Episode 113 What About Discord? Aired:
November 7 2015
Twilight is in her library with Spike about ready to reorganize the books just because she wants to vs needing to the last time they did this task. It's only three days of organization but Spike can think of multiple tasks more exciting even if Twilight wasn't really looking for an answer. Noticing Spike feeling down, Twilight figures they can get a claw massage and back rub in at some point and that gets Spike happy again. They finally finish and Spike plays dumb regarding the sun.

It was three very productive days but as they find out, they've missed Discord becoming friends with Rainbow Dash as they make an entrance from above. They try to explain with puns but Twilight wouldn't understand unless she was there. (I don't think I'd understand even if I were there, not to mention those jokes are actually horrible.) The duo don't stay long and race off, leaving Twilight and Spike still confused. They find Rarity at her boutique, whom has already collected the books to be donated but Discord enters with Fluttershy, whom is also literally joking around and gets Rarity having just as much fun.
Discord tries to explain it but a painting wouldn't do it justice and once again Twilight and Spike are left in the dark. They grab the books to be donated and head out but Twilight cannot get the supposed fun the others had out of her head, leaving Spike to believe Twilight regrets not being there. They're about to pass Sugarcube Corner when they hear laughter and find Discord once again behind it. She still doesn't find the humor in what's going on and heads back to the castle with Spike, unwilling to admit she's jealous about not being bonded with Discord.

Realizing that she just needs to figure out what happened, Twilight decides to investigate and brings the group together with their approval. However, as the event already passed, things are not as fresh in their minds, leading to confusion as to what actually happened and where. Data is gathered but Twilight still doesn't understand the humor that went down. They only missed Twilight in the equation and it's impossible to include her as she wasn't there. The other assure that there will be other times where Twilight can be a part.
Back in her castle, Twilight isn't convinced that things went as the others claimed and feels that perhaps instead the events were awful despite what Spike claims. She heads off to see Zecora and drags Spike along. Despite hearing Twilight's story, Zecora isn't fully convinced that Discord's new friends are under a spell. To be sure, Zecora gives Twilight a potion and explains that her cauldrin's glow is nothing more than for show. The next day, the Mane Six are gathered and learn what Twilight has in store, including to rid them of the supposed spell they're under.

The others have no idea what Twilight is talking about (Have we forgtten that he at one time wanted to turn Ponyville into a chaotic mess when he first appeared and again later on?) and have no interest in having even one drop of their beverage but Twilight maintains her theory until Discord arrives with his usual antics (that are getting old I might add).
Twilight admits that she felt left out but Discord hints at actually wanting to ensure that Twilight was left out and that has Applejack on edge. Despite Discord maintaining that no foul play occured, the others aren't fully convinced, nor are they laughing at his puns anymore.This time, Twilight gets the jokes started and they leave Discord out of it before Discord feels bad and gives everyone a hug.
