Synopsis: Pinkie Pie starts the silliest criminal investigation in the history of Equestria when a cake she is guarding for a contest is destroyed on the way to Canterlot.

Mystery episode, eh? It's questionable how much this will involve the rest of the Mane Six, but it looks like it should be really fun. Noir references must be made. Please make noir references. Pinkie in a fedora and jacket would really be awesome. Edited May 27, 2014 by DashForever

Investigation Pinkie Pie style: Eat cake while investigating

[Pinkazoid 3,493]

not sure if this is a spoiler, but just to make sure....

 

 

 

 

I won't be surprised if Pinkie ended up eating the cake at the end of the episode

Given that is the "Friendship Express" (Same as in over a barrel, hearth's warming eve and the last roundup), i think it's safe to assume that all of the mane 6 will be in it.

 

Oh Pinkie! I didn't know you partcipated in baking contests! (Although she might just be the carrier...)

 

I'm expecting one of these black and white episodes with first person narrating that every cartoon seems to do. I assume they are spoofing some movie or series, but I dunno wich

[ASpark 49]

C'mon, there's got to be a Sherlock Holmes reference there.

 

I'd certainly appreciate Pinkie saying something like "Elementary, my dear Twilight".

 

And Pinkie wearing a Deerstalker hat or walking around with that wooden pipe that Holmes has.

 

...Please, make it happen.

[KBz 499]

A train? Relevant to my interests.

[Jadefire 2,798]

Rarity did it. Just saying that out loud now.

Rarity did it. Just saying that out loud now.

 

Well, if it is a nod to Christie's Orient Express mystery then it may be the case that everyone played a part in the cake's death....

[Goodra 533]

We should hold bets on this thing and the see who was right. I bet it was ether Spike, the cake Twins or Pinkie herself somehow.

[ProjectRKA 2,848]

It was Fluttermad

[I used to be a stranger 7,994]

It sounds extremely similar to the plot of a chapter in Paper Mario & The Thousand Year Door.

[Swoop 2,279]

Pinkie has been climbing up my favourite pony ranks at an alarming rate, and by the looks of this episode, she's likely going to continue her rise. Noir Pinkie detective? A parody of the 1974 classic 'Murder on the Orient Express'? God I love this show.

[Radiance64 7,059]

Sounds amazing, I'm sure this episode won't dissapoint.

[RippedOffMattress 314]

FIM has been doing a very good job with their references with older shows/movies recently!

 

I mean, The Big Lebowski, I Love Lucy, and now this?

 

Quoting what you've just said, god I love this show! =D

[Doctor XFizzle 8,672]

Like I said in the bulletin post

 

There's been Encyclopedia Brown, The Hardy Boys, Sherlock Holmes, and now...Pinkie Pie

The synopsis reminded me of this.

 

[Arrow 236]

Why is it called MMMystery with 3 m's? :<

[Eenohay 318]

Third speculation thread yet?

[DJ MUFF1N D3RP 323]

Another Pinkie episode? *deep breath* yay! This is going to be a good one too! We've already seen that Pinkie has a unique way of putting together the metaphorical puzzle pieces that make up a mystery, even when given little information to go with, so this will have to be a pretty good mystery to keep her occupied for a whole episode.

Pinkie needs representation! Somebody call Pony Mason!

 

I just thought of something! Has anypony here actually read the Agatha Christie book "Murder on the Orient Express"? I have! Because of that, I bet I know who ruined the cake! I won't say more then that for fear of spoilers to either book or episode!

Why is it called MMMystery with 3 m's? :<

 

Because it's a cake, and cakes are delicious. I know, I thought EqD messed up when I first saw it too.

[Jokuc 8,176]

More Pinkie episodes? Wonderful, but I hope they don't forget the other ponies!

Please spoil the book for me because I read it a year or two ago and I remember nothing, but I want to be able to spot similarities between the episode and the book.
