Synopsis[]
Everything seems alright in Equestria now with Opaline finally defeated, but when Zipp discovers that Allura has entered Maretime Bay, the ponies must decide what to do about her.
Plot[]
While soaring over Maretime Bay and engaging with friends, Zipp comes across a frozen section in the forest outside of town, marked by a paw print in the ice. Concerned about a potential "giant town-destroying frost monster," she hastily messages Hitch. However, she slips on the ice and accidentally sends the message to all of her contacts, sparking a widespread panic in the town.
To soothe the town ponies, Zipp and Sunny embark on an investigation of the frozen forest, only to stumble upon Twitch delivering provisions to his master, Allura, whose chilling presence causes the surroundings to freeze, forcing the duo to withdraw discreetly as she hears them coming. Back at the Crystal Brighthouse, they brief the Mane 6 about the encounter with Allura. Despite the imminent threat, Sunny proposes giving Allura a chance to enjoy her newfound freedom outside of Starlight Ridge.
Zipp shares the news about Allura with the rest of Equestria, assuring them that collective unity will keep them safe.
