On the night of Christmas Eve, the CMCs are having a sleepover, talking about what to post next as "Anon-a-Miss". Sweetie Belle is getting worried about Sunset, but Apple Bloom and Scootaloo ignored her worries and told her that Sunset will be fine.

But later that night, they were shocked when they were visited by the ghosts of Apple Bloom's parents, who express their disappointment in them and wanting Apple Bloom to confess to being Anon-a-Miss and make things right. When Apple Bloom refuses to do so, her parents then warned the girls that they will be visited by three ghosts later tonight. Apple Bloom brushes this off, thinking her parents were just joking, only to find that they weren't the next time they woke up.

Based on a classic Charles Dickens' story, "A Christmas Carol".

• A Man Undercover

Due to circumstances that are too long-winded and boring to go into detail about, Sunset and pals discovered that their world had a version of the Pillars as well! It's been over a year since they were released from their time prison, but most have been able to get on with their lives without too much difficulty.

That is, except for Rockhoof. He just doesn't seem to have a place in this new scary world.

So he asks Sunset to kill him.

Sunset complies.

(Based on today's episode, A Rockhoof and a Hard Place)
