My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Season 7 Episode 24's Summary

Episode 167	Uncommon Bond	Aired: October 21 2017
We find Starlight at the train station anxiously waiting for something to arrive by train. In her excitement, her brain forgets an obvious answer to her question as it's being filled up with the knowledge of Sunburst arriving by train. She takes her excitement to others, whom don't have any real interest in anything she's saying (though Vinyl is listening to music so she can't hear her). Finally the train arrives and Starlight races towards the open car, ready for Sunburst to appear. However, there's no sign of Sunburst when the car becomes empty. Just as Starlight walks away with disappointment, a voice calls out to her. It's Sunburst so she races to see him and get his rather heavy luggage ready for transport. While her mind is set on thing she wants to do with Sunburst, Sunburst shares things she was unaware he liked. Starlight puts her confusion aside and agrees to Sunburst's ideas but getting the baggage to Twilight's castle proves to be a bigger task than Starlight expected. With the luggage safely stowed away at Twilight's castle, the duo head to the antique shop. Unfortunately, Starlight has to fake her interest in the relics, finding nothing even remotely interesting about them (and I'd agree given I don't have any interest in it either). The tour is temperarily delayed as Twilight arrives to find that she's not the only one into antiques and is usually alone when at the store. While Sunburst and Twilight gleefully browse the store, Starlight tags along, not sharing any of the excitement, especially once she sees how much bigger one of the shelves is. The group return to Twilight's castle with more of the same. With Twilight and Sunburst continuing to have fun, Starlight fakes her intrest in the barrel, which is actually a blind buy (and I don't really see the benefit considering it could just be a way to sell old junk at a high price). Once they see Starlight bored out of her mind, they let Starlight choose something fun to do and she brings out an old box that rings a bell to Sunburst. Sure enough, it's their childhood game that Twilight remembers too. They set it up and start playing as Starlight recalls the excitement Sunburst had while playing. With the danger much less thrilling than they remembered, Twilight excitedly flips the game herself. Later, Starlight meets with Sunburst, whom is in shock that he has soo much in common with Twilight and realizes he probably has more in commom with most ponies in Equestria, which takes away Starlight's happy mood. Sunburst decides to get some sleep and isn't really interested in what Starlight has to say, leaving Starlight to walk sadly away. Early next morning, Starlight is up and wakes Sunburst from his sleep to try and get in some quality time together. Once outside, Starlight takes Sunburst to an apple tree. Sunburst has no memories having to do with an apple tree so Starlight kicks the tree to get an apple and brings down Trixie with the apples. The orchard is Trixie's place to practice new tricks and she ended up falling asleep. As a compromise, Trixie suggests showcasing one of her new tricks and the duo agree, though Starlight is less-than-thrilled. Trixie's performance gets underway as she wraps herself in chains, intending to escape quickly but that proves much harder for her to figure out so Sunburst gets her free using the trick he'd learned. Sunburst finds an equal intrest in magic with Trixie and the duo trade tricks with each other with Sunburst coming out on top. Tired of taking a backseat, Starlight takes Sunburst to the Magic Mirror Pool where Pinkie Pie's duplications began. Before they can consider how to best showcase it, there's a tapping coming from somewhere else. They head into a cave where Maud is hard at work until she uncovers the vast shield of gemstone behind the rocky surface. Once again, Sunburst finds that he has about as much in common with Maud as he did with Trixie and Twilight. Fed up, Starlight heads back to the castle. Twilight is surprised to see Starlight without Sunburst and learns of the situation. However, Twilight notes how Starlight and Sunburst love magic and it's enough to excite Starlight and she races off. By the time Sunburst returns, Starlight has written a spell for the two of them. With a couple uses of her horn, the castle reverts to their childhood home and they're back to being fillies, which has Sunburst rather disappointed. When Starlight brings out the game, Sunburst's disappointment turns to anger, leaving Starlight to undo the spell. The commotion catches Twilight's attention and she races inside to find out what's going on. Starlight has now realized they don't even have an interest in magic together and races off in tears. Now Sunburst is the one confused and asseses the situation with Twilight. With no answers being discovered, Sunburst returns to Trixie to learn more about her bond with Starlight as Trixie performs a new trick of her own. Sunburst doesn't have any luck with Trixie either so he heads back to the Magic Mirror Pool to see Maud and learns of her sense of humor and her bond with Starlight. Sunburst now becomes fearful that he may no longer have anything in common with Starlight like he used to when they were fillies. Back at the castle, Starlight is having the same fear about Sunburst but the duo are led to where Maud and Trixie are waiting to reveal the enlarged version of Dragonpit, which is complete with special effects from Trixie and a die made by Maud. While Sunburst didn't want to play the game, he knew how much Starlight liked the game and figured they needed a version for their size. All it's missing is a trapdoor, which Starlight makes sure to add, leaving everyone to have a good time. The next day, they take Sunburst back to the train station and say a few final words as they get his belongings on board. They hug goodbye and Sunburst gets on board, opening the mystery barrel, which includes a book that may be more than just an ordinary book given the way it's zoomed in on.
