Episode Title:
Going to Seed.
Episode Description:
The Apple family mobilize to bring in an enormous apple harvest, and Granny Smith calls in Cousin Goldie Delicious for additional help. Goldie tells Apple Bloom the story of the Great Seedling, a spirit that bestows bountiful crops on those who can catch it. Apple Bloom becomes determined to catch the Seedling to Applejack's dismay and annoyance; she had tried to catch it when she was young, but got caught in one of her own traps and felt guilty for being unable to help with the harvest. Apple Bloom persuades Applejack to rekindle her old determination and help set up traps, leaving an extremely tired Big Macintosh to do more and more of the harvesting on his own. An apparition begins to chase the sisters through the orchards one night; it is revealed to be Big Mac, who has been harvesting in his sleep in order to keep up with the workload. The harvest is finished ahead of schedule thanks to his night work, and Applejack comes to appreciate the importance of taking time off to have fun occasionally.
