Episode synopsis from [=Zap2It=].com:

''"Rarity must prove that
While at Canterlot Carousel, Rarity is ready to put out her friend is innocent when new style of dresses inspired by Shadow Spade, an ace detective in a series of novels. Rainbow Dash barges in, making a mess of the new collection. As they clean everything up, Rainbow admits her excitement for an upcoming Wonderbolts aerial show. Rainbow is accused part of the show as a reserve, meaning that if somepony can't make the show, Rainbow can fly in their stead. That evening, Rarity and Rainbow head to the castle for a dinner, where Rainbow is delighted to meet Wind Rider, an old retired Wonderbolt who holds a long distance speed record with the Wonderbolts that still stands. As excited as she is, Rainbow tries to calm herself for the upcoming show, and she heads to bed in the castle's east tower.

The next morning, Spitfire doesn't show up to practice for the show. Soarin explains that Spitfire's mother, Stormy Flare, sent a note that she's fallen sick and won't be attending, while Spitfire is off in search
of a crime cure for her sickness. Rainbow eagerly takes Spitfire's spot in practice, with Rarity watching from the stands. Stormy Flare appears to watch as well, perfectly healthy. She even tells Rarity that she never sent her daughter a note saying she was sick. This leads to some confusion, until Wind Rider suggests that somepony sent Spitfire a fake note to get her out of practice. All eyes fall on Rainbow, who was not shy about her desire to fly with the Wonderbolts. While everypony is suspicious, Soarin gives Rainbow an opportunity to prove she's innocent. But, if Rainbow can't prove she didn't send the note, she'll be kicked out of the Wonderbolts.

Donning an outfit from her new collection reminiscent of Shadow Spade, Rarity helps Rainbow investigate. In the room Rainbow stayed last night, Rarity finds a clipped part of Rainbow's hair, and the curtains in the dining hall have been moved. Rarity and Rainbow also question the guards who were on duty last night. Through some pressing, the guards admit they took a small break when somepony brought them a very specialized cake. Rarity and Rainbow head to the cake shop, where the baker tells Rarity that whoever it was that bought the cake was concealing their identity, except for a scarf that they got a chocolate stain on. Rainbow gets increasingly frustrated at Rarity's seemingly non-sequitur detective work, but Rarity is confident.

Rarity and Rainbow Dash return to the castle, where Rarity accuses Wind Rider of being the one who framed Rainbow to keep her out of the show. While laying out her case, Rarity undoes Wind Rider's tightly-wound scarf, finding the same chocolate stain from the special cake. Wind Rider confesses that he
did not commit."''
