Episode 52	A Canterlot Wedding (Part 2)	Aired: April 21 2012
In a dark area, Twilight learns she's now in a cave beneath Canterlot, and with little knowledge from others of their existence, they're ideal for keeping others from ruining Princess Cadence's plans for her own brother. The only way Twilight can stop her is to catch her but ends up shattering the one wall revealing a 2nd Princess Cadence. Understandably so, Twilight doesn't believe it until Cadence recites their childhood poem. Both Cadences sing a song about their perfect day only the one below with Twilight is about how it's currently going sour during their travels in the cave. Both reach the point where marriage will be commenced but Twilight and Cadence are briefly stopped by a trio of likely possessed versions of other ponies. However, they find an opening and end up right where the wedding is taking place. Cadence explains their escape and that the other Cadence is a changeling, one who gains power from others in love and can take on anypony. This angers the other Cadence to reveal herself in her true form (and her name turns out to be Queen Chrysalis from the makers of the show). She explains how she's been feeding off of Shining Armor's love ever since and as she speaks, her army is working to tear apart the spell protecting the castle. First she'll take Canterlot, then all of Equestria! Celestia arrives begging to differ and the duo wage a battle but to everyone's shock, Celestia falls. The group must find the Elements of Harmony to defeat her and as they dash off, QC's army shatters the sphere surrounding the castle. They arrive to be confronted by dozens of QC's army that make duplicates of the group and an even bigger brawl breaks out.  As they defeat one group, another group of changelings follow and get them surrounded. Celestia awakens to be in some kind of cocoon and the Mane 6 enter captured by QC's army. While QC basks in a song identical to her Cadence doppelganger, Twilight sneaks away to help the real Cadence, whom in turn frees Shining Armor from the spell. QC protests that his spell won't do any good but Princess Cadence uses her magic with his own to send all of the changelings including QC away from the castle. Celestia assures Twilight she's fine and now Twilight has a real wedding to prepare. She runs through her checklist and the ceremony finally begins. She learns from SA that he told Cadence she'd be getting a fine sister too. At last, the duo kiss and Rainbow Dash performs her task in the skies above, stating what I'll agree is the best wedding ever. It's time for the party to begin and Twilight commences with my other favorite song of the finale. As the song concludes, Spike wants them to see what he's done for the bachelor party and they all have a good laugh.
