I would say this is one of my top ten favorite episodes of the year. It's rather absurdist but at the same time, completely believable. I never want to "Homer Simpson" or "Flanderize" our characters, and this one had me worry that we were pushing Rainbow Dash too far into the 'stupid' category. After some tweaking of the text and reviewing Dash's character, this isn't too far fetched. I could totally see this happening. We'll reel Dash in a bit in upcoming episodes.
In a different version someone wrote out, someone made Cheerilee's fourth panel line say, "b*tch, are you for real?" Obviously we wouldn't allow that, but even I must admit, that would be hilarious coming from her lips.
Some minor references and world building. We have Cheerilee's degree behind her in panel two as well as a reference to a poster in Mr. Frond's office from the tv show, "Bob's Burgers." Apparently Cheerilee also wears glasses now for reading? I guess it's canon now.
