Celestia tells Luna that she should not go to the Crystal Empire because Twilight and her friends will join Princess Cadance and Shining Armor there. Meanwhile, in Canterlot Castle, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna look at a new stained glass window depicting Princess Cadance and Shining Armor saving Equestria with the power of love. Applejack says, 'I think she handled that pretty well, considering-' but Twilight screams and launches the entire library into the air to vent her frustration. Spike tries to calm her down and says that it's just a test, but Twilight indignantly asks, 'Just a test?' Spike puts on a helmet and shields himself with pillows before reluctantly answering 'Yes'. In Golden Oak Library, Twilight Sparkle rushes to pack quills, flashcards, and reference books. Celestia, now deeply worried, orders the guards to find Princess Cadance and Shining Armor and writes a letter to Twilight Sparkle telling her to come to Canterlot at once. In the royal Canterlot castle, an Earth pony royal guard dashes into the throne room to inform Princess Celestia that ' it has returned'. Princess Celestia orders Twilight Sparkle and her friends to help defend the newly awakened Empire against King Sombra, the evil unicorn who had cursed the empire. In this episode, a curse that caused an empire to vanish for a thousand years has finally ended. It is the first half of a two-part episode.

The Crystal Empire - Part 1 is the first episode of the third season of My Little Pony Friendship is Magic and the fifty-third episode overall. For the similarly named high school in Equestria Girls: Friendship Games, see Crystal Prep Academy.
