Trivia
- This episode marks Chris Colfer as being a portrayer of the last member in the "original 5" (Founding members) of New Directions to guest mentor.
- Similarly to last season's finale, the previously eliminated contenders returned for the music video.
- Last season's co-winner Damian McGinty Jr. appeared in the music video, making him the first contender to appear in both finales' music videos and also the first contender to appear in a music video outside of his season. Although, he is not the only contender to appear in both seasons of The Glee Project as Ali Stroker - a finalist for this episode - also appeared in The Final 12 episode of the first season and Samuel Larsen appeared as a mentor in Season Two's Dance-ability.
- Taryn Mai, however, didn't return for the finale's music video having quit in Dance-ability (Season 2). It's unclear why she did not return, as Cameron Mitchell who quit in the previous season returned for his finale.
- Dianna Agron, Amber Riley, Samuel Larsen, Darren Criss, Damian McGinty, Chris Colfer, and Grant Gustin as well as the writers were in the audience during the final performances.
- This episode was the 4th time Aylin's LCP was sang by Lea Michele on Glee.
