With equal respect, one has nothing to do with the other. Celestia’s plan was to make sure Tirek didn’t go after Twilight’s friends in order to learn that she had all the Alicorn magic. He didn’t; he went after them because Discord sensed the magic being transferred to Twilight, which Celestia didn’t account for. As for being mad at Twilight for lying, I think the reason Twilight lied in this episode is why Celestia got particularly upset. Her prized pupil thought she couldn’t handle being told that she was a lousy actress; kind of undermines the respect Twilight supposedly has for her mentor.
