love this episodes too.
My daughter love the show, they watch it ever time it is on. I watched the finally with them. It is one of my favourite storylines.
At first, I thought princess twilight and her friends were going to be sent out to stop Scorpan. I was quite surprised, when discord was chosen instead. But as I watched further into the episode, I understood why.
Discord did find and captured him. But been persuaded into joining him instead. He done so. The princess had to give up their magic, and stored it in twilight. She could not tell her friends.
When scorpan was finished robbing ponies of there magic, he went to the princess to do the same. he was quite angry to find their magic gone and banished them. He gave discord a necklace with a fancy accessory as a gift of trust and loyalty. But later discovered a 4th Alcorn. After discord gave him the info as to where she lived and how to get twilight to agree to giving up her magic. He then betrays him and steals his magic.
So there was a battle, and then Scopan made a deal with twilight. All the Alcorn magic for her friends. Her friends fluttershy says we are not worth it. Discord says oh but you are fluttershy. I had friendship and magic and now I have neither. Looking at the friends a rainbow appears in her eyes and she agreed. He let go of the ponies and dragon. Discord was still trapped in the bubble. And she says all of them. After he betrayed you all. You still consider him a friend. Release him.
Discord told twilight that scorpan lied saying this medallion was a gift of loyalty and friendship. But when I say it is, I'm telling the truth. And he gives it to twilight.
It was the final key that help unlock the chest and with it they defeat scorpan. And restored magic to all ponies.
Then soon after twilight castle appeared in the middle of Ponyville. There was also a table and chairs for each pony even one for spike beside twilights chair. Discord wondered where his chair was. And fluttershy response you're not quite there yet. He replies well I suppose you're right.
This was one of the best I seen yet.
We can all learn a thing or two about friendship. Just watching this series, ever since it started, taught me so much. Especially my daughters.
Thank you Hasbro. For bringing my little pony to the screen.
You have my family as viewers for life.
