Episode 60	Apple Family Reunion	Aired: December 22 2012
Inside their barn, Applejack gets a box down from above and Granny Smith can't believe 100 moons have passed since their last family reunion and it's all she's been talking about since that time. She asks Apple Bloom who's coming and isn't thrilled to learn that they're all coming.GS learns that their family appears to be 10 times the size it was at their last reunion and is going to be fairly busy getting ready but AJ, Big Mac and Apple Bloom offer to help. AJ agrees to take care of the activities to let GS enjoy herself and GS agrees. All AJ needs is to be told what to do but GS decides to show them the series of pictures from the photo album instead, answering all of AB's questions while AJ starts making a laundry list of things to get. AJ gets started but by (what looks to be) 2AM, AJ is pacing the floor, unable to sleep and neither is AB, whom can't wait to spend time with her cousin but falls asleep as AJ notes that there won't be time for rest during the reunion. The next morning, the reunion is getting set up with apples getting picked, fabric delivered and pots lit. Without a minute to spare, the reunion is ready to go as the whole family arrives.AB can't find her cousin Babs Seed anywhere but gets spun 180 degrees and quickly finds her but before they can really get caught up with their news, AJ escorts them to the 7-legged race, which is quickly more than they can handle. Granny Smith and her friends learn of the new sewing machines that have replaced their rocking chairs and cannot hear one another over the racket. They take their places and begin, not too thrilled about the change. Meanwhile, the group are making their way through the race with AB and BS getting tidbits in between. At last, a break is given but there isn't anything memorable to capture for the album. The break is short-lived and the duo are brought to the hayride, which is going to be spiced up a bit as she sends dozens of fruit bats flying overhead, each set being a color of the rainbow.Things go well until one of the red fruit bats spots an apple on a hat and the whole flock dives for all the fruit they see, throwing the hayride off course and into the barn, smashing both the barn and the hayride to pieces after everyone jumps clear. All they'll remember is that it was the worst reunion ever. However, GS reminds AJ that the family is still there and in a song, help rebuild the barn. When finished, AJ gets in front of the camera as the photo is taken. The family gets some brief time to have fun with each other before the reunion ends.As AB and GS review the photos in the album, AJ recites her letter to Celestia before hugging AB and GS.
