Trivia

 * Tellyzx revealed that this was one of the hardest episodes to write. He admits to writing this episode a record 5 times before making the final cut.
 * This episode has many subtle (and not so subtle) parallels/references to the pilot.
 * 1) Thomas & Mark have switched their roles in the pilot. The former is now disillusioned in romance while the latter firmly believes in it. This was done to show their journey over the course of Season 1.
 * 2) Chad goes to Melody & Terry for advice in regards to confessing his feelings for Blaine.
 * 3) In the pilot, Melody & Terry couldn't stand each other but have since then grown closer to one another.
 * In the after credits scene, it's shown that Chad is now muscular. Tellyzx revealed that Chad's health problem was purposely created as a way to justify his transition from the hidden romantic into someone a little more open. He went on to say that Chad becomes very important in Season 2.
