Misty having received her cutie mark in the previous episode, is nervous about taking part, so her friends share their cutie mark stories to get her mind of things. Sunny got her cutie mark when when she opened a lemonade stand as a filly and resolved an argument between two ponies who fought over the last cup of lemonade. Zipp got her cutie mark when, while trying to figure out how Pegasi could fly again before magic returned to Equestria, he impressed a crowd of Pegasi with her parkour skills. Pipp got her cutie mark when, immediately after Zipp got hers, she was inspired to share her singing talent for the first time.

Hitch got his cutie mark when, while playing on the beach with some other colts, he allowed a filly to join their game after the other colts refused. Finally Izzy got her cutie mark when she took a pile of junk in the middle of Bridlewood and recycled it into something new, discovering the joy of "uni-cycling" for the first time.
