Production and airing
The episode was #6 in the We Heart Ponies Fan Favorite Mare-a-thon, in the leadup to Hearts and Hooves Day. The Treehouse TV airing of this episode mutes out all occurrences of the word "losers."
Summary
Gummy's birthday party
At the beginning of the episode, Pinkie Pie visits each of her friends and sings invitations to Gummy's one-year birthday party. When she is finished, she is exhausted and remarks to Gummy, "Next time, I think I'll just pass out written invitations."

Happy birthday, you crazy alligator you!
Rarity compliments Pinkie’s punch, but spits it all over Pinkie's face when she sees Gummy dipping in the punch bowl. She forces a smiles and sips more punch, but spits it into a plant pot when Pinkie turns away. Pinkie joins Twilight and Fluttershy, who compliment her party. Pinkie accidentally knocks Twilight and Fluttershy into a wall while dancing, but later all the friends and Gummy dance together. That night, when the ponies are leaving, Twilight suggests that they "do this again soon,” and Pinkie agrees.
Gummy's after-birthday party

Time for another party!
Pinkie goes to Sweet Apple Acres to invite Applejack. She nervously says she can't go because she has to pick apples. Pinkie scrutinizes her for a few seconds, smiles, and says, "Okey-dokey-lokey!"
The scene changes to Carousel Boutique, where Rarity is watching Spike take out the trash. She tells him to take a shower because he smells, and he adoringly floats in the air while emitting pink heart-shaped bubbles. Pinkie comes along and invites Rarity to the party. She declines, saying she has to wash her hair. When Pinkie says her hair doesn't look dirty, Rarity dips her head in the trash and gallops back into the boutique. Pinkie reassures herself, "A party is still a party even with only two guests."
Outside Fluttershy’s cottage, Pinkie invites Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy. Dash says they'd love to go, but they have to house-sit for "Harry," a bear. Pinkie is surprised that there is a bear living in a house in Ponyville. The two Pegasi hastily elaborate on their excuse before they fly off.Something strange is going on
Back at Sugarcube Corner, Pinkie wonders how all her friends are busy. She sees Twilight sneaking into the shop and uses a tin can telephone to eavesdrop on Twilight’s hushed conversation with Mrs. Cake. Twilight picks up a wrapped package and leaves.

What could be more inconspicuous?
Right then, Rainbow Dash walks by Pinkie and accidentally greets her. Demanding to know what her friends are up to, Pinkie chases Dash all the way to the Sweet Apple Acres barn. Applejack slams the door shut before Pinkie can get in. Pinkie asks to take a look inside the barn, but Applejack tells her there's construction going on and she can't come in. Angered, Pinkie leaves, and Applejack and the others sigh in relief.
Pinkie interrogates Spike

Pinkie makes Spike tell her what she wants to hear.
- "Tell me that my friends are all lying to me and avoiding me because they don't like my parties and they don't want to be my friends anymore!"
- — Pinkie Pie
Spike repeats it and Pinkie cries, “Ah-ha! I knew it!” Her hair "deflates" and loses its curliness, and her coloration turns darker. Surrounded by darkness under a cone of light, she sadly repeats Spike's confession. She hands Spike the spread of gems.
"Creepytown"

Pinkie Pie losing the few marbles she had left.
Surprise

Pinkie, back to her "normal" self.
Quotes
- For more quotes, see the episode's transcript.
- Pinkie Pie: Ooh, this is my jam!
- Pinkie Pie: You said we should have another party soon, and... it's soon! Here’s your invitation!
- Pinkie Pie: Oh! And Twilight, you shouldn't hit the books. You should really just read them.
- Applejack: Um... well... I don't think I can make it because... I have to... You know what? Pick apples! Yep! Apples! That's what we do. With... uh... apples. ...We.. uh... pick 'em.
- Spike: Anything else I can do for you, most beautiful one?
- Rarity: [sniff] [whimper] Hmm... perhaps you could take a bath. How do I put this delicately? You smell like a rotten apple core that’s been wrapped in moldy hay, and dipped in dragon perspiration.
- Fluttershy: [over Rainbow Dash] Collect sea shells! ...Play beach volleyball! ...Collect volleyballs!
- Rainbow Dash: [over Fluttershy] Play beach volleyball! ...Collect sea shells! ...Play sea shells!
- Rainbow Dash: Gotta go!
- Pinkie Pie: No, no, no. Talk about our friends.
- Spike: Oh, okay. Let's see, there's Twilight Sparkle: she's a unicorn. Good with magic, a real brainiac. And then you got Rarity! Total knockout. Twilight seems to think I don't have a chance with her, but, meh... what does she know? Let's see, there's Fluttershy, a pegasus afraid of heights. Huh, what's up with that?
- Spike: I’m the one who spilled juice all over Twilight’s copy of Magical Mysteries and Practical Potions!
- Pinkie Pie: And?
- Spike: And I’m the one who used up all the hot water in Ponyville yesterday when I took a seven-hour bubble bath!
- Pinkie Pie: Aaand?
- Spike: And sometimes... when no one’s around... I do this: Lookin' good, Spike! Lookin’ real good!
- [low string instrument whine]
- Rocky: Not so bad? Please! They’re a buncha losers!
- Pinkie Pie: Oh, c’mon now. “Losers” might be a little strong, dont'cha think?
- Sir Lintsalot: After the way they treated you? I say “losers” isn't strong enough.
- Pinkie Pie: Well, it was pretty rude...
- Madame Le Flour: Pretty rude? It was down right deeespicable!
- Pinkie Pie: It was, wasn't it?
- Mr. Turnip: If I were you, I wouldn't speak to them ever again.
- Pinkie Pie: You know what? I’m not gonna speak to them ever again. And I’m not gonna invite them to another party as long as I live! They don’t deserve to be invited to my parties. [blink] Not after the way they've been acting.
- Madame Le Flour: [clapping] Deeespicable!
- Sir Lintsalot: Such losers!
- Madame Le Flour: Yes, zat's right.
- Pinkie Pie [as Mr. Turnip]: Well done.
- Pinkie Pie [as Sir Lintsalot]: Yeah!
- Pinkie Pie [as Rocky]: You show ’em!
- (knock at door)
- Pinkie Pie: [normal voice] Who could that be?
- Rainbow Dash: Hey there Pinkie Pie. Sorry I was in such a rush earlier. Had some place to be and couldn't slow down and say hello. You know how it goes.
- Pinkie Pie: [gritting her teeth:] I know how it goes alright.
- Rainbow Dash: Yeah, so why don't you come with me over to Sweet Apple Acres?
- Pinkie Pie: No thanks. I'm spending time with my real friends. Isn't that right, Madame Le Flour? [as Madame Le Flour]: Oui! Zat iz correct, madame.

- Pinkie Pie: Another slice of cake, Sir Lintsalot? [as Sir Lintsalot] I would love one.
- Rainbow Dash: Alrighty, what do you say we get out of creepytown and head over to Applejack's—
- Pinkie Pie: [as Mr. Turnip] She's not going anywhere. [normal voice] I most certainly am not. I'm having a wonderful time right here.
- Rainbow Dash: You should really just come with me—
- Pinkie Pie [as Rocky]: You heard the lady! She ain't goin' nowheres, chump!
- Rainbow Dash: Who you calling a chump, chump?! [Rocky falls over] Ugh... That’s it. Party’s over. Come on, Pinkie Pie!
- Pinkie Pie: No!
