I really do believe this episode would be a good excuse to bring Gilda back to the show, for just another episode or to establish her as a permanent secondary character. The way I see it, it can work two different ways: 1) Gilda returns at the beginning of the episode, having to reside in Ponyville because of a series of events during the time she left Ponyville last time and when she returns here. She quickly becomes town bully and gives Fluttershy a hard time again, if not consistently. It is then because of her that Fluttershy goes to Iron Will in the first place. When she does become assertive, she goes back and stands up to Gilda, thus making Gilda technically the antagonist of the episode. 2) When Fluttershy goes to Iron Will for different reasons, the treatment works too well and Fluttershy moves from assertive to becoming almost like a bully. After several attempts to snap her make to normal, the rest of the Mane Six and Iron Will turn to Gilda as a last resort to stop the rampagin Fluttershy. I think both of these are feesible, though I prefer the first myself.
