| 1 | "Dance Magic" | Ishi Rudell | G.M. Berrow | June 24, 2017 |
| Desperate to raise funds to help repair Camp Everfree, Rarity finds out about a music video contest with a sufficient cash prize, and convinces her friends to enter and spend their existing funds on costume materials. The students of Crystal Prep Academy, who are also competing, trick Rarity into sharing her music video theme idea with them. After buying the materials, Rarity discovers the Crystal Prep students rehearsing with similar outfits, and realizes they have stolen her idea. Pressed for time and unable to think of a new theme, Rarity despairs until she overhears the Crystal Prep students worrying that they have no song prepared for their music video. At Rarity's proposition, the two groups set their rivalry aside and collaborate together on a single video that wins the contest, allowing both groups to split the prize money. | ||||
| 2 | "Movie Magic" | Ishi Rudell | Noelle Benvenuti | July 1, 2017 |
| The seven friends are invited to a behind-the-scenes look at the upcoming Daring Do movie by director Canter Zoom as a reward for their camp fundraiser. During their visit, the movie's production is jeopardized when lead actress Chestnut Magnifico encounters scheduling conflicts, a set piece falls apart during shooting, and several author-approved props are found stolen. The girls determine that someone is sabotaging the movie, and pursue a cloaked suspect running loose with the stolen props around the studio. The girls eventually catch the hooded culprit and correctly deduce her to be Juniper Montage, Canter's niece and stagehand, who is envious of Chestnut and hoped to make her quit by delaying the movie so she could take her place. Juniper is banned from the studio as punishment, and with the production issues settled, the seven friends are given minor roles in the movie as repayment for their efforts. | ||||
| 3 | "Mirror Magic" | Ishi Rudell | Rachel Vine and Dave Polsky | July 8, 2017 |
| Sunset Shimmer runs out of pages in her magic journal to write to Princess Twilight Sparkle in Equestria, so she travels to Equestria to pick up another journal. There Sunset meets the unicorn Starlight Glimmer, Twilight's student, who is curious about the alternate world and persuades Sunset to take her for a visit. Meanwhile, Juniper Montage happens upon a hand mirror that is enchanted with magic from Equestria, showing her reflection as a famous and beloved movie star. Feeling resentful towards the seven girls for upstaging her, Juniper discovers the mirror can also trap objects and people inside it, which she uses on Sunset's friends in a fit of anger. Sunset also becomes trapped in the mirror after returning with Starlight; the combined magic of the seven girls' geode pendants morphs Juniper into a giant monster. The mirror falls and cracks during Juniper's rampage, causing the world inside the mirror to collapse into a void. Understanding Juniper's desire for friendship, Starlight convinces her to release the girls before they fall into the void. Juniper returns to normal and is forgiven by the girls, while Princess Twilight gives Starlight permission to stay a while longer to experience the parallel world. | ||||
