After the events of A Canterlot Wedding, Shining Armor learns that the pony he's come to truly love – and whom he asked to marry him – was not the real Cadence at all, but instead the Queen of the Changelings. The real Cadence indeed still views him as only a friend.

Shining then heads to the Badlands to find the Queen and set some things straight...as well as to tie up some loose ends. Upon finding her, however, things do not go according to the Queen's expectations...
