Sunset's Backstage Pass aired on Jon Discovery Family.


K-Lo and Su-Z despair over no longer being able to repeat the day, but Sunset reassures them that their fans just want to see them performing and having fun. They confront the duo just as the show begins Pinkie knocks the Time Twirler off K-Lo's hair bow and Sunset destroys it, permanently breaking its spell. They have been using its spell to reset the day every time something goes wrong with their set, in order to deliver a flawless performance.Ī security guard expels Sunset and Pinkie at PostCrush's request, but later readmits them. The two sneak backstage to meet PostCrush and discover the pair found the Time Twirler on the night before the festival. Resolving to treat Pinkie better, Sunset indulges her in a range of activities on the next repetition. The lyrics of a song by the Sirens lead Sunset and her friends to believe that they are using the Time Twirler, but Adagio Dazzle explains to Sunset that they never regained their magic after losing it and have nothing to do with the time loop. Sunset decides to find whoever is using the artifact and bring an end to the time loop. Twilight replies by telling Sunset the time loop is caused by a magical Equestrian artifact called the Time Twirler. The next day, Sunset sends a message to Princess Twilight Sparkle in Equestria. She commandeers the recreational vehicle in which she and her friends are camping and tries to flee the site, but it breaks down and leaves her stuck in the time loop. Sunset is shocked to discover that she is still reliving the same day time after time, despite having achieved her goal, and blames Pinkie for the situation. On the next repetition of the day, Sunset leaves Pinkie behind and gets a front-row spot to see PostCrush perform, unaware of Pinkie's heartbreak and the other girls' disapproval of her decision. She tries to keep Pinkie from being sidetracked, but Pinkie again breaks the churro cart and gets both of them expelled. When Sunset wakes up the next morning, she finds that she is reliving the first day of the festival. As she sits despondently on a hilltop overlooking the site, a blast of magical energy suddenly washes over her. The two are expelled from the festival after Pinkie destroys a churro vendor's cart, and Sunset angrily rejects Pinkie's attempted apology. Throughout the first day, Sunset deals with a number of minor annoyances, many of which involve an easily distracted Pinkie. Sunset Shimmer and Pinkie Pie are excited at the prospect of a reunion performance by PostCrush, their favorite pop duo, comprising vocalist/guitarist Kiwi Lollipop (K-Lo) and drummer Supernova Zap (Su-Z).
