@Rallinale Something changed in the latter half of Season 2. Episode 35, Sweet and Elite, was her last episode, and the following episode, Secret of My Excess, was her last shining moment, aside from those shared with the rest of the Mane 6. Thing is, while she's essentially a background pony now she's still a main character, so they can't have her disappear for no reason, and killing her off is out of the question. So they need her to get into a fight with the others through her anger and ambition, and leave.

Granted you're all probably right, I just keep getting bad premonitions, like there's always a catch. I'm especially sensitive about Rarity, after the whole comic thing. If Rarity's friendship with the other Mane 5 remains as strong as ever by the end of the episode, then this episode will be the end of all my negative premonitions about Rarity.
