Biography[]

Mash-Up

Quinn talks about Judy, saying that when she applied to college she put "being popular" as her main extra-curricular activity, and that she got into Arizona State University.

Ballad

Judy

Judy and her husband make their first introduction in this episode, where Russell walks in on Quinn and Judy preparing for the Chastity Ball. Just before he walks in, Judy places her hand on Quinn's stomach and realizes that she is pregnant, but decides not to talk about it to her husband. The family invites Finn over to the house for dinner. Finn, who has been feeling overwhelmed by the fact that Quinn is pregnant (along with other issues), sings (You're) Having My Baby to Quinn to explain how deeply he feels for her and the baby. Quinn's parents are at first confused by the song, and Russell demands answers. Quinn finally admits to her family that she got knocked-up, and again implies that Finn is the father. She then asks Russell to accept her and the pregnancy. Russell however is furious and horrified that his daughter could do something he deems so irresponsible as getting pregnant. When Quinn tries to get her mother's help who knew she was pregnant, but chose to ignore it, she's forced to side with Russell's judgment, who then kicks Finn and Quinn out. Judy is seen feeling terrible about not sticking up for Quinn.
