Will trying to convince him to join New directions is very reminiscent of the former goading Finn in season 1 (minus the plated drug, of course). His LoveTriangle involving Marley and Kitty also mirrors the Finn-Rachel-Quinn[[hottip:*:Ironically, Marley and Kitty are Rachel and Quinn's respective {{Expy}}s]] triangle in the inaugural season.

* {{Expy}}: Of Rachel

* ShadowArchetype: She could have been Rachel's {{Expy}} due to her role being very similar to the latter's. They even shared a duet with in her first episode - albeit she's in Ohio, while Rachel's in New York.

* TheIngenue

* RealityIsUnrealistic: Some viewers take issue with the name "Unique," thinking it more fitting of a DragQueen than a transgendered woman. It might not be a ''common'' name but it's not unheard-of for black girls.
