==Summary==
===Time After Time Capsule===
At Sugarcube Corner, the Mane Six enjoy more desserts made with Pinkie Pie's Cotton Candy Comet crystals. When Fluttershy expresses a desire to make this happy moment last forever, the ponies all take a selfie together, and Twilight Sparkle proposes making a time capsule with one item from each of them inside so that they can look back fondly on their time together in the future.
The next day, the Mane Six get together to put their treasured items in a box provided by Pinkie Pie. Applejack chooses her third-favorite hat, Rainbow Dash chooses the first-place ribbon she won at the Sportacular Spectacular, Twilight chooses her favorite calculator, Rarity chooses the script from the episode of Hoof Session she starred in, and Pinkie chooses her mixing bowl from the Royal Jelly Juggernaut spin-off show.
However, Fluttershy is unable to choose a single item that best represents her and her friends' relationship. When she seeks out an item that captures their friendship as well as the selfie they took together the day before, her friends suggest the selfie itself. A short while later, the Mane Six bury the time capsule. When the time capsule starts to glow underground, Pinkie reveals that she got the box itself from one of the magic balloons from Close Encounters of the Balloon Kind. The box's magic causes a vortex to appear and suck the Mane Six inside, transporting them through time and space.
===The Great Cowgirl Hat Robbery===
Through the vortex, Applejack and Rarity wind up in an old western town in Equestria's past. Applejack believes she will fit in well in this environment. Remembering the time capsule from the previous episode and the hat she put in it, Applejack theorizes they need to find her hat in this time period in order for her and Rarity to go back home.
The two ask around town about Applejack's hat – Rarity converses with the townsfolk more easily than Applejack – and one of the locals mentions a pony named Saddle Bags, who recently came into possession of a hat that he claims fell from the sky. Applejack and Rarity meet with Saddle Bags and ask for the hat, but Saddle Bags refuses to give the hat to anyone except for "the cowpony who proves themselves worthy".
Applejack competes in a cowpony contest against Saddle Bags in front of the whole town and loses, causing her to doubt herself as a true cowpony. With some reassurance from Rarity, Applejack comes up with the idea of putting on a dramatic cowpony performance in front of Saddle Bags, playing an outlaw opposite Rarity playing a sheriff. At the end of their performance, Applejack expresses cowpony humility, and Saddle Bags judges her to be worthy of getting the hat back. With the hat in Applejack and Rarity's possession, a vortex opens to transport them back to their own time period.
