During the dance, Kurt apologizes about having to wear gloves, which he claims is to hide a rash, though in reality he does not want Amanda to feel his furry hands, despite this, she remains happy and content that Kurt accepted her offer to come to the dance and continues to slow-dance with him as the night continues. After the dance, Amanda admits that she is aware Kurt's humane appearance is merely a façade and admits she has seen his true form, despite Kurt's attempts to deny the claims that he is really blue, Amanda insists she is fine with how he looks, a feat that shocks Kurt.
