All That Glitters is the chapter of Muffins where Blinkie Pie earns her cutie mark. Her grandmother Rosie Quartz, who is currently visiting, tells her and Inkie Pie the story of a miser's treasure: gold. After making crazy purchases, the church questioned the miser, who admitted to being wealthy, and the church demanded he give up his wealth, for greed was a sin. When he refused, the town became angry and formed a mob, burning down his house. He escaped, however, and told them he buried his treasure where nopony would find it unless they were worthy. After hearing the story, Cloudy Quartz stomps over to her mother and children and proceeds to complain, but Rosie Quartz assures her it was just "the nonsensical ramblings of an old pony", disappointing the children.

Later that night, Rosie Quartz enters Inkie and Blinkie's bedroom and tells them that the story of the miser's treasure was true and that she was just trying to get Cloudy off her back before handing them a map of the cliffs. The next morning, the two fillies follow the map and attempt to climb down the cliffs with a rope. However, the rope breaks and Blinkie Pie falls into the cave. Fortunately, she soon finds the miser's treasure and earns her cutie mark. Meanwhile, Inkie Pie had gone back to the house for help and comes back with her parents and grandmother, who manage to rescue Blinkie Pie, Igneous Rock having picked her up. After being shown the treasure, Cloudy Quartz chucks it back off the cliff, only for Rosie Quartz to retrieve it once everypony leaves. Unfortunately, the trip down the cliffs took quite a bit of effort, and Rosie Quartz dies in her sleep from the strain, only for Cloudy Quartz to cry over her death the next morning when nopony is looking.
