Tropes:
- Actor Allusion: Blaine's "diva" looks like a cross between Freddie Mercury/Adam Lambert and Hedwig of Hedwig and the Angry Inch - his actor famously performed "Don't Stop Me Now" (almost as much so as "Teenage Dream") and would later play Hedwig on Broadway, being one of three Glee stars to hop on the stage during the filming of the final season.
- Always Female: Blaine questions In-Universe why only the girls can be divas, then joins them and proves that he's quite the diva himself.
- Celebrity Paradox: Blaine is wearing one of Adam Lambert's Queen tour jackets - Adam Lambert joins the cast next season.
- Foreshadowing: There is a mention of a revival of Funny Girl; this will become a major plot element next season.
- Fag Hag: Tina to Blaine.
- Incompatible Orientation: Tina and Blaine, so she says that they can have a sexless romance.
- Magical Asian: Implied with the "cold-busting" kit that Tina gives Blaine.
- Oblivious to Love: Blaine.
- The Bus Came Back: Santana returns full time.
- Virgin in a White Dress: Finn's statement, with some mean implications that he's not smart enough to recognize.
