Plot

Things heat up right away when the episode opens with a giant speaker/octopus like monster causing havoc on stage.

The tentacles have wrapped themselves around Baby who claims it's just misunderstood. G each gives the girls a task. Baby innocently tells the monster that she also gets upset when hungry. Angel distracts the monster by holding up a "female" monster while Love pulls the cord. Music swings in on a power jack cord and rescues Baby. The monster short circuits and returns the speaker to normal. The girls remind Baby not to try and cuddle every single monster (or robot, etc) she sees. Baby is disappointed, but the clock rings and Baby runs off to hug something, much to the other girls disappointment. Back at the lounge, the girls talk about how Baby's cute obsession has led to 17 rescue mission in that week alone. They try to find her something less lethal and Rudie pops in and makes a whinny but says he was just horsing around which gives G an idea.

The girls bring Baby out to her giant wrapped present, and introduces her to "Pistachio", a pony-corn.

Baby immediately falls in love with him and rides him around the field. After testing out her equestrian skills, Baby mentions that she is eligible to sign up for the pony-corn race which she feels they're ready for.

Mauve Madison is providing live coverage of the race and mentions that, despite being about the pony-corns, there is major fashion going on off-field with the audience wearing stylish hats. Rudie strolls in and tells the girls they look fabulous, which is good, because he just booked them a gig as the ending ceremony of the equestrian show. An elderly lady with a baton takes the stage and announces herself as Phillipa Crop, a 16-time equestrian champion and judging official. She gives the audience the cue to applaud, much to their confusion. Phillipa welcomes the competitors into the arena and the girls cheer for Baby. Through the use of her binoculars, G notices one of the ponies, Night Sky, is turning evil. The pony grabs it's owner by the hat and eats it when a giant net captures it. The girls worry for Baby's saftey.

The first round begins, which is the rainbow hurdles. Baby and Pistachio take an early lead and successfully jump the first hurdle and continue to take the lead until Troy and Candy Frenzy ride up, neck to neck. Candy Frenzy begins to turn evil and bucks Troy off, eating his hat, and suffering the same fate as Night Sky. Baby manages to win the first event and the girls celebrate, but also question the actions of the pony-corns, what is happening to them that makes them turn violent? G wants to take Baby out of the race but the other girls think she's just being overprotective. Angel mentions that Colonel Spike's security guards are all over the arena. Rudy comes up with a plan to get the girls on the field. A makeshift horse costume held up by Music, Love, and Angel, is G's only chance to get to Baby. One of the guards stops them short of the field before asking to feed the pony which ends up being a problem. They manage to get away from the guard and enter the field.

The girls split up, Music is in charge of finding where the evil is coming from, so she immediately checks the little "dictator" section and questions Nofun who says only a monster would dislike pony-corns. The next event, pony rhythmic gymnastics, begins. The girls see an opportune time to get to Baby, but the spotlight shines down on them and Phillipa asks them to introduce themselves, which they do as "Tiffany and Tiffany" and gives them a ribbon to dance with. G struggles to use the ribbon but manages to meet up with Baby, who is shocked to see her out there. The girls came out to protect her from any potential danger, which Baby says that's sweet, and it's time to go jump over the lava pit.

Outside, Music intimidates Yelda Googoo, one of the other riders, to admit he's behind the evil pony corns, when one of the ponies tackles him to the ground and eats his hat. Music catches Phillipa Crop using her baton as a magic wand and questions her actions. She admits that the event has become more of a fashion competition than a showcase of the pony-corns. Phillipa won't stop until all the hats have been destroyed and blasts Music with a bolt of magic, using her wand to unleash the rampant pony-corns. They charge madly towards Baby (whose wearing a funky fruit hat). G uses some spray whipped topping on her hat and taunts the pony-corns in her direction.

The girls get tangled up inside their costume and trip over the rainbow hurdles, exposing Love and Angel and a tuckered out G. The pony-corns, still in pursuit of them, are met with a determined Baby and loyal Pistachio. Baby swoops in and saves the girls.

Phillipa Crop yells for the girls to give their hats or Pistachio will get zapped. Music takes the wand away from Phillipa, and the girls toss their hats on to her head, and the pony-corns chase after her.

The girls are seen on stage waving at the audience, and they are able to return the pony-corns to their normal, cute state. As they're about to begin, the tentacle speaker monster returns, but Baby says she'll handle it. In the next shot, the speaker is seen relaxing with a magazine, Baby giving it's tentacles a blow dry with the hairdryer.

• This is the second title card that has a rainbow, the previous being Game Over.
• This is also the second title card to feature Baby.
• This is the third appearance of General Nofun.
• The hat G wears during the Ponycorn race is the exact layout of their lounge tower.
• When the girls talk about the "encounters" Baby has had with previous monsters, they mention the "Abominable Snowcone", a parody of the Abominable Snowman, "Dog-zilla", a parody of Godzilla, and the "frog-neck monster" which is a parody of the Loch-Ness Monster.
• The plot about the hats could be possibly based on the Melbourne Cup Day races in Australia, where it is traditional for ostentatious hats to be worn.

Music: Wouldn't get your hopes up about the smell.

G: But we're all sure that you're gonna love it. Say hello to your new best friend Pistachio.

[Ponycorn neighs]

Baby: A ponycorn!?

Love: Scientific name, Eques Unihornus.

Music: Half pony, half unicorn.

Angel: All kawaii!

Baby: I- I- love him! Giddyup, Pistachio!

[Neighs]

G: Whoah, careful, Baby! Just dont- hurt yourself?

Music: This isn't her first rodeo.

Love: Or she's a natural equestrian and she's good at riding too.

Baby: My own ponycorn, yaay! Now I can ride in the Ponycorn Cup!

Love: The prestigious Ponycorn Cup is Harajuku's premier equestrian ponycorn event.

G: Are you and Pistachio ready for that?

Baby: What do you say, Pistachio?

[Neigh]

Music: I think that was ponycorn for "yes".

Baby: Hi-ho, Pistachio!

[Neigh]

Mauve Madison: Ciao, pony peeps and podgers, Mauve Madison at the pony-tastic Ponycorn Cup. But let's face it, it's not about the critters on-field, it's about the fancy fashions off-field, namely the hippest hats in Harajuku. Everyone who's anyone is here with their hairy heads wedged into their hip hats.

Rudie: W-O-W, you ladies look spec-tacular!

G: Thanks, Rudie.

Rudie: Perfect for the gig I just booked for the closing ceremony of the equestrian show.

Philippa Kropp: Quiet, please. It is I, Philippa Kropp, 16-time Ponycup champion and the judging official. You may applaud.

[Clapping]

Philippa Kropp: Competitors, to the arena. Troy Story and Candy Frenzy, Yelda Googoo and Sodafizz, Baby and Pistachio.

HJ5: Yay, Baby!

Philippa Kropp: Lance-o-Lot and Night Sky.

[Zap!]

G: Uh-oh! Girls? Anyone else seeing what I'm seeing?

Mauve Madison: Night Sky appears to be afflicted with some kind of attitude. Looks like Lance is in a Lot-o-Trouble!

Lance-o-Lot: Gasp! Please don't eat... my hat?

Love: [Gasp]

[Smack!]

Angel: That poor, innocent hat!

Love: Hat-ricide has been outlawed forever.

G: Forget the hat, what about Baby?

Rudie: She's over there warming up.

Baby: [Grunting]

Philippa Kropp: Enough [?]. Event one: Rainbow hurdles. Let the games begin!

[Fanfare]

Mauve Madison: And they're off and trotting. Baby and Pistachio take an early lead, and they're over the rainbow. Sodafizz and Candy Frenzy better giddy on up!

Yelda Googoo: Uh? Ohh-! [Thud]

Mauve Madison: Down goes Yelda Googoo.

G: I can't watch.

Mauve Madison: One rainbow to go.

Baby: Woohoo! [Laughs] Weee! Yeehaw!

Mauve Madison: Down the stretch they come! It's Pistachio! It's Candy Frenzy! It's Pistachio! It's Candy Frenzy! It's- [Zap!] A rampaging pony beast?

[Angry whinny]

Mauve Madison: Yelda's a no-go.

[Growling]

Jo Jo Jolie: Oh, dear!

[Chomp]

Mauve Madison: Once again, bad things happen to good hats.

[Burp, angry whinnying]

Baby: [Laughing]

Music: Baby's rocking it! But what was up with those two ponycorns going berzerk out there?

Love: Something's wrong. Ponycorns don't transmutate spontaneously, it's unprecedented!

Rudie: Really? So it's rare and cool! [Ka-Ching!]

G: Love's right, something's wrong here, and Baby's right in the middle of it! We need to get her out of there now!

Music: We can't yank her out of the competition. Chill, G; Baby's fine.

Love: She's also, I might point out, kicking copious amounts of butt!

G: Fine, but we need to find out what's going on.

Angel: How? Colonel Spyke's soldiers are working security, and they're everywhere.

Rudie: Fret not, ladies, the Rude-man has a foolproof plan!

G: Really, Rudie? Foolproof?

Rudie: Trust me, you look great from where I'm standing.

Music: That's cuz you're not standing in the rear end of a horse!

Love: The head section is no picnic!

Angel: Yeah, well, I'm sandwiched between the two of you, but G's sitting on me!

G: Come on, Baby needs us. Let's try a little giddy up.

Love, Angel, Music: Ow!

Soldier: Stop, you're not going anywhere!

G: Uh, we're not?

Soldier: Not without letting me feed this adorable ponycorn! Here, pony-wony, a little sugar-wugar for you? What kind of ponycorn-y doesn't like an ice cubey-wubey of sugar?

Angel: Love, just take it already!

Love: [Spits] Ugh! I mean- [Neighs]

G: We're in! Music, go see if you can find out who's behind these pony beast mutations. We'll go find Baby.

Music: I know just where to look, the rotten little dictator section! Uh, could someone push me out of this ponycorn's butt?

Music: Stop hating on the ponycorns, NoFun!

General NoFun: Me? I might hate fun, but only a monster hates ponycorns!

Philippa Kropp: [Blows trumpet] Ponycorn rhythmic gymnastics.

G: Let's get closer. If Baby's in danger, we'll zip in and save her.

Philippa Kropp: And who are we?

G: We are, or rather I'm-

Love: Tiffany!

Philippa Kropp: I see. And the ponycorn?

Love: Tiffany!

G: Tiffany and Tiffany, that's us!

Philippa Kropp: Very well, Tiffany's, impress me.

G: Here goes. [Grunts]

Baby: G, you didn't tell me you had a ponycorn!

G: We're here to protect you. Whoa-! [Straining] Just wanted to...make sure you're not in any...danger!

Baby: That's so sweet, guys! Gotta go jump over the lava pit now.

G: [Straining] Well, we're right here if you need us. Whoa-! [Thud]

Love: Is it over?

Angel: Did we win?

Music: Suspect number two! The game's up, Yelda! Don't give me those goo-goo eyes!

[Neigh]

Yelda Googoo: [Groan] [Gasp] Ohh!

Music: Philippa Kropp? It's you! But why?

Philippa Kropp: Look at them all! Even that NoFun guy is so obsessed with his hideous hat, no one cares about the ponycorns anymore! And now, with my army of pony beasts, I will not stop until all the hats are vanquished!

Music: The hats? Seriously? Because as far as villain motivations go, this is- [Zap, smack] lame...

[Zap]

[Neighing]

G: It's okay, Baby; we got your back. Hey, hat eaters! Come and get it! Quick, uh, giddyup, Tiffany!

Love: Oww! That was my clavicle!

G: Sorry, got caught up in the moment.

Love: Angel, reduce speed! Tiffany's butt is passing our head!

Angel: Sorry!

G: Both of you jump, now!

G, Love, Angel: Whoaaah! [Grunt] [Gasp]

Baby: Hi-ho, Pistachio! Gotcha!

[Laughter]

[Cheers]

G: Thanks, Baby!

Baby: G, I've always got your back.

G: And I've always got yours.

Philippa Kropp: Stop right there! Give me all your hideous hats, or your ponycorn gets zippity-zapped! [Gasp]

Music: Not gonna happen. You still want some hats?

Philippa Kropp: Wait, no! I didn't mean- !

[Neighing]

Philippa Kropp: Ohhhhh!

Angel: Poor hats! Why is life so hard?

Baby: Yay, hug o'clock!

Love: Just one last thing.

[Zap]

[Neighing]

G: Tick tock, time to rock! Let's go, girls! A one, and a two-

[Roaring]

Baby: I got this. So, what've you been up to?

[Roaring]

Baby: Yoga-lates? It's totally paying off.

[Roaring]
