==Summary==
===A new uni-cycling project===
The episode begins with the Mane 5 exploring the Canterlogic factory, which has been left abandoned after Sprout and his mother Phyllis Cloverleaf closed it down. As Pipp Petals enjoys the spooky atmosphere, much to Hitch Trailblazer's discomfort, Sunny Starscout and Izzy Moonbow decide to transform the abandoned building into something new for all of Maretime Bay to appreciate.
Sunny and Izzy go to ask around town for ideas on what to turn the Canterlogic factory into, Pipp and Hitch clear out any "ghosts" that may be haunting the factory, and Zipp Storm heads back to the Crystal Brighthouse to continue deciphering Princess Twilight Sparkle's foreboding message. As Zipp plays back Twilight's message on her phone, Misty spies on her from nearby and overhears Twilight's message. She goes to inform Opaline of what she has learned; realizing Zipp is getting close to finding out who she is, Opaline commands Misty to double her efforts in stealing Sparky Sparkeroni so that Opaline can use his dragonfire to get more powerful.
===Work together, make it better===
Sunny and Izzy get a lot of ideas from ponies around town for renovating the Canterlogic factory, many of which clash with each other; Sunny is determined to take everyone's ideas into consideration and create a space that all can enjoy. Meanwhile, as Pipp and Hitch explore more of the rundown factory, something watches them from the shadows.
The individual watching Hitch and Pipp from the shadows is revealed to be Sprout, who saw the Mane 5 go into the abandoned Canterlogic factory and followed them to make sure they did not do anything suspicious inside his and his mother's old family business. Hitch and Pipp believe Sprout to have been the one "haunting" the old factory, but when Izzy turns on the factory's lights, it turns out to be a pack of winged mice that came from Zephyr Heights out of boredom. Through the song With Each Other, Hitch and Pipp convince the mice to leave the factory and return home.
Back at the Brighthouse, Zipp attempts to decipher Twilight Sparkle's message and figure out what she was trying to say in the portions of her message that are corrupted. Through her detective reasoning, she deduces that the pony who wants to steal all of Equestria's magic must be able to handle a large amount of magic themselves and therefore must be an Alicorn.
===Welcome to Canterlove Studios===
Sunny and Izzy attempt to renovate the factory interior in accordance with all the ideas they received from the ponies of Maretime Bay, but they are unable to realize a single, cohesive vision because of all the conflicting ideas. After getting some sage advice from Izzy, Sunny realizes that she cannot please everyone and must use her own judgment to make the best decision she can.
At the end of the day, Sunny and Izzy present the new Canterlogic building to their friends and Sprout: a multipurpose, multimedia community center dubbed "Canterlove Studios". The ponies are all impressed with the building's transformation – including Sprout, who reminds the Mane 5 that the building is still technically under his and his mother's ownership. Meanwhile, at Opaline's castle, Misty makes an imaginary friend out of junk, to whom she vents her frustrations about Opaline and her growing misgivings about deceiving her friends.
==Quotes==
:Sunny Starscout: I can't believe we haven't thought about this old factory since Sprout and his family closed it down.
:Hitch Trailblazer: This is just an old building made of bricks and concrete. Besides, even if it weren't, I'm not afraid of no ghosts!
:Zipp Storm: Now that Canterlogic is gone, what's gonna happen to this building?
:Izzy Moonbow: Wouldn't it be super if it became something so fun-tastic that everypony wanted to hang out here?
:Sunny Starscout: We should turn this old factory into something new for the whole community!
:Pipp Petals: You know, if I had to guess, I'd say that spooky, scary ghosts haunting it up in here is totally against regulation. Right?
:Hitch Trailblazer: You make a good point. As sheriff, I can't allow that!
:Misty: Is that her? Twilight Sparkle from Opaline's stories?
:Opaline: So that nasty little Twilight Sparkle enchanted those crystals with a secret message, did she?! What else did she reveal?!
:Sunny Starscout: We've got to take everypony's idea into consideration. After all, we're all part of the community. Everypony should all have an equal say and be able to enjoy the new space, right? Right?!
:Pipp Petals: I am loving this! It's just like in the Spooky Stables series when Esmeralda Ghoulington searches for the old Whinny Mansion looking for her great-grandpony's spirit!
:Pipp Petals: [overdramatic] Come on out, you spooky spirits! We are only here to help! If you are here, give us a sign!
:Sprout: I saw you ponies go into the factory, and I figured, since it was my family business, I should make sure that you don't mess anything up.
:Hitch Trailblazer: That we don't mess anything up?
:Pipp Petals: Yeah! You're the one who crashed a giant robot pony into Sunny's lighthouse!
:Sprout: [chuckles awkwardly] I thought we all agreed to move past that.
:Zipp Storm: I'm getting closer! I can feel it! And once I crack the case, nopony will be able to steal anything from us ever again!
:Sprout: This is my building, and you are all getting evicted!
:Izzy Moonbow: Too much glitter? [scoffs] Who am I kidding? There can never be enough glitter!
:Hitch Trailblazer: She said they're sorry if they insulted your song. They love it. They just needed something new.
:Pipp Petals: Aww, I knew they loved it! Everypony does!
:Sunny Starscout: Welcome to Canterlove Studios!
:Izzy Moonbow: A place where everypony can come hang out and create cool stuff!
:Sprout: I gotta admit. I like what you did with the place. It's pretty impressive. And technically...it is still mine! Boo-yah! [guffawing]
:Izzy Moonbow: Is that true?
:Sunny Starscout: No way.
