Recap Episode 3, Part 1 The last episode before we last left our heroes, they used a convenient flashback potion to stop assassin vines, and they lost the elements of harmony and got a Tree Co. crate. In episode 3 Twilight is looking for info on the crate, and/or the keys needed to unbox it. This is because she thinks she might get an unusual. Our heroine receives a letter from Princess Celestia telling her to get her ass to the castle in the Everfree Forest. There, Spike gets scared by a alicorn statue and some spiders, before the theme starts.

Friends……………………….

Scene change

Now we see Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash competing to see who is the baddest motherfucker in Ponyville. Some asshole, who I think was that guy in episode 41, prevents them from completing their task. Asshole. But fear not, because Pinkie is to the rescue!

PP: The score is a tie.

RD: A tie?

PP: That’s what I said.

RD: FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU Scene Change No, not really

So to continue the competition they decide to do stuff in the castle in the Everfree Forest. Because a forest filled with monsters is apparently safe enough go to casually.

Scene change for real

Rarity and Fluttershy (Also, Angel) are also doing stuff in, guess what, the bloody castle in the bloody Everfree Forest. Rarity wants to steal all the stuff in the castle, and Fluttershy wants to go home.

Annnnnnnnnnnnd back to Twilight and Spike for like ten seconds. Rainbow Dash and Applejack time. AJ gives exposition about the Pony of Shadows, thus tricking the viewer into thinking there will be more Castlevania references in the episode. Rainbow Dash points out that the description of it is basically a ghost, but AJ tries to make it sound scarier.

Back to Rarishy. Rarity decides the first thing she will loot is a tapestry, and the audience is left wondering when the shenanigans are going to start. They are satisfied as Fluttershy gets caught in a trap revolving door, thus proving that the GM of this game is a masochist.

Those spiders with the stars were kinda obvious and Fluttershy even mentions them... then they do nothing. Next episode or lost plot device?

Recap Episode 3 Part 2 Back to Apple Dash, who almost immediately lose the competition. They follow the longstanding plan B of rpg parties, which is run like hell. Also, RD forgets she can fly.

RD: Run!

AJ: Fly, you fool!

RD: What?

AJ: Fly!

RD: How do I do that?

AJ: *Eye twitch*

But then the players yell at the GM to stop splitting the party, and Fluttershy is deposited back with Rarity and Angel. They talk about stuff and things, and then Angel activates a pit trap, proving that they have a killer GM for this session (The rpg jokes never stop). Luckily, the damage dice for falling damage are still cursed, so they survive. But, then again, the druid is going to get killed by the first monster they fight without an animal companion to act as a wall.

Back to the Big Girls. Rainbow Dash and Applejack lie about not being scared (How is AJ the element of honesty again?). They change the terms of the competition to however leaves the castle first loses, and has to wear a dress for a month.

Back to the Main Characters of Season 1 and 3. They are reading books (Actually, that’s kind of implied for any appearance of TS). Angel meets up with them, and once again, Angel and Spike have conflict. *Cough* Buffy *Cough*. They open a secret door, and *insert rpg joke here*. They find a book with Sun Butt’s and Moon Butt’s cutie marks on it, and they read it.

Cut to the Lancer and Big Girl. RD has apparently remembered how to fly, and she uses her wing to slowly descend into darkness. They have an argument over who is less scared, and I believe it is AJ, because she has a higher wisdom score. They mistake unlit torches for disembodies pony legs, and they try to hide from whatever, and roll a nat 1.

We finally go back to the Rogue and Druid, and they are covered in darkness except for their glowing eyes. Rarity casts Light on her horn, and we see that they are in a hollow rectangular prism.

For on-topic cheese, we could guess how this Apple Family member got his cutie mark.

Some asshole, who I think was that guy in episode 41
Not episode 41, but episodes 40 and 45.

Recap Episode 3 Part 3 We switch perspectives back to who seem to have the most screentime this episode, and by that I mean RD and AJ. Rarity sticks her hoof in a hole in the wall, and because this episode runs on contrived coincidences she puts her hoof on RD, scaring the two losers of the baddest motherfucker in Ponyville competition. Fluttershy manages to get team light yellow out of the pit trap, and Rarity rage quits the castle. Fluttershy wants to stay out of concern for Angel ( After Hurricane Fluttershy I wouldn’t give a damn about what happens to that evil bunny). Of course, the scene cuts to angel committing gluttony, while Twilight reads Sun Butt’s and Moon Butt’s diary.

Switch to team cowards. They find the Pony of Shadow playing an instrument that was mentioned in the book of plot importance. And so does team purple (And Angel).

Its FS and Rarity again. They are looking for Angel. Rarity finds something perfect for her to Grewhawk.

Now, we see the aftermaths of RD and AJ running like hell again. They find armor that looks slightly like TS. Applejack finds a trap door, by falling into it, and so does Rarity.

GAKGAKGAKGAKGAKGAKGAKGAKGAKGAKGAKGAKGAKGAKGAKGAKGAKGAKGAKGAKGAKGAKGAKGAK

Rarity has a fit of directionless rage, and RD is very scared, because her wisdom score is shit. She knocks over a suit of armor and then flies, that fool. Fluttershy is scared by Rarities disappearance and the +5 pipe organ of ominousness. AJ makes her way back into the armor room. She walk down the scary corridor of doom.

We cut back to Rarity, who is still in a fit of directionless rage. FS, and AJ a very scared, while RD tries to take the hitting approach to solving this problem. And by that I mean she attacks the castle. Everypony except the purple team bump in to eachother, and then chaos ensues. I would make the obligatory joke about discord escaping if this wasn’t post episode 63.

Cut to purple team. Spike is very scared, and TS starts to catch on that something is going on. She finds the chaos, and uses her gamebreaker powers to solve the plot of the episode in seconds. Again. The gang (Minus PP) go through the paranoia debriefing of laying the blame on each other for everything that happened in the episode. They are stopped before someone loses a clone by the +5 pipe organ of ominousness, and go off to find out who is playing it. (Hint: it’s the pony who isn’t with them). They send Twilight in, forgetting that Druids can’t cast rez spells. And its Pinkie Pie playing it, and it starts to sink in that there wasn’t any Castlevania references in this episode. Anyways, its revealed that PP only had to ring the school bell for 5 minutes so that she didn’t get brain damage. PP says a lot of stuff really fast. Spike takes 1 non-lethal damage.
