I don't think that this is the Key of Magic episode but it may be the beginning of the process that leads to her acquiring it.

As for who will the main villain be? Well, it would be unprecendented in the show but why can't the villain have several episodes where his/her threat is slowly established. For example, Twilight could find in her time-travel jaunt that Starswirl was perhaps not the nicest of ponies and certainly not the paragon of a unicorn that she thought.

Then, in future episodes, it only gets worse.

Finally, in the climactic two-parter, she and her long-term idol must confront each other with the future of Equestria in the balance.
