the Mane 6 to step in and save the day.

As Twilight and the rest of the Mane six struggle to come to terms with the destruction of the Tree and Elements of Harmony, King Sombra sets his sights on conquering all of Equestria.

Grogar sends his legion of doom on a mission to become allies, but his plan works too well and they almost become friends.

Twilight is determined to make Celestia and Luna's last Summer Sun Celebration memorable, but things start going horribly wrong.
