Depiction in the series
Party Favor first appears in The Cutie Map - Part 1 welcoming Twilight Sparkle and her friends when they arrive to the village. He and Double Diamond introduce them to the village's founder Starlight Glimmer. Later in the episode, he, Sugar Belle, and Night Glider express great interest in Twilight and her friends' cutie marks, harboring a desire to have his own back. They inform the six about the vault in which their marks are kept, inadvertently leading them into a trap laid by Starlight.

In The Cutie Map - Part 2, when Fluttershy appears to convert to the town's ways, Starlight Glimmer asks her to identify the ponies who told the Mane Six about the vault. Party Favor takes the blame for Sugar Belle and Night Glider, protecting them from punishment. When he is locked up with the rest of the Mane Six, he accepts that it is useless to rebel against Starlight. Upon his release, he begs her forgiveness. When Fluttershy reveals to the villagers that Starlight Glimmer still has her cutie mark, Party Favor feels deceived and betrayed. He and the other villagers turn against Starlight to reclaim their cutie marks. He, Sugar Belle, Night Glider, and Double Diamond then pursue a retreating Starlight through the mountains to recover the Mane Six's cutie marks, during which he makes binoculars and a bridge out of balloons. After Starlight escapes, he thanks Twilight and her friends for helping them realize what they've truly been missing in their lives.
