Plot

"I've already read it, let me spoil the ending." SPOILER WARNING! This section contains plot details about an episode. Skip the section here.

Soon after the events of "The Trail Less Trotten", Fluttershy recruits her friends' help to earn a badge for selling cookies. The ponies have a lot of fun selling cookies at first, but Fluttershy becomes so consumed in her desire to meet Finn Tastic that she takes an extremely bossy approach to cookie-selling, forcing her friends to sell and promote cookies at an unbearable pace. Eventually, Spike, Gummy, and Angel are also dragged into baking cookies to sell.

When the rest of the Mane 6 confront Fluttershy about her overbearing demands, she briefly snaps at them in anger before realizing what she has done. She apologizes for the way she has behaved and promises to make cookies only for fun—though she has Spike, Gummy, and Angel keep making cookies, still wanting to accomplish her goal of meeting Finn Tastic.
