Episode Title: "Hoof Done It"
Aired on: September 26, 2022.
Hope is gone!
- What?!
- I mean the "Hope Lantern"!
It's not in its case…
And it's not here with you!
Which means it's missing,
which means
I gotta find it! It could
already be too late.
Did you know that the first few hours
after a crime are critical for clues?
Zipp, wait! I'm sure I just left the lantern
somewhere in the Bright house.
Oh. Cool. Cool. Cool.
But just to be sure…
(Gasps)
Ugh!
Argh! Uh?
(laughing)
Argh!
You were right. It's nowhere!
Oh…
How can my special lantern be nowhere?
Oh, this is bad. This is really bad!
Besides the Unity Crystals,
that lantern is
the most important
thing in the Bright house!
It contains magic Prisbeam power!
What are we going to do?
Only one thing to do.
(Rhythmic music)
Detective Zipp on the case!
(Mysterious music)
(Barking)
(Beeping)
Oh yeah, there was definitely some kind of fiend
in this house! I mean, who does this?!
Oh! The rest of my apple!
(Crunching)
So good.
Ha!
Just as I suspected,
this outline
is the exact diameter of
the lantern's base!
And what's this?
Dirt! Hmm.
The same kind of dirt that's used
in the community garden. Interesting.
Did I just taste dirt?
(Coughing)
Ugh. Ah. Hmm…
♪ So put your hooves up high
'Cause we're feelin' alright ♪
♪ Every day is awesome in the Mare... ♪♪
Wait! Don't take another step.
- What are you doing?
- This is an active crime scene!
Can't have you contaminating the evidence.
A real-life mystery?!
(Gasps excitedly)
What's the crime?
Sunny's lantern has gone missing.
- (Gasps)
- I am shook! How can I help?
No help needed!
I've got this investigation under control.
No sign of forced entry.
Huh? Hmm.
(Gasps)
(Pipp): Your Cutie Mark!
Wow, I guess you really do
have this under control!
Well, I should just leave you
to it then, Detective!
♪ Have fun ♪♪
(humming)
Ah! What in the hay?!
Hmm?
(♪♪)
Lantern! What are you doing out here?!
Aw, yay. Zipp will be so excited
you aren't missing after all!
Aww…
But she already looks so happy!
If I give it to her, her fun will be over.
I guess the lantern doesn't need
to be found right now.
And for a little extra mystery,
some of my all-new "Pipp brand Wing Glitter"!
There! The perfect clue to have Zipp
on the lantern's trail to me in no time. So fun!
I am really good at this!
I should plan a mystery party!
(Mysterious music)
What?!
It was right here! I buried it right here!
Ugh! Somepony found it.
(Groans)
Oh why did I think burying it
was enough to keep it hidden?
Oh, why do I always panic and
do the wrong thing?
Oh…
Opaline's gonna be so angry when she founds out.
But… not if I can find it again first!
Misty?
(gasps)
What are you doing here?
Me? Oh, I was…
Uh… I was just filling in this hole,
left by uh, gophers!
Yep! Silly gophers,
leaving holes everywhere!
(Giggles nervously)
Wouldn't want somepony to trip.
Ah… This hole is too
wide for a gopher, but
it is just wide enough
to hide a lantern!
And I don't think any gopher would be
leaving a ho of print like that, do you?
Glitter? Is it a magical remnant?
Maybe this ho of print belongs to an Earth Pony
who was trying to grow something here,
or maybe it belongs to…
The lantern thief!
(Misty gasps)
Lantern? What's that?
I've never even seen one of those! Bye!
Well, she was acting totally weird.
But that tracks.
(Recorder beeps)
Update: No solid leads yet.
But somepony out there in town
must have some answers.
I know Zipp is on the case, oh…
But it's agony just sitting around here
doing nothing!
There's gotta be
something I can do without
stepping on her
investigation, right Cloudpuff?
Ugh…
Oh, that's it!
(Bright music)
The crystals and
the Prisbeam rely on the
unity magic of ponykind
to keep them powered!
If the little bit of Prisbeam in my lantern
is anything like this one,
we could power up the lantern
no matter where it's hidden!
Like a beacon leading us straight to it.
(Barks)
All I need is enough ponies gathered
and united together!
Thanks, Cloudpuff!
(Mysterious music)
(Zipp): Hmm.
Hmm.
Hmm… So many potential witnesses,
so little time.
Where to start? Huh!
Flowers from the garden? Gotcha!
Pipp's going to love our dance moves!
(Screaming)
(Zipp): Seashell! Glory! Peach Fizz.
Where were you at approximately
4:22 a.m. last night?!
What? 4:22? We were, uh…
Definitely sleeping at home in our beds!
Yeah! We definitely weren't up watching
You Ho of videos!
Hmm. That was very specific, too specific…
And not very convincing!
Fine! I admit it, okay?!
We were up late…
- Yes!
- Watching Princess Pipp Glow-Up tutorials!
- She just released a new line of wing glitter!
- Please don't tell on us!
Wing glitter, huh?
No, a good detective doesn't just
fly to conclusions!
Gonna need to do a deeper dive.
(Gasps)
Mayflower! What is that?!
It's an old lamp that I just had fixed
at "Izzy Does It"!
Oh, um, of course it is. So sorry!
- Let me help you with that!
- I'm good!
(Sighs)
Maybe I need to try a different strategy.
(Izzy): Zipp!
(Honking)
Zipp! Zipp!
Oh hey, Iz! How are the "Izzy Does It"
unicycling house calls going?
Awesome! I can't even belizzle
how much stuff ponies have
just sitting around their houses
begging to be beautified.
Requesting to be repurposed!
Clamoring for a crafting!
I just fixed Mayflower's old lamp actually.
So I heard…
You seem a little…
(groaning)
- What's up?
- Sunny's lantern is missing,
and I haven't been able to come up with
a single real lead in the case.
So far, it's just all dirt and glitter!
- (Giggles)
- Honestly, what isn't?
But nopony's seen anything!
Really? I saw the lantern last night.
- (Gasps)
- We need to talk!
(Hitch): No, Sparky!
Once again, my badge is not a toy!
And stop putting random things
in your mouth, okay?
It's a choking hazard!
(Sighs)
Here! Try this instead!
Aw…
And cute moment over.
Let's give that another try, huh?
(Doorbell chimes)
(Sparky giggles)
Hitch! My lantern is missing,
but I think I have a way to track it down.
Ooh! Is it Detective Zipp?
'Cause she's great at solving mysteries.
She's on it! But I also need
just a little, teeny, tiny bit of help
from everypony's favorite town Sheriff!
- What kind of help?
- Oh, you know.
Gather up every single
pony we can find to amplify
their Unity magic and
blast it to the lantern.
Call it a… town meeting!
Wait just a second.
Do you really think
it's a good idea letting
everypony know the
lantern is missing?
Remember what
Twilight Sparkle warned us about?
An evil pony who wanted to steal magic?
What if that pony finds it?
Well, I hardly think
that's going to happen.
It could!
Sunny, let's be rational here...
Oh! My puzzle!
Sparky!
(Sparky giggling)
No more dragon fire!
(Straining)
- That'll work.
- That puzzle is a limited edition!
- (light buzzing)
- Ah!
Uh, where are we?
Not important!
You said you saw it last night,
but what exactly did you see?
- (Giggling)
- What do you mean what did I see?
I saw the lantern! You're so silly!
'Cause what I saw was somepony
in the garden sneaking around with it.
Well, of course! That was me!
- It was?
- Yeah! I had insomnia last night,
happens all the time really.
So I thought I'd brew up some
Unicorn Sleepy Time Oo-oo-long tea.
It is sure to lull even
the most wide-eyed pony
to the gentlest shores
of the snoozy ocean.
And that has to do with the lantern
how, exactly?
Well, I had to go search the garden to look
for the tea leaves, 'cause I just ran out.
And what better to light the way
than a bright lantern?
- Your glowing horn?
- Oh…
Yeah, that would have worked, too.
Huh? But wait...
You were in bed at the time!
I saw you!
(Izzy): Oh, that? You must have seen
Senor Butterscotch!
I put him under the
covers anytime I have
to get out of bed in the
middle of the night.
It is Jinxie to leave without
saving your spot, you know!
So if it was you who took
the lantern out last night,
why didn't you put it
back where you found it?
(Izzy): I did!
Right back on Sunny's nightstand!
She likes to sneak
the lantern out of
the case and sleep
with it next to her
because it reminds her
of when she was a filly.
Mmm… Don't you just love that?
If you took the lantern and returned it,
then where the hay is it now?!
(Sighs)
Izzy, you're free to go.
Oh! Okay!
Da, da-doo, ba, ba…
Hmm, I feel like I'm getting closer.
Like I'm on the edge of something…
Ah!
Ugh, I fell right into that one.
(Mysterious music)
Well? Anything?
(Beeping)
Then I guess you're the only solid clue
I've got so far.
Hmm.
Hmm? That's… suspicious.
(Panting)
Hey!
(Rhythmic music)
(Misty pants)
(Beeping)
(Train bell dings)
(Brakes screeching)
Sorry!
Hmm…
(Panting)
Ugh! Where'd she go?!
Hi there!
Were you looking to get styled today?
Yes! Of course! Tell me all about
your signature manestyles.
Okay! So we can do every look
from the traditional to the cutting edge!
Bobs, layers, beach waves, braids.
Just name it!
So, what will it be?
Actually, I'll take a rain check!
We don't have those, uh…
But we do sell gift cards.
(Door creaks)
Huh…
I know everything, Misty!
And I know that it was you
who stole the lantern!
Ever since the Unicorn sleepover,
I had a weird feeling about you.
Those probing questions about Sparky,
not knowing anything about Bridlewood,
and then finding you trying to activate
the elevator up to the Crystal Room!
But I ignored my instincts and gave you
the benefit of the doubt, until now.
All the galloping and shadiness today
solidified it!
Now, you better tell me
where you've got Sunny's lantern hidden!
Stop!
Pipp! What are you doing?!
I've got the lantern thief right here!
It's me! I'm the lantern thief!
What?!
Well, no, I mean,
I'm not the lantern thief, but…
I've had it all day.
Huh? No! But Misty is the lantern thief!
She's not!
(Sighs)
The truth is…
I found the lantern outside
the Bright house this morning.
And I was going to show you right away,
but your Cutie Mark was glowing
and you were having so much fun
investigating and I...
- But the hoof print!
- I put it there, to keep you going.
And the wing glitter was a clue
to lead you to me!
I had no idea it'd send you
on a trail after Misty.
(Nervous chuckle)
So my whole investigation
was for nothing, then?
Just me looking like a
fool and accusing Misty
of a bunch of terrible
stuff she didn't do?
Yeah, that one is totally my bad
and I definitely owe her a big apology,
but I've never seen your Cutie Mark
glow like that!
You finally got to be a true detective! Ah!
That's worth something, right?
(Zipp sighs)
I guess you're right. I did have fun. So…
I guess I can forgive you for sending me
on that wild goose chase all day.
Even if I did miss a few obvious clues.
(laughing)
How did I not connect the glitter thing?!
It was aquamarine!
Like my sparkle!
And I can't believe you thought it was Misty!
She's so sweet. She could never!
Misty, I am so sorry.
I never should have accused you
of being a thief…
Or chased you around town
or cornered you in here.
I guess I need some more practice
with this whole detective thing, huh?
It's okay. I know how it is when you get
really wrapped up in something!
I did just have one last question though.
Why were you galloping away from me?
Oh, well, I, uh…
I have this thing
where I just can't get
the words out when I'm nervous
sometimes and I, um…
Oh would you look at the time!
I should really get going before my cake…
Goes… stale? Ah!
Wonder what all that was about?
I bet she's still just shy around us.
Some ponies are, you know!
Yeah, we can't all be doing
ClipTrot dances like you.
(laughter)
Ooh! Speaking of, your little caper today
fully inspired me to write this jam!

- (Sunny): Ponies! Please!
- Huh?
Come join us in the plaza
for a very important cause!
Sunny, please stop!
This is not the way to solve this.
And you! Stop squirming!
- What is going on?!
- I don't know.
But it seems like we're about to play
a really complicated game of "tag"!
Everypony!
We need your help to find my lantern!
(Zipp): We found it, Sunny!
- (Crashing)
- You did?
(Feedback)
You did?
Yeah, it was all just a case
of a little innocent sister meddling.
(Nervous laughter)
Probably should have let you in
on my plan, sooner, Sunny!
So sorry about that!
Ah! What a relief!
Thank you for returning it.
Oh! What happened to the game of tag?
Yeah, it could have been a total disaster
if the lantern had actually been taken
by somepony dangerous…
Like the mysterious evil pony
Twilight warned us about?
Ooh, that should be your next mystery
to uncover, Zipp!
Yeah, yeah, I'm working on it.
(laughter)
As long as we stick together
and tell each other about our plans,
I know we'll be able to keep this lantern
and pony magic safe.
This thing is powerful.
We have to be more careful with it.
No more midnight trots with it then, Izzy?
Psht! Why would I need a lantern?
I've got a glowing horn!
(laughter)
(♪♪)
- (Gasps)
- I knew it!
So beautiful!
So rainbow-y!
Wow, Sunny! You were right!
Note: Lantern's energy linked
to proximity to unity magic.
Or is it a separate power?
Hey Sunny, do you
think I could keep
my hooves on the lantern
a little bit longer?
I want to do some more
scientific analysis on it.
As long as you don't let it
out of your sight, Detective.
Don't worry. I won't!
(Menacing music)
(Opaline): So you're finally back.
And where is my powerful lantern?
Well, you see, I was on my way to get it,
but then I got to thinking,
maybe it's not as powerful as we...
Another failure!
There seems to be a pattern emerging.
It makes me wonder if it truly
was a mistake…
Or if you're just going soft on those ponies!
No, Opaline! It was all a mistake!
I want to do whatever I can
to help your plans succeed!
Well, I hope you're telling the truth.
It would be terrible for you
to abandon your only friend.
Without me, you'd have nothing.
No family, no home, no Cutie Mark!
You still want me to give you
a Cutie Mark, don't you?
More than anything! I promise I won't let
another mistake like this happen again.
- I'll get the lantern! Hoof to...
- No!
We're wasting time with the pursuit
of these silly enchanted relics!
B-b-but how else are we going to get the magic?
With something that will instantly
restore my ultimate power.
(Dramatic music)
Dragon fire!
(Hitch): Of course! It's always
the last piece
that goes missing!
Sparky… No. Put it down.
(Gibberish)
(♪♪)
(Sighs)
So much for mint condition.
Don't worry!
(Gibberish)
Nothing prepares you
for the moments like these!
(laughter)
Sparky's Dragon fire transformations
are amazing!
And he's just a baby!
Seems like the sky's
the limit for your powers.
Right, little buddy?
(Burps)
(laughter)
(♪♪)
Huh?
(Snoring)
Huh?
Ugh, is somepony down there?
I must be dreaming.

the most wide-eyed pony
to the gentlest shores
of the snoozy ocean.
And that has to do with the lantern
how, exactly?
Well, I had to go search the garden to look
for the tea leaves, 'cause I just ran out.
And what better to light the way
than a bright lantern?
- Your glowing horn?
- Oh…
Yeah, that would have worked, too.
Huh? But wait...
You were in bed at the time!
I saw you!
(Izzy): Oh, that? You must have seen
Senor Butterscotch!
I put him under the
covers anytime I have
to get out of bed in the
middle of the night.
It is Jinxie to leave without
saving your spot, you know!
So if it was you who took
the lantern out last night,
why didn't you put it
back where you found it?
(Izzy): I did!
Right back on Sunny's nightstand!
She likes to sneak
the lantern out of
the case and sleep
with it next to her
because it reminds her
of when she was a filly.
Mmm… Don't you just love that?
If you took the lantern and returned it,
then where the hay is it now?!
(Sighs)
Izzy, you're free to go.
Oh! Okay!
Da, da-doo, ba, ba…
Hmm, I feel like I'm getting closer.
Like I'm on the edge of something…
Ah!
Ugh, I fell right into that one.
(Mysterious music)
Well? Anything?
(Beeping)
Then I guess you're the only solid clue
I've got so far.
Hmm.
Hmm? That's… suspicious.
(Panting)
Hey!
(Rhythmic music)
(Misty pants)
(Beeping)
(Train bell dings)
(Brakes screeching)
Sorry!
Hmm…
(Panting)
Ugh! Where'd she go?!
Hi there!
Were you looking to get styled today?
Yes! Of course! Tell me all about
your signature manestyles.
Okay! So we can do every look
from the traditional to the cutting edge!
Bobs, layers, beach waves, braids.
Just name it!
So, what will it be?
Actually, I'll take a rain check!
We don't have those, uh…
But we do sell gift cards.
(Door creaks)
Huh…
I know everything, Misty!
And I know that it was you
who stole the lantern!
Ever since the Unicorn sleepover,
I had a weird feeling about you.
Those probing questions about Sparky,
not knowing anything about Bridlewood,
and then finding you trying to activate
the elevator up to the Crystal Room!
But I ignored my instincts and gave you
the benefit of the doubt, until now.
All the galloping and shadiness today
solidified it!
Now, you better tell me
where you've got Sunny's lantern hidden!
Stop!
Pipp! What are you doing?!
I've got the lantern thief right here!
It's me! I'm the lantern thief!
What?!
Well, no, I mean,
I'm not the lantern thief, but…
I've had it all day.
Huh? No! But Misty is the lantern thief!
She's not!
(Sighs)
The truth is…
I found the lantern outside
the Bright house this morning.
And I was going to show you right away,
but your Cutie Mark was glowing
and you were having so much fun
investigating and I...
- But the hoof print!
- I put it there, to keep you going.
And the wing glitter was a clue
to lead you to me!
I had no idea it'd send you
on a trail after Misty.
(Nervous chuckle)
So my whole investigation
was for nothing, then?
Just me looking like a
fool and accusing Misty
of a bunch of terrible
stuff she didn't do?
Yeah, that one is totally my bad
and I definitely owe her a big apology,
but I've never seen your Cutie Mark
glow like that!
You finally got to be a true detective! Ah!
That's worth something, right?
(Zipp sighs)
I guess you're right. I did have fun. So…
I guess I can forgive you for sending me
on that wild goose chase all day.
Even if I did miss a few obvious clues.
(laughing)
How did I not connect the glitter thing?!
It was aquamarine!
Like my sparkle!
And I can't believe you thought it was Misty!
She's so sweet. She could never!
Misty, I am so sorry.
I never should have accused you
of being a thief…
Or chased you around town
or cornered you in here.
I guess I need some more practice
with this whole detective thing, huh?
It's okay. I know how it is when you get
really wrapped up in something!
I did just have one last question though.
Why were you galloping away from me?
Oh, well, I, uh…
I have this thing
where I just can't get
the words out when I'm nervous
sometimes and I, um…
Oh would you look at the time!
I should really get going before my cake…
Goes… stale? Ah!
Wonder what all that was about?
I bet she's still just shy around us.
Some ponies are, you know!
Yeah, we can't all be doing
ClipTrot dances like you.
(laughter)
Ooh! Speaking of, your little caper today
fully inspired me to write this jam!

- (Sunny): Ponies! Please!
- Huh?
Come join us in the plaza
for a very important cause!
Sunny, please stop!
This is not the way to solve this.
And you! Stop squirming!
- What is going on?!
- I don't know.
But it seems like we're about to play
a really complicated game of "tag"!
Everypony!
We need your help to find my lantern!
(Zipp): We found it, Sunny!
- (Crashing)
- You did?
(Feedback)
You did?
Yeah, it was all just a case
of a little innocent sister meddling.
(Nervous laughter)
Probably should have let you in
on my plan, sooner, Sunny!
So sorry about that!
Ah! What a relief!
Thank you for returning it.
Oh! What happened to the game of tag?
Yeah, it could have been a total disaster
if the lantern had actually been taken
by somepony dangerous…
Like the mysterious evil pony
Twilight warned us about?
Ooh, that should be your next mystery
to uncover, Zipp!
Yeah, yeah, I'm working on it.
(laughter)
As long as we stick together
and tell each other about our plans,
I know we'll be able to keep this lantern
and pony magic safe.
This thing is powerful.
We have to be more careful with it.
No more midnight trots with it then, Izzy?
Psht! Why would I need a lantern?
I've got a glowing horn!
(laughter)
(♪♪)
- (Gasps)
- I knew it!
So beautiful!
So rainbow-y!
Wow, Sunny! You were right!
Note: Lantern's energy linked
to proximity to unity magic.
Or is it a separate power?
Hey Sunny, do you
think I could keep
my hooves on the lantern
a little bit longer?
I want to do some more
scientific analysis on it.
As long as you don't let it
out of your sight, Detective.
Don't worry. I won't!
(Menacing music)
(Opaline): So you're finally back.
And where is my powerful lantern?
Well, you see, I was on my way to get it,
but then I got to thinking,
maybe it's not as powerful as we...
Another failure!
There seems to be a pattern emerging.
It makes me wonder if it truly
was a mistake…
Or if you're just going soft on those ponies!
No, Opaline! It was all a mistake!
I want to do whatever I can
to help your plans succeed!
Well, I hope you're telling the truth.
It would be terrible for you
to abandon your only friend.
Without me, you'd have nothing.
No family, no home, no Cutie Mark!
You still want me to give you
a Cutie Mark, don't you?
More than anything! I promise I won't let
another mistake like this happen again.
- I'll get the lantern! Hoof to...
- No!
We're wasting time with the pursuit
of these silly enchanted relics!
B-b-but how else are we going to get the magic?
With something that will instantly
restore my ultimate power.
(Dramatic music)
Dragon fire!
(Hitch): Of course! It's always
the last piece
that goes missing!
Sparky… No. Put it down.
(Gibberish)
(♪♪)
(Sighs)
So much for mint condition.
Don't worry!
(Gibberish)
Nothing prepares you
for the moments like these!
(laughter)
Sparky's Dragon fire transformations
are amazing!
And he's just a baby!
Seems like the sky's
the limit for your powers.
Right, little buddy?
(Burps)
(laughter)
(♪♪)
