Episode 32	The Cutie Pox	Aired: November 12 2011
Just outside the bowling alley, Apple Bloom announces that they'll get their cutie marks bowling and the other two are excited until their new group name is announced and it takes several names to get it right. Once inside, they don't have much luck (TBH, I wouldn't even know HOW they bowl without fingers). Back outside after finishing, only Scootaloo and Sweetie-Belle are having a good time and nothing they do cheers Apple Bloom up so AB heads into the Everfree Forest, where she trips on what looks to be a root from a tree and chips her tooth. Zecora arrives and after discovering Apple Bloom's problem, she invites her to her house. Zecora's concoction works on Apple Bloom's tooth so AB focuses on the large amount of material Zecora possesses, none of which has what Apple Bloom wants. All the while, Zecora is making another brew for a rooster and his chicks but discovers that she is out of amethyst and heads off to get more while Apple Bloom gazes at the brew's current stage with a more sinister grin. Outside school the next day, AB proudly walks through the playground as SB and Scootaloo discover she has her cutie mark but don't know what it is until AB explains. Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon aren't impressed until another trick is presented to them before the bell rings for class to start. Cheerilee comes out, requesting AB to teach them her tricks (that just shoves authentic education right out the window). Naturally, only Apple Bloom gets the tricks right and agrees to show a few advanced moves while giving DT the more reason to stay angry. On her final trick that converts her hoop into helicopter blades, a 2nd cutie mark appears and AB drops to the ground where DT protests that they aren't real cutie marks and isn't convinced by Cheerilee's words. Still, AB has no problem showing off both talents and brings them to another part of the town.  It's now around dusk when AB decides to go to bed, denying Applejack's request to take her show on the road. However, AJ finds that she cannot sleep and discovers AB in trouble after getting her 3rd cutie mark. Her attempts to make AB stop are in vein so she takes her to see Twilight. As luck would have it, one of Twilight's books does have info on it but not all of it good, including that no known cure exists. After the 4th cutie mark appears, they take AB to see Zecora but it's delayed by each cutie mark and talent AB picks up. When the others hear about AB's disease, they dart for cover. By sheer luck, Zecora arrives, explaining why she's here and gives AB her question about the missing items. Before AB can answer, more cutie marks appear and she's off to work again. Zecora has them plant the Seeds of Truth and only Pinkie Pie comes forth to admit what she did but nothing happens with the seeds until AB admits the truth herself and devours the flower that appears, causing all the cutie marks to vanish. She's never been happier to be a Blank Flank and agrees to write her letter to Celestia with Spike but after the letter is sent, they race off to find Zecora after concluding that the wait is too long.
