* EvilCounterpart: Post Crush to Sunset and Pinkie. K-Lo is the serious cool one and Su-Z is the wacky and fun one. However, K-Lo is a perfectionist who has no tolerance for Su-Z's antics and insists they keep repeating the day until things go perfect, and Su-Z doesn't care about K-Lo's concerns and doesn't take their performances seriously.

* NoodleIncident: Apparently Sonata started a fire with the toaster once by trying to make tacos with it.

to:

* HowTheMightyHaveFallen: The Dazzlings have gone from dangerous magical threats to living in a crappy van, making money doing concerts.
* KarmicJackpot: Because Sunset mends fences with Pinie for the final loop, the time loop is stopped and she and Pinkie get to join Postcrush on stage.
* NiceToTheWaiter: Because Sunset was nice to the security guard in the final loop, he lets her and Pinkie back into the concert area.
* NoodleIncident: Apparently Apparently, Sonata started a fire with the toaster once by trying to make tacos with it.


Added DiffLines:

* PrecisionGuidedBoomerang: Pinkie Pie throws a rock-hard churro like a boomerang and manages to hit the Time Twirler in K-Lo's hair.


Added DiffLines:

* RippleEffectProofMemory: Sunset retains her memory of the loops because she happens to be close enough to the Time Twirler to be affected by its magic the first time it's activated.


Added DiffLines:

* SayingTooMuch: Su-Z is surprised when Sunset and Pinkie Pie are not the usual delivery guy, then is immediately silenced by K-Lo. This clues Sunset in to the pair being responsible for the loop.

* AnAesop: PerfectionIsImpossible. Things will never go exactly the way you want them to. You have to learn to adapt and make changes, especially if your friends are involved.
* ArcWords: "Perfect."



* GroundhogDayLoop: The main source of conflict in this special. After missing Postcrush due to Pinkie Pie, Sunset wishes she had another chance to see them. Equestrian magic promptly sticks Sunset back at the beginning of the first day, letting her have another chance.

It turns out to be K-Lo and Su-Z using a device called the Time Twirler to relive the same day over and over until they get their performance right.



* RedHerring: Sunset first suspects the Dazzlings of being behind the GroundhogDayLoop, especially when she overheard Adagio say that "the loop is working." It soon becomes clear that the Dazzlings have nothing to do with it; the "loop" Adagio was talking about was in their backing track.
