Previously, on My Little Pony...
(Remember, kids, scented candles are a gateway drug! Friends don't let friends sniff scented candles with the windows closed! And never more than 2 at a time!)
And now, WE FINALLY GET BACK TO THE PLOT!!!
The good artist is back again! And this is a solid issue. It feels a little short, but it IS a step forward in the plot. Not a LOT gets done. But, we do get just a *little* more of a flashback.

Sunny's reaction on this first page is delightful. She's cracking under the boredom.
I guess Zipp has a BUNCH of hidden cameras set up in the old castle? And the royal family has a entire monitoring room to keep track of everyone. This...is worrying. You KNOW the royal family is using this room for SOMETHING shady....
Wow...Zipp didn't even notice the cave entrance being replaced by a drawing. Really? Pipp is a better detective than Zipp count: 1.
I kind of feel bad for Izzy. Her friends are STILL ignoring her! I mean, she's probably being set up to be the one to talk down Discord in the last issue of the arc, but still. This arc being lengthened to a whole year worth of stories isn't helping make the others look good.
Heh...Pipp's livestream was ruined...by a ACTUAL stream. It's like poetry, it rhymes.
Oh, geez...we get to see Fluttershy's old cottage. It hurts to see it without any ponies or animals living here, anymore. Ugh, the nostalgia's getting to me.
I DO wonder where the giant communication crystals came from. These weren't a thing in G4.
And the squirrel is stealing a Daring Do book...which LOOKS a lot like the real-life "The Marked Thief of Marapore" book but is actually a NEW book we've never seen before "Curse of the Basaltic Caves". So...I guess Discord found the volcano he's going to try and throw the crystals into. I guess the book has a map to the volcano? Curse you Daring Do, and you're odd commitment to realism in your novels! You've doomed the world again!
I guess we'll find out what Discord's up to...in about 3 months *SIGH* I wish they weren't structuring the story like this.
