One little detail that's not really visible unless you're watching at 1080p, the cutie mark symbols on the chairs aren't flat colors; they have little bits of shading added to them.
Lots of little flourishes, the set dressing team really cares. :allears:

I have mixed feelings about this episode.

The episode was basically MMDW 2.0 but "RD takes it too far" situation was handled better here. This time other ponies at least tried to talk to RD before they turned RD's prank against her. The moral lesson was actually really good here.

But I think this episode would have worked better in S1 or S2 when (at least IMO) RD was less mature than nowadays. Now it felt like her character was regressed back several seasons.

I also didn't care about the whole zombie sequence. It felt too long and was boring.

It's been long enough since this came out that I feel the need to gush about something specific way near the end and it didn't look like anyone else brought it up. Dash's comeuppance wasn't borne from fear it was borne from this "empathy terror". She wasn't necessarily afraid the zombies were hurting her, her panic was because she felt responsible for hurting them.

The panic in her voice when she was all "no! You don't want these! They're making you sick!" was absolutely heart wrenching. Because they weren't enemies to her, they were still all her friends and she didn't know how to help them. :saddershy:

This episode needed a post-credits stinger where Starlight returns from a trip to Canterlot to find everypony dressed like cookie zombies and there's a long, awkward silence and then she says "Never mind, I don't want to know that badly."

I wonder why FiM never does those sorts of gags. For example, I forget who it was on here that suggested this, but Dragon Quest had a good opportunity for one such scene where back in Ponyville, Applejack and Pinkie Pie are trying to find Fluttershy after she ran away in the beginning of the episode.

Usually they run out of time at the end of the episode.

If they really wanted to move ShoutFactory units, they'd have 'em as deleted scenes.

There's Luna's "did I miss anything", but that wasn't really a gag.

Closest was "The Saddle Row Review", but it actually happened right before the end credits. And, of course, the rant in "Stranger Than Fan Fiction" that ran DURING the credits.

But yeah, most likely reason is they don't have enough time. Each episode is 22 minutes on the spot.
