## Plot

### Part 1

The episode begins with Pinkie Pie dreaming about the final round of the Royal Jelly Juggernaut, failing miserably, and being taunted by her friends and the contest judges. Upon waking up, she tries coming up with a recipe for the final round of the competition that represents who she is as a chef and pony.

All throughout the day, Pinkie Pie is distracted from her contest preparations when Fluttershy needs a backup babysitter for the foals she is looking after, Zane needs an assistance to help him complete his microbiological studies, Twilight Sparkle needs help setting up for an educational film screening, Lloyd needs help with the cleaning and disinfecting of the dinning area, Rainbow Dash needs someone to take care of her when she is sick, Kai needs her to settle a problem with his credit card bill, Rarity needs opinions about Sugarcube Café renovations, Nya requires some assistance to repair the *Land Bounty 2.0*, Cole and Megan asked her to fix the Sunshine Scepter for Oriana, Jay needs her to compete in Lightning Road 2 Tournament, and Applejack needs help moving furniture in the bakery.

Unable to turn away a friend in need, Pinkie Pie struggles to help all of her friends with their tasks while also coming up with a final round recipe and making it to the TV studio in time.

### Part 2

When Princess Celestia calls Pinkie Pie and informs her that filming is about to start, the Ninja, Megan, Oriana and the rest of the Mane Six realize how selfish they have been with their needs, and they transport Pinkie to the TV studio just in time for the filming. With no time to bake on her own, Pinkie Pie assigns each of her friends to make a separate layer of cake while she works on the top.

Upon completion, Pinkie tells the judges that the cake is representative of her and her friends' close relationship. Princess Celestia finds the cake delicious and its representation of who Pinkie is perfect. Unfortunately, Pinkie ends up disqualified for receiving help from her friends; the Royal Jelly Juggernaut is a *solo* competition, not a team competition.

Some time later, Pinkie's friends find her at Sugarcube Café sulking over her disqualification. They apologize for taking advantage of Pinkie's selfless and helpful nature, and Pinkie resolves to do better at putting herself first and others second. Just then, a letter from the TV studio arrives inviting Pinkie to participate in the Royal Jelly Juggernaut's "All-Star Chefs" spin-off show. The Ninja, Megan and the rest of the Mane Six are happy for Pinkie, and she immediately gets to work on a brand new recipe.
