2. Mane Six Past and Future*
3. Princess Celestia and Luna*
4. Equestrian History and Other Info*
5. Villains*
6. Music*
7. Shining Armor and Cadance*
8. Scootaloo Episode*
9. CMC Get their Cutiemarks
This did not happen, but the CMC did get about 3 episodes in this season where they played key roles: One Bad Apple, Sleepless in Ponyville, and Just for Sidekicks
10. Relationships*
11. Movie
No movie in season 3, but The Hub is making a spin off series called Equestria Girls.
