With the Bearers of Harmony sent on a friendship mission by the map, Applejack asked Tempest Shadow to help Granny Smith who’s alone at the farm. Of course, as soon as she gets there, Granny tells Tempest that something important to the Apple family has been stolen, and she needs Tempest’s help to get it back, sending them both to a den of scum and villainy to do so.

Tempest was hoping for a simple day of bucking apples, but it seems Granny is the boss, and she has other plans.
