Adagio Dazzle, Aria Blaze and Sonata Dusk are at the top of their game after having regained their singing voices. With high-charting albums, a growing fanbase, and minutes away from playing their first headlining show, they have nearly forgotten about the incident at Canterlot High.

But when Rainbow Dash and Sunset Shimmer confront them backstage, the incident is brought back for them, along with the pain and hardships they had to go through in the months afterwards before getting to where they are now.

As Dash asks the Dazzlings questions and Adagio tells their story, Dash ponders in her mind whether the once-villains truly deserve forgiveness.
