* SpellMyNameWithAnS: A minor example. Jessie's name is spelled with an ''i,'' but an equally common form of her name is spelled sans the ''i'' (Jesse). Kurt misspells her name when Googling her, and some comments in Jessie's streams also misspell her name. Kurt's name is also misspelled by a few of his streamers (one of them calls him "kurd").

* BaitAndSwitch: Jessie is at home with her grandmother, and someone knocks on the door. This happens at the same time Kurt is shown going up to somebody's door to knock on it, while ranting that Jessie's audience should rightfully be his. We're led to believe that Kurt is going to Jessie's house to kill her. But then it turns out that the person knocking on Jessie's door is her manager coming to drive her to her show, while Kurt had actually gone to Bobby’s house to confront him about not promoting Kurt's stream when he said he would.
