Rainbow Dash unclogs the toilet and cleans the clouds. Pound, despite being in timeout, is laughing and likes staying with Rainbow Dash. Rainbow Dash then tells Pound never to pee (or poop for that matter) on clouds or flush them again, and never to tell a soul about the day's events.
Pound is then picked up and the Apples bring both twins back. Pinkie Pie, upon hearing of Pumpkin and Winona's antics, remembers a time she acted like a puppy for Marble, which prompts Applejack to suggest Pinkie take the twins to visit her sisters and parents in Ponypalooza. Pinkie Pie thinks that maybe she will take them in the near future, and reveals that the toilet is now working.
That night, Pound needs to go to the bathroom again, this time for number two, and a voice claims that it lives in the toilet and watches ponies poop. This understandably disgusts Pound and the voice explains that it is the "butt ghost", who goes up ponies' butts and lives there when they sit on the toilet and disappears if they wipe.
Pound initially doesn't believe in ghosts, but then the ghost flushes the toilet, proving that it is a real ghost. Pound finishes his business and runs away.
The next morning, Pound tells Pumpkin, but she thinks he's lying as part of a prank. However, Pinkie Pie then screams from upstairs and proclaims that the butt ghost is real. She empties Pound's potty, which the butt ghost hates, and decides to contact Twilight and take the twins to Ponypalooza while the situation is being dealt with.
