The day that Ponyville's chickens came home to roost. They'd destroyed Trixie's home and all of her belongings and then slandered her for somepony else's mistake (Snips and Snails, specifically). And where was Princess Celestia's Personal Student but passively conniving with this!

Can anypony really blame Trixie for developing a dark heart desiring revenge that the Alicorn Amulet was able to exploit?

That aside, I did like how Twilight learnt from Zecora the secrets of Trixie's own form of magic - that of illusion, slight-of-hoof and mentalist trickery. I'd like to see her use that at some future point in the show - completely wrong-footing an opponent by using illusions and trickery instead of directly fighting them.
