- The Cutie Mark Crusaders are crushed when Apple Bloom's cousin, Babs Seed, rejects their invitation to become a fellow Crusader and instead joins Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon bullying them.
- Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo are excited to meet Applebloom's cousin Babs Seed, who comes all the way from Mane-hattan. However, when she arrives, Babs seems to be very quiet and shy.
The girls see that like them, she also hasn't gotten her cutie-mark yet, and quickly show off their clubhouse, telling how she could become a member like them.
When this offer is met with Babs still being quiet, the three show her the pumpkin float they've made for the Summer Harvest Festival. It is then that Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon see the girls, and start making fun of the girls. When Diamond Tiara gives Babs the option of siding with her and Silver Spoon, the others are shocked when Babs accepts, and quickly wrecks the girl's float. The girls get defensive, but when Babs asks if they intend to snitch on her, they quickly quiet down.
Sweetie Belle insists that they should tell someone about Babs, but the others refuse to take her advice. Instead, they assume they can avoid Babs for the rest of her time in Ponyville. This doesn't work, as Babs is there at every turn, making them miserable, even going so far as claiming the girls' clubhouse for herself, Diamond Tiara, and Silver Spoon.
Sweetie Belle still says they should tell someone about Babs, but Applebloom comes up with the idea to rebuild their Summer Harvest float, for a way to get back at her. They'll make the float so impressive, that Babs will want to drive it, and then set its steering to malfunction, sending her into a mud pit at the edge of the parade route.
The next day, the girl's plan seems to work, and Babs bullies her way into driving the float. Applejack sees Babs driving, and tells the girls that she's glad they are helping Babs, who had a bad time with bullies back in Mane-hattan. The girls now realize why Babs took Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon's side: she didn't want to be bullied in Ponyville, so she decided to BE a bully instead!
The girls rush to stop Babs, and manage to shove her out of the float before it careens into the mud pit.
In the aftermath, Babs is surprised why the three would help her, when they explain what they were trying to do. They apologize for trying to get back at her, and soon after, Babs is inducted into the Cutie Mark Crusaders.
As Babs prepares to leave for Mane-Hattan a few days later, she tells the girls that she'll also tell about their club to some of her other friends.
It is then that Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon see the girls, and make another little verbal stab, but Babs tells the girls to leave her friends alone, or she'll tell their Moms. This is enough to make Diamond and Silver back off.
