And again, that's not the writers' responsibility. If they happen to write an episode around a side character that appeared before, they can't be expected to spend a sizable portion of the runtime recapping that character's entire first appearance(s).

If the fact that you never saw Lightning Dust before affects how much you enjoy this episode, that's YOUR problem, not the writers'. Because you can't expect them to cater to the people who have seen Wonderbolts Academy and cater to the people who haven't at the same time.
