At Mr. Schuester’s Apartment… Quinn is daydreaming and remembering back to when her and Puck got together and how he said that he had protection but obviously either didn’t use it or didn’t use it correctly because she got pregnant.  Mr. Schuester walks up to her interrupting  her vision to ask her if she’s alright.  He has invited the group over to have a first annual New Directions set list nomination party.  The guys are really bummed out because they know that Coach Sylvester is a judge and she told them at Cheerios practice that she’s going to crush them.  Tina begins to cry and talk about how she loves them and feels special for being a part of something special.  They then go on to talk about how it’s all over because Glee club will be over and they will each go their separate ways.  Instead of a set list nomination party it turned into a crying session where they just each went around the room and talked about what they loved about the time they shared together.

At school… Will is in Emma’s office telling her about what happened the night before with the set list party and how it took everything in him not to cry right along with them.  Emma asks what exactly he wants from her.  She recalls back to when he wanted to quit teaching and become an accountant but she showed him a video of him singing and he said that it was the happiest moment of his life.  She goes on to cheer him up a bit but then when he says that he’s missed her she tells him that she’s been seeing someone.  That someone is her dentist Carl Howell.  Will thanks her for the help and walks out disappointed.

Driving on the highway… As Will is driving home he is switching radio stations when Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believing” comes on the radio.  He pulls over and overcome with emotion begins to cry.

The next day at school… Rachel is somberly walking down the hall when Finn stops her and says that they need to talk.  he tells her that She’s their leader and that the two of them are going to fix things and they will go on to regionals and win.  After he finishes she surprisingly kisses him and begins to smile.

In the choir room… Mr. Schuester writes the word “JOURNEY” on the board and begins to reminisce about how it was when they first began up until where they are now.  He talks about how he wanted to quit at one point but they brought him back with ‘Don’t Stop Believing”, they decided to do a Journey Medley.

At Regionals… Will walks in to see them introducing the judges, Josh Groban, Olivia Newton-John, News Anchor Rod Remington, and Coach Sue Sylvester.  The first group, Oral Intensity is announced.  They cut to backstage to hear Puck and the others complaining because they performed a mash-up of Josh Groban and Olivia Newton-John because someone tipped them off to who the judges are.  They are bummed because they feel they can’t win but Mr. Schuester assures them that they have something that the others don’t and that they can still win.  After this, they get set to perform. Before Finn goes on stage Rachel tells him to break a leg, and he tells her that he loves her. They then go out and perform “Faithfully” by Journey.  They then break into “Anyway You Want It“, and end their set with “Don’t Stop Believing“.

Backstage… As they are celebrating and feeling great about their performance. Quinn’s mom comes up to her. When he asks if something was wrong with dad, she says that she just wanted to see her perform and that she was wonderful and how sorry she was for missing the other performances.  Her mother has left her father because he was having an affair with some ‘tattooed freak’.  she wants Quinn to come home.  When she asks Quinn to say something she says her water just broke.

Back on stage… next up is Vocal Adrenaline.  They are performing “Bohemian Rhapsody” By Queen with Jesse St. James as the lead. as they perform they cut to scenes of Quinn being rushed to the hospital by the group.  When she gets there she ask s that Mercedes come with her as the others wait nervously.  They show Quinn pushing and in loads of pain and Puck looking on confused and scared as she yells at him that he sucks!!  The rest of the group paces the floor in the waiting room and look on in anticipation.  By the end of the song she has had a beautiful baby girl.

At Regionals… Seems that everyone went to the hospital except Rachel.  She congratulates Ms. Corcoran on their performance but also says that Vocal Adrenaline’s best days are behind them. She wants her to come teach at McKinley and co direct with Mr. Schuester.  She feels that there is so much that she can teach her. Ms. Corcoran tells her that she is tired of teaching Glee clubs and that she wants a real life. She wants to start a family since she missed out on raising Rachel.

In the Judge’s room… Sue steps in and goes off, she tells them that she doesn’t care who comes in first or second but that she knows who she wants to come in last.  Rod Remington was feeling the Bohemian Rhapsody so that’s a vote for Vocal Adrenaline. Olivia Newton-John was offended that only one group chose to honor her so that’s a vote for Oral Intensity, and Josh Groban while hitting on Sue thinks that New Directions should win because they have ‘heart’. As Olivia Newton-John is going off on New Directions she begins to feel sorry and actually takes up for them.  Then the ‘celebrities’ seem to turn on her and wonder why she’s even there because she’s not a celebrity, she’s just like that ‘ragtag’ group from her school. They feel they aren’t good they just try hard.  They start the voting.

On Stage… The groups are lined up as the judges come out to announce the winners.  The runners up are Oral Intensity, which leaves a decision between Vocal Adrenaline and our beloved New Directions. Sue then after a brief pause announce Vocal Adrenaline as the winner.  The dejected group looks on somberly as they realize the they didn’t even place.

Back at the hospital… Quinn and Puck are looking at the baby as she is in with the other babies.  He asks if she wants to keep her and Quinn tells him no.  Asking if he loved her, he says yes especially now. They awkwardly look at and away from each other. Ms. Corcoran then walks up and asks which one of the babies is Quinn’s.  When she recognizes her, she asks if she has a name, and they tell her it’s Beth. *Is she going to adopt Quinn’s baby so that she can start a family? hmmm…*

In Principal Figgins’ Office… Ms. Pillsbury and Prinicipal Figgins are having a heated discussion and she storms out.  Will asks what happened and she tells him that he has already given their choir room away. She says some things are worth fighting for, while she’s talking about the kids he’s talking about their relationship. As she goes to walk off so that she won’t have to discuss it he grabs her arm and tells her that he loves her.  He tells her that Dentist or no, things aren’t over between them then passionately kisses her.  As he is kissing her Rachel interrupts and summons him to the auditorium.

In the Auditorium… The group is on stage and they each tell him how things were with them before they joined the glee club and how much better things are now. They feel that they have won because they have him as a teacher. Glee club will never end because he is Glee club and he’s in all of them now.  They then go on to perform ” To Sir With Love” by Lulu. Sue is seen watching this from the back of the auditorium and she seems to be a little emotional about it.

In the choir room… As Will is clearing out the choir room, Sue comes in to see him and gloat a little. He says that she’s gotten what she wants and that he should shake her hand.  She hits back with one of the lines of the night. ‘Not unless you have some hand sanitizer, I’ve seen that car you drive. I don’t want to catch poor.’  He feels that they were better than Oral Intensity. As they flash back to the judges decisions it shows that she actually voted for them to win first place, Oral Intensity second and Vocal Adrenaline third. This is unknown to Will.  She goes on to tell him that she wants another year to torment him. the show her in Figgin’s office telling him that she want to group to stay for another year and that she gets what she wants because of the blackmail stuff she has on him.  Figgins has had enough and says that he will tell his wife about the pictures before he’ll be bullied by her again. If he gives them another year then she won’t blackmail him anymore. She then tells Will that she thinks that he’s a good teacher. As they shake hands, she tells him to good luck and  relishes the thought of another full year of besting him.

In the choir room… As the group looks and stares at Mr. Scuester sadly, he finally tells them that they have another year. They all get excited and celebrate. Before they leave for the summer, Mr. Schuester, with a little help from Puck, sings them a song.  He performs ” Somewhere Over The Rainbow” by Judy Garland. As they sing, they inter-splice a scene of Ms. Corcoran adopting Quinn’s baby at the hospital, ending the first season of Glee.

As they clean up the toilet paper and wonder how they got into the auditorium, Coach Sylvester comes in and tells them that she gave them a key.  She then goes on to make plans on redesigning the choir room into her trophy annex.  She then goes on to tell the group that they have no shot at winning regionals.  As she is talking Will asks to see her trophy then proceeds to smash it against the wall.  Sue then hits him with the line of the night; “trophies are like herpes, you can try to get rid of them but they just keep coming back…”  He then kicks her out.

Later that night… Back at Will’s apartment… Will and Terri are signing their divorce papers with regret and apprehension.  Before she leaves she comes over to Will and tells him that he’s still that 16 year old boy to her *the one she fell in love with* and always will be, then she kisses him on the forehead and leaves.

The next day… In the Choir room…  Mr. Schuester comes in to talk to the group about regrets and asks who has some.  They each go on to name something that they regret doing or someone they regret being with.  He doesn’t want them to regret losing to vocal adrenaline at regionals if they give it their best.  He also thinks that they should somehow get back at them for tee-peeing their choir room.  As they are brainstorming, Puck realizes that it’s up to him and Finn to do something for revenge.  They slash the tires of all of Vocal Adrenaline’s Range Rovers.

In Prinicipal Figgin’s office… Puck takes the rap for slashing the tires as Ms. Corcoran berates him with Mr. Schuester and Coach Sylvester looking on.  Prinicipal Figgins expels Puck and Finn because they committed a felony.  Since Ms. Corcoran doesn’t want them to get expelled she says that they money can come out of the Glee club budget.  Problem with that is that they don’t have that kind of money in the budget.  Finn suggests that they get jobs and will pay her the money in one month.

Later that day… Will is spotted buying some weed from Sandy because he seems to be depressed.  As they talk about how to get out of the funk, Sandy tells him that Vocal adrenaline has a weakness…

In the choir room… Mr. Schuester writes the work Funk on the board and tells them that they are going to get ‘funked up’!  He tells them that they can beat Vocal Adrenaline by doing a funky number  because you have to have soul to be funky and Vocal Adrenaline is more of a machine.  Their assignment for the week is to turn the school into funky town. When Mercedes says she has this one under control, Quinn says that she can and wants to get funky too.  They all laugh.  She says that she will have something prepared for the next day. 

In Mr. Schuester’s office… Rachel is bummed about Jesse breaking her heart and babbling on and on.  Will begins to drift off into his own thoughts on how to beat Coach Sylvester.  By charming her and then dumping her right before her  big competition.

later in the practice room… Will is going over a few things when Sue comes in to kick him out and he starts to lay on the charm. Thick.  He starts by saying that the way the light is hitting her makes her look stunning.  After showering her with compliments, he asks her to help with this song he is thinking about for regionals, he wants to know if it’s too suggestive.  he begins to dance seductively as he sings “Tell Me Something Good” by Rufus and Chaka Khan. After his hot performance Sue acts as if it had no effect on her and nonchalantly walks out of the room.

later… Finn and Puck are working at ‘Sheets and Things’ with Terri to pay off the damages they did to Vocal Adrenaline’s car tires.  Sandy is shopping and asks the guys about some pink things for his bathroom, when they say they don’t know he berates them and tells them that he needs music to shop. Puck then goes to the stereo, turns it up, grabs his guitar and he and Finn begin to sing/rap “Loser” by Beck as he walks through the store.  soon the rest of the staff joins in only to find that it’s just a dream that Puck is having.  After Terri turns down the music and sends Puck away, she hears Finn ask her how to fold a sham, but for a split second she thinks it’s Will.

The next day… Coach Sylvester is writing in her diary about what happened between her and Will the day before.  She admits to having feeling for him, sexy non murdering feelings.  She thinks that she may be falling in love with him.  As she jots this down Will knocks on her door with some flowers for her, along with some carbo gels.  He tells her that he doesn’t get it either but that you can’t deny their chemistry.  He then goes on to tell her that his divorce has opened his eyes to a whole new world of possibilities. The only thing he wants is Sue. He wants to take her to dinner this week and she agrees.

Back at Sheets and Things… Terri is helping Finn fold a sham and as they talk she decides that she will help him with his Glee assignment to help them both get out of their funk.

In the choir room… Quinn is preparing to perform her piece for the class.  She begins with a speech about how it’s hard being pregnant and not getting the respect she deserves.  As she’s talking, in walks a group of pregnant girls that she calls the unwed Mothership connection.  they get into place and she begins to sing “A Man’s World” by James Brown. *She tried, she really did but umerra it didn’t work*.  The rest of the group looks on in shock.  Afterwards they come up to congratulate and hug her, all except Mercedes who has this look of disgust on her face. *the same one that I have, one of being unfulfilled.*

Later that night… Sue is at the restaurant with a track suit and some pearls on waiting on Will to arrive but he has stood her up.  she decides to go to Will’s apartment.  *He is expecting her and it’s part of his plan.*  She then berates him for standing him up only for him to have her realize that what he did to her is exactly what she has done to him and the glee club.  she ruined his marriage, terrorized the glee club, and sabotaged his relationship with Emma.  He tried to play nice but realized that cruelty was the only way to get her attention. He tells her that he has no interest in dating her and kicks her out.

The next day in the hall… Will sees Santanna crying and walks up to ask if she’s alright. As she walks away he asks Kurt what is happening and he tells him that Coach Sylvester won’t get out of bed and the Cheerios haven’t practiced in days.  The girls are beginning to crack.  Without nationals some of the girls won’t get scholarships.

Back in the choir room… Puck, Finn, and Mercedes get ready to perform their version of “Good Vibrations” by Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch.  After their performance, Mr. Schuester tells them that it was a great performance but it wasn’t funk just because the name of the group has funky bunch in it.  they realize that they in such a funk that they can’t even pick the right song.

later in the library… Mercedes approaches Quinn about her performance and tells her that even though she’s not a minority she understands how it feels at times.  Quinn goes on to tell her about how she feels when people prejudge her.  In a gesture of good will, to help her release at least a little of her stress Mercedes tells Quinn that she can move in with her and that she has already cleared it with her parents.

Later at Sue Sylvester’s home…  Will goes to see how Sue is doing.  Her house is filled with trophies.  He goes on to tell her that her pulling out of nationals with devastate some of her kids.  She tells him that she’s tired of those kids, she has devoted her life to them and has nothing to show for it.  She is so lonely that she doesn’t even like Will but was jumping at the chance to be with him.  He then apologizes for what he did to her and gets her back on her feet.  His motivation works and she is up and back at it.

The next day in the hall… Rachel receives a call from Jesse telling her to meet him in the parking lot. She excitedly goes out to meet him in the parking lot.  As she runs to him, his smile turns into a sinister scowl.  As soon as she stops the Vocal Adrenaline crew come out of nowhere and pummel her with eggs from every direction!

Back in the Choir room… Rachel is telling them what happens and the guys decide to go out and beat up Vocal Adrenaline but Mr. Schuester stops them.  He tells them that they are amazing no matter what Vocal Adrenaline says or does. He tells Rachel to call Jesse’s cell phone, when she does Mr. Scuester takes to phone and tells them that they need to meet in the glee auditorium Friday at  3 sharp.

Later that night.  Will is at his apartment watching Sue and the Cheerios accept another national title.  At the end of the interview she is asked where she is going to put the huge trophy, right after she says that she knows just the place the doorbell rings.  In walks some cheerios with the trophy.  They set it up in the middle of his Apartment.  She then gives him two options. 1. the  trophy can be installed in the choir room inside a bulletproof case as a daily reminder of his failure as a man and an educator or 2. he can kiss her on the lips. With tongue!  Just as he leans in to kiss her she stops him and says that she’s not going to do it and even his breath stinks of mediocrity and it’s making her sick, walking out.  the next day, the trophy is installed in the choir room.

In the auditorium… Vocal Adrenaline sit and wait as Rachel comes out to introduce the crew.  After telling them that they are about to do something that Vocal Adrenaline could never pull off the group begins  the last performance of the night of “We Want The Funk” By George Clinton and Parliment Funkadelic to a shocked Vocal Adrenaline.  After the performance, Jesse tells one of the members that they’ve never done a funk song and now he’s depressed.

At Kurt’s house… Finn’s mom is walking him into the basement as he has his eyes closed, so she can surprise him.  When he opens his eyes he’s surprised by Kurt and his dad standing there smiling and offering him sparkling cider.  Burt (Kurt’s dad) has asked Finn and his mom to move in with them.  Finn is pissed about it!  Not only does he not want to move in, but he also doesn’t want to share a room with Kurt.

The next day in class… Tina shows up in some jeans and a sweatshirt instead of her usual attire. The others try and help her find a new look by giving her suggestions of everything from hoodrat to cross country skier.  Rachel then comes storming in to tell them what she found out about Vocal Adrenaline.  She got this info by going through the dumpsters behind their auditorium.  she found 18 empty boxes for Christmas lights, which lead her to a fabric store.  At the fabric store she asked about red Chantilly lace and they were sold out.  As the others ooh and ahh in shock Mr. Schuester confusingly asks what it all means. Kurt tells him that they are doing GaGa. They feel that it’s over.  Mr. Scheuster gives them their assignment for the week.  Lady Ga Ga!

Later that day… Rachel, Mercedes and Quinn decide to go and spy on Vocal Adrenaline as they rehearse the dance moves for ‘Bad Romance’.  While the instructor is trying to tell them about ‘theatricality’ she decides to show them by performing ‘Funny Girl‘ by Barbara Streisand.  As she performs Rachel is mesmerized by her presentation and gets up to go down to the stage. By the end of the performance, Rachel is at the front of the stage as she tells Ms. Corcoran that she is her daughter.

After rehearsal… Rachel and (her mom) Ms. Corbin are sitting in the auditorium seats talking.  She tells Rachel that she knew it was the right time for Rachel to find her when she her extraordinary performance at sectionals.  Rachel asks her if it was hard to not become a star.  She tells her that it feels like a broken promise.  Ms. Corcoran begins to regret telling her because they both seem sad about it. She says that she is sorry and will call her before rushing off.

In Will’s Office… Finn comes to talk to Mr. Schuester while he’s learning all this amazing stuff about lady Gaga. Finn tells him that the guys don’t want to do lady Gaga and that they are always doing what the girls want to do.  Will agrees and decides that he should find something that the guys want to do, Finn already has an idea.

In the hall… Puck is trying to convince Quinn to name their daughter ‘Jack Daniels’.  She keeps telling him that she is giving up the baby.  Tina is dressed in a Gaga inspired champagne bubbles dress and outfit with Kurt dressed in a Gaga inspired Mozart fit.  As they walk down the hall, people stare and look in shock.  As they are walking two jocks push them into a locker. * This must be Kurt’s tipping point* Kurt says something to them and when they come back he says it’s okay to push him around but not a lady (Tina).  They quip back that lately they can’t tell the difference, saying that they aren’t ga ga for Gaga and how they ‘dress all freaky’ and then rub it in everyone’s faces. Kurt tells them that it’s about being theatrical and expressing who they are, the same as when they wear their football uniforms.  Their are just expressing themselves. As the confrontation is about to be over and the jocks are walking away, Kurt tells them not to be late for their appointment at super cuts, the jocks then tell him to watch his mouth Homo.  This leaves Tina and Kurt hurt and embarrassed.

Later at Glee rehearsal… The kids are showing off their Gaga attire.  When they notice that Rachel is missing, they begin to tell how they were spying on Vocal Adrenaline and Rachel found out that Ms. Corcoran is her biological mother leaving the others in shock.  they think that Rachel is going to leave them for Vocal Adrenaline but their wrong.  A soon as they say something she walks in telling them that she won’t leave and that her dads have moved the therapist into the spare room at their house.  They decide to focus on Rachel’s family issue a little later and focus on the songs as they break into a Glee performance of ‘Bad Romance‘ by Lady Gaga. *It’s not half bad. I like it.*

Later in the Bathroom… Finn is getting hassled by the same two jocks that hassled Tina and Kurt earlier.  They think that Glee is gay and him being a jock and being in Glee makes him bisexual.  they begin to push and shove one another.  Before leaving they tell him to get out of their bathroom, because the girls belong across the hall.

At Vocal Adrenaline rehearsal… As they are taking a break after a run through, Rachel comes to her to ask for her help in sewing a Gaga outfit because her dads can’t sew.

Later in the auditorium… Rachel shows up with a new Gaga inspired outfit.  When the others comment on it she tells them that her mom helped her. As they get settled Mr. Schuester decides to introduce the guys performance.  They are on stage dressed as Kiss and perform ‘Shout it Out Loud‘.

Later in the hall… Kurt and Tina are walking down the hall talking about the guy’s performance when they run into the same bullies again. And back them into a wall.

Later that evening… Kurt and Finn are in their room, as Kurt is repairing his damaged outfit and Finn is cleaning off his Kiss makeup he asks Finn to talk to the jocks about not messing up his outfit the next time they harass him.  Finn says that he won’t because it’s already hard enough that people think that they are dating.  He then goes on to say that he doesn’t understand why Kurt has to make such a spectacle of himself and that he should just try to blend it. It would be easier on him.  As Finn goes back to taking off the makeup, Kurt comes over to give him some advice and help him take it off when Finn begins to spaz  out and slaps Kurt’s hand away telling him not to touch him! Realizing that he overreacted and embarrassed he finishes taking off his make up in the laundry room. Kurt yells at him to grow up!

In Will’s Office… Ms. Corcoran is explaining to him that she knows why he called her and that her reconnection with Rachel is not a plot to mess with them before regionals.  Will isn’t worried about regionals, he’s worried about Rachel’s emotional state.  He just wants to know if she is as commited to it as Rachel.  Even though she can’t have any kids because of some medical problems she doesn’t feel that Rachel needs her.  Will tells her that he feels that she needs to tell Rachel.

In Kurt and Finn’s room… Kurt is showing Finn the room he redecorated so that he would like it and feel more at home.  It’s a Morrocan themed room.  Finn tells him that he is insane if he thinks he can live in that room.  Kurt doesn’t understand why Finn is getting so upset about it. Finn says that he doesn’t want to dress in front of him and such. He knows that Kurt has a crush on him and feels uncomfortable about it.  Kurt begins to become frustrated and yells that ‘it’s just a room Finn!! We can redecorate it if you want to!’ Finn cracks and shows his homophobic side and begins to go off on a tantrum!  sayiing things like ‘ first we need to get id of the faggy lamp, and then this faggy couch’! He i interrupted by Kurt’s dad as he comes down stairs and rips into him!!  He confronts him about using the word Fag and how it is horrible! He makes him feel like crap, he thought Finn might have been different from the others but he sees that he’s not.  He then tells Finn that he can’t stay there, he loves his mom and if that costs his relationship then so be it because his family comes first and he can’t have that kind of poison around. ‘Out in the world you do what you want but not under my roof’.  Finn leaves the basement embarrassed and ashamed with his head down.  Kurt’s dad then turns to him before going back upstairs to tell him that the place looks great.

The next day at school… During Glee rehearsal, Finn tells Kurt he wants to talk about what happened but Kurt doesn’t. When he says that he thought Finn was different, he tells him that he is different.  While Mr. Schuester is preparing to talk about something, Puck walks in.  He has something that he wants to say to Quinn and wants everyone else to hear.  His dad wasn’t there for him, but he wants to be there for his child.  He then, along with they other guys, performs ‘Beth‘ by Kiss.  After the performance he tells Quinn that he would really like to be there when she’s born and even though she’s giving up the baby that she should name her Beth.

Later that day… Rachel is in the auditorium going over some notes when Ms. Corcoran comes in.  She says that she really wanted things to work.  She feels that it’s too late for them to have anything, it would just be too confusing.  they decide to be grateful for one another from a far for a while.  They give each other a tearful hug goodbye.  She then gives her a present.  A fancy cup with a star. *the cup is because Rachel said that when they first met she was thirsty. This is because whenever she was sad her fathers would bring her water. So now whenever she gets sad she gets thirsty.  Ms. Corcoran gave her the cup to remember her by whenever she gets sad.* Rachel asks that before she leaves if she’ll sing a song with her. They perform a jazzy rendition of Lady Gaga’s ‘Poker Face‘. *Excellent performance!! Probably the best of the night! Their voices accompany one another’s very well.*

The next day in class… Mr. Schuester walks in to his surprise to find everyone in their costumes.  They found out the lesson for the week from Tina, as she walks in dressed in her goth attire, was that you shouldn’t dress like something you’re not to be like something you’re not and that’s its okay to be a little theatrical. they flash to a scene of Principal Figgins coming down the hall only to see Tina dressed in full vampire gear. She tells him that her dad is the king of all vampires and that Asian vampires are the most vicious of all vampires.  If he doesn’t let her wear her goth clothes then her dad will fly into his bedroom and bite his face because he’s really pissed!   After that Artie realizes and asks where Kurt and Finn are…

In the Hall…Kurt is being harassed by the two jocks and about to get beat up when Finn shows up superhero style and says that they aren’t going to hit anyone. He is dressed in a lady Gaga Red rubber dress!!  He tells Kurt that he still has a lot to learn but wants to thank Kurt for helping him realize his faults.  As the jocks begin towards Kurt, the other Glee members show up as support.  Realizing that they are outnumbered they leave.  For now.  Rachel says that she is tired of people always calling them freaks, Finn tells them that they are all freaks together and should not have to hide it.  They decide to go back in the room to practice for regionals, ending this episode.

This episode begins with Will being summoned to Principal Figgins’ office.  While there he is introduced to the newest member of the school board.  His arch rival Bryan Ryan *played by Neil Patrick Harris*.  Apparently he made Will’s life a living hell in high school by getting every solo in the Glee Club as well as every girl he wanted.  He is there to audit the school’s budget and cut some of the extra curricular programs.  He’ll most likely cut the Glee Club.  He has turned a leaf since his show choir days and now for four nights a week he runs a show choir conversion group that The new teacher Brenda *Molly Shannon*from last week is in it.  He wants to speak to the group.  Though Will objects, Principal Figgins makes him.

In the choir room…  Will introduces Bryan Ryan to the kids. As he begins his speech he tells them to take out a piece of paper and write down a dream that they have that means so much that they can’t admit to anyone else.  He then takes that paper and throws it away telling them that the dream will never happen.  91% of them will spend their lives living in their same county.  *He’s just a major Debbie Downer the entire time*.  Will kicks him out because of this.

In the library… Tina comes over to help Artie reach a book and they begin to talk about their future.  She tells him that she saw what he wrote on the paper when she went back to get her book bag.  Artie wanted to be a dancer.  To cheer him up she decides that since Mr. Scheuster was too busy with Bryan Ryan to give them an assignment that they could do one on their own. A dance number.

At a dance studio… Rachel is practicing her ballet.  As she spins around she sees Jesse St. James.  They begin talking about what her real dream is.  As they talk and walk down the hall she reveals that her real dream is to meet her mom.  Jesse says that they should find her and he won’t stop until they do.

In the choir room… Artie and Tina are practicing their dance routine.  It doesn’t go well at first.  Frustrated, Artie stops the practice and asks Tina to hand him some crutches that he received from a kid with cerebral palsy.  She helps him up out of the chair and he tries to walk.  He takes a step and then falls.  Defeated and embarrassed, he tells Tina to go away and that she pushed him to try it.  She says that she is sorry and leaves him there.

In the Home Ec room…  Will finds Bryan doing inventory on the Home Economics supplies.  He offers to buy him a beer and/or convince him that he is wrong about the Glee Club.

Back in the library…  Rachel comes up to Jesse to let him know that she has found her mother. After doing some research she thinks that her mother is Broadway legend Patty Lupone.  Rachel believes this to be true because of the roles and songs that she sung.  After doing the math to see if it is possible, she believes it is.  Her birthday is December 18, 1994.  1994 was a big year for Patty.  She did a show in Akron, Ohio 9 months before she was born.  When Jesse questions her theory she asks him if he wants to see proof that Bernadette Peters is her mother.  She just doesn’t want to find out that her mother was some teenager that got pregnant like Quinn or just some girl that would give up her daughter for some money.  He wants to do a real investigation, like CSI.  Her fathers have kept every single piece or paper related to her in a file cabinet in her basement.  They start there.

In a Bar… Will and Bryan are at the having some beers and talking.  As they make small talk Will says that all the girls wanted Bryan.  Bryan doesn’t agree. When pressed by will as to which girl got away he says that it was Terri *Will’s soon to be ex wife*causing Will to almost chokes on his drink!  He tells Bryan that he married her and that it just didn’t work out.  He goes on to tell him that music and the glee club helped him get over the hurt.  After this, Bryan begins to cry and tells him that he’s living a lie.  he still loves Music and performing.  3 times a year he tells his wife that he is on a business trip and sneaks off to New York to see a bunch of Broadway shows.  he even has a box of Playbills hidden in his basement, like porn.  Will is perplexed by this and gets an idea.  He goes over to the jukebox and begins to play ‘Piano Man‘ By Billy Joel.  This is what Bryan Ryan sang as his solo for sectionals and wants him to sing it again there to cheer him up.  After the first few bars he begins to sing along.  The two make it a duet as they sing karaoke style.  Afterwards, Will tells him that he should give it another shot and that the local theatre company is holding open auditions for Les Mis *one of my favorite plays. I remember going to see it om Broadway with my high school Choir on a trip to New York my Junior or Senior year. Shouts to Sumter High School Choir, We the best!!!!*  and that they should both try out. 

The next day… Tina catches up to Artie and apologizes to him about what happened the day before.  Artie apologizes as well for his reaction.  She tells him that she did some research on new ways to treat spinal cord injuries.  She just doesn’t want him to give up on his dream.

At Rachel’s house…  Rachel and Jesse are going through some of the things that she brought up from the basement.  While Rachel is not looking, Jesse slips a tape into one of the boxes and pretends that he found it there.  The tape is titled “From mother to daughter”.  He goes to play the tape but she stops him because she doesn’t think that she’s ready yet and asks him to leave.

At the Open Audition…  Will and Bryan are getting prepared and find out that they are trying out for the same part and are planning to sing the same song.  As they argue the director then tells them to sing it as a duet.  They decide on ‘Dream On‘ By Aerosmith.  After this stellar performance the director walks out and says that they’ll let them know.

Later at the mall… Artie buys a pair of tap shoes. As they going around Tina asks if he wants a pretzel, since they are upstairs he waits for her to return.  Before she goes he tells her to wait because he wants to tell her something.    He went to the doctor and started on some of the treatments in the research that she gave him.  It’s beginning to work!  He puts both of his feet on the ground and  as he helps him up he begins to walk, to her amazement.  He walks over to the stereo and turns the music up and begins to dance! Break dance and hip hop at that!!! He’s a part of a flash mob  similar to this  *Seems to good to be true right?*  Actually that was only a vision or dream that Artie wanted to happen, as they cut back to a scene of him sitting in his wheelchair alone while waiting on Tina’s return.

In Coach Sylvester’s office… She tells Bryan that she thought he would have put an end to the glee club.  *He seems to have other plans*as he tells her of his return to the stage in Les Mis, he has decided to examine not just the glee club but all of the extra curricular activities and her Cheerios budget is way out of control.  He has done some research and discovered that music and the arts help kids learn.  She quips back that 1/3 of American teenagers are obese and only 2% of high schools require any form of daily physical activity. She goes on to say that sports teaches teamwork, problem solving, and social skills.  She feels that what she does makes a difference.  Bryan seems to be turned on by her and they decide to go to her secret room upstairs *like Letterman* and have sex.  He’s still cutting half her budget though.

Later that night…  Jesse gets into the car with his old instructor and tells her that Rachel has the tape but won’t listen to it.  he has started to actually like her.  He doesn’t seem to understand why she can’t just go up to Rachel and tell her that she’s her mom. * Yep!! The Vocal Adrenaline instructor is Rachel’s mom!! They actually do look alike.*She says that she can’t because of a contract that she signed stating that she can’t contact her until she turns 18.  Rachel can only contact her, that’s why she wants her to listen to the tape.  She feels that once she hears it she will have no choice but to come and find her.  She then goes on to tell him about how she came to be Rachel’s mom.  she answered an ad in the paper.  For 9 month’s work she would have enough money to live in New York for 2 years.  She eventually failed as an actress, and her only regret is giving up Rachel.

In Miss Pillsbury’s office… Artie goes to see Miss Pillsbury because he’s going to need help adapting to his new lifestyle once he begins walking.  He gives her the research to look over.  She breaks the news that it may not happen because his injury is irreversible and even if it’s not, the research is in it’s infancy and probably could take at least 10 years before it can even be tested on humans.  Before he leaves feeling rejected, she tells him that maybe they should start meeting once a week anyway.

In glee practice… Bryan tells the club that he took some of the money from the Cheerio budget and bought them new costumes because he feels that the arts matter.  He gives them some custom made denim jackets, tear away dance wear and sheet music from every Broadway show for the last 50 years.  The kids as well as Mr. Scheuster are shocked at his change.  Coach Sylvester comes into the room to congratulate Will.  He thinks it’s because of the new things but it’s only to tell him that he won the role in the play over Bryan. He is clearly upset about not getting the lead part and decides that he is going to cut the Glee club.

At the Theatre… Will confronts Bryan to try and have him reconsider cutting the program.  He goes on to tell him that the kids may not be stars but they shine like them. If he cuts the program he is not only cutting out their lights but creating 13 black holes.  He then tells him that he wants him to take his lead part so that he can remember what it’s like to be a star.  They strike a deal, if Will gives him the part then he won’t cut the program.

In Rachel’s room… As she is coming out of the bathroom, she sees Jesse queuing up the tape.  he feels that she’ read to hear it, presses play and leaves.  As the tape starts and Rachel hears her mother’s voice she sits down on the bed nervously.  her mother begins to sing ‘I Dreamed a Dream‘ from Les Mis, also sung by Susan Boyle on the tape as well as inter-cut scenes with Rachel on stage.

Later at school… Artie is telling Tina that she should find another partner to dance with and that he has come to the conclusion that he will never walk again and that he’s okay with it and he’ll still sing his part just no dancing.  Mr. Scheuster tells the others about Bryan not cutting the program because he traded his part so that they could keep the club. He then asks Tina to come up to perform.  The final performance of the night is the club on stage in a dress rehearsal for regional.  Artie begins to sing ‘Dream a little Dream of Me‘ originally sung by Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong but most recently remade by Michael Buble.

Meanwhile, Rachel pulls out an old lady’s medicine cabinet worth of vitamins and other assortments.  She explains to Mr. Scheuster that she is tired all of the time because everything that she sings is a solo.  The other members are horrible.  She even went as far as to have the choir room bugged.  She compiles a list of the members that she feels are not pulling their weight.  It’s half the club.

In the Hall… Puck approaches Mercedes at her locker.  He tells her that he has a proposition to make.  He’s done some research and found out that Blacks and Jews  have a history of sticking up for each other and, according to Wikipedia, King Martin Luther loved the Jews.  His point is since she’s  popular now and he needs to spice up his image that they should join forces, stroking Mercedes’ arm while telling her that he likes a girl with curves.  Mercedes gives him a side-eye of death as she tells him that she is just not attracted to him and she knows what he does to the girls he dates.  They just aren’t compatible.  He’s top 40 while she’s Rhythm and Blues.

In the Choir room… Mr. Scheuster is telling the guys how disappointed he is in them.  Finn whispers to Rachel that he can’t believe that she told on them and she goes all defensive saying how she’s tired of carrying all of them with Regionals being in a month.  When asked why he stopped singing, Finn says that it’s because Mr. Scheuster gave all the male leads to Jesse and it shook his confidence.  Mr. Scheuster gives them their assignment to come up with a song that best describes where they are in their life right now.  He gives them all solos in an attempt to get their voice back.

As class ends… Kurt and Mercedes are walking out of the choir room talking about what songs they will choose when Kurt’s father enters.  He sees Kurt and speaks.  Kurt thinks something is wrong but the only reason his father is there is to pick up Finn and take him to a baseball game.  Kurt asks why he wasn’t invited.  Simply because he’s more interested in the uniforms and not the game.

Later in the choir room… Puck is still trying to get with Mercedes with lines like “Girl you got more curves than a Nissan ad”. Seriously?  As Mr. Scheuster comes in to get things started Rachel volunteers to go first.  She has chosen to perform “The Climb” by Miley Cyrus because it’s about overcoming obstacles and beating the odds which in her case is the rest of the glee club.  She performs horribly! All off key and pitch.  As she tries to fight through it, Mr. Scheuster stops her and tells her that he thinks that she’s lost her voice.

The next day at school… As Kurt is in the hall looking in the mirror, Coach Sylvester comes up and asks why he wasn’t at Cheerios practice.  He begins to talk to her about his relationship with his dad and how his sexuality may be causing a conflict.  She goes on to ask if he’s kissed a boy? No. Has he kissed a girl? No.  Then he doesn’t know what he is and he may not be gay just because he likes Show-tunes, he may just be awful.  She comes up with one sure person who can tell him who he is. Her.  She hasn’t quite made up her mind about him yet.  As he tries to continue the conversation about his Glee assignment she stops him and  leaves.

Later at Kurt’s house… Kurt’s dad comes down to the basement to see him and he’s dressed just like his father and tell shim he’s just working on his assignment to sing ‘Pink houses” by John Mellencamp.  His dad is kind of shocked.  When he finds out that Kurt thinks the song is about interior design, he explains that it’s really about how the 80′s was a tough time for people and that the American dream is not always what it’s cracked up to be.  Kurt suggests that they go grab a couple of burgers and talk more about it.  He leaves to go get his coat.

At the doctor’s office… Rachel is in the chair freaking out as she talks to Finn.  Just as Finn tells her that he’s not going to say that she’ll never sing again, the doctor walks in and tells her that she’ll never sing again.  It’s just a joke, and explains that it’s a case of severe tonsillitis that resulted in an inner ear infection.  She thinks that instead of him butchering her throat, rest and herbal tea will have the same effect.  He ensures that this is a very serious infection and gives her a prescription for antibiotics.  When she asks Finn what to do, he says that maybe she should as her boyfriend but oh wait, she can’t because he isn’t there.  He’s on spring break with his friends from Vocal Adrenaline.  Finn then asks her when will she realize that he’s not into her the way that he is?  She thinks that he’s jealous and that she still cares about Jesse deeply and knows that he feels the same about her.  As she goes behind the curtain to change out of the hospital gown, Finn starts to sing ‘Jessie’s Girl‘ by Rick Springfield.  This transitions into his performance for the Glee Assignment in the choir room.  After the performance, Mr. Scheuster is congratulating Finn and saying that he should be an inspiration to the others.

In The Choir room… After Finn’s performance Puck decides to go next.  For his performance he is accompanied by the black kids in the jazz band.  He goes on to say that since he’s shaved his Mohawk he’s seen things differently.  He recently joined a black church and downloaded every song by Sammy Davis Jr on iTunes.  He then goes on to perform Sammy Davis Jr’s ‘Lady is a Tramp‘.  This turns into a duet as Mercedes feels it and joins in.  After the song everyone is cheering except Santanna as she sits scowling and looking pissed off at Puck.

Later in the Hall… Everyone seems to be staring and admiring Mercedes as she walks.  When she turns the corner she sees Quinn at her locker and approaches her.  She tells Quinn that she’s not normally into guys like Puck especially since he’s the father of Quinn’s baby but something just came over her.  Quinn surprisingly tells her to go for it.  She realizes that she made a mistake by getting pregnant from him and that he’s an idiot.  At least if they start dating then she won’t have to deal with him and his insane theories anymore.  Like how Mario Bros. changed civilization.  She tells him that he is using her to regain his popularity.  She just doesn’t want Mercedes to get hurt.  Mercedes realizes what the situation is and has protected her heart.  While that’s all fine and dandy, Quinn isn’t worried about that, she is worried about her emotional state.  She’s more worried about her physical state and what Santanna is going to do to her.

In the choir room… As they start the next round of solos, Kurt goes first.  He walks in dressed in a plaid shirt, jeans and a hat like how his father would dress and begins to sing ‘Pink Houses‘ by John Mellencamp to a confused crowd.  After the performance, he asks Mr. Scheuster if anything is wrong.  Mr. Scheuster explains to him that the assignment was to define who they really are not who they think people want them to be.  He then tells him not to be someone he’s not just to please someone else.  As he’s leaving, the dumb Cheerio approaches him and says that she’s slept with every guy at school except him because she thought he was gay and that he should let her know when he’s ready to ‘tap’ that.

Later in the hall… Rachel is walking down the hall eating a bowl of cereal in a daze.  Finn sees her and asks if she’s sleep walking.  She says that she has been on the antibiotics for three days and hasn’t had any improvements which means she has to have the surgery and her life is over.  He tells her that he’s sick of her always feeling sorry for her self.  She feels that her voice is all she has without it she’s nothing. He then comes up with an idea for her to meet an old friend of his.

Later that night… Kurt and the cheerio Brittney are making out and he asks her what a boy’s lips taste like.  She says usually dip, burgers or her armpits.  for some reason kissing her armpits is a big turn-on for her.  As they go back to kissing, Kurt’s father comes downstairs.  He left a note on the door stating “do not disturb under any circumstances because I am downstairs making out with a girl”.  He then asks his father to respect his privacy because he and Brittney are going to have sex.  His father pulls him to the side and says that it has taken him months to come to realize and accept that he’s gay and now he’s not?  He’s a bit confused, telling Kurt that it’s okay for him to be whatever he wants to be, he’ll support him either way. then he leaves the two alone and goes back upstairs.

The next day at school… Puck is going on and on about how great Super Mario 3 is to Mercedes as she gets things out of her locker.  She tells him that she agreed to date him because they have musical chemistry but he needs to start trying to figure out things about her and stop constantly talking this video game nonsense.  She begins to tell him that she would like for him to get her a frozen coffee drink. As he walks away to get it, he notices that a nerd scared of him so he grabs him and slams him into a locker asking him what is going on.   The nerd then fearfully says that whatever he did, he’s sorry and gives Puck his lunch money. Puck tells him to put it away and asked why he didn’t look at him when he first walked by.  The nerd then goes on the tell him that now that he’s dating Mercedes his cool meter is off the charts and he’s back to normal.  Mercedes sees how he looks at Santanna as she walks down the hall.

Mercedes calls Santanna, who is standing right next to her by the way, as they do their own rendition of ‘The Boy is Mine‘ by Brandy and Monica.  This transitions between different scenes in the hall, classes, and the choir room.  By the end of the performace the two girls are about ready to throw down! Mr. Scheuster has to break them up.

After school… Mercedes sees Puck and his friends dumping some kids into the trash.  She tells him that no man of hers is going to be doing things like this.  He explains to her that this is the order of things and that she needs to accept them for the way they are because now they are a part of the system at the top of the heap.

Later in the afternoon… Finn and Rachel arrive to see the person Finn wanted her to see.  He’s a guy that Finn met at football camp named Sean.  Rachel seems confused about what is going on so Sean explains his situation.  it’s the third game of the season and he is paralyzed from the upper chest down by a tackle.  He then asks about her voice.   He then goes on to tell of how he tried to kill himself by driving his wheelchair into the swimming pool only to be saved by his mother.  He goes on to tel her that he’s miserable but that he has other stuff going on, and he’s good at more than one thing.  His mother interrupts because it’s time for his physical therapy.  Rachel thanks him before leaving and realizes that even if she does lose her voice, it’s not the end of the world and that she can do other things.

The next day at school… Puck asks Mercedes why she isn’t wearing her Cheerios uniform.  She quit because it’s not who she is.  She wasn’t being true to who she is.  She feels that he isn’t being true to himself either when he picks on the dweebs at the school.

Also walking the halls… Kurt and Brittney are walking through holding hands to the shock of all the other students.  His father is back at school to pick up Finn to take him for some hoagies and motocross.  When asked why he wasn’t invited his dad says that Finn is going through some things but they hang out as much as he wants just not tonight.  Kurt then breaks into his version of ‘Rose’s Turn‘ By Bette Midler from the play ‘Gypsy’ as he walks down the hall transitioning into him performing it under a spotlight on the auditorium stage.  As he ends his performance his father is there clapping for him.  He tells him that he decided not to go with Finn so that he could hang out with him.  They have a touching moment as he tells him that he will love Kurt no matter what.

Later that evening… Rachel goes back to see Sean.  She came back to thank him for showing her that just because she can’t sing doesn’t mean that she can’t do something else.  To repay him she will give him voice lessons since he is interested in singing.  Her voice is back because of lots of antibiotics, herbal tea remedies and resting her voice.  She has to eventually get them taken out but for now she is okay.  They begin to sing ‘One‘ by U2 Featuring Mary J Blige. This then transitions from the two singing in his bedroom to the glee club performing this song together in a dress rehearsal in the auditorium for the last number of the night.

Later in the hall…  By now the video has become viral and spread all over.  As Coach Sylvester walks the halls different students make comments or elude to the video.  When one of them does one of the dances she did in the video *the Cabbage Patch* she realizes what has happened.

In Principal Figgins’ Office… Will is sitting with Principal Figgins as Coach Sylvester tells them that the Glee club stole her private property and posted it on the internet, it had already received over 170,000 comments. when Mr. Scheuster tells her that his kids wouldn’t do this she hits them with a “Glist”, a Glee list that rates the members on their hotness on a weekly basis.  Principal Figgins thinks that this is very serious and he doesn’t find out who did it then he will have no choice but to expel the entire Glee Club.

In the Practice Room… Mr. Scheuster shows them the list and sternly asks who did it, informing them that if they don’t tell them Principal Figgins will disband the club.  They first believe that it’s Puck because his girlfriend is at the top of the list and Rachel is at the bottom.    They feel like their bad reputation is actually helping them because people don’t bother them as much.  He gives them their assignment of the week.  Find songs similar to “Ice Ice Baby” by Vanilla Ice * Which sold millions by the way.  You know you had that song on tape or CD and you probably know all the words too!!! I can’t front, I know I had it and know it word for word!!*,  find out how they work and to make them great.  He then performs his version of the song.

In The Teacher’s lounge…  As Coach Sylvester makes her grand entrance into the teacher’s lounge she is greeted by the other teacher and faculty pointing and laughing.  She tries to motivate herself by saying how great she is only to be interrupted by a new teacher.  Brenda Castle, being played by Saturday Night Live Alum Molly Shannon.  She just transferred from a school in Indiana because she is not allowed to teach there because of her drug problem.  she begins to clown Coach Sylvester because of her video.  She then joins the other staff as they continue to laugh at coach Sylvester until she angrily storms out.

Later in the hall… As Artie and Rachel are walking to class she tells him she needs some help from the A/V club.  Since she is at the bottom of the “Glist” she wants to reevaluate her image.  She wants to change her image from a good girl to the Worst.

Later on… Kurt calls a meeting with Artie, Tina, and Mercedes to talk about their reputations.  They decide that since they aren’t even on the list they should do like a normal “C” list celebrity would do and cause a scandal so extreme that they can no longer be ignored.  They decide to stage a disruption in the library.

After School… Sue Sylvester is talking to her sister about being humiliated at school and how horrible she felt.  Her sister reminds her that when they felt bad as kids they would help at the animal shelter, because there is always someone who has it worse than you *Message!!*

In Miss Pillsbury’s Office…  Coach Sylvester decides that she will become Miss Pillsbury’s new therapist.  This is her attempt to give back to someone less fortunate.  She then goes on to point out all her faults as well as tell her that Mr. Scheuster made out with the teacher from Vocal Adrenaline and about April’s Sleepover sessions.  How does she know? She put baby monitors under his couch and bed!  Of course, Miss Pillsbury is crushed.  Before she can even gather herself from this news coach Sylvester stands up  and tells her that she sucks and that she needs to grow a pair.  She does this to help her stand up for herself.  She tells her that she needs to tell Mr. Scheuster how she feels in a public place so that he can’t escape or manipulate her.

In Rachel’s Room… Rachel tells Puck that she wants him to help her with her assignment.  She wants them to act out “Run Joey Run” by David Geddes.  He then asks her if she believes that he made the Glist and goes on to say how he’s tired of people stereotyping him for a few mistakes that he’s made.  As they compare stories, they begin to make out but Rachel stops.  Puck then says that whoever made the list will put her at number 1 for cheating on her boyfriend Jesse *which makes me believe that Puck made the Glist all along* he then lays it on thick when he says that Jesse will never fully understand her because he’s not Jewish.  She stops again so Puck decides to leave but she asks him to stay and work on the project so he agrees.

The next day at School… Coach Sylvester drags Miss Pillsbury to the teacher’s lounge to confront Mr. Scheuster but she isn’t able to go in out of fear of them laughing at her again.  At they stand in the hall Ms. Castle comes out to poke even more fun at Coach Sylvester.  As Emma looks on nervously, they begin to argue back and forth.  After the confrontation, Emma goes in to talk to Will. He is talking to an older faculty member when she interrupts.  He asks her to give him a second.  Emma then loudly says that she will not  give him a second and he will have to reschedule his heavy petting session for a later time! Will is shocked! Seems that the older faculty member was just telling him how her husband had just died and he was consoling her. *oops!!* Emma just keeps going as she suggests that he’s trying to get with this lady “fresh off the rebound” and how “nobody’s safe!!”  He says he wants to talk to her in private but she doesn’t want to and proceeds to put all of their business out there for everyone to hear.  About how she has been seeing a therapist about her OCD so that they can be together only to find out about the different women that he has been messing around with.  She says that she is putting her foot down and will not take it anymore then proceeds to call him a slut over and over and says it’s over.  After this outburst she says she is very sorry to the older lady for her loss and then walks out leaving Will standing there embarrassed and confused.

later on in the Library… They show Kurt, Artie, Tina, Mercedes, and the dumb Cheerio spy dressed in hammer pants as they sneak into the library.  What do they plan to do? Yep, MC Hammer’s “Can’t Touch This” Utter hilarity!!  The idea was kind of dumb though.  the funny thing is that they thought they would get in trouble but the old librarian lady thought is was cute and is going to talk to her pastor about them performing that at Sunday service.

Later at school… Mr. Scheuster is interrogating Finn about who made the list and how to stop a new one from coming out.  Finn is all fidgety and nervous as he tells him that he doesn’t know anything.  He goes one to interrogate each member of the club.  Afterwards, the Hammer crew comes to terms that they can’t shake their reputation and need to come clean about posting the video.  If they get suspended for it then the entire student body will then see them as bad asses.

In Coach Sylvester’s Office… Coach Sylvester is writing in her diary about how her video has just surpassed 3 milion hits and she doesn’t know how much longer she can deal with the humiliation.  She then wonders if this is karma from the way she treated people.  As she pauses to think about it, she gets a phone call.  The person on the other end is Olivia Newton -John!   At first Sue doesn’t believe it,  hangs up on her and continues to write i her diary about how she is going to play nice full time.  The phone rings again.  With a little apprehension, she answers the phone.  It is Olivia Newton – John, once again Sue doesn’t believe her and tells her to sing something.  After singing a piece of “Physical”, Coach Sylvester realizes that it is really her.  She goes on to tell Coach Sylvester that  she saw her video and wanted to know why she made it.  she then tells Coach Sylvester that she botched the original video and thinks that Coach Sylvester can save it.  She plans to be in Ohio the next day for an event and wants to meet up with her.

Later in the hall… Will is walking down the hall and the students are pointing and making different types of gestures at him.  He looks confused as Coach Sylvester walks past him calling him a man-whore.  The new teacher, Ms. Castle, then walks up to him to introduce herself and offers to have sex with him.  Even the principal is praying for him and his situation.  Coach Sylvester walks by him again calling him a slut.

In front of Coach Sylvester’s office… The others are giving Kurt a pep talk right before he goes in to tell that they leaked the video.  He then walks up to Coach Sylvester to tell her that they are the ones who leaked the tape.  He is overwhelmed when instead of berating him she says she can’t thank him enough and walks off.  Later they try and figure out why she didn’t get mad.  As they search for the video they posted they come across another video.  This time it’s the Physical video but redone with Sue Sylvester and Olivia Newton-John doing a duet! *Oh and a lil autotune as well* Check it out here. They are pleasantly surprised and watch the video again and again.

At Practice… Mr. Scheuster tells them that it has been a week and no one has come forward.  If they don’t then it is out of his hands and they will have to deal with Principal Figgins.  No one fesses up so he moves on to the assignments.  Rachel goes first.  She then proceeds to show the video she made with Puck for “Run Joey Run” this is supposed to give her a bad reputation as being promiscuous as it stars Puck, Jesse, as well as Finn.  The thing is, the guys didn’t know that the other was in it.  They are pissed and her plan backfires as the three of them walk out in disgust.  Mr. Scheuster just gives her this ‘what were you thinking’ look.

Later that day… Sue is talking with her sister about the video that she did with Olivia Newton-John.  She tells her that she forgot how good it feels to give back .  She then tells her how she explained to the staff that she doesn’t need their approval anymore *by gloating and boasting on how she is a top 700 recording artist!* She has decided to give her share of the profits to the nursing home that her sister is in. She then reads her sister a story and tells her that she will always love her.

In Miss. Pillsbury’s office.. Will comes in with a large bouquet of flowers and apologizes for his behavior.  She can’t forgive him for what he did and tries to remain strong as he pleads.  She thanks him for the flowers.  as he gets up and leaves her office he sees Quinn coming down the hall from her locker.  Then it all makes sense.  He calls her into the practice room and tells her that he knows that she is behind the glist.  At first she refutes it but then has a break down of sorts.  She goes on to say that she has lost her popularity, body, and might as well throw away her education too.  He realized it was her when he was humiliated and had to walk in her shoes.  She is the one that lost the most so she had the most to gain from the list.  She begins to cry as she explains that she never meant to hurt anyone.  He gives her a pep talk telling her that she is better than that and she will be back on top soon.  When Principal Figgins approaches to see if Will has found the culprit he tells the principal that he has talked to all of his students and no told on anyone.  He then says that since the glists have been stopped then his point has been made and they should just move on.  Prinicpal Figgins agrees.

In the Hall… Jesse approaches Rachel at her locker.  She asks if he was mad at her and he goes on to say how before he transferred he asked around about her reputation. Most people didn’t know her or thought she was weird but they thought she could be trusted.  He can’t seem to get past what she did and thinks that he should have been enough for her. She broke his heart.

the final performance of the show is “Total Eclipse of the Heart” by Bonnie Taylor.  They sing this as they show a montage of Rachel in the practice room singing the lead, Ballet rehearsal with Jesse, as well as additional vocals from Jesse and Finn.  As the song comes to an end, they all leave the practice room in disgust, leaving Rachel standing in the middle of the room alone and heartbroken.

The show opens with Sue Sylvester writing into her diary about her love for Madonna, then she proceeds to coerce the principal into blasting Madonna through the PA system for the entire day.  When he refuses she reminds him of her pictures and once again threatens to blackmail him unless he does this.  He gives in.

In her quest to pay tribute to Madonna, Coach Sylvester gives the cheerios bracelets with W.W.M.D. (What Would Madonna Do) on them and tells them that they need to date young men, think and act like her.

Later on while the girls of Glee are hanging out in the practice room, Rachel asks them about dating.  She poses a hypothetical question about ‘what if she was making out with a guy and he suggests that they ‘do it’ with her,  how does she say no without being awkward about it?  She just wants to be ready when it happens and doesn’t want him to be mad when she’s not ready.  They then begin dishing dirt on their boyfriends or lack thereof.  Mr Schuester overhears the conversation and suggests that they talk to someone about it.  someone like Ms Pillsbury.  *Yeah that was no help. When Rachel went to her before about sex she suggested she talk to her Rabbi*  He decides to talk to her so that next time a girl approaches her about sex then she’ll be prepared.  They decide to work together to come up with a plan to help the girls feel empowered and help her as well.

At Cheerios practice… As the Cheerios run through a rehearsal of “Ray of Light “Mr. Schuester  walks in to talk with Coach Sylvester.  He sees how inspiring the song is and then how degrading Sue is to the excellent performance.  He tells her how much he is impressed with the routine.

Back at Glee practice… After seeing the Cheerios’ performance he tells them that the task for this week is to come up with a Madonna number.  All the girls are ecstatic about it!  The guys? Well not that much…  He feels that the guys are bullying, disrespecting and being misogynistic towards the women.  He tells the guys to put themselves in the girls’ shoes and that Madonna’s music is about equality and such.  While the guys aren’t fully on board the ladies, led by Rachel, decide to win them over by performing “Express yourself“.  Let’s just say the guys weren’t too entertained and seemed rather bored.

The next day… The Cheerio Spies are talking in the hall and realize that the only way they can stay on the Cheerios is to find a younger inferior man.  Santana decides to pick Finn and the only way she can get him to fall for her is to de-virginize *yes I made that word up* him.    She sees him in the hall and asks him out on a date then explains that she is going to take his virginity.  When he says that he wants Rachel, she tells him that Rachel’s still with Jesse St. James.  They make a date to have sex.

In Ms. Pillsbury’s office… She invites Coach Sylvester down to see her because she wants to know why Madonna isn’t playing in her office. Coach Sylvester put it to her squarely, she doesn’t feel that Ms. Pillsbury is Madonna worthy.  Nothing about her exudes the self confidence, power over her body or sexual magnetism that Madonna possesses. Then she walks out like nothing happened.

In the practice room… Finn approaches Rachel about what Santana told him.  Rachel wants them to do a mash-up of Madonna songs to show the guys how cool it is.  Before they sing the mash-up of “Borderline” and “Open Your Heart” he asks her and she lies and says no.  When he says he never thought she’d lie to him she confesses.   She also makes him promise not to tell the guys.

Later on… Kurt and Mercedes are at her locker when Mr Schuester walks up.  The begin talking about how amazing it is to be doing a video for the Madonna assignment.  All is well until Coach Sylvester comes up to pick on Will and complain about the Glee club paying tribute.  She does not want them to do it.  This time while she cracks jokes about Will’s hair he quips back asking her how the Florence Henderson look is going? *Zing* Embarrassed by this, she flies off into a rage pushing any and everyone she can out of her way as she stomps down the hall.  *I think she finally knows how he feels when she picks on him all the time.* Down the hall, Finn decides to take Satana up on the de-virgining.

Mercedes and Kurt feel back about what they witnessed and decide to go to Coach Sylvester’s office to see if she’s okay.  She shares a story with them of how when she was six, the album True Blue came out and so she and her handy capable sister decided to bleach her hair with whatever chemicals they could  find about the house.  Well, of course this damaged her hair *and her brain too if you asked me* forcing her to have to wear it short for the rest of her life.  That is why she picks on Will’s hair so much, because she is jealous.  they decide to help her with her self esteem by including her and the Cheerios in their video tribute to Madonna.

At the Music store… Rachel meets up with Jesse.  He says he feels bad about what happened the other night and tells her that she deserves epic romance and is willing to wait until she is ready to have sex.  Overwhelmed, she tells him that she’s ready.

Back at school… As Will is leaving Emma stops him to let him know that  all this Madonna has her thinking about her own empowerment issues and that she’s ready to do ‘the nasty’ with him tonight.  Oh, and foreplay will begin at 7:30 sharp.  He agrees and they make plans for 7:30.

Mercedes, Kurt and Coach Sylvester, with Artie as the director, make their own version of “Vogue”. * Utter hilarity!!!* You just have to see it to believe me on how funny this is!! Click Here!!

Later that night… They intertwine scenes of Will with Emma, Santana with Finn, and Rachel with Jesse as they each sing “Like a Virgin” before taking the other’s virginity, or at least trying to.

On Monday… Kurt and Mercedes are at his locker talking about how great they did on the video and how they ma have changed Coach Sylvester only for her to walk by her looking the same as usual. Mean and grumpy.  When they ask her what happened she tells them that she grew tired of reinventing herself.  The real reason was that when she went to the principal’s office with her new look to give him a list of kids, *all Glee clubbers*, to be sent to New York with $35 in their pocket *That’s how Madonna started out* he explained to her that she didn’t need to try and look like someone else and that she was an original just like Madonna.  She decided that instead of reinventing herself she’ll just reinvent everyone else starting with Mercedes and Kurt.

In the Practice room… Finn catches up with Rachel to see how things went with her date with Jesse.  She fronts and says that things went fine, but hints that he may not have ‘measured up” to her expectations.  truth is, she couldn’t go through with it because she felt like she would be betraying the others and sleeping with the enemy. She then turns the questions to his date with Santana.  He lies and says he couldn’t go through with it because he’s waiting for the right person( e.g. her).  Actually he did go through with it but didn’t feel anything because he didn’t feel anything for Santana *who’s a bit of a lil hoe if you ask me*.

At Will’s Office…  Emma knocks on the door.  When he asks where she was because he had been trying to call her all weekend she apologizes for not going through with it and having sex with him.  She thanks him for being a gentleman about it, he stops her and tells her that she doesn’t need to apologize and already took the first step by just mentioning that they do anything.  They decide on a no date policy until his divorce is final.  When asked when it would be he tells her that he filed today and while they are waiting he suggests she get help for her problem and suggests a counselor that can meet her at her office.  When Emma walks out, the bomb walks in.  Jesse St. James comes in to talk to him.  He has officially transferred to Mckinley!!!

At Glee practice… Mr. Schuester and Jesse tell the others of what just transpired.  Of course they are totally pissed and feel like it’s a trap and he’s only there to spy.  He makes up this story of how his parents are on winter vacation in Bali so he’ll be staying with his uncle *who just happens to live in Mckinley’s school district*.  When Rachel asks him why he’s doing this he tells her that since she would never be with him completely because he was a rival, now that they are on the same team then nothing is in the way of their love and he cares about her more than winning another national title.

Later at the pep rally…As the Cheerios perform their routine of “Four Minutes” there are two new vocalists in the group, Mercedes and Kurt!!  Mr. Schuester is visibly pissed!!  After the great performance he approaches Coach Sylveste, Mercedes and Kurt about it and thinks they should have at least given him a heads up *kinda like how he does when he almost gives them the solo every week*.

Back at practice… The guys sing “What it feels like for a girl”  They then realize how they have treated the other girls badly and decide to do something to make it up to them.  Artie apologizes to Tina and tells her that he really does care about and like her.  Finn goes to tell Rachel how he really feels only to be stopped when Jesse walks up and says they need to have a sing off after school over Rachel. *dude, seriously? A sing off? WTH?* Finn decides to be the bigger man and instead of battling he welcomes Jesse into the group and offers to teach him the song that the guys will be doing for the assignment.

The show ends with the group doing a performance of “Like A Prayer“

Mr. Schuester is arguing with the principal over whether the Glee club should still remain even though they won sectionals.  The principal believes that it all comes down to the ever out of wack budget, not to mention the Cheerios need the auditorium to practice since it’s starting to get cold out.  I know you’re thinking, the Cheerios don’t have a coach since Coach Sylvester was suspended right? Wrong! She’s baaa-aack!!!!  Apparently that is  the reason for suspensions, to reinstate.  How can this happen after she was suspended for leaking the set list at sectionals? More on that later…

Finn is now playing basketball, and he sucks!!!  I can’t totally blame it on his lack of basketball skills, he is a little depressed.  I mean who can blame him? He’s dating the biggest geek at the school Rachel, his ex girlfriend who at the time was the head of the Chastity club, got pregnant and had him believing the child was his only to find out that the father is really his best friend Puck.  It’s really hard not to understand why he’s a little “off his game”.

Coach Sylvester is back to torturing kids as she cuts off the long pony tail of one of the male students because he confuses her with his “shemale looks” before Will *Mr Schuester* catches up with her in the hall to find out how she got reinstated.  Check this.  She arranged a dinner with her and Principal Figgins and while he was not paying attention she slipped him a mickey and the next thing he remembers is waking up naked next to her in bed.  No, they didn’t do anything but he doesn’t know that and she has pics of them together to blackmail him into reinstating her.  Will decides that since she’s back then they should just bury the hatchet but of course Sue is not having it and will stop at nothing to have him and the Glee club destroyed.

At Glee Club practice, the guys try a new strategy to win regionals, and are tasked this week with coming up with new numbers that involve the word ‘Hello’ in them. He then goes to see Emma *The guidance counselor that he fell in love with last season* in her office and talk about going on a date and starting fresh.

In Sue Sylvester’s office she is berating the two cheerio Spies that she planted in the Glee club to destroy it on their inability to get the job done.  She wants them to target Rachel by trying to go after Finn.  She hopes that this will drive Rachel mad and make her quit. Without Rachel, in her eyes, the Glee club will fall apart.

Later on, Mr. Schuester is talking to Finn about how he can get out of this funk that he’s in.  He wants him to sing a song to help find himself.  He picks “Hello, I Love You“.  This seems to help him gain some confidence as  they show a montage of him going through his school days filled with more confidence and ends with him performing it at Glee practice.  After the song the Cheerio spies come up to him and ask him out on a date, with both of them.

Later in the Cheerio spies set up the date and Rachel asks what they want and begins to question if Finn is being honest.  He then breaks up with her.  He feels he needs to find his “inner rock star” before he can be with anyone else.  of course this devastates her and she calls him a scared little boy that’s afraid of dating her because of his reputation.

At Glee practice Rachel decides to volunteer to go first when asked who is ready to sing.  Looking straight at Finn with her hands angrily positioned on her hip she belts out All American Reject’s “Gives You Hell”  *One of my favorite songs ever if I might add *.  The other members join in to unknowingly help her talk about Finn.  Mr. Schuester gets upset because he doesn’t feel like they are taking this seriously and aren’t focusing. *Case in Point, the assignment was a song with “Hello” in it not just “Hell* they’re going up against clubs that are way more experienced.  After practice, Rachel is at the music store looking through “The very best of  Lionel Richies songbook” at  “Hello” sheet music when she is approached by Jesse St. James *Who is this guy? Well, he’s one of the singers in ‘Vocal Adrenaline’ AKA the best Glee group around 3 years straight* and he offers to give her some tips.  They decide to practice “Hello“ right there in the middle of the store.  After this impromptu performance he asks her out on a date for Friday night.

The two Cheerio spies are discussing who the hottest guys in the school are and they only seem to come up with Puck and Finn but they think Finn isn’t as hot because of his “dwarf” girlfriend.  As they are discussing this the camera pans to Finn sitting at the table right across from them.  They’re discussing him as if he’s not even around when he’s right there.  They decide to make a deal with him by him buying them dinner and then the’ll make out with him.  This will make his rep go higher or at least back to what it was pre Glee.

Will and Emma actually go out on a real date, As they dance he sings “Hello Again” by Neil Diamond softly into her ear.  He feels that this is the perfect song for them as well since it’s about a guy who has known this one girl for a long time but just as friends but decides to call her up and tell her how he feels.  They fall on the couch and begin kissing passionately before Emma stops him because she is nervous.  See she is a virgin and doesn’t want to rush things.  She’s still waiting on the ‘right one’.

The next day at school, Finn apologizes to Rachel for his behavior and wants to be with her and no one else.  Too late because Rachel has moved on to Jesse St. James. Finn tries to explain to her how suspicious it seems that they finally make it to regionals and the male vocalist of the rival group asks her out, but she seems oblivious or too hurt to see this.  He then runs to Mr. Schuester to tell him about it and hopefully so that he can fix the problem.

Back in Sue Sylvester’s office she is debriefing the Cheerio Spies on how the date went and realizes that they may be the two stupidest teens she has ever met in her life because they failed to get Finn away from Rachel.  They then tell her about Rachel and Jesse St. James possibly getting together and Sue is all over it.

Vocal Adrenaline is practicing their number ACDC’s “Highway To Hell“ as Mr. Schuester sneaks into the auditorium to watch.  After the group goes on a break he talks to the leader of the group about Rachel and Jesse’s possible dating.  She denies this, but before you know it they are back at Mr. Schuster’s place making out.  He stops the action before it goes too far.  They start talking about how all they think and talk about is Glee clubs and business.  She feels that he may need to take some time to reevaluate himself.

At the next rehearsal,the club is pissed because they found out that she is dating Jesse and they think/know that it will end up badly for them.  Vocal Adrenaline is an evil group that will do whatever it takes to win.  She seems to not even care because she doesn’t know how many more chances she’ll get at having someone want to be with her.  Real or not, she doesn’t care right about now.  They give her an ultimatum, either break up or she’s out and since they can’t kick her out they’ll threaten to quit then Mr. Schuester will be forced to kick her out.  They really believe that she is replaceable.

The next day, Coach Sylvester invites Rachel to see her. When she gets there she introduces Rachel to the “Mckinley High Old Maids Club”.  A bunch of misfit girls from all walks of life. *Craziness*.  She insists that Rachel go for it with Jesse or become an old maid.

Back at Will’s house, while Emma is meticulously setting the table for date night, Terry walks in.  She has come to pick up the two DVDs that she left when shes a DVD of jazz songs.  When Emma says that it has their song “Hello” by Neil Diamond on it, Terry quickly explains to her that the song was her and Will’s prom song.  Emma refuses to believe it so Terry tells her to ask him or better yet go to the library and look it up in the yearbook.

Rachel goes to see Jesse to ask him if he is playing her or really has feelings for her.  He laughs it off, then introduces himself as the real Jesse, not the lead singer of her rival, that cares about her and really likes her then begins kissing her.  This is all a ploy set up by his instructor but Rachel is too blinded by love to see.

the next day at school, Emma comes up to Will with the yearbook from the year of his Junior prom and he realizes that their song is from that moment.  It was an honest mistake, that he may have somehow subconsciously related his new love for Emma and his old love for Terry.  Emma tells him that he may need some time alone to figure out his own needs and reevaluate himself.  When he’s ready she’ll be right there waiting, but until then they can’t be together.

Rachel catches Finn in the hall and tells him that she broke it off with Jesse, he then tells her that he wants them to be together as a real couple.  She is rendered speechless by this.  Since she lied about breaking up with Jesse, she tells him that she can’t be with him because of the team and chemistry and all.  Finn is hurt and tells her he won’t easily get over her.

This episode ends with the Club  in the auditorium running through a dress rehearsal of “Hello, Goodbye” By the Beatles.

Shout out to my homie Taylor Swift for winning album of the year and selling the 2nd most records of 2009, behind Michael Jackson. I don’t care what anybody says, you deserved that award and it had nothing to do with Kanye.

You know who I don’t like? Beyonce stans! Not the fans but the stans. They feel like everything she does is so original and dope or that she should win every award she’s up for and even some that she’s not. C’mon son!

While I’m not knocking Beyonce, I think she has tremendous drive and is talented but I’m not really into her. I was saying on twitter during her 60 Minutes interview that I thought she was dense and does boring interviews and the stans came out! All they could talk about was that she was successful and had a bunch of money. I never said she wasn’t talented and rich but she does boring interview and it seems like at times she doesn’t grasp easy concepts that 90% of the world gets. That’s all. Hell, Bill Gates is paid and successful but does boring ass interviews! Get over yourselves!

What’s funny to me is people say Taylor Swift is this or she’s that but she is a talented young relatively new singer (only 2 albums in) that is receiving accolades for it. Just because black people that only listen to R & B and rap haven’t heard of her doesn’t mean she isn’t talented! There’s more music out there other than Beyonce and Gucci Mane. Open your minds people!

That.is.all
