Episode 41	The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000	Aired: January 28 2012
At Fluttershy's house during the night, Fluttershy awakens to a knock at the door, or rather window as Rainbow Dash bursts through and escorts Fluttershy out, explaining that Cider Season is about to start and about her jealousy towards Pinkie Pie getting cider without her. She arrives shocked to see she isn't alone and Pinkie Pie shares her excitement. Her hopes that they don't run out of cider only amplifies RD's anger. Waiting in line, Spike and Twilight are excited but Spike is looking forward to Sapphire Season more and shortly are told that Cider Season is open. After Pinkie pie dumps her cash and receives the equally large stash of cider mugs, the line move forward with RD getting anxious all the while. Unsurprisingly to RD, when she cashes in, the cider runs out (in all fairness, I'd settle for that much even, perhaps getting it at half-price) and an uproar starts as others complain that they've run out in years prior. Just when Pinkie Pie basks in her memory of the cider she drank and RD is on the verge of probably hurting another pony, a horn sounds and the source comes from a very unusual machine with two ponies at the wheel. Rhyming like Dr. Seuss, they introduce themselves and their machine in a song (probably topping for length and annoyance IMO). For refusing to take their generous offer, they'll have to take part in a competition. Nevertheless, business continues as usual for Sweet Apple Acres. Spike mentions what Granny Smith had said but Applejack isn't so sure.  Once again, they run out (Perhaps they should do something where ponies that had cider during the week do not get to come back until next week so that others get a chance?) and once more, the Flim Flam Brothers and their SSCS 6000 arrive and begin handing out cider but Applejack takes it away, leaving poor RD with cider from the dirt ground. It isn't long before a boasting war begins between Apple Bloom and the Flim Flam Brothers, of which Granny Smith tries warning AB about going too far. GS takes up the challenge when confronted with the chicken insult. The next day, the mayor explains the rules and then the competition begins. However, it's not looking good for SAA, whom has only one barrel to the Flam Brothers' six so Twilight requests to help and is given the okay. She gives her friends their duties and off they go. Their efforts give them a 5 to 3 per-barrel lead over the Flam Brothers so the Flam Brothers take it up a notch and when time expires, Flim and Flam win. The brothers hand out their cider while AJ and her family trot sadly away but their cider doesn't go over well so they head off to the next town, returning SAA to AJ and her family.  As the others bask in the cider, including RD, Applejack recites everything she already knew to Celestia.
