This episode confirmed a rumor that Starlight Glimmer would be joining the "Mane 6" making it officially the "Mane 7"
Season 6 is the first season of the show without Jayson Thiessen, the supervising director who stepped down after the show's first half of its fifth season to focus on the upcoming 2017 theatrical film adaptation.
This is the first time in any part of a two-part episode that Twilight does not fly once.
