Of course we might not know the clue since we lost a few pages but I wonder if it is the fact that since Luna lives with Celestia she'd have plenty of access to her

That, and the earrings. Nevermind that her parents' behaviour is actually kind of suspicious from a certain angle. They think Shining Armor is in town, even though he didn't contact them?

I considered Nightlight and Velvet acting funny but the more I thought about it it didn't seem that bad. Shining is a prince now and that means security and royal vessels and all that, and it also means he has important business so them knowing he's in town without seeing him is possible and believing he'd wait to stop by until after whatever he's doing is possible but strange and I thought Nightlight addressing her by her title was strange but then I remember it's a pretty common nickname father's give their daughters.
But another thing I thought of was the earrings. This is all happening pretty quickly and I'm not sure why it would deliver a pair of earrings that quickly. Rarity doesn't have her horn to teleport them even if she could and why send them when Shining is going to be there so soon and could deliver them? He could have visited them, warned them against Twilight. Who knows Velvet could be going to get her ears pierced right now believing that it will protect her from whatever has gotten her daughter.

Fortunately, the adorableness of your avatar will keep you safe!
(Seriously though that thing is uber-cute.)
Went back and did some looking around in older chapters. Found something that could be important. Luna said she was going to talk to Celestia the last time Twilight talked to her that she was normal. The next time Twilight saw her she was wearing a power suppressor and retracting her previous claims. Since then affected ponies have talked about Luna favorably, but have made no mention of Celestia. Celestia was also absent from Twilight's nightmare. At the current point the only pony who seems to even think about Celestia is Twilight. Maybe LUna hasn't corrupted Celestia, maybe Celestia corrupted Luna

Interesting point!

Yeah, like that. Or maybe not even to shield her against whatever Twilight Sparkle supposedly has, but just because Rarity asked. Twilight didn't tell her mother not to wear them, she didn't even think there could be anything wrong with them. Moreover, she's still wearing her own pair; why would Twilight Velvet come to the conclusion that they could be bad if her daughter still wears them? We know she'd like to take them off again, but she never told her parents. At best they're suspicious about a gift from Rarity now, but even so, if Twilight herself doesn't bother taking them off, there's probably nothing wrong with them at all.
Actually, that last point I made above reminded me of something that's been bugging my since last chapter. Twilight claims she hasn't been brainwashed or bitten, the latter of which is 100% wrong. Seeing as how she apparently doesn't even remember the bites, doesn't keep her mind on getting the earrings off, and is frighteningly close to giving in to the mare-cunt identity whenever she's faced with a sexual encounter, she's very likely undergoing the brainwashing at this very moment.

I'd forgotten she even had the earrings, though I don't know that just seeing Twilight wear them would be enough to get Velvet to wear them. It's not like she had reason to suspect them, it was just they took a large piercing. It'd be a nightmare for Twilight to see her mom with them on though and say something like "Well, I saw how nice they looked on you so I decided I just had to wear them"

I'm not denying or confirming anything, but I think it likely that Twilight wouldn't mention details about the bite to her parents simply to avoid making the story too complex, if you consider the other details she left out.
And of course, the real brainwashing victims here are -=YOU=-

Absolutely! "Well, they looked so nice on you! By the way, have you noticed how... hot your daddy is? Mmhmm, if I wasn't married to him already I'd let him drag me to the altar by my mane! Hay, maybe we can try that tonight anyway. We probably have some hoofcuffs from Shiny's time as a guard lying around here somewhere..."

Maybe. But she did write it out it in her journal. Which is the same place she claims not to have been bitten, meaning that either her entry in chapter 30 (it's even called "Bites?") was a lie or her claim in chapter 45 is, after she got away from Cheerilee:
"It's hard enough to avoid getting into that kind of diseased mindset in situations where it could prove disastrous, and I haven't even been brainwashed or bitten or anything! I won't be able to attempt fixing ponies until we've established some degree of control over the broader situation."
It's very much possible that whatever is affecting her is messing with her memory, and/or with her perception. Like I noted, one earlier chapter is entirely about how she found these strange bites.
Gasp! What a

Oh, I see what you mean. I thought about adding more detail there, but I can tell you that it's safe to assume: Twilight means she hasn't been bitten in a "non-cured" fashion, though it may be possible that her cure spell wasn't 100% effective. She does, in fact, remember having been bitten. But this will become clear soon enough anyway, so I don't think a correction is necessary.
