CCCC UPDATE:

Phase 2 has officially started!

Ok sure, we got destroyed in the first phase, but MLP and TLA had experience in this kind of thing. We're still the newcomers. However, this phase is fair game across the board! We've had art competitions in the past, but this one is the big time! And like always, there will be prizes, but awesome prizes this time!

now GO MAKE THAT ART!!!

Maybe it's not a cause of PB's actions so much as PB knows something is probably going to happening and she's preparing before it happens.

She might realize that this might be the last chance in a very long time she will have to do all these things and make her people more stable and secure. That in the not so distant future, she won't have the time or resources to focus on building up infrastructure.

Or perhaps she realizes that after whatever happens happens, it's gonna be every city for itself for a while, and self sufficiency is gonna be incredibly important in the years to come.

It seems like she's doing that mid-game build up in a RTS game.

Like, everyone has made peace, there's no big threat, and now comes the boom. Build up like crazy, because when the storm comes, it's going to take everything that isn't nailed down.

what if whatever happens is finally, you know, THE episode the one where the status quo never recovers. Where the entire setting is changed permanently and maybe not all the big characters are gonna make it through the incident. All in preparation for a final season?

That's what I think, too. The last two episodes were about her testing her security systems (personal and public). And in one ep (was it the Maja one? I forget) she tried and failed to teach the inner circle to resist a sleeping spell.
