A note on the cabin's front door states that Goldie is away doing errands. With the raft destroyed, Pinkie Pie and the weary Apples trek the rest of the way to Goldie Delicious' cabin on hoof. As tensions rise among the Apples, Pinkie Pie remains blissfully upbeat and oblivious-just as the raft goes careening over a steep waterfall. Apple Bloom and Big Mac get dragged into it, and their bickering causes them to lose the raft's steering wheel. Applejack attempts to take over steering the raft, and she and Granny Smith get into a light argument. causing the Apple siblings to become annoyed with Granny's questionable directions.

The wise Granny Smith decides to take the reins, steering the raft down what she believes to be the correct path. Applejack and Big Mac become annoyed with Apple Bloom for losing the map, but they still force a smile for Pinkie Pie's sake. Apple Bloom fetches it, but quickly loses it when it falls overboard and a fish snatches and makes off with it (and an eagle swoops down to grab said fish). When Applejack sees the river splitting off in three different directions, she asks for the map. With that, the ponies set off down the river. Pinkie Pie also starts taking photographs for a scrapbook. Without a proper raft (which Applejack mentions is the only thing Big Mac didn't pack), the Apples construct one from the wagon's remains and tree sap.

Applejack nearly gets upset with Big Mac about the wagon, but restrains herself with Pinkie nearby.

As soon as the song ends, the wagon collapses. Upon setting out for the open road, Pinkie Pie and the Apples sing a light song about family. As Pinkie returns with a saddlebag, Applejack briefly pesters Big McIntosh when she asks if all the things he packed are necessary and whether the wagon's strong enough to hold it all.

However, when Applejack takes a closer look at the genealogy scroll, she notices a smudge where it says Auntie Applesauce of the Apple family is a fourth cousin twice removed of the Pie family whether Applejack and Pinkie Pie are related or not is still unclear. The two friends later bring this news to the attention of Apple Bloom, Big McIntosh, and Granny Smith, who are all equally as excited as Applejack about the development. Pinkie Pie knocks on Applejack's door, greeting her with 'Hey, cousin!' Interested, Pinkie picks up a scroll and looks through it, making a shocking discovery about who she's related to. Twilight explains she's doing some genealogical research, and Spike specifies to Pinkie that genealogy is the study of one's family history.
