The way I see it, this episode can go one of three ways:

1) Trenderhoof turns out to be an ass (no offence intended) and is just using AJ as leverage to get a better 'inside story' on the Ponyville Days Festival (he thus is exposed as AJ's anti-element, the Element of Deception);

2) The whole thing turns into an extended aesop about being true to yourself and that you can't be happy living a lie; - MOST LIKELY

3) Trenderhoof really does like AJ because she doesn't know him and thus is not one of his fan-fillies. Rarity manages to ruin everything and he leaves Ponyville, leaving AJ with a sense of "what could have been" and Rarity with an enormous guilt trip.
