(Twilight and Zecora butt heads)
Applebloom: Zecora! I told her to stay put! It's time to pony up and confront Zecora! Lotus: Miss Zecora. None of these books have a cure! Other way! Rose: The wicked enchantress has cursed them all! She lives in...THE EVERFREE FOREST! Spike, the word "supernatural" refers to things like ghosts, and spirits, and zombies, which are as make-believe as curses. They're just an old pony tale. Those leaves of blue are not a joke! Twilight: (horn flops) But I tried to find a cure in all my books and couldn't find anything. Twilight: A zebra! Twilight: And maybe she's not LURKING by the stores. Twilight: I bet all of Ponyville is gonna be out enjoying the sunshine. Twilight: I think what she's saying is that when we ran in to save Applebloom, we ran into the Poison Joke. Twilight: Well, we better go find them. We'll go to Zecora's and force her to remove this hex! Zecora: Treasures of the native land where I am from. Zecora: [chuckle] Maybe next time you will take a second look, and not judge the cover of the book.

An encouraged Apple Bloom goes off to follow Zecora to her home, and the others quickly follow once they notice her missing. They recover Apple Bloom just as she enters a field of blue flowers, where Zecora warns them off. The next day, Twilight and her friends find themselves suffering from strange problems, leading the others to conclude Zecora has cursed them. They find Apple Bloom missing again, and assume Zecora took her. They race to Zecora's hut and confront her, only to find her and Apple Bloom making a potion to cure them of the afflictions, which were caused by the Poison Joke flowers they had stepped in the day before. Once cured, Twilight and her friends convince the townsfolk to be more trusting of Zecora.
