The episode title “New Rachel” has a triple meaning of Marley being presented as the new lead for the club, other members competing to be the “new Rachel”, and Rachel herself in NY being someone different than she was before. The song New York State of Mind is a split duet where it’s a solo for the characters but the show presents it as a duet. This allows the iTunes version to have 3 versions; the duet version and a Marley and Rachel solo version. This is also done with defying gravity in s1 and s5, don’t cry for me Argentina, and bring him home. Notice that Kurt’s outfits this season are very different than the rest of the show. It’s because I believe the show got a new costume person for Chris this season and/or it could represent him putting on a more mature look now that he’s graduated. Either way, it’s some of the best outfits in the show. This episode marks the first time that important characters like Mercedes, Quinn, and Mike are no longer series regulars. ☹️ Below is a deleted scene from this episode between Sue and will. https://youtu.be/toSRbsCkir4?si=LeJdXCoXTpIwZ1Rr

While possible, it's unlikely Marley has a food handler's certificate, required by the local health department (and probably the school board). She wouldn't be freely working in the kitchen with Millie ( her mum), especially without her hair up and covered. Love these cute little scenes with these two regardless. Rachel's lips are together when Brody snaps the selfie, but shes smiling with teething show in the photo after. Sue would probably be fired if she showed Brittany beckys grade. But its glee and she should have been fired for many things before this haha.

* Chord Overstreet (Sam) was promoted to main cast starting in this episode, while Dianna Agron (Quinn) and Jayma Mays (Emma) were demoted to recurring roles. * Rory Flanagan's departure from the glee club is not commented on at all during this episode, although it had been established in Season Three that he had to leave the country. * This is also the first episode Mike is absent in since his introduction in Preggers * The scene with Brody and Rachel taking a picture of themselves was filmed where parts of I Love New York/New York, New York were performed. * In Hold on to Sixteen, Sebastian predicted that Blaine would be his by the end of the school year and that Kurt would be in a Lima Bean apron. As revealed in this episode, Kurt is working in a Lima Bean apron until he moves to New York towards the end of the episode. MISTAKES * While Jake is walking up to the audition list, another male student is seen signing his name. However, when a close-up of Jake signing his name is shown, De'wanda Umber's name is the last name that had been signed before. * When Rachel looks at the shower and sees Brody naked, she looks back, but we can clearly see in the reflection at Rachel's back that she turned around even before Brody opened the shower door. * In Pilot, Rachel's flashback showed her taking ballet, tap dancing and other dance classes due to her parents insisting her to do it. She's even taken some ballet lessons with Jesse (as said in Bad Reputation) even performing Total Eclipse of the Heart while in those classes. You'd think that Rachel's dancing would be exceptional with all those lessons, but in The New Rachel, Cassandra insults her dancing saying that she "sucks." However, lessons does not make one to the level of a broadway dancer, and it was stated later in Season 4 that Cassandra was just trying to push Rachel to be her best. During “It’s Time”, when everyone stops playing with the cups, they get up and bring the cups with them, but Blaine drops it onto the ground and walks a few steps, continuing singing. * We see the cup laying on the side, but over a few shots, it's standing up again. This action repeats more than once. * Around the 0:47 mark in the video, Blaine walks around the railing twice. During “Chasing Pavements”, during the performance, when Rachel takes her phone to look at pictures of Finn, the phone is white. But when she is talking with Kurt, her phone is black.

I looked it up because I was curious about the difference between Ohio and Manitoba, Canada since the high school I went to would have students from the Culinary Arts class working in the kitchen and they didn't have food handlers. I was in grade 10 for the 2012/2013 school year and was washing dishes at lunch. In Ohio it seems that in the 2010s only 1 member of the kitchen staff needed their food handlers and it was usually whoever was in charge, depending on the school and it's "risk factors" that same supervisor/manager may need a couple more certifications as well. (Mind you the students in the kitchen at my school were all following the hair up if long and covered in general rule)

Oh thats really interesting how different places actually handle food safety and handling. We never had students in the kitchens in high school. in colleges they do and they have training and are signed off for food handling and all that jazz. I have to have food handling training for my job and I only make toast and cereal 😆. Hair not being covered in kitchens is a pet peeve of mine. No one needs a mouth full of a strangers hair in their mas potatoes 🤢 😂

Jay Johnston

Yeah it is interesting the difference. In my high school it was the grades 11 & 12 students in the kitchen cooking and it was part of their classes. Grades 9 & 10 students were allowed to do dishes at lunch for extra credit and a whole meal. When I went the school's curriculum for Culinary Arts meant that if a student took it all 4 years then they would be able to contest their first year of college if they went straight from high school into a post-secondary school's Culinary Arts program

Ah so your school did what our college did. Thats pretty awesome. My school sucked for culinary arts haha
