The Cutie Re-Mark Part 2.Twilight and Spike become trapped in a time loop as they repeatedly fail to stop Starlight from altering the past, which creates progressively worse versions of Equestria dominated by Nightmare Moon, Tirek, Discord, and the Flim-Flam brothers. Finally, they forcibly take Starlight with them to a wasteland to show how her actions are ravaging Equestria. Starlight refuses to believe them and shows them her own childhood, revealing that she was separated from her friend Sunburst, the day he earned his cutie mark and left to study magic in Canterlot. Understanding Starlight's fear of losing friends because of their talents, Twilight manages to convince her to give friendship another chance and they return to the unaltered present together. After deliberating with her friends, Twilight decides to take Starlight on as her own student and the rest of her friends accept her as a friend as well.
