The next morning, Craig tells Lauren things as they are. "Lauren, I think it's time for you to step away from the show for a little while." She nods her head in agreement. He's right. That afternoon, she tells everyone she's quitting and walks out of the studio. All the staff are stunned. Meghan then runs down the hall after her. 

"Lauren, but why?" she asks.

"I can't tell you that. I'm just tired and need a break from the show for a little bit," replies Lauren as she bows her head and walks out of the building. "But now, Meghan," she says to Meghan in the parking lot, "You and Larson are in charge. Do me proud." Meghan nods and then returns to the My Little Pony studio at Hasbro. She then tells everyone the bad news. She then tells everyone that Lauren left her and M.A. in charge. The others look at her shocked. They can't believe Lauren left her baby, her ponies and without an explanation no less. Nonetheless, they work on the show and put out the episodes even though in not as cheery a mood as they usually do. At least, they still have the show. At least, she didn't cancel the show. They can definitely agree to that.
