Pinke Pie meeting with Gilda

Griffon the Brush-Off is the fifth episode of the first season of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, and first aired on November 12th 2010.

Episode Summary

Pinkie Pie takes a shining to Rainbow Dash, and seeks her help in playing a prank on Spike. The two become fast friends and commence a pranking spree on the rest of their friends. Applejack, Twilight Sparkle, and Rarity are annoyed, but still amused by the good-natured practical jokes.

The next day, Pinkie Pie meets Gilda, Rainbow Dash's griffon friend from Junior Speedster flight camp. Pinkie Pie has prepared another series of pranks for her and Dash to pull. Gilda reminds Dash about a promised flying session, and Dash excuses herself, promising to hang out with Pinkie Pie later. Pinkie accepts this, but is rebuked and threatened by Gilda when she tries to catch up to the two later in the clouds.

Pinkie Pie goes to Twilight Sparkle for advice about Gilda's mean behavior, but Twilight infers that Pinkie Pie is simply jealous of Dash's other friend. Pinkie is upset at Twilight's seeming refusal to take her side, but reflects that maybe Twilight's assessment is true, and enjoys a milkshake alone at Sugar Cube Corner.

Rainbow Dash and Gilda show up and, not noticing Pinkie Pie, part ways briefly so Rainbow Dash can attend to some weather jobs. Pinkie observes Gilda scaring Applesmith's Granny Smith, stealing an apple from a produce stand, and ultimately bullying a well-meaning Fluttershy to the point of tears. Pinkie Pie vows to fix the problem "Pinkie Pie style."

Gilda revealing her true colors to Pinkie Pie and the other ponies

This entails throwing a welcoming party in Gilda's honor. At the party, Gilda is embarrassed at the receiving end of a series of pranks, seemingly enacted by Pinkie Pie. Gilda finally loses her temper, proclaiming all the attendees at the party "dweebs" and calling Pinkie Pie "queen lame-o" for setting up all the pranks. Rainbow Dash reveals that she was the one who set up all the pranks, and after seeing Gilda's mean behavior towards her friends, she breaks off their friendship. Gilda storms out, slamming the door behind her. Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash make up with an electric-buzzered handshake, and Twilight Sparkle apologizes to Pinkie Pie for jumping to conclusions.
