*Looks at the runtime* Yep, we've got us a longer special!
Who left that camera in the flying snail migration path?
"Nothing can possibly go wrong" song time!
The floor plan of this Brighthouse is a enigma. Do they really not have any sort of walls between their "rooms"? This has been a thing since the beginning and it's still weirding me out.
Curly-Maned Pipp is here! Her height has been doubled!
...I'm not sure if I'll ever understand some women's love for curly hair.
Misty's just happy it's not the wild racoonicorns jumping on her bed like at Opaline's place.
*Misty slides in* And...safe!
SENIOR BUTTERSCOTCH! As if he'd miss the first special!
Wait, how many plates do Hitch and Sparky use in the mornings? It's just the two of them in there!
Posey loves flash mobs! Finally, something she likes! Posey's embraced the madness count...1!
Does Windy work for Sunny now? I mean, I guess they all do, sorta, since she's the alicorn and all, but still. Does she get a wage?
Flare's really rocking that Super Saiyan 3 look.
Izzy needs to get back to bed.
Allura's ice powers are OVER 9000!
Allura runs hot. Too bad the summers are hotter.
Oh no, Izzy (and the writers) are already running out of plots!
The blockywockys...I hear there's a cereal for that.
Pipp has already abandoned her new hair do. What comic misadventures did we miss? She probably got her hair ruined but learned a valuable life lesson? I guess we'll never know.
Okay, someone needs to keep a closer eye on the Pippsqueaks. Their lives are in danger WAY too often.
"..and Misty not having a friend to talk to" You mean, like, last month? How much time has actually passed since they met her?
Aww, poor pouty Izzy.
Oh, we're doing a inspirational magic speech already? Okay, problem solved. This IS where the story ends, in most episodes.
So...vacation? Is that what we're doing this episode?
"If you're not feeling your best, it's time to go on a quest" Why do I feel like Zipp wrote that back when Pipp had the flu?
Allura went to the beach? But, it's even HOTTER there!
Allura does seem to have leveled up, though. She can now use HM06 Rock Smash!
Oh, that's why Twitch follows Allura around. She's his blanket. Makes sense.
Wait...isn't this Pipp and Zipp's song cave from Make Your Mark?
"A bag packed...for me?!" I guess the Brighthouse wants you out, too. Don't let the door hit you on the way out!
...Is this all a plot by the "Mysterious Voice" to get Misty all alone?
I swear, just add some avocados to your diet and your "blockywockys" will clear right up.
Oh gosh, Izzy made little pens with everyone's faces on them. That's so cute!
Yeah, WE wanted to go on vacation, too! I mean, we have a family van ready to go and everything!
This is kind of famously on brand for Izzy. She did just take off from Bridlewood to find a friend in Maretime Bay.
"Being alone isn't always so bad, Hitch" In fact, sometimes I kind of miss being alone. And having a room that I'm not sharing with 4 other girls.
I mean, you guys all do have phones. You could just...stay with me on this...call her?
Aw, Posey and Dahlia seem to have a little garden together. That's nice.
*Somewhere far away* Finally, I, LAVAN, have returned to conquer this world once more! Wait...what's tha..*explodes in rainbows*.
Oh right, Izzy is the keeper of the Portal Crystal. I kind of forgot about that. And this map seems to indicate that it's more of a teleporter than a dimensional portal. I guess all these places are on the same planet. They answered a mystery! Thank you!
I don't think we've ever met this pony. Or her bird. (Stardance, according to the credits)
A dance with the stars! I call Virgo!
Oh, the Dragonlands are part of the portal network. Good to know.
"Did you just say you brought a contagious disease into our kingdom?"
I mean, Izzy does have magic. She should be able to save herself. I guess we can blame the blockywockys for her not thinking of that at all.
Everyone is surprisingly chill with this ball of hair and sugar having a magical doorway into their homes.
Of course she has a oxygen mask on her. She's Batmare!
SEAPONIES! Ponies of the sea!
Destiny, a anglerfish seapony, given the light on her head. Kind of a neat design.
So, given the focus on "laughter", I have to wonder if Destiny is a descendant of Pinkie Pie.
So this entire quest was just so Izzy could learn to make...hair braids? ...Okay...
Mazel Tov! You're married!
Adventure over! What a exciting...afternoon, I guess.
So...no one's gonna notice the new ice cave on the highly trafficked beach?
Oh, Allura knows that Izzy has the Nova Charm now!
And...random abandoned amusement park? That's...new for something so old.
So, Izzy has her new project! To restore the old abandoned amusement park that's DEFINITELY always been there. Yes, sir.
"Like Starlight and moonshine..." Hey, c'mon, Starlight Glimmer got her drinking problem under control, no need to bring it up again.
Her creative juices are getting all over the place! Someone get a mop!
"Twitch! Look out!" Aw, Allura cares about her bunny-buddy.
Oh no, Izzy's got Rainbow Power now! Someone's about to taste the rainbow!
Oh, those racoonicorns are having another rave in the woods! We better put a stop to that, before they burn down Posey's house again.
"No! No, stop your magical nonsense right now! I just want to go home!"
Okay, so the Nova Charm is broken to make the fair grounds magical, I guess.
I thought maybe this was going to be a season-long restoration, but I guess we're fixing it all up tonight. So...that kind of leaves Izzy with the same problem of needing a new project like before, right? We're right back where we started.
So...they're all running a carnival on the pier now? Okay. I guess. Fine.
And somehow, they all manage to not notice the leopard in the room.
Hitch Trailblazer: Carnival Cop!
(Also, he's using his special Hitch-shaped pen)
Misty gets flavored popcorn! Best night ever!
"I had a date with Destiny" Wait, I was kidding before, ARE they supposed to be a couple, now?
...Wait. Stardance. Blaize. Destiny. Was this entire special just about Izzy building a harem?
Now everyone can rock that Anakin Skywalker look that's so in right now!
The Board-Trot! It...kind of sounds like a stomach condition. But, I suppose it's already on the toys, by now.
And they get a entire carnival to themselves for the night. Money is no object when you have MAGIC!
Izzy started with the Blockywockys and ended up with the Board-trots. We've come full circle.
Okay, so now Sunny, Misty, and Izzy have magical powerups. I guess we're probably getting some for Pipp, Zipp, and Hitch before the end.
And our villain is foiled again...from getting home. I feel conflicted about this.
Also does this mean Comet is just stuck here never to see his friends back in Starlight ever again?
I'm guessing the various carnival games actually create portals to different lands? I dunno, I guess we'll see. I doubt this is the last we'll see of these various places. Portals will probably be popping up randomly and lead to comical misadventures. As is law.
Sunny, on the phone with her agent: "Okay, good work! Let's just keep that up! You earned your 10 percent today! Now, I was thinking, my character's smoothie cart could use a upgrade and..."

And I just realized I called this! Sunny got her upgraded smoothie cart. Now, we just have to turn the Brighthouse into a giant mech, and we'll be all set.
