Very cheesy and stretches believability to its limits.

But it's well performed and the cast are likable.

Trivia
TheSlap.com in the show is a real website.

Goofs
In this episode, Rex reminds Cat that she didn't have a date to the prom last year. But later in Prom Wrecker (2011), Tori hopes to host the first ever Hollywood Arts prom.

Quotes
Lane: Put this on her head.
Tori Vega: That's not my head!

Alternate versions
The original broadcast of this episode contains scenes that were removed for commercials in later airings. Missing scenes include the following;
A longer description of Tori's mold experiment with her science partner.
A discussion over the tempo of the song Trina planned to perform.
Scenes of crew members forcing Tori into her costume before taking over Trina's performance.
Robbie and Rex having a longer argument on how to give Tori directions to Mr. Sikowitz's class.
Additional dialogue from Tori's first improv class where Cat and another student call their "daddy"(Beck) a loser, and Beck asks Jade if the "dog"(Tori) can sleep in their room.
Mr. Sikowitz actually coming in through the classroom window on Tori's second day, rather than simply suggesting that Tori should do the same.
Additional dialogue used during the alphabetical improv.
