Harry's adventures with the CMC (involving Timber-Wolves, sofa beds, tree sap and one or two groundings) continue.
Tropes that were grounded for starting a bee infestation are as follows:
- Call-Back: The CMC, while (attempting) to take Harry to meet Zecora, tell him about her introductory episode, specifically how everyone was afraid of her at first, despite her being a perfectly nice zebra.
- Epic Fail: The group's attempt to get Cutie Marks in honey harvesting ends with the forest being set on fire and the town hall being infested with bees.
- "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Harry's experience with Dudley and other bullies means that he's not at all intimidated by Diamond Tiara's brand of bullying. He gets her to leave him and the CMC alone for good with a masterful, scathing speech about how she has no reason to treat them as she does, as they've accomplished many impressive things while searching for their Cutie Marks while all she does every day is throw tea parties.
- Running Gag: Tree sap.
- Unishment: Harry still doesn't see being grounded to the library with nothing but homework to do as a punishment.
