As the unicorns near the end of the potion making process, Twilight comes up with a plan - though Rainbow is wingless, her speed and agility is what they need to stop the unicorns, so she casts a spell that allows Rainbow to temporarily take control of her own body. Rainbow, now directing Twilight's movements, is able to put on the necessarily bursts of speed to escape, allude the unicorns, and stop them before they destroy her wings in the potion. Twilight quickly undoes her spell, and then replaces Rainbow's wings where they belong. The three unicorns complain about being so close to having their goal, but Twilight further casts a spell that temporarily nullifies their magic ability, forcing them to run away. Rainbow is grateful for her wings back as they fly back to Ponyville.
