I love the 'oh crap' faces Cadance makes during the early parts of this scene. Maybe I just have a great love of watching a character's thought process through facial expressions, which this show does pretty well a lot of times.

Twilight Sparkle: Shining, Celestia, I know this is hard to hear, but you've got to listen to me! The whole day yesterday, Cadance was acting really guarded and dishonest about her intentions… She had a habit of sneaking up on ponies and doing things behind their back… The old bridesmaids are nowhere to be found after she replaced them…
DM: That wasn't *explicitly* stated, but you're not wrong.
Twilight Sparkle: And last night, when she was having an argument with Shining, she used a spell to subdue his mind and stop the argument! I saw it! With my own eyes!
DM: And how does Cadenza react to these accusations?
Princess Cadance: For a split second, Cadance looks *very* worried and more than a little awkward!
Twilight Sparkle: Aha!
