When you consider how much the comics have influenced the show thus far (which is almost not at all), I think it's pretty safe to assume that this is not that story's adaptation and they came up with something original.

It worked to some degree in 2014 (presumably taking place before Rainbow Rocks?) when Sunset still wasn't completely trusted and it would be somewhat reasonable to assume she was guilty after doing similar stuff not long before. But now, as the de facto EG finale special? It would be like a double slap to the face.
