Actually, "Sisterhooves Social" did have Spike appear at the last scene, and Twilight was completely absent in the episode. So, technically, it's already happened.

After "Lesson Zero", Twilight doesn't necessarily have to appear in every episode now, as we've seen last season (missing two episodes entirely).
