the CMC tried to get their cutie marks in minor evil?

The Spy of the Tiger spies... Tony the Tiger?

Scootaloo smacked her lips. "So. Minor evil, huh? I can get behind that."

Sweetie Belle turned just in time to see Scoots smash her bottle of Copyright-Free-Cola on the table. "No, Scootaloo. Murder is not a minor evil."

Scootaloo gave her new weapon a few experimental swings. "Who said I was gonna commit murder? Do you know how easily things get scratched up by broken glass? I'm gonna deface SO many bathroom mirrors."

"Oh. Okay, carry on."

Apple Bloom peered over Sweetie Belle's shoulder. "Whatcha plannin', Sweetie? Ah'm gonna implement a system of progressively lessenin' tax cuts that drop th' wealthier you are! Ponyville ain't got enough billionaires, and this here's gonna be the perfect way to make us the economic capital of Equestria! I call it 'trickle-down economi--'"

Sweetie Belle put a hoof over her friend's muzzle. "Apple Bloom."

"Yeag?"

"That's the evilest thing I've ever heard. Take a spray paint can and go lower property values instead."

"If that's so evil, then what're you plannin' then?"

A glint of light reflected off Sweetie's eyes as she turned, a sneer spreading across her face. "We're gonna become tall."

Sweetie made the other CMC settle for less for their minor evil schemes simply because she didn't want to get upstaged by them.

What if the CMCs attempts at minor evil blew up into the establishment of an Equestrian Temple of Elemental Evil ?

What if...™ Butter Knife decided to make a return appearance in order to spite the lack of popular request?

Whilst ingesting fluids earlier today, I formulated a theory about this chapter and its continuity.

In this chapter, Pinkie Pie is introduced to the concept of trickle-down economics. In this newest chapter, Applebloom demonstrates knowledge of the same concept. It can therefore be concluded that Applebloom has kept in contact with Pinkie since that time they baked cupcakes.

Or literally any other explanation. This is What If...™ after all.
