    • It's means it's a combonation between non-speaking roles and absences Jamster93 (talk) 20:17, May 29, 2018 (UTC)

• First non-two part episode to feature Chrysalis in a major role.--Kilmarnock228 (talk) 21:49, April 4, 2018 (UTC)
  • That's basically the same as what I just said! :P --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 22:01, April 4, 2018 (UTC)
    • You said finale; two-part part episodes have also served as premiers for seven out of the eight seasons. Admittedly Chrysalis has yet to appear in a premier (unless she's been in disguise and we haven't been told) but I think it's a noteworthy distinction.--Kilmarnock228 (talk) 20:45, April 5, 2018 (UTC)

    • I said "numeral" and therefore meant "numeral". If I meant "number", that's what I would've said.   01:13, April 26, 2018 (UTC)
• First episode featuring an antagonist in which the main characters have been unaware of the antagonist's activities for the entirety of the episode.Kilmarnock228 (talk) 07:43, June 7, 2018 (UTC)

    • Do any of you realize that this isn't related to what I first said? FirePup shoulda made his own post talking about Rarity's vocalness in a Discord episode. --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 22:10, July 29, 2018 (UTC)
• Second appearance of Cozy Glow after Marks for Effort! --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 23:47, July 28, 2018 (UTC)

  • Wrong, Queen Novo had already appeared in the Convocation of the Creatures comic story arc. --Relativus (talk) 03:49, August 5, 2018 (UTC)
    • What did I say? Brah, what did I say? Read it again! :P I said "in-show appearance"! --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 03:52, August 5, 2018 (UTC)
      • Yeah, but then you said "Second overall appearance of the 2 after the Movie". You must have known that statement would've included the comics too, brosef. --Relativus (talk) 04:01, August 5, 2018 (UTC)
• Second 16th episode to have a group each tell stories in a flashback format after Campfire Tales! Hey aren't I dominating the stats on this episode, or what? :P --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 23:44, August 3, 2018 (UTC)
• UGH!!! First time Pinkie Pie is the only Mane Six pony that wasn't in this episode. FirePuppy (talk) 07:47, August 4, 2018 (UTC)

    • Tenth if you count My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Friendship Games. --IsmaelandLuigi21 (talk) 20:16, July 28, 2018 (UTC)
      • "FiM episode". So no.   20:20, July 28, 2018 (UTC)

• Second appearance of the foreign artifacts after A Matter of Principals! --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 23:37, August 10, 2018 (UTC)
• First 18th episode of a season to not star either Pinkie Pie or the Cutie Mark Crusaders! But if you still consider Yakity-Sax an 18th episode because of production order, then it's still going on! Just depends on the point of view! ;) --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 23:55, August 10, 2018 (UTC)
• Third 18th episode to feature Rainbow Dash after Daring Done? and Buckball Season, which the latter was the debut of the sport that was featured in here! Also third appearance of buckball after that episode and Marks for Effort! --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 23:55, August 10, 2018 (UTC)

• Fifth 18th episode with Pinkie Pie as a featured role after A Friend in Deed, Maud Pie, Buckball Season, and Daring Done. Continuing the streak with every 18th episode in the season being either a Pinkie episode or a CMC episode. (Subject to change) --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 22:30, June 11, 2018 (UTC)
  • And hopefully, it'll be the last time this ever happens -- unless they change the episodes in airing order. FirePuppy (talk) 09:42, June 13, 2018 (UTC)
    • Lucky for you, FirePup! They just changed the order! ;) --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 19:50, July 13, 2018 (UTC)
    • Jim Miller confirmed on Twitter that this is the 18th episode though. -DJ Lucifera (talk) 23:11, July 20, 2018 (UTC)

• First episode to premiere on a Friday since the season one finale.   20:08, July 13, 2018 (UTC)
• Because this episode will air early, I guess this means the streak of every 18th episode in each season being either a Pinkie or CMC episode is now broken. FirePuppy (talk) 09:40, July 14, 2018 (UTC)
• Third appearance of "Pinkamena" after Party of One and Magical Mystery Cure. But I feel like I'm missing an episode. - Jasonbres (talk) 18:18, July 20, 2018 (UTC)
  • Ya did! The Cutie Mark Chronicles! ;) --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 18:49, July 28, 2018 (UTC)
• Second episode this season where Starlight doesn't appear with the other main characters. At least I like that. But what I hate about it is that it's another useless solo Pinkie Pie episode, and it also has ALL the other main characters, again! >:( FirePuppy (talk) 18:42, July 20, 2018 (UTC)
  • This page can do without your opinionated commentary, FirePuppy. Stick to the statistics.   18:45, July 20, 2018 (UTC)
  • At least Starlight has grace to make shrine some episodes, FirePuppy. Hakirayleigh (talk) 00:33, July 23, 2018 (UTC)

• This episode marks the longest amount of appearances Maud Pie spoke in one season after speaking The Maud Couple and Fake It 'Til You Make It! --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 18:19, July 21, 2018 (UTC)
• First time Yakyakistan is shown but without Rutherford appearing. (Correct me if I'm wrong and he makes a background appearance, though.) --Lightening McQueen (talk) 23:48, July 22, 2018 (UTC)
• Second episode that showed Pinkie playing an instrument poorly after The Crystal Empire - Part 1! --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 18:48, July 28, 2018 (UTC)
• Since Imperfect 13 moved Yakity-Sax back to episode 18, this pretty much saves Pinkie Pie from risking four or more straight absences for the first time within one season. FirePuppy (talk) 21:18, August 11, 2018 (UTC)
  • Also, this is the first time in three seasons where Twilight has any role in an 18th episode. FirePuppy (talk) 09:27, August 12, 2018 (UTC)
• Another nasty thing to know here: this marks the first time a character within the Mane Six that the episode mainly focuses on actually appeared the least in it. FirePuppy (talk) 08:08, August 27, 2018 (UTC)

    • I was under the impression that the artifacts didn't actually show up in School Raze - Part 1, since it's not explained until Part 2 that Cozy Glow is using them to drain Equestria's magic. Of course, that is based on the synopses and transcripts and not actually watching the episodes.--Kilmarnock228 (talk) 04:32, September 20, 2018 (UTC)
