Trixie and her band eliminate Lyra Heartstrings and Sweetie Drops in the second round of the competition. Trixie and the Illusions are the last opponents for the Rainbooms before they could face the Dazzlings in the finals. Trixie finishes her performance, while Sunset interrupts the Rainbooms out of fear of Rainbow Dash exposing her magic to the Dazzlings. The Dazzlings' manipulation of Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna ensure the Rainbooms will be their opposition in the finals.
