Newbiespud’s Note: The next update is a Night Phase. Skip it for now and wait for the page after it if you want to “play along.” It’s also going to be the last Night Phase page. We’re almost at the city limits of spoilertown!

Rainbow Dash: Huh… so who did you two check last night?
Pinkie Pie: We checked Luke. He’s clear!
Trixie (Nat): Oh, c’mon! We don’t know for sure that Pinkie Pie’s telling the truth. If she were Mafia, she’d already know who’s not Mafia.
Rainbow Dash: Interesting theory you came up with there. Explain.
Trixie (Nat): I mean, think about it. Soarin was one of the cops, but he never actually confirmed that Pinkie Pie was his partner. Maybe the real cop’s still in hiding. You said so yourself you thought Pinkie’d be the next target.
Doctor Whooves (Luke): That’s a good point, except that would mean Pinkie Pie betrayed Rarity when she didn’t have to. If she were pretending to be cop, the smart thing to do would’ve been to frame somepony else.
Trixie (Nat): I agree, that would be the smart thing to do… if Rarity wasn’t already under suspicion. Pinkie betrayed Rarity because she already knew she’d be voted out.
Rainbow Dash: I dunno… sounds to me like you’re just trying to shift attention away from yourself, Nat.
Pinkie Pie: Ooh! That makes sense. So that means Nat’s one of the Mafia left. That would leave… uh…
Rainbow Dash: I… uh… who’s still in the game again?
Pinkie Pie: Well… uh… let’s see, ther’es you… me… Luke… Nat… and… um… Phil’s out, right? Kinda weird he got taken out even though I came out as a cop first.
Trixie (Nat): Oh please, like we’d be stupid enough to target somepony guaranteed to get the Nurse’s protection.
