Episode 28	The Return of Harmony (Part 2)	Aired: September 24 2011
At the site of the former labyrinth, Discord is on the ground in hysterics when Pinkie Pie pops up to ask what he's laughing at. These ponies are the most fun he's had in eons and when Pinkie Pie makes a threat that doesn't come out as well as she thought, Fluttershy taunts her with her own "HA HAs". Meanwhile, AJ conjures up a lie about having to split the boulder six ways but Rarity isn't falling for it and kicks her away karate style. Twilight asks why they're all acting like this and insists they stick together but Discord says this is just too interesting while eating popcorn. Twilight protests him to stop for not playing fair (Right on, Twilight!) but Discord questions that by reminding her who he is and what it means to be him (well you, Discord, should come watch robots fighting in a competition because it features discord, chaos and is fair). How can they find the Elements of Harmony  when he took away the labyrinth before the ponies could reach the end? Discord gets another good laugh and time travels to earlier when he first appeared and stated his riddle. Afterwards, he tells Twilight to keep trying, then goes off to cause chaos, which starts as chocolate rain shower, much to Pinkie Pie's detest. While the others argue, Twilight figures out that Discord meant Ponyville was the hiding place for the EoH. Along the way, she is trampled by the Animal Long Legs (as I call them) and Fluttershy remarks of how proud she is of Angel, whom is among the stampede. Later that night, Discord turns the road into what the group finds out is soap and Discord states that these are only a few  of his planned changes for his improved Ponyville. Discord lifts Twilight up to see the future "chaos capital of the world" but it's now too dark to see so he lets go and she plummets back to the soapy road and he tells her to wait a few minutes. Ponyville will not become the chaos capital of the world if Twilight has anything to say about it. Scooting by, Fluttershy assures that won't happen. The next morning, they arrive at Twilight's house but the ponies are now turning grey and most enter unhappily but Rarity takes longer because she suspects Twilight wants the boulder, which she has named Tom. Realizing Rarity isn't going in without the boulder, Twilight carries it inside. Already inside, Fluttershy drenches a sleeping Spike with a bucket of water, explaining that he just looked so peaceful. Twilight gets round two while trying to get them to focus, which also includes the bucket getting placed on her head. Twilight explains to Spike that the need the book containing info on the Elements of Harmony and when he finds it, it's a six pony version of monkey in the middle as they try to keep the book away from Twilight until a fight breaks out amongst them and Twilight finally escapes with the book. To her surprise, the EoH are inside but only she herself cares about it. She quickly puts the elements on their respective owners but with Rainbow Dash MIA, she makes Spike the new RD and puts the last element on him. Spike doesn't like the thought of RD thinking he's impersonating her but Twilight isn't moved by it and they all head outside where Discord uses sarcasm. Taking it like he's being serious, they all manage to get the elements to work but it fizzles out without any effect. Fluttershy tosses her element aside and Rarity steals it without hesitation. Discord applauds them before sliding off on the soapy road, then everyone goes their separate ways but not before Spike is tripped on the way back into the house by Fluttershy. Twilight enters despair and turns grey while chaos ensues around her. Discord appears laughing hysterically about his latest disruption before seeing Twilight's despair and hearing Twilight's declaration that it's not her home anymore and jumps for joy. Inside, Twilight tells Spike to pack is things because they're leaving but Spike can't stop receiving the letters Celestia sent back. As Twilight reads them, her color returns to normal and everything becomes clear. Seeing Spike still tuckered out, she decides to go without him. At AJ's farm, AJ tries telling a lie to the dancing Granny Smith about her friends not helping her take down Discord while Big Macintosh turned puppy digs nearby. Twilight appears, saying that she's ready to help take down Discord but gets licked by Big Macintosh Puppy. Now AJ isn't interested, asking where she was when AJ was taking down Discord. Twilight pins her down and reminds AJ that she isn't a liar both in words and in magic. AJ's color and personality are restored and one by one, the others return to normal too, all but Rainbow Dash, whom isn't even interested in helping so Twilight initiates Plan B in which Fluttershy is supposed to hold Rainbow Dash down while AJ puts the rope around her and Twilight herself puts the spell on her to bring her back to normal. Being Fluttershy, she merely taps on RD's shoulder but when asked about being held against her will, RD darts off and the chase begins. They get a hold of her but because Pinkie Pie didn't secure the rope, she and Rarity are left dangling below. Fluttershy can't go any faster until she hears a few words from Twilight about Discord winning if Rainbow Dash cannot be caught. Success at last and they bring her down to the ground and back to normal, then head off. At his location, Discord has a glass of chocolate rain (literally, but leaves the chocolate rain instead, tossing it aside with an explosion following suit) when the main 6 arrive, leaving him unimpressed until there's a different array of magic from each of them that summons the great rainbow, which turns Discord back into stone and returns Ponyville to normal. Back in Equestria, Celestia makes a speech, then reveals a new stained glass panel that features a similar pattern to the one featuring the vanquishing of Nightmare Moon.
