    Humiliating

    It was so god to see the evil blonde one get her due. She's a bully and mean. Her being outed as a former bully victim makes what she did in S1 and two that much worse. Do not feel sorry for her one bit

    • Trivia
      Throughout this episode, many characters make reference to Rachel's nose being a result of her Jewish heritage (an antisemitic stereotype), 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).
    • 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.
