The option of the finale involving "Sun Flare/Nightmare Celestia" (something that would finally give a meaning to the still-unexplained card from about a year ago...) crossed my mind, but I wouldn't hold my hope.
It could work, and even give an explanation for the "Starlight only" thing - all the "issue" could end up to be just a test (Yep, causing a national alarm to test a single pony. Celestia would do that :P. Even better if it end up with Starlight discovering that every-single-other-pony knew.)
@b_jonas if you notice, lately each season has three map episodes (excluding finale/premiere ones), each one involving 2 of the mane six. They do that so that each character has an episode.
Actually this one got me wondering too. If they want to have Star getting a throne too, it leaves a spot open.
Unless my wishes have been granted and they will do 2+2+2+(1+Sunset), which so far seems even more unlikely.

@b_jonas I know, that was my point. I meant that I was already expecting the third map episode, so the spoiler wasn't a surprise and so weren't the characters involved
@b_jonas ..... -_- do we really need to add some more "essence of the Mary Sue" to the already unstable bubbling cauldron that Starlight has been up to now?
I am already fine with all the arguments "oh, look! The new one is better than Twily at magic!" they managed to start so far.
And remember: we are already talking of the character that turned bad because her friend discovered his talent in magic and went away (which is basically a retelling of Sombra story, only difference begin that Sombra had also more "free pain" thanks to the Heart), yet managed to outshine that character in every single scene they were in....

So I was watching Phineas and Ferb S3, and I had a crazy thought. Apparently when a cartoon TV series is in a mid-life crisis and can't produce good episodes, they try the gimmick of making episodes that are dressed up as alternate universe ones.
Such an episode features the main cast and an ordinary story unchanged, but is shown in the past or future. Possibilities are the characters shown as teenagers, children, hundreds of years ago in the wild west, thousands of years ago in ancient egypt, in the Holywood version of prehistoric past with caveponies and dinosaurs, or in the future with robots and flying cars.
But despite the background and the appearance of characters showing such an alternate universe, the main cast just behaves as in the normal episodes, with no explanation for how that's possible.
So I wonder if Equestria Girls was born as a pre-emptive strike. The MLP people were worried that the marketing department would try to force them to make such stupid alternate universe episodes in the main show continuity, so that they can sell stone age fluttershy with a pet dinosaur and newborn cutie Mane Six with cutie marks and pacifiers.
