You know it's a messed up story arc when it sparks these kinds of conversations...

In any event, from my reading of the synopsis it doesn't sound like Discord and Cadance even interact. By the time he shows up at the Crystal Empire she's already been absorbed into the freaky Cosmos-princesses-Zecora-Big Mac gestalt, so it seems a bit of a stretch to say they've had interaction together. And for all we know Shining Armor could still show up in the final issue, perhaps as part of a group of loved ones brought together to try and help the absorbed ponies fight back against Cosmos.
