History
The episode didn't further much in the way of Equestria or World history, but developed lots of personal histories, especially with Twilight Sparkle, Trixie Lulamoon and to a lesser extent, Snips and Snails. This adventure taught Twilight that she could use her magic and show her loved ones just how powerful and skilled she really was without being seen as a jerk, something that would help her in future endeavors. Likewise, this misadventure caused Trixie to grow jealous and bitter over Twilight's power, forcing her to use ancient artifacts such as the Alicorn Amulet to become ever more powerful. In terms of Snips and Snails histories, this would be the starting point of their reputation as dunces and clowns.

World building

 * Trixie Lulamoon would become a recurring character starting in Magic Duel and would later appear in numerous comic stories and future episodes.
 * Snips and Snails would also become recurring characters, becoming supporting characters in Cutie Mark Crusaders-themed stories, though also appear in more "general" stories.
 * Interestingly, in this appearance, they had no interactions with the Cutie Mark Crusaders and instead were portrayed as good friends with Spike.
 * This episode would further develop Spike's coming of age arc, with his desire for masculinity. Notably, the last episode in this pseudo-arc and one that began it had Spike reject his femininity rather seek masculinity.
 * The events of this episode were mentioned in Zen and the art of Gazebo Repair. During the Summer Wrap Up festival, Trixie performed a puppet show portraying the events of her stay in Ponyville, only where she defeated the Ursa Minor instead.
 * The Ursa species, such as Ursa Minor and Ursa Major are introduced.

Character development
Twilight learned that it's okay to show off one's skills, as long as it's not done in a manner to put others down.
