Well, I sort of expected this turn of events; we already know that the 'elements' don't have physical embodiments, and the necklaces just seemed to form when the elements of harmony were used (probably for marketing purposes on Hasbro's part, though not sure). Discord effectively hid the elements when he entranced all Twilight's friends.

However, I wasn't expecting Discord to let Twilight Sparkle and her friends to keep trying to find the elements: it seems out of character, and maybe that's because of those limits on violence/meanness children's shows have. At any rate, I'd still watch it.

Not too spoilery. Pretty much everything in here could be inferred from the first episode.

Discord seems to be alone with Twilight, though. Where's everypony else? Have they already split up so soon? I mean, it looks like they're still in the crater that was left behind when the maze was torn down, so this seems like it must be VERY early in episode 2.

We learned that was one of her faults in Feeling Pinkie Keen. She thinks logically and can usually only accept things that are literal. That's why it hit her so hard with Pinkie's apparent "powers" despite her not being a unicorn.

So it's not surprising that only took his riddle at face value and didn't think outside the box. :3

"Twists and turns are my master plan.
Then find the elements, back where you began."

Hmm..."twists and turns"...

Wait a sec...the labyrinth! The labyrinth was full of twists and turns.

And since he never said that the elements were in the labyrinth...that could mean that his "master plan" was to get them into the labyrinth in the first place, so he could corrupt them!

Oh, Discord, you magnificent bastard!

"Then find the elements, back where you began."

Hmm...this could mean that the elements are either:

A. Back in the Old Castle where they faced Nightmare Moon,
B. Back in Ponyville, or
C. Still in Canterlot

But here's my big question...why would Discord still be willing to give Twilight and the others a chance, and be so willing to admit his plans? I understand he's a trickster, but...

He's now starting to sound like the Riddler as well.

Hmm...this will be very interesting to watch...

Of course Discord wants them to be able to find the elements, what fun would it be for him be if there wasn't a danger of him losing the game? I think he's going to keep giving them chances like a hardcore gambler playing a high stakes game of Russian Roulette, each pull of the trigger giving him a thrill. Maybe part of him really wants to be brought to an end - what is chaos if not self destructive?

Am I the only one who wants to see the CMC use their skills (Design, singing, dancing) somehow? I think that would be a good idea, I figure that they released them in the first place, so they'd want to somehow fix the mess.
Theory two of mine, judging from the episode's description, Twilight discovers the real meaning behind the riddle and shows that they still have the EoH.
Theory three of mine is a combo of the above with some Luna. I want me so me Luna!

I wish everypony would stop giving the cutie mark crusaders a hard time for releasing discord. Celestia herself said that wasn't what happened. It was the Elements being used by new ponies, thus severing Celestia and Luna's connection to them, that broke the spell imprisoning Discord. It just took a little while for him to break out of the statue. It was probably Discord breaking free that made the CMC fight, not the other way around.

It strikes me that Discord still has a win condition in his game that is valid (Find the Elements), and he's taking on the role of a Dungeon Master rather than an straight up villain, so he's not planning to "win," because he really doesn't have a horse in this race.

He has rules in place for his chaos, and he's hesitant to break them, although he will if the ponies need railroading. Discord is also chaos incarnate, so I'd imagine he knows that perpetual chaos is unstable as a living condition, and if it became the norm, he loses his power. So I'm banking on the fact he's chaotic enough to throw his own game once he gets bored of it, and be willing to submit to the Elements, lowest moral denominator being he can just break out again, and chaos it up when no one expects it. But IMO, he seems to want more than wreaking havoc, and wants to teach somebody something before he goes back in the box.

If Discord teleports out of the crater, that means there isn't going to be a Celestia vs Discord fight. Bummer.

I KNEW IT!! I knew the Elements wern't in the Labyrinth! Now we just need to figure out where they actually are...

Also, it appears that Discord also has the ability of Christmas Ghost brand Time Travel.

@marioandsonic

Well, Discord IS a nearly all-powerful Chaos Spirit. His games wouldn't be any fun if he KNEW he was going to win. He needs to give his opponent at least some SMALL chance of figuring it all out. Victory is so much more satisfying when there's a degree of uncertainty about it. For reference, I give you a page from a webcomic with another all-powerful being expressing a similar mindset: [http://egscomics.com/?date=2007-01-10]

Hehe! Classic Q, it's all in the wording and fine print. He never said it was in the Labirynth, of course he didn't say it wasn't in it either.
Got to go over that riddle again Twilight.

"Back where you began"
0. Canterlot Library
1. Centre of Ponyville where we first met Pinkie Pie
2. Library where the element-bearers all first gathered
3. The abandoned castle in Everfree Forest
4. Celestia's throne room

Speculation time!

Judging from Discord's posture at the beginning of the clip, I want to say that he was watching something akin to a show, mayhaps the Mane 6 (sans Rainbow) fighting amongst themselves, then eventually splitting up (seeing as it looks like its just Twi and Discord in the crater).

Riddle time.

I'm beginning to think that the "twists and turns" were just a ploy to draw the Mane 6 into the labyrinth for easier separation and corruption.

"Finding them back where you began." I used to think this meant back in the castle of the Royal Sisters, but not anymore.

Consider the following:
-Season 1: Episode 2. The Elements needed a spark to activate them. To quote Twi, "The spark ignited inside me, when I realized that you all are my friends!" That's when the EoH activated (began), right after Twi acknowledged the others as her friends.

On that note, I think that Twi will have to befriend the others once again to get the Elements back.

...

Either that, or I could be completely wrong. Nevertheless, bring on Episode 2! My body is ready.

Ok, good point there, I sincerely apologize to the writers that I messed up at reading between the lines. I still want some Luna, though. It would be nice to see the CMC start at least acknowledge that maybe designing, singing, and dancing be their goal to get their Cutie Marks. I imagine it won't be in this episode, though. (Same for Luna.)

CROSSOVER/FANFIC IDEA!

Q was originally Discord until the Royal Sisters imprisioned/blocked him so he had to escape to the Star Trek Universe and all his exploits with Picard were really just his way of warming up for his return to Equestria!

/Probably could have written that better.

If you didn't want to hug Twilight at the end of last episode, you sure want to now. Having her friends turned into jerks and now told that what she's just been through was pointless. And the "maybe the magic of friendship can help you" line -- just rubbing salt into the wound...

I knew it wasn't the garden.

The question remains is: Is it that place in everfree?

Or would it be the places where they gained their cutie marks?

More families are supposedly going to show up this season, so I'm guessing the later.

HOWEVER! "Twists and turns" was part of the hint. In Second life a replica of Everfree was made. I seem to recall a rather labyrinthine design. I forget what exactly it was. I'll go check later.

Where they began?

He mislead them the first time, why start telling the truth now?
