I'm probably wrong (I usually am in these matters) but my gut feeling is that this episode will be a follow-up of sorts from Slice of Life. There is some kind of festival or fair at Ponyville and Twilight Sparkle takes the opportunity to expand her circle of close friends. Along the way, she has a chance to mend bridges with some of her former classmates.

Spike, being the loyal friend and loving little brother that he is, tries to keep petitioners away so that Twilight can have this day off. His attempts to satisfy these often-honest ponies who come for help just causes more problems.

Twilight seems to make the announcement about 'making new friends' in the Map Room of the castle. I'm wondering if, maybe, this is something they're doing with the map's advice.
