Heck even going with the idea it hardly writes itself. Why is Trixie repentant, how do the Mane Six react, what does this actually entail for action? What is the actions taken that bring the drama to a head. Does the idea even support 22 minutes. Afterall its not like Trixie did anything but lie improve her show, its a really small offense that the Mane Six all but brushed off in the episode. What makes it that right mix of funny, light-hearted, and heart-felt. Just a "poor poor Trixie" episode is terribly terribly weak.
Similar things apply to the other minor antagonists. The cast knows them, we know them, and there really isn't that much to the antagonists. They had their trick and now everpony is wise to it, not really anywhere to go there.
