This episode will air May 7, 2016.
Before the show begins, Rainbow Dash takes Scootaloo aside, telling her to kick a storm cloud in Dash's way at just the right time, letting Rainbow fly through a thunderbolt for a grand entrance. As the show begins, Pinkie Pie gets cotton candy while the Wonderbolts, Dash included, perform their aerial stunts. The routine goes well until the end, where Dash breaks formation to head towards the thundercloud. However, Dash misjudges the distance, and ends up spectacularly crashing, including smashing through Pinkie's cotton candy. After Dash is patched up, Spitfire incredulously demands to know why Dash broke formation. Rainbow admits that she's caused nothing but trouble, and says that maybe she's not Wonderbolt material after all. Soarin counters that she's a great flyer, and that Wonderbolts admit all of them have embarrassing nicknames, many from a terrible experience on their first day. However, Spitfire says that she needs to learn how to act as part of a team without being a showoff. Spitfire lets Rainbow Dash stay in the Wonderbolts... but, as punishment for breaking formation, Rainbow is on cleaning duty for a month.
That night, as Rainbow cleans up the show grounds by herself, the Mane Six come over to try and console her, only to find that she's in a good mood. After all, Dash says, now she's a Wonderbolt.
