Meanwhile, Starlight Glimmer and her followers, the Equalists, arrive in Ponyville and convince the Mane 6 to visit their village, where they teach a philosophy of equality by removing cutie marks. Twilight and her friends are curious about this new way of thinking, but they soon realize that Starlight has been removing ponies' cutie marks without their consent in order to make them all equal and suppress their individuality.
