spoiler Season 5 Episode & Synopsis List

[CastletonSnob 3,074]

Think the ratings will be low for Saturday's episode because of 4th of July?

[MAIKUN 262]

Canterlot Boutique would be the one when Rarity decides to move her business to Canterlot, right guys?

[Odyssey 5,716]

So now that we know that the list is true, I thought it would be nice to do a little bit of speculation.

• Princess Luna has a nightmare, episode based on that most likely?

Either Scare Master or Hearthsbreaker. Of the two Scare Master seems the most likely where we'll see Luna struggle. That, or it'll probably also happen in Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep.

• This season has the 100th episode, which is sufficiently awesome and focused on characters that have been on the show for a while, but mainly in the background. Coco Pommel returns for one!

While Coco doesn't appear in Slice of Life, they still have made it clear that she will make a return sometime soon. If that's the case, I'm going to assume the she'll either appear in Canterlot Boutique, Rarity Investigates, Made in Manehatten or The Mane Attraction. Of the four, Made in Manehatten seems the most likely.

• Maud Pie returns.  Entire Pie family episode.

This'll most likely happen in The One Who Pinkie Pie Knows. From what we've seen so far, this'll probably be the only other Pinkie Pie episode of Season 5.

 

McCarthy also teased in a recent Q&A that Cadance and Shining Armor might have a child. If that were the case, I'm going to say it'll either happen in Brotherhooves Social, Hearthsbreaker or The Mane Attraction. I can't say which one would fit this plot the most, but still.

 

What do you guys think?

[Radiance64 7,053]

With names like Canterlot Boutique, Rarity Investigates, and Made in Manehatten, it makes me hope we are getting 3 Rarity episodes...

Please in the name of all that is generous and fabulous

[WriteCodes46 178]

The synopsis of all episodes (except Episode 20) of the second half of Season 5 have been leaked by the same person who leaked the episode list. You can find them in the OP.

[Megas 27,566]

Just gonna copypasta what I said in the last thread:

 

 

 

 

First off none of these sound like a RariDash episode, a Scootaloo episode, or a Celestia episode

 

Honestly, among these, the only ones that sound remotely interesting(aside from the finale) are What About Discord, Brotherhooves Social, and Canterlot Boutique. In particular, the parts with with more Shining in "Brotherhooves"(and helping with Big Mac, AJ and Twilight no less) and Discord trying to befriend Angel and Rainbow Dash in "What about Discord"(especially with them seeming to dislike Discord the most), is something I've been interested in seeing. But that's where my hope seems to end.

 

First off, no mention of the Pinkie Pie family episode is a red flag(though conveniently, the episode "The One that Pinkie Knows" isn't mentioned). I REALLY don't know what to think of Made in Manehattan. Scare Master sounds like a blatant rehash of Luna Eclipsed. Not sure what to think of Crusaders of the Lost Mark since it supposedly involves Starlight Glimmer. The Hoofields and the McColts honestly sounds really boring. And there's no mention of the adult pony who doesn't have a cutie mark

 

Still gonna take all of these with a grain of salt

Brotherhooves Social - a R63 of Sisterhooves Social

I think the episode will be about Shining Armor and Spike

[immblueversion 331]

It seems there has been another leak from Season 5 on 4chan, and this time it's plot synopses and other tidbits for every episode from the season's second half based on the episode list that was leaked earlier this April (except for the episode "The One Where Pinkie Pie Knows"):

 

 

 

 

 

Word has it that the same anonymous user who released the episode list (which we can safely assume is genuine at this point) also released this information, but I haven't found this direct claim, let alone any confirmation that the claim was ever made. What makes this list suspicious, however, is that it was released a day after the MLP panel at 2015 SDCC, so it's possible this is simply speculation based on what's already known. It also seems to conflict with previously known information from last year's SDCC and PonyCon AU among other places, but it only raises the question: is that previous info accurate, or have we misinterpreted some of it?

 

For example...

 

 

According to Equestria Daily's coverage of 2014's SDCC, "Maud Pie returns" and there will be an "entire Pie family episode" (http://www.equestriadaily.com/2014/07/sdcc-2014-panel-summary-equestria-girls.html).

 

Then, after PonyCon AU that same year, EQD reported that "Maud Pie returns in a Hearths [sic] Warming (Christmas) episode" (http://www.equestriadaily.com/2015/02/more-season-5-reveals-including-episode.html).

 

And most recently during 2015's SDCC, EQD reported that "Apple Family stuff [is] on the way, with [a] Hearthswarming [sic] Eve episode on the way for it", seemingly contradicting the Pie family info (http://www.equestriadaily.com/2015/07/sdcc-pony-panel-major-news-points.html).

 

If we put this all together, we can assume that the Hearth's Warming Eve episode will be about the Apples and the Pies. But the leaked list makes no direct mention of any of the Pies in the Hearth's Warming Eve episode, and the only mention comes from the episode "The Hooffields and McColts" where Orchard Blossom (a character name-dropped at SDCC) would play a brief part revealing the link between the two families.

 

Even if it turns out the list is fake, the more reliable information we've gotten seems pretty fragmented, and we already know that Maud already came back in the Gala episode. This raises many questions: Are we just assuming we're getting an Apple/Pie Hearth's Warming Eve episode using pieces that may not even be related in the first place? Will Maud make an extra solo appearance like the Gala episode? And was the announcement of the Pie family episode meant to be an entirely separate bullet point altogether?

 

 

Only time will tell on whether or not we should believe this list. Until then, get your salt grains handy and feel free to discuss what you think of these potential details for MLP's future, if you dare.

Okay first off, whoever is leaking this information really needs to get fired. Shouldn't they've signed a contract agreeing to not leak this stuff?

 

Second, some of these seem interesting, and others seem like rehashes. (Looking at you Scar Master). Didn't read the one for the finalie. Don't want to be spoiled too much. I'm guessing the Pie family one is The One Where Pinkie Pie knows.

[WriteCodes46 178]

I'm thinking both the Apple and Pie families could appear in the Hearths Warming Eve episode. There's nothing directly contradictory about it.

 

 

22 - What About Discord? also sounds like a rehash of 7 - Make New Friends but Keep Discord.

Some of the titles seem fake.

That list was released in April. We only knew, like, the first 6 titles for the season at the time. I have little doubt that the others are real.

It's possible that simply no one has mentioned at once everything that will be in that episode. The part about Maud Pie was directly answering a question of wherever she was going to appear in Season 5.

[Sidral Mundet 1,666]

Well here the problem with the new synopses, we have no way of knowing if it's legit at the moment.  The previously leaked list lends it credibility as well as the fact the it doesn't necessarily contradict anything we were told and no one in official power is going to confirm or deny the list on top of  it makes little sense outside of trolling for someone to waste so much effort to create a fake list and not claim any responsibility yet trolling could still very well be an option. At the current moment I have no reason to confirm OR deny the list. 

 

Also as a side note: I'd like to mention given the mini-hiatus it could be very likely that the titles for the upcoming episodes could change, given that that's not a huge edit, unlike completely rewriting an episode.

The credibility right now lies in the informer; he first revealed the titles and synopsis of a few early Season 5 episodes, which turned out to be correct, and he later leaked the episode list, which has also turned out to be correct so far. The future episodes also match with things the writers have said, so there's little reason to believe he would suddenly start making up false information.

[MAIKUN 262]

I think episodes 25-26 is a ponified version of Shrek Forever After and It's A Wonderful Life and BTFF Part 2

But it lies in it still being the same person as before and not someone else copying them, thought I personally doubt that.  My main reason for skepticism is mostly founded on the unaccredited nature of the leak, yet more so the pattern of the leaks suggest it be accurate for the most part, but also that correlation does not imply causation as well as some natural resistance to the story ideas themselves so I am very much on the fence but ultimately lean towards them being more accurate than fake.

He's fairly certainly the same person. Some of those synopsis do sound a bit far-fetched, but so did many titles on the leaked list.

Titles have more flexibility in terms of sensibility. The odd things out for me are the near back to back to back Rarity episodes with no real dedicated Fluttershy (Brotherhoof Social is a bit iffy on that regard given the large cast at play according to the leaks) or Applejack story in the season as well as similar repeats of story ideas for the Luna and Discord episodes and Sunset Shimmer's return seems too good/out there to be true for the finale.

I'm not denying that it couldn't happen, it's just the reasoning does seem odd as previous season have tried for the most part had the Mane 6 to have at least one to two episodes dedicated to each member of the group (sans S3 with no Rarity episode) spread out though the season as well as maintaining EQG as a separate universe (though EQG 3 could very well change that maybe making it's placement in the middle of the season more than coincidence) which is why my "Alarm bells" as it were are going off, as I'm comparing one data trend to another and debating which is the more likely outcome.

It does seem unbalanced, but I wouldn't put it past the writers to neglect some characters, specially Applejack.

The plot for Season 5 Episode 23 will remind me of this current Australian Campaign.

Now there is another reason about looking forward to Season 5 Episode 24, Sweetie Belle episode! Move out of the way everypony, I am gonna be in the front of the Hype Train.

[cybershocker455 324]

I'll take this with a grain of salt but personally I think it's ridiculous how we have 3 Rarity episodes airing in such a short amount of time. While I personally think her episodes are the strongest out of the Mane 6, I think we're giving a bit too much focus on her. Still I think the idea of repairing the broken relationship between Coco Pommel and Suri Polomare is an interesting since we get to learn more about the two (though it can potentially contradict the trading card info, which has been legit so far: http://www.equestriadaily.com/2015/04/tons-of-season-5-information-hidden-in.html,

 http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-o3ccD0ADalM/VTFUTDAjg6I/AAAAAAACNXA/1vVcvOxD_UM/s1600/GLORIOUS%2BPOMMEL.png)

 

Also, no episodes focusing on Scootaloo, Rainbow Dash, or the Wonderbolts, really? I seriously hope season 6 more than makes up for this.

 

Despite my ranting, I'm still excited for the second half of this season, weird how they're focusing on Twist of all ponies in an episode though. I really love how we're another focus episode on Luna and Discord, I'm pretty sure they'll have an episode where they share spotlight, that's one of my hopes for season 6.
