The seventh season of the animated television series My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, developed by Lauren Faust, originally aired on the Discovery Family channel in the United States. The series is based on Hasbro's My Little Pony line of toys and animated works and is often referred by collectors to be the fourth generation, or "G4", of the My Little Pony franchise.

The Cutie Map directs the ponies to the monster's location; Starlight, noting that the map only summons them for friendship missions, learns from the Pillars that the Pony of Shadows was once their friend named Stygian, whom they cast out for attempting to steal their artifacts. When the ponies use the Elements on the Pony of Shadows, Twilight and Starlight see Stygian in the monster's body and reach out to him, learning that his supposed betrayal was actually an attempt to help the Pillars protect Equestria as their equal. The Pillars realize their error and help the six friends use the Elements to separate Stygian from the shadow creature, which is re-imprisoned. Star Swirl apologizes for the all trouble he caused with his pride. With their friendship restored, Stygian and the Pillars remain in the present era to explore Equestria.
