Given the setup in the preview clip ... my guess is that an accident befalls one of the Wonderbolts, allowing Rainbow Dash to perform with them, and Dash is accused of causing the accident on purpose.

And if the setting is a dinner, then maybe :gotcha: declares "Nopony leaves the banquet hall until we get things sorted out!"

My theories for the TRUE culprit:

1. It was an accident after all, and there's no bad guy. ~frieeeeends~
2. It's a murder mystery dinner and no one remembered to inform Rarity and Dash.
3. Lightning Dust, for REVENGE
4. Starlight Glimmer, because she's a jerk
5. Discord, because duh

:excellent:
You thought Mr. Chaos was dead.
But why? None of you even met him until tonight.

:starity:
You're Mr. Chaos!


:offendash:
Wait a minute! So who did I kill?

:excellent:
My butler.

:grumpydash:
Shucks.


:excellent:
He was expendable, like all of you.
I'm grateful to you all for disposing of my network of spies and informers.
Saved me a lot of trouble.
Now there's no evidence against me.

:flutterdear:
This all has nothing to do with my disappearing nuclear physicist husband
or Colonel Sparkles' work with the new top-secret fusion bomb.

:excellent:
No. Communism was just a red . . . herring.

:ohrarity:
But, the police will be here any minute!
You'll never get away with this, any of you!

:excellent:
Why should the police come?
Nobody's called them.
So why shouldn't we get away with it?
We'll stack the bodies in the cellar, lock it, leave quietly
one at a time, and forget that any of this ever happened.

:cry:
And you'll just go on blackmailing us all.

:excellent:
Of course.
Why not?

:wink:
Well, I'll tell you why not.


BANG!

:excellent:
Good shot, Rarity. Very good . . .

:iiaia:
F.B.I. That phone call from J. Edgar Hoofer was for me.



:speakest:
All right. Whodunit?


:vogue:
They all did it!
But if you want to know who killed Mr. Chaos,
I did. In the Hall, with the revolver.
Take 'em away, chief.

:wink:
I'm going to go home and sleep with my wife.

Image 8:27 pm. Night fell over the city like a velvet welcome mat. My client was still in the pony-pokey, and my leads were drying up faster than Berry Punch in detox. But a good detective thinks on her feet, and I still had all four.

I knew an old friend on the force who might help. Stopping at a pay phone, I paid my last bit and gave her a ring-a-ding.




Image Forensics department, Moondancer speakin'.
Image Hey there, doll-face. I knew you'd be workin' late, as usual.
Image And I knew you'd be callin' for a favor, as usual. What's the sob story this time?



That was Moondancer all over. Always too smart for my own good.



Image Strand of hair, blue. Probably from the culprit. Need you to run it through the lab and make it squeal.
Image No can do, shamus. Captain's got half the department working the Dash case already. He finds me helpin' you, I'm out on the street like yesterday's muffins. And you're fresh out of favors.
Image Well then, maybe I make it worth your while. When's the last time you had a date?
Image No offense, Rarity -- you got a washed-out charm to you, but you ain't exactly my type.
Image Funny. What, there's no handsome stallion at the precinct you got your eye on? How about that new recruit I've seen walkin' the beat?
Image What, Officer Flash? Now you're really barkin' up the wrong tree. Everypony at the station knows he's got eyes for the Chief's sister.
Image You have my word, kiddo: an hour's makeover from me, and Officer Flash will be all over you like cilantro on cupcakes. Now, have we got a deal?
Image Well, I ain't hangin' up.

Uh...

Slavery

Terrorism

Kidnapping (she totally stole Scoots to take her camping)

Guys maybe Rarity shouldn't be defending her.

I wonder how simular this will be to that one episode, can't remember it's name, the one where Twilight had to figure out who ate the cake? Geez, I use to be so good at pony trivia stuff now it is all fuzzy.

Sounds like "MMMystery On The Friendship Express", where Pinkie played detective to solve the cake eating mystery. Twilight was her Dr. Watson-type sidekick. :-)

That was really good. I loved how Rarity used her knowledge of fashion to help solve the crime, and the whole detective movie atmosphere was well done. It was nice to see another family member in Spitfire's mom, too.

But wow, did the Bolts turn on RD fast. :rainbert:

That was a fun episode :awesomedash:

I think everyone knew that the new character was the culprit, although how Rarity figured it out made it worth it.

Also the film noir rendition of the MLP theme song in the credits was a great touch :awesomedash:

(interestingly, I noticed that FOUR writers were credited, even if Joanna Lewis and Kristine Songco did the final script)
