This episode introduced us to two new writers, Mike P. Fox and his brother Will Fox. Both of whom make a very impressive debut at writer for this show. I am quite excited to see what they write in the future. The co-wrote this episode with Josh Harber, who has been a writer for the show since the 4th season, and is now also the shows story editor. This episode is still directed by Jim Miller, Denny Lu, and Tim Stuby, who do just as fine of a job here. This episode was storyboarded by Cory Toomley (who has been one of the shows storyboard artists since season 2) and Elie Kilmos.
What really make this episode is Maud. I just love this character so much, and Ingrid Nilson's vocal delivery just enhances every joke that comes out of her mouth. Of course the other Pinkie Pie and Rarity are just as great as ever as well. Pinkie's overreactions and Rarity's imitations of Pinkie are just perfect.
This episode is also a very clever take on the O. Henry story that inspired the title. Speaking of that the title alone is very clever and one of my favorite episode titles.
