Discord argues that Tree Hugger was driving a wedge between them because Fluttershy invited Tree Hugger instead of him. Fed up, Discord rips open a portal to another dimension, intending to send Tree Hugger through it, but Fluttershy angrily demands that he stop. Twilight and Celestia find that their magic is ineffective against the blob, but Tree Hugger manages to calm the Smooze with some soft singing, causing it to gather up in one place and release everypony.

While he's doing this, the Smooze, having grown to an enormous size, breaks free of the jewelry room and covers the entire floor in slime. Throughout the night, Discord does everything he can to prove that he's better than Tree Hugger, including performing a (bad) stand-up comedy routine after Fluttershy calls Tree Hugger "funny". While Discord is excited to go, he decides that he can't show up alone. It turns out that Discord is invited after all, but the mailpony had trouble finding his way to Discord's house. He returns home in a huff and spends some time stewing over Fluttershy taking somepony else to the Gala, until the mailpony arrives with a ticket. While at Pinkie Pie's cake shop, Discord spots Fluttershy with Tree Hugger, whom Discord immediately takes a dislike to. He visits the rest of the Mane Six in hopes of being invited by one of them, but he finds out they're all taking their sisters to the Gala (except for Twilight, who is in Canterlot preparing for it with Princess Celestia). Discord tries to pretend it doesn't bother him as he storms out of Fluttershy's cottage. Discord is eager to go with her, but Fluttershy, assuming Discord had received his own invitation, already invited a new friend of hers named Tree Hugger. While talking with Discord at their Tuesday tea party, Fluttershy mentions the upcoming Grand Galloping Gala.
