Episode 128	Flutter Brutter	Aired: June 4 2016
We find Fluttershy with Rainbow Dash at her parents house and the parents agree that it's nice to spend time with their daughter. Rainbow Dash had needed the break from her training at The Wonderbolts Academy and Fluttershy's parents have something to collect just like Fluttershy. However, bringing up Fluttershy's brother Zepher Breeze isn't as relaxing because Zepher has different interests and Rainbow Dash chuckles over one memory she had with him. Unfortunately, since his name was brought up, Fluttershy's parents give Fluttershy all she needs to be fearful of his return, even if it's only for a little while. Rainbow Dash is equally fearful and sure enough, the colt in question bursts through the door with an ego about the size of the bag he's carrying. Worse still, he gets a little too close for comfort and shows just how awkward it is to be around him by messing up Fluttershy's mane while he discusses the pitfalls of a strict school. He brings out his disaster in progress of a mane on a horse head before targeting Rainbow Dash with the same awkwardness that leaves Rainbow Dash less than thrilled overall. Zepher figured there were more ponies nearby and Pinkie Pie would've likely been able to make the house into a major party event. While Zepher goes to get his belongings from outside, Fluttershy takes the opportunity to discuss fears of letting her brother stay. The parents assure they can stand up for themselves but Fluttershy knows otherwise. Meanwhile, Rainbow Dash decides to dive into a Daring Do book and is in no mood for Zepher's constant babbling, even shoving him off the armrest without any need to look at him. Luckily Fluttershy sticks up for Rainbow Dash just as Zepher decides to go upstairs for an afternoon nap but not before requesting Fluttershy's dad to bring in the belongings from outside and hoping that the room is the way he likes it. Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash take to the skies to discuss things, including that Fluttershy has been more quiet than usual. Fluttershy is just too upset (though peeved is anything but a word that should be considered bad) to really speak her mind. The duo remain so concentrated on that that they fly right past Applejack and Pinkie Pie, ignoring the fact that Pinkie Pie wants their attention so Applejack helps out successfully. On the ground, the other duo learn what's been going on with Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy regarding Zepher Breeze. Applejack understands and suggests Fluttershy stand up for her parents. Fluttershy arrives to more mayhem as Zepher Breeze tosses out capsules of captured cloud, causing them to break and freeing the cloud her father worked so hard to get. Zepher tries to show that his parents don't mind it but Fluttershy doesn't buy it and wants him to move out when Zepher claims he can do so much on his own. Even her parents stick up for her, leaving Zepher to form a sob story before starting to pack up his essentials. Later, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash arrive at Fluttershy's cottage, and Fluttershy feels guilty about letting Zepher go but despite Rainbow Dash's claim that it was the right thing to do, Zepher makes his usual entrance inside. Things get too awkward for Rainbow Dash so she makes an excuse to head out while Fluttershy digs deeper into the web of lies Zepher laid out for her. Eventually she allows him to stay provided he gets a job. Zepher isn't so sure about it but at first light the next day, that's what they do as Fluttershy has found him a job at Rarity's boutique. Once inside, Rarity and Fluttershy leave Zepher to dye the fabrics but Zepher finds Opal nearby and gets an idea. Fluttershy and Rarity arrive to find the room a mess and Zepher explaining that he tried to talk to animals like Fluttershy has been known for but it didn't work out. Worse still, the animals have the dye all over them and get it on the carpet as they pass by before Zepher presents the final nail in the coffin to his career there and Rarity terminates her deal with him. Not willing to give up, Fluttershy takes Zepher to Twilight for his next job while she and Twilight have tea, leaving Spike to supervise. When the duo return, Spike is the one doing the work while Zepher has done nothing and bolts. Outside, Fluttershy tries to keep her cool, assuring that the next job will be much less fooling around as Zepher will be working with Rainbow Dash up in the skies overhead. They head off to Wonderbolts Academy while Fluttershy cleans up back home. She finishes just as Zepher returns with an electrifying new hairdo resulting from Rainbow Dash keeping her end of the deal. Zepher tries making a bed out of the couch but Fluttershy has had enough and orders him out. Zepher doesn't hesitate and does so, leaving Fluttershy once again racked with guilt, even with Rainbow Dash assures she did the right thing as they clean up the house once more.  However, their conversation is interrupted by Fluttershy bird named Constance, whom tells of a problem with Zepher and we find him struggling to live on his own in the woods and ends up trashing his own place just as Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash arrive.Realizing Zepher won't likely survive the night on his own, they try reasoning with him to get him to try something for once and succeed as otherwise he'll never do anything ever again. The two of them may have saved Equestria more times than they could count but failure was always on their mind and Fluttershy offers Zepher a deal to come back with her if he does exactly what she tells him and nothing else. Left with practically no other option, Zepher agrees and they head back inside to deal with the badly done horse head's mane with a song. By the time the song has finished, Zepher has changed his personality and the horse head's mane for the better. With something finally completed, Zepher has a few more baby steps in mind and heads out while Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy finish dinner. Some time later, Zepher returns to announce his graduation from Mane Therapy Training with thanks to Fluttershy but it was all on his own after all. The only thing he still needs now is a place to live and asks if he can be there for a few days, leaving Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash to remain unsurprised that the friend they've just made still hasn't entirely changed.
