Trivia

Throughout this episode, many characters make reference to Rachel's nose being a result of her Jewish heritage, and contrast it with Quinn's perfect nose. However, in their real lives, Dianna Agron (Quinn) actually is Jewish, while Lea Michele (Rachel) is not (she was raised Catholic although her father is jewish)

Goofs

When Lauren is talking to Quinn about Quinn's past she doesn't know what Quinn's old nickname was, and Quinn tells her. However on the poster it already has her old nickname on it when Lauren doesn't even know it.
