Ultimately the Mean Six regroup under Chrysalis's watch and Mean Twilight directs her to the Tree, stopping only to ravage the campsite that Mane Twilight had already set up. Importantly, Mane Pinkie tells Mean Twilight the history of their friendship and reveals the location of the Tree of Harmony to her. At that moment, the various Mane Six and Mean Six ponies find each other in various incidents, but neither recognize the differences from their counterparts, instead thinking their friends are somehow acting like mean jerks out of nowhere, leading to several conflicts: Mean Rarity has horded all the supplies being carried by Mane Applejack and Mane Rainbow Dash Mean Applejack criticizes Starlight's appearance, making her think she gave her the camping equipment for the sake of making fun of her Mean Twilight causes Mane Fluttershy to break down in tears after she faces the wrath of the forest creatures terrorized by Mean Fluttershy, Mane Twilight starts thinking her friends don't like the trip when Mean Pinkie claims it to be a "boring, lame, no-fun retreat", and so forth. Pinkie runs off ahead while Fluttershy falls back to help a chick fallen from its nest, resulting in the group getting separated from each other.

Meanwhile, the Mane Six and Starlight are working towards where Twilight has planned their camping experience, near the Tree of Harmony. Mean Twilight realizes that Chrysalis could have attacked the Mane Six while she was in their midst, and considers her weak as Chrysalis leads them on the search, Mean Twilight tells the others they should split up to find it faster, and leave Chrysalis alone, and starts secretly planning with the other Mean Six to overpower Chrysalis when they find the article and keep the Elements' power all to themselves.

She tells the Mean Six that she has heard about an artifact of great power related to the Elements of Harmony somewhere in the forest that, as part of her revenge on Starlight for taking her hive away, she wants to use to create a new army of changelings and destroy the Mane Six and Starlight, but that they need to find it.
