Tropes

• Eating the Eye Candy: Becky towards Artie at the start of the episode. In that we're lovingly treated to close-ups of his grips, eyes and smile, from her point of view.
• Fanfic Fuel: A handful of Faberry fics emerged, all showing Quinn rightfully pointing out Finn's selfishness in not taking Rachel's feelings into account.
• Foreshadowing: Minor, but still there. Before the "Moves Like Jagger/Jumpin' Jack Flash" number, Artie points out that the girls will probably suggest Will to sing a sappy ballad and even cry during his proposal. A few scenes later, he turns out to be right.
  • And intentional or not, the opening homage sets up the Season 4 episode Glease.
    • Most poignantly and obviously unintentionally, "Without You", sung by Rachel. 18 months later...
• Lyric Swap: The "Wedding Bell Blues" cover swaps out "Bill" for "Will".
• Shot-for-Shot Remake: The "Summer Nights" number.
