If they are going to give Lightning Dust a redemption episode, make her coach to the junior speedsters. Scootaloo and Dash would both naturally be in this episode.

In the end Scootaloo learns a few important lessons, and Lightning learns about responsibility.

I mean with both Trixie and Gilda, the sighs of redemption possibility are there, and it's very clear where it is.

Trixie's absolutely nothing like her onstage persona and if ponies are in danger, she'll put her life on the line and expose her true self to protect them. This is exactly the same Trixie we saw at the end of Magic Duel after she was rid of the amulet's power and was horrified of what it made her do.

Gilda, it was very obvious, really cared about Dash. This becomes the thing that redeems her in her reforming story.

Lightning? She has nothing like that. There aren't really any threads of remorse or compassion visible. After almost killing people trying to do an exercise, she's actually cheerful she got the exercise done, because 'hey, the people didn't actually die, right?' My actions put them in mortal danger, but they're fine, so stop making such a big fuss.

The only reason she even had a remorseful face at any point in the episode was when she was getting stripped of her rank. That's all she cares about.
