Here are my thoughts about "For Whom the Sweetie Belle Tolls"
Here's my theory about next Saturday's episode of the MLP show. Technically, "For Whom the Sweetie Belle Toils" will focus on dealing with difficult people. Sweetie Belle will eventually learn from Luna, in her dreams, about dealing with difficult ponies, especially her sister Rarity, but in the right way. At the end, Sweetie would have to confess her feelings to Rarity about the latter being somewhat of a jerk to the former, so that Rarity herself could learn a valuable lesson as well.
But, because it will be written by Dave Polsky, who's better with sight-gags than story and character-development, there are a million ways that episode could go wrong. One of those ways is that Sweetie Belle learns about apologizing to Rarity, instead of dealing with difficult ponies the right way. As a result, Rarity won't learn a valuable lesson about respecting her sister, because only Sweetie Belle learned a lesson but doesn't teach her older sister anything about respecting loved ones.
But I hope "For Whom the Sweetie Belle Toils" is less about apologizing, and more about teaching others valuable lessons without stooping to their levels. When you apologize for getting back at somepony for being a jerk to you, you're the one learning a lesson, but not the jerk him/herself. However, when you confess your feelings about why that person/pony/whatever was a jerk to you and why you became a jerk back, eventually that other person/pony/etc., will also learn the errors of their ways, and work to improve themselves.
After all, if Sweetie Belle is going to learn a lesson, Rarity might as well learn a lesson as well.
