* For example, let's say Starlight's team consists of herself, Spike, Trixie, and the CMC. Starlight would hold Magic (obviously) and the CMC the Elements of their respective older sisters (Scootaloo - Loyalty, Apple Bloom - Honesty, Sweetie Belle - Generosity). Spike would hold Kindness as it is a virtue he has showcased throughout the season (standing up for this virtue against his own kind in Gauntlet Of Fire, showing friendship to Thorax in The Times They Are a-Changeling), and Trixie would be left the element of Laughter, as while not the most comedic, she does have a strong knack for entertainment and bombast.

Both characters were some of the first figures to be featured in the toyline. Not only that, but the Guardians of Harmony flash game has both of them as the two playable characters from the start, while the Mane 6 members who are playable (Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Twilight Sparkle) all have to be unlocked. That may be teasing that the two of them will end up joining forces with Starlight if they are involved with the Guardians of Harmony; Starlight has met Shining Armor during the season, and while she has never encountered Spitfire, Rainbow Dash has told her who she is (and if Starlight does team up with her, it could serve as a BrickJoke where she finally learns who the Wonderbolts are).

* Confirmed.

* Likely jossed. At least, the clone was never brought up and it seems it will remain a one-off gag.




to:

* Jossed. The changeling, Thorax, was an original character who hadn't appeared before the episode.




to:

* Sorta semi-confirmed. It provided a glimpse into Changeling biology and behavior, if nothing else.



It won't happen onscreen, but it will be implied at some point in the episode. It could even end on an ominous note with Chrysalis gloating about how she will soon have her revenge on Cadence and Shining Armor for foiling her attempted coup at Canterlot

The synopsis says that the villain will be “one of the ponies’ oldest and greatest foes.” Now, the first villain was, of course, Nightmare Moon, but the writers are hardly going to make Princess Luna evil again after [[AvertedTrope averting]] [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E2PrincessTwilightSparklePart2 this]] [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS5E13DoPrincessesDreamOfMagicSheep twice]] and making it perfectly clear that she has no interest in doing so whatsoever. The second–oldest major villain would be Discord, but [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E25TwilightsKingdomPart1 they already did a season finale in which he turns evil again]], and he regretted it and thus isn’t likely to do so, either. The third–oldest major villain is Queen Chrysalis, which would make sense since changelings have not only appeared in this season, but also in [[http://mylittlepony.hasbro.com/en-us/media/guardians-of-harmony:D7940403-5056-9047-F52A-5CA828209603 a recent flash game]].

* If we want to be technical, "return" seems to be meant in an in-universe sense, as in the threat being something that is already known to ponykind, but not necessarily to us, the viewers.

[[WMG: This episode will set up either a [[SpinOff spin–off]] or a successor show.]]
It has been known for a while now that [[http://www.equestriadaily.com/2016/03/trademark-news-guardians-of-harmony.html Hasbro has tradedmarked the Guardians of Harmony IP for “an ongoing animated television series for children.”]] Now, [[http://www.equestriadaily.com/2016/09/guardians-of-harmony-just-toy-line.html Jim Miller has claimed that, as far as he knows, Guardians of Harmony is just a toyline]]; however, [[LyingCreator the show creators have denied upcoming stuff before]]. [[http://www.equestriadaily.com/2012/07/meghan-mccarthy-clarifies-her-response.html Meghan McCarthy denied any knowledge of a feature-length My Little Pony movie]] a full four months ''after'' [[http://www.equestriadaily.com/2013/05/equestria-girls-script-appeared-way.html she finalized the script for]] ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls'', and who remembers when [[https://www.derpibooru.org/215481?scope=scpe0dd072dfe484485b5bbb405d135e8700487a6f08 Tara Strong claimed that Twilight Sparkle wouldn’t turn into an alicorn]]?

It probably isn’t a coincidence that they are now announcing an episode in which “Starlight Glimmer assembles an unlikely team of heroes” (the titular Guardians of Harmony?).

The question is whether this new series will be a [[SpinOff spin–off]], in which case both shows will run concurrently for a while, or a successor show, in which case ''To Where and Back Again'' will be the SeriesFinale.

If the former is the case, it might mean that Spike will leave the original show, since, judging by [[http://www.hasbro.com/en-us/product/my-little-pony-guardians-of-harmony-spike-the-dragon:051C34D9-5056-9047-F582-C993A18263F0 the toys]] and [[http://mylittlepony.hasbro.com/en-us/media/guardians-of-harmony:D7940403-5056-9047-F52A-5CA828209603 the new flash game]], he will be one of the Guardians of Harmony. (Also, he will either grow big or gain the ability to grow big.)

The synopsis says that Applejack once told a lie that put the entire Apple family in the hospital. It's likely that while everyone else survived, Applejack's parents were badly hurt as a result of that incident and were barely holding on as a result of it. Applejack's mom probably lived long enough to give birth to Applebloom, but the long-term effects of her injury were so severe that she eventually died like her Dad. In turn, Applejack feels so guilty for having a part in the death of her parents that she makes a vow to them that she will never tell a lie again just to ensure that she never puts anypony else's lives on the line again.

It has to include Sunburst, Thorax, Trixie and Ember. Maybe Discord and Spike. Why? Each of these characters has had at least one or two episodes this season that focus on them and their character development, and thus it would make sense to show how much they've grown.

[[WMG: Starlight and her team will become the new Elements of Harmony.]]
The two-parter's plot is similar to that of the Season 1 premiere, with the main protagonist being a unicorn leading a ragtag group to stop an ancient evil that threatens Equestria. In turn, it wouldn't be surprising if Starlight and her own group will obtain the Elements of Harmony and use them to defeat the antagonist of this two-parter. They could even obtain the Elements directly from the Tree, which tells them that it has grown strong enough to survive without the elements on its branches. By doing this, the Tree will be effectively PassingTheTorch from Twilight to Starlight.

While the Windigoes are oldest to date, it's likely that there are other villains out there who are even older than them, and have existed long before Equestria was founded and Celestia and Luna were made its rulers. These villains were probably beaten by Celestia and Luna when they were much younger, who were perhaps doing so to cement their place as the land's protectors.
