Trivia: There are a lot of Greek references. Cerberus, Tartarus, a messengers boots (Hermes reference) and the princesses. Twilight is the Greek word for friend love, or Philia. Cadence is Eros, or romantic love. Celestia is Agape, the love God has for mankind. Well, Celestia is kind of a god. Luna is Storge, love of a mother and child. This works because she has helped Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle in a motherly way. She was a mentor to both of them.
Trivia: Pinkie Pie didn't use the trombone to get rid of the parasites. That means she planned for the exact ending. Not unlikely, considering Pinky Sense.
Answer: The smoke floats a few feet away from Twilight and close to the camera so you might think that the smoke is right in her face.
