- Apple Bloom finally gets her cutie mark, but she panics at unexpected second, third, and more cutie marks.
- Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle are still attempting to do what they can to get their cutie-marks. However, their attempts still leave them no closer to their goals. Though Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle are ok, Apple Bloom is the only one who really feels disappointed in their latest attempts.
Going to visit Zecora, Apple Bloom tells her how she really wants a cutie-mark as soon as possible, but Zecora tells her that she must be patient. Apple Bloom notes Zecora using a flower called Heart's Desire, which can help people with their problems. Apple Bloom hints to Zecora if this flower could help her, but Zecora tells her to still be patient.
The next day, Apple Bloom's friends and classmates are surprised to see her with a hoop for a cutie \[mark! They then watch as she uses a hoop and performs all kinds of amazing tricks. As she continues to perform, a second cutie-mark appears, this one showing balancing of bowls on sticks. Everyone is soon surprised when Apple Bloom performs this and her hoop tricks!
Applejack is so happy for her younger sister, but shortly after she is put to sleep, the sound of loud noises is heard from Apple Bloom's room, and Apple Jack finds her younger sister dancing uncontrollably, and a third cutie-mark (this one of a dancing shoe) appearing on her flank.
They then go to Twilight Sparkle hoping to find a cure. Looking through her library, Twilight finds a book telling of a disease called 'Cutie Pox,' in which some ponies broke out in a number of cutie-marks, causing them to perform the talent that each cutie-mark shows. However, no known cure is known, as eventually, the Cutie-Pox went away.
Twilight and Applejack attempt to take Applebloom to Zecora to see if she may have a cure, but are sidelined when Applebloom's Cutie-Pox grows worse. However, Zecora just happened to be coming into town to see if she could obtain more of the Heart's Desire plant for her wares...since some mysteriously vanished recently.
Hearing about AppleBloom's predicament, she has some special seeds planted in the ground, that will blossom into a plant that can help her, if 'someone' tells the truth. Pinkie Pie attempts to do so, but nothing happens. Finally, AppleBloom confesses to taking some of Zecora's Heart's Desire and mixing it up to give her a potion to make a Cutie Mark appear.
As expected, a flower appears, and AppleBloom eats it...causing her Cutie-Pox to disappear. Once cured, she apologizes to Zecora for taking her things, and the Zebra accepts her apology. AppleBloom then is allowed, at Twilight Sparkle's request, to send a letter to Princess Celestia regarding patience and waiting.
