Several weeks later, a new episode comes out that Discord doesn't particularly like and he pops back into Hasbro and yells at them. "What is this! What is this catastrophe you put out today? Why isn't it another Discord episode?" He hollers, demandingly.

"You're not our only character, our only asset, Discord," replies Meghan from behind her desk. 

"So be it," he says as he snaps his claw and makes her unable to talk and then snaps again to bind her to the chair. He then does the same to Larson. 

Twilight soon gets word and transports to the real world to stop him. After hours and hours, she manages to get him calmed down and under control and then she transports them back to Equestria where Fluttershy immediately begins to chew him out. Now he can't help but feel bad and undoes all that he did to Larson and McCarthy, putting a smile on Fluttershy's face once again. The last thing he wants to do is lose her. He then reluctantly lets Twilight turn him to stone because he sees it as the only way to keep himself from going berserk. 

"Daddy no! Daddy no! No! No! Daddy!" cries Screwball as she watches Twilight encase him in stone.

"It's for the best, sweetie," says Fluttershy as she tries to comfort her daughter. 

Meanwhile back in the real world, everything gets back to normal. They get back to releasing new, non Discord based episodes. Everything is perfect, calm, quiet, perfect. The staff all sigh a sigh of relief. They no longer have to worry about Discord even though they can't help but admit that they kind of miss having him and his silly antics around. He kept them entertained. Now he's gone and everything just seems dull in comparison.

Back in Equestria, Screwball enters Fluttershy's house and sits down on the spare bed and just cries. She misses her daddy. She misses his carefree spirit and fun and chaos. "Why, my daddy Discord," she sings as tears form in her eyes, "why do this to me? Why do this to me?" 

"Oh honey," sighs Fluttershy taking Screwball in her arms. "He'll be out soon enough. Just be patient. After all, don't you have the school fair to look forward to this weekend with your friends?" Screwball nods her head. "Then lets go put together that claw machine you've been talking about." Screwball agrees and follows her mother to the kitchen where she creates a claw machine with her magic. They then go to the store to get things to fill it because they see it as much more fun that way than just creating toys with magic. Maybe, she can be happy after all. Maybe her mother can fill that void until her father gets free from his stone prison. She can't help but admit that.
