If it really was a parallel story with Twilight or the others out of town, Look at parallel stories from other seasons "Made in Manehattan"/"Brotherhooves Social" for example: Each gave exactly the scenes that you needed to create context.

They still could have hand-waved it - even "Applejack's Day Off" gave a reason for her family being absent from the plot.
