Glee
Mercedes sings Whitney Houston's "How Will I Know" in the school hallway and is soon joined by a mournful Rachel, Kurt and Santana. Will watches them, reflecting on the passing of a superstar. The song continues as the students enter the library and sit down at one of the tables ... and suddenly the foursome is on stage, standing under spotlights and singing in harmony. Another spotlight shines on an empty spot on the stage. For Whitney.
Later, Will and Emma sit in a school office. "Don't get me wrong: I love Whitney, too," Will says. "But you'd think after two months they'd let it go." Emma then shares a story about how the death of Princess Di affected her. That moment represented the end of her childhood. "So Whitney is their Diana," Will concludes. Exactly. Later in glee club, Will announces that the group will next honor Whitney -- and he wants them all to think about how their own lives will change in the coming months with the end of senior year. Rachel seems to care little about the psychology behind the lesson and just wants to start immediately rehearsing Whitney's version of the "Star Spangled Banner." 
In the hallway, Kurt approaches Blaine, wondering which Whitney song to sing (as they have all apparently been written for him). Blaine declines the offer to help Kurt rehearse, though. Later, Kurt heads to the music store and meets an admirer named Chandler from another school who is trying out for university drama school. When Kurt announces that he is looking for the perfect Whitney song for his own audition, the admirer insists Kurt sing "One Moment in Time" before asking for his number. Our boy Kurt is mighty flattered.
Back in glee club, another dance number has broken out! This time it's "I Wanna Dance With Somebody." And, sure enough, we are soon inside a music video complete with elaborate choreography and an uber-uptempo beat. It all ends with a shower of glitter. Afterward, Brittney tells Quinn that she loves to dance with Santana the best. Quinn is pretty hurt by the declaration. Later, Joe tries to comfort Quinn and offers to accompany her to physical therapy. "To me, being a Christian isn't about talk," he explains. "It's about actions."
Will then approaches Emma with a gift: he has hired a wedding planner named Mr. Lavender. More news: he wants to move the wedding up to next month. "Is this about S-E-X?" asks Emma. Will says it's about simply loving Emma and wanting to be married ASAP. Kurt then gets a text from Chandler. "It's nothing," says Kurt to Rachel. "It's just fun!" Kurt then admits that his relationship with Blaine is that of an old married couple. The spark is gone.
In glee club, Joe announces that he has been working on a Whitney song with Quinn during physical therapy. So Joe grabs a guitar and sings a duet of "Saving All My Love For You" with Quinn. Intercut with the song are tender scenes from physical therapy. There seems to be quite a spark there. Afterward, the ladies want to know if Quinn is interested in Joe. "Joe and I are just friends," says Quinn, who explains that Joe almost kissed her but pulled away at the last second. "Joe's not into me," Quinn says. "I don't blame him. Who would be?" This makes all the ladies, including Quinn, very sad.
That night, Will and Emma meet Mr. Lavender, who looks more like a linebacker coach than a wedding planner. The planner says he needs more time than a month to work his magic, which doesn't sit well with Will. "We can do this ourselves!" he says. "We are getting married in May just like we agreed." Will hands Mr. Lavender his walking papers. Joe and Sam then have a heart-to-heart about Quinn as well as the possibility of sinning. "You have to decide if you want to get closer to God or closer to her," Sam advises. Later, Blaine discovers that Kurt has been getting sexy (but corny) texts from Chandler. "This is cheating, Kurt!" Blaine says. Declares Kurt: "That's texting!" Kurt then explains that Blaine no longer compliments him. Blaine is incredulous -- he switched schools for Kurt! Blaine feels as if he has been betrayed and, turning his feelings into song, belts out "It's Not Right But It's OK" at glee club.
Rachel approaches Santana. "You knew we blew it, right?" Rachel asks. "We could've been singing together for three years." Santana admits that it was a waste as their most recent duet was awesome. "I think I just realized that I'm going to miss you," says Santana, who is kind of disgusted with herself. That night, Kurt and his dad have a heart-to-heart. Pops says that he is going to miss his son when he leaves for school. "The older you get, you just see: just none of it lasts," says a melancholy Burt. "I'm going to miss you, Kurt." The two embrace. It's a touching moment, so touching that Kurt belts out "I Have Nothing" at glee club. He is obviously singing to a sad Blaine, too.
Emma then offers to counsel Kurt and Blaine. "Brutal honesty is the cornerstone of any relationship," she says. So Blaine explains that Kurt is texting a new guy -- and that Kurt is always talking about how amazing New York is going to be. "It's like you can't even wait to get out of here!" Blaine says. "How is that supposed to make me feel?!" Kurt promises that Blaine won't lose him. They proclaim their love each other and embrace. Later that night, Emma returns home to find Will has bought champagne to celebrate. "I have found the perfect wedding location," says Will. The place? A campground. Emma is less than impressed. Finally, it comes out: Will is worried that the Glee kids will not come back for the wedding if it's in November. "I just don't want them to leave," says a sad Will. "These kids changed my life!" Emma is understanding and assures Will that the kids will never forget their teacher.
Later, Joe helps Quinn rehab -- and it becomes very clear that he is interested in her. "When I'm with you, I don't care what God says about sins of the flesh," says the obviously conflicted Christian. Quinn is flattered. "So what is this? You and me?" Joe asks. Answers Quinn: "I don't know. Something new." The episode ends with Artie and Mercedes singing "Your Love is My Love." Eventually, all the glee clubbers appear to join despite the fact that practice is optional. None want to miss the last classes of their senior year. Will watches from the rafters, smiling.

Rachel sings "I Won't Give Up" by Jason Mraz, and leaves Tibideaux a fourteenth message asking her come see her perform at Nationals. She's convinced she'll win the judges' MVP award this year and thinks if Tibideaux sees this she'll reconsider letting her into NYADA.

Rick ends up getting the better of Puck during the fight. Puck pulls out a knife, but Beiste shows up to break things up. Inside Puck tells her the knife was just a rubber prop. Puck snaps, saying he's worthless. He thinks he's garbage and starts to break down. Beiste comforts him.

Will tells Emma (Jayma Mays) he's worried - New Directions never seem to win. She assures him they're ready.
Downstairs, some of the kids are fighting. The pressure seems to be getting to all of them. Will thinks the passion is a great thing. They don't want to break, since they have the first (and worst) performance slot of Nationals.
Rachel (Lea Michele) sees Jesse (Jonathan Groff) outside Nationals. He knows about her attempts to lure Tibideaux (Whoopi Goldberg) to Nationals. He's under tons of pressure not to lose for a second straight year. Finn (Cory Monteith) walks by. Jesse congratulates him on the wedding and wishes him good luck.
We learn Finn bet the $500 he and Rachel set aside for their honeymoon with the hockey players that New Directions would win.
Finn tells Will they want to win for him. A Teacher of Year award is coming up, but Finn says they don't need to wait on that -- Will is their "Teacher of a Lifetime." Mercedes shows up last minute, seeming fairly healthy. She still wants Quinn and Tina (Jenna Ushkowitz) to join her for the Trouble Tones song.
Before the performances the judges are introduced: Lindsay Lohan, Perez Hilton and an alderman named Martin.
New Directions starts their performance with "Edge of Glory" by Lady Gaga. Backstage, Rachel notices Tibideaux isn't there. She takes the stage and absolutely nails "It's All Coming Back to Me Now" by Céline Dion. Halfway through, Tibideaux arrives and takes a seat. Afterwards, Tibideaux stands and cheers. The kids then sing "Paradise By The Dashboard Light" by Meat Loaf. Tibideaux seems impressed.
Afterwards, Mercedes and Kurt (Chris Colfer) go to see Unique. She tells them the pressure is getting to her and she can't conjure Unique. Mercedes and Kurt assure him he can do it.
Vocal Adrenaline take the stage. They begin with Unique singing "Starships" by Nicki Minaj. Watching in the audience, the New Directions kids look stunned. This transitions into "Pinball Wizard" from Tommy. Afterwards, the Glee kids stand and cheer, but look concerned.
In the judging room, Martin tells the other two he's a show choir junkie. Lohan liked a team called the Scale Blazers from Oregon. Martin really liked the New Directions' energy. Lohan thought New Directions were likeable. Perez thought New Directions were terrible and really loved Vocal Adrenaline and Unique.
Jesse takes Tibideaux aside and tells her Rachel is the most talented person he's ever met. He says she'd make a great addition to NYADA.
To Rachel's dismay, Unique is awarded the MVP award. The top three is then announced: In third place is the Scale Blazers, leaving Vocal Adrenaline and New Directions contending for the top spot. In the end, New Directions is named national champion.
New Directions returns to McKinley to a hero's welcome. With Grouplove's "Tongue Tied" being sung in the background, girls kiss them and a newspaper is flashed showing them on the front page. The hockey players pay off their bet to Finn. Sue gets the check and keeps her job with the Cheerios. The kids party it up with sparkling grape juice. The team places the enormous trophy into the school's trophy case.
Figgins (Iqbal Theba) calls Finn and Rachel to his office. He tells them as co-captains of the team he gives them bumper stickers and pom-poms, and then gives them a wedding gift. He wants New Directions to perform at a special event the following day. They ask what it is and he says "Can you keep a secret?"
Will thanks Emma for the whole year: "It's been incredible." Sue walks in and tells them the awards ceremony is about to start. She tell them her source tells her she's going to win Teacher of the Year.
Figgins has Finn and Rachel announce the winner of Teacher of the Year: Will. They both say kind words about Will before he comes up to accept, then the curtain pulls back. The kids sing "We Are the Champions" by Queen. During the song, they pull Will up onto the stage.

Kurt (Chris Colfer) says he's become a more confident, socially-conscious person since arriving at McKinley, but is worried about being emotional.

The underclassmen thank Finn for his sacrifices to New Directions and sing "In My Life" to him.
Quinn (Dianna Agron) says she doesn't feel emotional, perhaps because she is so proud of her friends. She's worried about Puck, who is trying to pass his test and graduate.
Quinn gives Rachel a rail pass so they can visit each other next year. Rachel says she thinks Puck (Mark Salling) was at his best when he was with her.
Quinn finds Puck and tells him she cares about him and thinks he needs to get his swagger back. She wants him to remember the guy he used to be and kisses him. The kiss seems to change Puck into a more confident guy, ready to attack his test.
Roz tells Sue (Jane Lynch) they have in common a dislike for Principal Figgins.
Sue tells Quinn she admires her for her perseverance. She thinks she'll go far in life. Quinn cries and hugs her.

We see the graduation ceremony. Finn sings "Glory Days" as everybody gets their diploma.
Rachel, Kurt and Finn open their envelopes. Finn did not get in and looks destroyed. Ditto for Kurt, who didn't get in and also looks miserable. Rachel is last. She opens her letter and says "I got in."
The next day Rachel is surprised she's sad despite getting in. Her plan is to defer her acceptance for one year so she doesn't have to go to New York without Finn and Kurt.
Santana's mother gives her a large check. It was the money she was saving to pay for Santana's college. Santana tries to give it back, but her mother thinks she should either go to college or New York. She says the choice is hers.

He tells her he's 100 percent sure she's something special and needs to leave. He tells her he's going to join the Army. He says he loves her so much he wants her to go to New York and be a star. If they're meant to be together, it will happen. Rachel and Finn sing "Roots Before Branches" as she walks to the train. The rest of the kids are there to send her off. We see her arrive in New York as the season ends.

Open with Rachel in Dance 101 class at NYADA. Her instructor, Cassandra July, is a tough one, particularly on Rachel.
Jacob tells us what's been going on at McKinley. The New Directions are now popular, sitting with the Cheerios at lunch. Tina has broken up with Mike. The biggest question seems to be who will be the "next Rachel" between Blaine, Tina, and Brittany.
Rachel meets an attractive junior named Brody who is a junior in the same major. He helps Rachel feel better about being a freshman at NYADA. Brody has played a small role on Broadway and says Cassie's recommendation was what got him the part.

Auditions for New Directions are beginning. Beforehand Will introduces Unique as an official new member. The kids tell him about the competition to be the new Rachel. Unique wants in on the competition.
The four Rachel wannabes perform "Call Me Maybe" for Artie, with the idea being that he will pick a winner and they will tell Will their decision.
Kurt is working at a coffee shop in town. He tells Blaine and Brittany that he's planning on taking part in auditions. Kurt seems a little worried it's pathetic that he's still hanging around.
We see Cassie's former TA tell her that he's leaving for a small Broadway part. He credits her recommendations for landing him the role. We see Cassie make herself an alcoholic drink.
A sophomore named Marley drops by the Glee kids table at lunch and says she's planning on trying out. Sam tells Unique not to wear his make-up during school, worried that it will ruin their recent elevation to cool status. Kitty and two football players begins making fun of an obese lunch woman. Grudgingly Artie participates. Marley sees this from a nearby table.
We learn that the lunch woman is Marley's mother.
Rachel tells Cassie she smells booze on her breath. This leads to Cassie showing everybody she still has it, performing a dance number to Lady Gaga's "Americano."
Auditions begin. Several are terrible, but a kid named Jake takes the stage and is impressive. But he loses his temper when Will tells him he's heard enough, tossing a piece of equipment off the stage.
Tibideaux introduces the freshman to the first of two chances they will have to sing publically during their first year. The second will come during a winter concert, but only based on invitation. The first girl gets up and is quickly stopped by Tibideaux, who cuts her on the spot. Rachel is next. She sings "New York State of Mind," and we are cut back and forth between Rachel and Marley, who is singing the same song for her New Directions audition. Both perform very well.
Marley sees that she's been added to New Directions, the only new member this year. Jake is furious not to see his name on the list.
Marley tells her mother about the kids making fun of her. Apparently at their last school Marley didn't have any friends because her mother was the lunch lady.
Blaine tells Kurt he thinks it's important that he leave for New York. He thinks Kurt is "stuck." Blaine sings Imagine Dragon's "It's Time."
At lunch the next day Marley interrupts the cool kids when they make fun of her mother, admitting their relationship.
Rachel tells Brody about Finn. She's still having trouble fitting in and he gives her some good advice, saying it's just because she's changing. They take a picture together and it seems to help Rachel.
At the next class Rachel promises Cassie she'll keep getting better until she's the best student Cassie's ever had. Cassie's not impressed.
Burt drops Kurt off at the airport, convincing him the best thing for him is to go to New York and struggle for awhile. Kurt is scared, but seems to agree.
The entire Glee club comes to Marley as a group and apologizes for making fun of her mother. Marley and Unique are too much for the cool kids, who drop New Directions back to their old status as losers.
Will brings Jake into his office. It turns out he's Puck's half brother, although Puck has no idea. Will says he think Glee club would do him good like it did Puck, but he needs to lose the chip on his shoulder. Jake says he's not going to change who he is and leaves.
The whole club sings "Chasing Pavements."
Rachel calls Kurt crying, saying she misses him and "everything." He surprises her by being right behind her and suggests she get a new roommate.

Open with Brittany talking about how great things are going in her senior year. Blaine looks over her shoulder and asks "Who are you talking to?" and she replies, "Oh. I thought I was doing a voice-over". This leads to her leading the Cheerios in a performance of "Hold It Against Me." Sue hates it and calls Brittany into her office. She says she can no longer tolerate the impact Brittany's terrible grades are having on the team and kicks her off of Cheerios. Brittany is no longer allowed to wear "the high pony", referring to her ponytail. Making matters worse is that Santana is busy at school and doesn't seem to have time for Britt.
July won't let Rachel even practice the tango, saying she doesn't have enough sex appeal.
Will and Emma tell Brittany they're worried about her seeming depressed and want her to meet with Emma regularly. Brittany passes. As she leaves the office she continues her voice-over.
In an effort to help Brittany, Will has Glee perform another week of Britney Spears songs: It's Britney 2.0. Up first is Blaine and Artie singing "Boyfriend."
Kurt and Rachel find a large, empty loft to rent for their housing. Over wine Kurt tells Rachel he's going to try and get a job at vogue.com. She tells him about July, and Kurt tells Rachel that "Crazy July" is infamous for blowing up during a Broadway performance when someone's cell phone went off. Kurt thinks she should stand up to July.
Marley tells Unique she's interested in Jake. Unique thinks he's bad new, leading to a performance of "Womanizer." Even after that, Marley tells Jake she's interested in hanging out.
Rachel asks Brody if he'll dance with her in July's class. He agrees.
Sam, Tina and Joe sing "Three." Brittany gets up and walks to the wall, where she plugs in her electric razor. She then proceeds to try to shave her head, ala Britney Spears. After Mr. Shue stops her, she is on the way to her locker and Jacob ben Israel rushes her with a microphone asking her all kinds of invasive questions. Brittany takes another page from Britney's book and attacks him with an umbrella as another student takes pictures.
Will confronts Jake about cutting classes. He apologizes for not taking Jake on in the first place and tells him how much Glee changed Puck. Jake insists that he doesn't need or want to change.
Jake and Marley perform a slow, accoustic version of "You Drive Me Crazy" in the bleachers. Afterwards they nearly kiss.
Brittany continues to act in a disturbing fashion, now talking only to her cell phone. The rest of the New Directions say they want to help her by having her be the lead performer at an upcoming assembly. She says she'll only do it if she can pre-record her vocals and lip sync. They reluctantly agree, with the understanding that Mr. Shue can not know.
Dressed in a sexy little black dress, Rachel performs "Oops I Did it Again" in July's class with help from Brody. July still isn't impressed, telling Rachel that she'll never get the sexy parts, just parts like Maria in Sound of Music and Shrek in Shrek. Brody tries to stop her, but Rachel charges that July is jealous of her and the rest of the students for their talent and for the fact that their careers are still ahead of them while the teacher's is over. She calls July a "You Tube joke". July tells Rachel that she is "done" and kicks her out of class. Brody speaks up for Rachel, but seemingly to no end.
Jake comes to the defense of Marley's mother after several jocks make fun of her at lunch. Will jumps in and brings him to meet Puck. Puck says he never truly became a man until he was in New Directions. He has to return to L.A., but tells Jake that he'll always be his brother.
The assembly goes terribly. Brittany is lethargic and eventually it becomes clear she was lip-synching. The kids are booing, the Glee club is humiliated and Will is furious, pointing out that this put them in jeopardy of being removed from future competitions.
July tells Rachel she's hard on the kids because of how hard the real world can be. Reluctantly she tells Rachel that she's still in, though she'll be on probation. She also makes her hand wash dance clothing.
Sam tells Brittany he knows what she was doing. She was intentionally hitting rock-bottom in order to be just like Britney Spears. Brittany goes to Sue and says she wants back in the Cheerios. Sue will do it, but she has to turn around her grades. Will and Emma are tutoring her.
Brody drops by Rachel and Kurt's place with flowers. He makes a move on her, but she says she can't do anything.
Marley is crushed to learn Jake and Kitty are dating.
Jake is introduced as the newest member of New Directions. This leads to Marley singing "Everytime."
Britney walks down the hall in her cheer uniform and high pony tail.
Rachel paints over the large "FINN" that she had put on her wall, surrounded by a heart.

Will is having trouble coming up with ideas. Brittany and Blaine begin to argue over the race.
Sue tells Will his problem is the teaching profession finally beating him down.
Sam is a little bit upset Brittany didn't asks him to be her running mate. She says it's because she didn't want to ruin their friendship. She connects him with Blaine, who accepts him as his No. 2, and then challenges them to a debate.
After a staff meeting Wright asks Kurt what he thought about her team's ideas. She's having trouble being a manager since she can't say no to anybody. She starts panicking.
Artie is concerned Brittany needs help with her verbal preparation. Blaine also works on Sam's appearance and debate prep. This leads to Brittany and Sam singing "Celebrity Skin" by Hole.
At the show choir committee meeting there is discussion of funding. Will says he'll try to get on a government committee.
After classmates make fun of Rachel's clothes, Kurt says he's going to change her life. Late at night he brings her to the Vogue.com offices. Wright surprises them and Kurt tells her his plan was to do a makeover for the website. She loves the idea and helps him. This leads to a mashup of Tony Bennett's "The Way You Look Tonight" and "You're Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile" from Annie.
Kurt shows it to Blaine, who thinks the video looked great. Kurt seems not to be concerned with what's going on with Blaine.
Will talks to Emma about the panel. He filled out the application but hasn't yet applied. If he's selected he'd be away from school and the kids for months. She thinks he should chase his dream in the same way he's told the kids to.
Artie's first answer at the debate goes on and on and is highly detailed. Sam is asked if he's ashamed of being a stripper, and starts taking off his clothes. Blaine says he's offering change. Brittany says "I love you" to the school, then promises to try and have school year-round, including weekends.
Wright tells Kurt she forwarded her video to her superior and it went over well. They're going to re-shoot the concept, but he's getting credit for the idea. She suggests his future may be in design rather than Broadway, and invites Kurt to lunch.
Rachel and Brody talk about their transitions to being cooler. They sing Sheryl Crow's "A Change Would Do You Good" together. Afterwards they very nearly kiss and Rachel tells him she wants to cook him dinner the following night.
Blaine and Sam win the election. Busy with Wright, Kurt ignores Blaine's call. Blaine tells Sam he feels alone without Kurt. He did everything for Kurt and, with him gone, none of it matters. Sam tells Brittany he voted for her. They seem to be getting closer.
Will mails in his application.
Rachel and Brody have pizza together. They exchange secrets, and drink. Finn's name is mentioned and he says he's "hand's off, just friends." Even then, they kiss but get interrupted by a knock at the door. It's Finn, who's there to surprise her. He looks at her, sees Brody, and Rachel's face falls.

Open in the cafeteria. Jake and Marley talk about being poor. Blaine and Brittany watch them and contemplate young love, with Blaine looking a little sad.
The next morning, Rachel tells Kurt the night before she and Finn didn't even speak to one another. Finn tells her that two weeks in, he shot himself in the leg with his own gun (which he named Rachel) while cleaning it. She thinks he should use the opportunity to spend a year in New York with her and check out NYADA.
Santana is home from college and we see her and Brittany spend time together doing some laundry. Brittany is reading a book for an after-school club she's involved with.
Kurt and Blaine are having difficulty staying connected. Blaine is supposed to visit in two weeks.
Finn is impressed with how at-home Rachel seems in NYADA and he is pretty certain it isn't the place for him. He's not sure about their future. Blaine and Finn sing "Barely Breathing" and we see their relationships may be coming to an end. Blaine even asks a boy he met on Facebook named Eli if he he'd like to hang out.
Kurt and Rachel want Finn to come with them to a karaoke bar. Blaine shows up unexpectedly.
They run into Brody at the bar. He wants Finn and Rachel to sing a song together, but Finn suggests that since they're student they should perform the duet. Rachel and Brody sing "Give Your Heart a Break" while Finn watches intently. Blaine then gets by the piano and performs "Teenage Dream." Kurt looks concerned during what is an emotional performance as Blaine's crying as the performance continues.
After the bar, Finn tells Rachel New York is too big for him. Kurt asks Blaine what's wrong, and Blaine says he was with someone. At the same time, Rachel admits to kissing Brody. Blaine says that when he needed Kurt he wasn't there. Kurt is crushed. All four sing "Don't Speak."
The next morning it seems like both relationships are over. Finn wakes early and is about to take off, but Kurt finds him, hoping that it would be Blaine. The stepbrothers hug and Finn leaves.
Kitty is running the group Brittany is involved with, the Rapture-based Left Behind club. To prove a point about how it feels they trick Tina's assistant Dottie into thinking she's been left behind. She's devastated. Brittany tells Santana that was what Santana did to her.
Finn stops by McKinley to see Will. He gives Will a hug and starts weeping. Blaine tells Finn that Kurt is refusing to talk to him. Will is letting Finn hang out as he thinking things over. They're trying to select the fall musical. Finn tosses out Grease and everybody likes the idea.
Will has been selected for the Blue Ribbon panel and he asks Emma to come with him to DC for a few months. She doesn't seem keen on leaving her job for such an extended period and this turns into an argument.

Tina is still stuttering, Becky is a pregnant slut, Kurt is a whipping boy and Puck and Finn are jerks. Will is an alcoholic who never started Glee and is still married. Rachel is a librarian.

She likes his screenplay and thinks he might have a future in the field. She invites him to go to her car. Blaine and Sam go to Finn with the theory the Warblers are using HGH. If they turn out to be correct, it would retroactively disqualify the Warblers.

He tells them Hunter has been forcing members of the Warblers to inject testosterone. They ask him to testify against the Warblers.

Finn likes it and puts her in charge. Marley appears on Brittany's web show Fondue For Two. Brittany asks her if she's in love with Jake and thinks she should tell him how she feels. Brittany has received a near perfect score on her college entrance exam, seemingly by accident. By contrast Sam received just about the worst score possible.

Blaine assures him that everybody will still love him even if he puts on a few pounds. Finn tells Sue he's found her Penthouse issue. She says she isn't ashamed of what she did. It turns out Finn didn't find the magazine, but taped Sue confessing to posing. "Check mate," Finn says. Blaine brings Sam to see Emma. She shows him a number of college options that don't depend on admission scores. During filming Rachel balks when it comes time to drop her robe. She asks for the rest of the crew to take of their shirts. They do, but Rachel tells the director she isn't ready. This transitions to Rachel singing "Love Song" with Quinn and Santana.

During the interview, Kitty tells Brittany her guilty pleasure is too horrible to admit and whispers it in her ear. We learn Kurt's most secret guilty pressure is his "boyfriend arm," a pillow/fake arm that makes it seem as if you're sleeping with an arm around your shoulder. In the locker room, Sam and Blaine talk and Sam refuses to reveal his true guilty pleasure, but Blaine keeps pressing until Sam blurts out that his secret is he likes Barry Manilow.

Brittany's interview at MIT results in two contrasting revelations: while the staff determines that from her test scores Brittany appears to have little to no academic ability, the numbers she's doodled on the back of her notepad to get them out of her head appear to be of great scientific significance when viewed in various sequences. Believing that she might be a singular, Einstein-level intellect in some respect, MIT plans a unique proposition for her. Will reveals that the Regionals competition will now be held in the McKinley High auditorium, and reminds New Directions that they need to bring everything they've got to the stage; "All or Nothing." Ryder is preoccupied wondering about the still-mysterious identity of his "catfish," Katie. Meanwhile, performing Celine Dion's "To Love You More", Rachel does her callback for the role of Fanny Brice in Funny Girl. She pours everything into her performance, ending with tears running down her cheeks, but the reaction of the casting team is unreadable. Sam urges Blaine to reconsider his plan to ask Kurt to marry him, but Blaine is determined: not only is he going to go through with it, he wants Sam to be his best man. As Joe and Sugar return to the glee club, Will runs down the set list, but Brittany insists on changing everything to showcase her, unleashing a ridiculous set of demands based on her new confidence in her "megawatt star power." When her friends are stunned by her behavior - including Sam, whom she dumps via text message - she says she's just embracing Will's "All or Nothing" mentality. Brittany dramatically quits the Cheerios, burning her uniform in front of Coach Roz and posting a manifesto filled with reasons why she can't be on the squad anymore. Ryder demands that "Katie" reveals herself or he won't participate in Regionals. Finally, Marley admits that it was her, despite her previous insistence that she wasn't responsible, and Ryder's shock is compounded when Jake defends her. Tina helps Blaine shop for a wedding ring, and he's aided by Jan (Patty Duke), a compassionate jewelry store employee who's proud that the LGBT community is on the brink of marriage equality. Sam shows up to support Blaine, and Jan offers to help Blaine navigate his plan so he can "see what's possible when two people really love each other." When Sue and Will confront Brittany about her demanding behavior, she insists she'll only discuss things on her own terms - on her Internet chat show "Fondue for Two." Among Brittany's revelations, she's determined that singer Michael Bolton is the father of Sue's daughter, Robin. Meanwhile, a concerned Sam asks for help from Santana, the only person he thinks can get through to Brittany and learn what's really happening. Blaine and Kurt have dinner at BreadstiX with Jan and her partner Liz (Meredith Baxter), who recount how different it was for them growing up as lesbians during their formative years - but somehow they made it work. Blaine's taken aback when Kurt casually points out that he and Blaine aren't a couple, but the evening takes a happier turn when Jan asks Liz to marry her. Marley tries to apologize to Ryder and bring him back to the glee club. He demands an explanation as to why she's strung him along all this time, but the answer is even more shocking: Unique reveals herself as the real Katie. After she was drawn in too deep in her anonymous online flirtation with Ryder, Unique revealed her secret to Marley. She says never felt so close to someone without her exterior getting in the way. She apologizes, hoping they won't lose what they have, but Ryder tells her they don't have anything and that he'll never speak to her again. Meanwhile, back on "Fondue for Two," Santana confronts Brittany about her behaviour and Brittany says that she has to tell her something really important. As Regionals kick off, The Waffletoots start the competition by singing Paul Williams and Kenneth Ascher's "Rainbow Connection". Back in the choir room, Ryder has decided to perform with the New Directions, seeing as he is only angry with Unique and doesn't want to punish the rest of the glee club, but tells them that he'll be leaving the New Directions after Regionals. The Hoosierdaddies and their lead singer Frida Romero ( American Idol season 11 finalist Jessica Sanchez) power through their dynamic set of Zedd's "Clarity" and Little Mix's "Wings", but Sam is pleasantly distracted by the surprise arrival of Brittany. During their show circle, Brittany reveals that MIT offered her early admission and wants her to leave immediately, causing her to have a meltdown. Having been told she was stupid her entire life, she feels that when glee club helped her believe she might be smart after all, the whole world started to believe it, too. Paying a tearful tribute to her friends, especially Sam and Santana, she says that they're like family to her and that she's really gonna miss all of them, before heading into her final performance. New Directions launch their performance with "Hall of Fame" by The Script and will.i.am, followed by Icona Pop's "I Love It", and culminating with Marley's original song "All or Nothing". The judges' scores come in, and once again New Directions takes first place at Regionals, while the Hoosierdaddies make second place. Back in the choir room, Emma makes an unexpected appearance with a priest in tow; she and Will are throwing a surprise wedding. The New Directions, Mercedes, Kurt, Santana and Mike hum the wedding march as Emma walks down the aisle and ties the knot with Will amid cheers. The camera zooms out on Blaine, who clutches his own ring box and plans to pop the question to Kurt.

Open with Rachel having a very brief Funny Girl audition. Afterwards the director and lead actor discuss being concerned Rachel is too green for such a big role. She sadly sings Yesterday while leaving the theater and walking around the city. Will announces this will be the first of a two-week Beatles assignment. They will start with the early years. He wants them to perform the classic songs in creative new ways. Artie and Kitty appear to have something of a flirtation going. They sing Drive My Car with some of the other Glee kids during a date at the carnival. At the carnival some of the other Cheerios asks if they're dating. Kitty says they're just friends. After they leave she asks if they have a relationship on the down-low because she needs her social status "to survive." Santana gets Rachel a job waiting tables on Broadway at a diner where servers occasionally sing. Blaine and Kurt talk about the possibility of getting back together. Blaine promises never to cheat on him again. Kurt seems up for it. They break into a performance of Got To Get You In My Life with band accompaniment. Sue is back at McKinley as the new principal. She got there by filling Figgins' office with things like porno magazines and a copy of Mein Kampf. She's asked by the district to take over for a trial period of a few months. Figgins is now a custodian. Artie and Kitty sing You've Got To Hide Your Love Away while we see they are publically pretending not to be an item while secretly passing notes and meeting in empty classrooms. Artie seems torn by the situation. Blaine announces to New Directions that he and Kurt are back together and he is going to ask Kurt to marry him. He wants their help with the proposal. He also wants to include The Warblers, Vocal Adrenaline and the school for the deaf, since Blaine wants this to be a cultural statement. This leads to a performance of Help as New Directions goes from school to school. It seems to work. Tina asks Artie if he and Kitty are an item. When he tells her what's going on she's thinks he needs to have more respect for himself. He tells her to butt out. The Funny Girl decision-makers have a meal at her restaurant. She waits on them and asks for an update. They aren't sure if she's a star "just yet." She decides to prove it to them by singing A Hard Day's Night. Will and Roz wait for a meeting with Sue, both worried their clubs will be under attack. But Sue thinks that having successful teams will help her take over principal permanently. Essentially she'll let Cheerios and New Directions stay if they win national championships. At the next New Directions meeting Tina outs Artie and Kitty's arrangement. Kitty says she wanted to be sure she really liked Arie before risking both her heart and social standing. Kitty says she now wants them to be public. Everybody besides Tina seems happy. Blaine meets with Sam, Jake and Ryder to discuss how nasty Tina has become. He thinks she's falling apart and they need to step in to help her. Figgins promises Sue she's won't get away with what she's doing. She responds by dumping a bucket of rancid meant on the floor he was cleaning. Blaine, Sam, Jake and Ryder sing When I Saw Her Standing There in full Beatles costume. Afterwards they offer their services as potential prom dates. She picks Sam because he's the "least gay and least Asian." Burt brings Kurt to the surprise proposal his son is very much aware is coming. Kurt tells his father he's worried that the two of them are still so young. Burt talks about the origins of his relationship with Kurt's mother. He tells Kurt he gave Blaine his opinion on the subject, but won't tell Kurt what he said. Kurt is greeted with Blaine signing All You Need Is Love with "He" Loves You, backed-up by New Directions and the other choirs. Rachel is also on hand to help. Kurt seems impressed. He proposes to Kurt on the spot where they first met. Blaine drops to his knee and asks Kurt to marry him. An emotional Kurt says yes and everybody cheers.

Open with Sam and Blaine talking about prom. Sam isn't thrilled with having to go with Tina, who is just a friend, but is honoring his promise. He thinks about unlucky he's been in love. This week will be the Beatles' experimental period. Blaine, Artie, Kitty and Tina are announced as candiates for king and queen. As soon as Tina hears the news she drops Sam as her date, saying the best way for her to maximize vote is to go by herself. Tina starts to sing "Revolution" and everybody leaves the room. Having not heard anything for awhile Rachel tells Santana she's certain she didn't get the part in Funny Girl. Santana has landed a role in a commercial for an anti-fungal product, Yeast-I-Stat. Bree makes it clear to Kitty that it's not okay for her to campaign for a non-Cheerios prom queen candidate. She needs to run aggressively so the Cheerios can have a winner. Sam talks to Will about how there are no songs for what happened to him with Tina. Sue arrives and tells them she's instituting mandatory vaccinations, starting with polio. Sam is afraid of needles, but Sue isn't cutting him any slack. He can't go to prom unless he gets a shot. Kurt tries to comfort Rachel, who he thinks she has lost her mojo. The two of them sing "Get Back." Sam goes to Nurse Penny, who is a college sophomore working at the school to help eventually get into nursing school. She seems fairly incompetent and Sam leaves. The halls are covered with Kitty For Queen posters. None of the New Directions kids believe Kitty when she says she had nothing to do with it. Santana has a budding attraction with Dani, one of the other servers. Santana tells Rachel she's never been with an actual lesbian and is nervous. Blaine and Artie notice that Sam has been intentionally hurting himself to visit Penny in the nurse's office. He's worried his personality isn't good enough to "get the girl," but the guys tell him to go for it. He sings "Something." Penny tells Sam that Sue has fired her for mixing up a few vials. He lets her give him his shot in the buttocks. Sam rushes to Sue's office and begs for Penny's job. Sue says Penny can stay Bree offers Tina's personal assistant Dottie a spot on the Cheerios if she'll help them. Santana and Dani hang out together as the diner closes for the night. They sing "Here Come The Sun" together and spend the evening together. Dani gives her a kiss good-bye before going home. Prom opens with some of the guys performing "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band." Penny knows that Sam is the reason she was un-fired by Sue. Sam asks her to dance. Bree has Dottie set up a bucket of slushie on the ceiling that will be dumped on Tina. Sue announced Tina has won queen. She is crowned and couldn't be happier. Bree nods to Dottie, who starts to pull the rope. Kitty sees what is happening but is too late to stop it. Tina is covered with red slushie and the crowd gasps, then laughs. Back in the choir room Tina is crying and furious. She starts to head home but Blaine stops her. He thinks the should clean her up and she should return to "own that prom." Several of the girls offer her their dress. Blaine sings "Hey Jude" as they clean her up. She returns to the dance wearing Kitty's dress. She re-takes the stage and the crowd cheers. Roz brings Bree to Sue, telling her she needs to be punished. Instead Sue promotes her to captain of the Cheerios and tells her to keep up the good work. Sue wants Bree to go after the Glee clug "with all you've got." Kurt gets a job at the diner with Rachel and Santana. The director comes to the diner to tell Rachel she got the part of Fanny. This leads to a performance of "Let it Be" by several cast members.

The episode opens with virtually every member of the cast, dressed in black and singing "Season of Love" from Rent. towards the end of the song they turn together to look at the back of the theater and stare at a portrait of Finn. The next scene opens three weeks after Finn's funeral. Kurt is preparing to return to Lima for a memorial organized by Will. Kurt is clearly struggling with the loss of his step-brother. Sue is making jokes about Finn in front of Emma and Coach Beiste in the teacher's lounge. She says it's the only way she knows how to grieve. Emma talks about how the students need to deal with their feelings. Sue thinks the only way to honor him is to move on. Will tells New Directions, and the alums who have returned, that this week they will memorialize Finn by singing about him. Any song, any day. Puck is having issues with the situation, pointing out that singing won't bring him back. But Mercedes steps to the front, saying she has to or she won't ever stop crying and sings "I'll Stand By You," which Finn had sung to (what he thought was) his baby's sonogram (before he discovered that Quinn was not carrying his child). Sue sits with Kurt whom she addresses as "Porcelain". She says the tree he planted on the school grounds at Finn's memorial has been removed by a vandal and will have to be replaced. Kurt doesn't understand why someone would do that and forks over another $20 to Sue. We eventually see that it was Puck who stole the tree. Next we see Kurt at the family home. He is there to help Burt and Carole clean out Finn's room. They talk about his history of acceptance and tolerance. Which belongings to keep. Kurt asks to keep Finn's varsity jacket. And Burt says he regrets not hugging Finn more often, especially the last time he saw him. Later, at the school, the kids are painting a memorial of sorts on the old dumpster where the "Jocks" used to dump the Glee kids before the school became more tolerant. Kurt is thinking about how that changed because of Finn. Puck says he wants Finn's varsity jacket but Kurt won't give it to him. Puck clearly isn't handing his grief well. Artie is sitting with the group and sings "Fire and Rain" with help from Sam. Santana leaves the room quickly after the song ends. Santana goes to Finn's old locker, which has become a shrine. The "new" Cheerios come to blow out the candles, on the orders of Sue and Santana is furious. Figgins is standing there, now just a janitor, and though he is sad, he says he can't stop them. Santana then marches into Sue's office and calls her a "cold, self-centered bitch". She goes on to tell Sue what a horrible person she is and says Finn hated her as well. Santana eventually pushes Sue into a piece of furniture. Tina goes to see Emma, mostly concerned about how much black she's wearing after she worked so hard to end her goth-phase. Emma hands her brochures about being callous and "it's not all about me". Will comes in, he's her next scheduled appointment. Emma points out to Will that he hasn't cried once, not even at the funeral. He responds that he's focused on making sure everybody around him is being taken care of. Emma tells him that eventually he's going to have to deal with his feelings, but assures him she'll be there when he is ready.. A drunken Puck wanders into the locker room and gets into an argument with Coach Beiste. Puck thinks if he starts dealing with his feelings "I'll never stop." She sits him down and he begins to cry. Puck thinks he won't be able to be a good person without Finn around to tell him how to do it. She tells him he'll have to find the direction on his own now and assures him he can. Puck suggests retiring Finn's number and framing his letterman's jacket to hang in the locker room. He wants to be sure Finn isn't ever forgotten. She wants him to put the tree back. Santana, imagining that Finn is in heaven with Elvis, gets up an sings "If I Die Young" in front of the group. She breaks down near the end of the song and runs away, especially when the others attempt to comfort her. Kurt finds Santana in the auditorium, sitting all alone on the stage. She is upset that she wasn't able to follow her plans. She wanted to return to Lima and say nice things about Finn, she had even written it all down. Kurt asks her to share it with him. She reads things from her list to him and begins to cry and asks him to leave. He stops just long enough to take off the varsity jacket, and drapes it over her sobbing shoulders. Puck is in the rehearsal room and sings "No Surrender." Afterwards Santana comes in the room and accuses Puck of stealing Finn's jacket. Puck says it wasn't his, but nobody believes him. She is furious. Will asks everyone to calm down. Santana returns to Sue's office, only this time she is there to apologize. Sue sits with her and opens up, saying she's "destroyed" by the fact that Finn died thinking she didn't like him. She always imagined he would be a wonderful teacher. She thought she would teach another 30 years with him at the school. Rachel makes a surprise appearance. She tells the other students not to make a fuss. She tells them how much she loved Finn and that she knew the he loved the rest of them as well. She decides to sing the first song they ever sang together driving in his car, "Make You Feel My Love". Santana hangs posters all over the school offering a $10,000 reward for the return of Finn's jacket. She tells Will she's returning to New York soon and may never return because that is her home now. Will comforts her. Puck re-plants the tree and shares a root beer with Beiste. She asks him what he plans to do next. Puck says he's thinking about the Air Force. She tells him not to get shot and they hug. As he rides away she notices he carved "Quarterback" into the tree and she smiles. Rachel and Will are in the rehearsal hall, talking about Finn. She's worried that some day she'll forget him. Her plan had been to live happily ever after with him. First she'd make it big on Broadway, maybe do a movie, then come home to Finn. She's not sure what is next for her in life. She tells Will she had something made and asks if she can display it there. They hang a portrait of Finn on the wall. It is engraved with his name, dates and a Finn Hudson quote: "The show must go on...all over the place...or something." Will comes home and sits down on the couch. He looks exhausted. He opens up his briefcase and we see that he was the one who stole Finn's jacket. Emma comes in to find Will sobbing into the jacket. She sits next to him on the sofa and holds him. The episode ends with a memorial screen: "Cory Monteith: 1982-2013" *Note: The producers were originally quoted as saying this episode would deal directly with Finn's death, the cause of it and address substance abuse issues in some way. The cause of Finn's death is not mentioned. Public service information which was intended for display, to direct people in need of help, was not included either.

Open with Tina showing everybody hilarious video of Blaine twerking. Will says he wants them to get more edgy to give them a better chance to win at Nationals. Jake and Kitty give the rest of New Directions a twerking tutorial. Sue watches this. Rachel shows up at rehearsal with a new haircut. Rupert is furious, reminding her that he is in charge of every decision impacting what the audience sees. She and Paolo perform " You Are Woman, I Am Man ". Rupert says he loves it and wonders if perhaps the haircut was a "reverse Sampson." Unique leaves class to use the restroom. She pops into the girls bathroom and runs into Bree, who isn't happy. Unique begs her not to tell anyone. But this leads to the "great bathroom riot" as students start using the opposite gender's bathroom. Rachel shows Kurt that she was wearing a wig. She showed Rupert afterwards and he said he might let her keep the cut. She felt like taking a risk and Kurt wonders if it is related to Finn. Kurt wants to do something crazy and they decide to do some drinking and get tattoos. Sue goes on TV to complain about twerking. She calls it vulgar and pledges to end it at McKinley and public schools throughout the state. Will tells the kids they are going to draw a line in the sand and blow the debate up. This leads to a performance of " Blurred Lines ". Following this, Sue orders Will into her office and fires him. Rachel and Kurt arrive at the parlor and take a few chugs of the booze. The next morning, the two wake up with hangovers and show off their new art. Kurt's end up being a misspelling: "It's Get Better." Rachel says she backed out. Unique goes the boys room and gets bullied by some of the jocks. They pull off her wig and flush it down the toilet. Unique sings an emotional rendition of " If I Were a Boy ". Sam, Jake, and Ryder want to beat up those who bullied Unique, but she doesn't want it to happen. Will goes in front of the school board and takes them through dance history, showing them what was considered shocking through the years. Sue brings Will to her office and tells him she's putting in a unisex bathroom for Unique. It turns out to be a purple Porta-potty covered with question marks bolted to the middle of the choir room. Kurt goes back to the tattoo parlor to complain. It turns out that Kurt messed up the design when he typed it on his computer. It was his mistake, but the artist asks for the chance to fix it for him. After making fun of her twerking, Bree tells Marley she hooked up with Jake and proceeds to really rub it in Marley goes to Jake and asks if what Bree said was true. He admits it and she runs away in tears. Marley sings "[/i]Wrecking Ball[/i]" in the auditorium. Unique raises her hand and asks to use the bathroom. Will takes her into the hallway and tells her to be herself until the world catches up. Will says he'll let Unique use the faculty bathroom whenever she needs it. Sue sees this. Sue tells Will she'll give Unique a key to the faculty bathroom if he stops the kids from twerking. He won't do it, thinking the point is rebelling against an unjust policy. On his way out, Will throws a very Sue-esque tantrum. Kurt shows up with a tongue piercing and a fixed tattoo. It now says "It's got Bette Midler." He says he's been in a trance since Finn died and thinks the piercing snapped him out of it. After he leaves Rachel pulls up her shirt to reveal she did get a tattoo: A small "Finn" on her stomach. Will tells the kids they're going to stop twerking. Unique realizes he did it for her, to get ride of the porta-potty. He wants them to go "old school Glee" and they sing " On Our Way ".

We open having organized a career fair at McKinley. Will is upset she hasn't arranged for anything in the arts. Will tells the kids that as tough as it will be to find success in the arts, he believes in pursuing one's dreams. This week the theme is Billy Joel, somebody who had to fight through obstacles to become a superstar. Blaine and Sam both have interviews in New York that week, Blaine with NYADA and Sam with Hunter College. Blaine and Sam open the week with "Movin' Out." Sam and Blaine will be staying with Rachel, Kurt and Santana this week. Artie asks Becky what she's going to do after high school. He offers to help with her college search. Sue takes Artie aside and tells him to back off. Marley isn't ready to forgive Jake. She thinks he'll always be that type of guy. Blaine tells Kurt he's looking at safety schools, though Kurt thinks he's getting into NYADA. Blaine sings "Piano Man" at Rachel and Santana's diner. Artie again approaches Becky about college and the choices available to handicapable students. She yells at him to "butt out." Ryder asks Jake why he'd screw up his relationship with Marley. Jake says that's just who he is and sings "My Life." Sam has his interview at Hunter College. It doesn't go well. Afterwards Sam tells Rachel he doesn't want to go to college. He has this vision of being a famous male model. Rachel wants to have a model shoot the following day so he can have some pictures to show agencies. Artie sings "Honesty" to Becky. Afterwards she thinks it means that he is in love with her. He corrects her and says she needs to be honest with herself about a desire to attend college. She's worried about being made fun of. Marley tells her mother about Jake. She's surprised he's trying to get her back and admits to missing him. She says she's glad they never had sex. Sam has his photo shoot. He does pics both fully clothed and in his underwear. Sue brings Artie to her office and yells at him for messing with Becky. Sue tells him she's looked into special needs programs but doesn't think Becky is ready. Artie wonders if perhaps Sue isn't ready to let her go. He says he's found a good Down's Syndrome program at the University of Cincinnati and is going to take her there. Sue seems okay with this. Ryder asks Marley out. She says she needs a break from men. He promises never to hurt her and asks for a chance. She says she'll think about it and he sings "An Innocent Man." Afterwards she agrees to go on a date with him. Blaine tells Kurt he doesn't think he wants to audition for NYADA. He tells him he has other interests. Kurt says he realizes Blaine is scared and tries to reassure him. Artie and Becky look at one of the programs at UC. She ends up sitting in on one of the classes and seems to get along well with the other students. Sam meets with an agency. She paints a very unglamorous picture of what his life would be like as a male model. He thinks he can take it, but she then tells him he needs to lose 10 pounds. Kurt and Rachel tell Sam losing weight is a mistake and he should find a new agency. Kurt, Rachel Sam and Blaine sing "Just the Way You Are." Despite her objections even Santana jumps in at the end. Becky tells Sue she really liked the college. She thinks she's out-grown high school. Sue helps her with her college essay. Ryder tells Jake that he's with Marley.

We open with Will tied up with a meeting and Blaine leading the kids in idea for Nationals. He's thinking something simple that highlights their voices. They think he's being a control freak and he ends up leaving. Kurt tells the rest of Pamela Lansbury that he's booked their first gig. He's picked Callbacks, a place associated with musicals, and the rest of the band isn't sure it's the right venue. We see Kurt's fantasy of their first performance, which is a cover of Madonna's " Into the Groove " that absolutely kills. Blaine calls Kurt to complain about the rest of New Directions not appreciating his leadership. Kurt tells him to be careful not to come off as controlling. Sue has her evaluation to become full-time principal. One of the school board members says she has his vote. Superintendent Harris asks her to go get a beer and refers to her as a "dude." Sue tells Becky she's bothered by Harris finding her so masculine. We see that back in the 1980s, she affected a more manly/tracksuit persona to better intimidate the students. Blaine complains to Brad about not being taken seriously while ignoring Brad's attempts to say something. He decides he'll just sit down and shut up. Some kind of gas comes out of the vent he's sitting next to and Blaine begins to see the choir kids as Muppets. Blaine and the Muppet New Directions sing " You're My Best Friend ". Afterwards they complain he didn't say anything the entire class. Jake's promiscuity seems to be out of control. And he's being a jerk about it. Blaine tells Jake something is going on in the choir room and advises him to sit in the back corner. The next day in class Jake complains that there's no point in teaching them moves they can't keep up with. Marley challenges him to show them his "epic moves" and he performs a " Nasty "/" Rhythm Nation " mash-up with the Cheerios after briefly sitting in the corner. Afterwards, Figgins wakes Jake up, telling him that the rest of the kids left minutes ago. The song never happened. Blaine makes a Muppet version of Kurt in craft class. Sue, who is wearing heels to school, bans puppets. Sue finds Will practicing his dance moves and asks him how he's able to maintain his manliness while being involved in choir. She says she has a thing for Harris, but he doesn't view her as a woman. He compares her situation to Ginger Rogers and says he'll help her learn to lead while dancing backwards. He offers to teach her that type of strength in exchange for costume funding. She turns him down and happens to be sitting near the vent, igniting a dream sequence with Will to Fred Astaire's " Cheek to Cheek ". Bree tells Jake she's pregnant and it's his. She wants to have an abortion and doesn't want to include their parents. Sue catches Blaine sneaking into her office to get puppet Kurt. She gives him detention, meaning he won't be able to go to New York for Kurt's show. Blaine calls Kurt to tell him what happened. Kurt is furious and gets even more incredulous when Blaine mentions the puppet. Only one person shows for the Pamela Lansbury performance, a man who is a huge Angela Lansbury fan. Sue asks Unique for a lady makeover. Jake, Blaine, and Becky end up alone in a classroom for eight hours of detention. Blaine starts to see them as puppets who are interested in his life. Bree tells Jake she got her period. He says he's relieved and she warned him that eventually he's going to knock somebody up for real and she feels sorry for that person. She calls him "toxic." The newly feminine Sue takes the school board on a tour of the high school. Harris apologizes for not noticing her earlier. During the tour, Figgins attempts a "gotcha!" moment with the gas leak, but Sue reveals she fixed the problem the night before. The board tells Sue they want her to be principal permanently. Afterwards, Sue asks Harris on a date and he rudely declines. Tina catches Blaine talking to a puppet Tina. She tells him the kids talked it over and they've agreed to listen to his suggestions, whatever they may be. Jake tells Marley he misses her "every minute of every day." He says he's the only person who can help him be a good person. She tells him he's a good friend, but she doesn't feel the same way about him anymore. Kurt tells the rest of the band that he's booked a gig at a hot venue in Brooklyn. The lone audience member from their last show made a bootleg and gave it to his nephew, who works at a music hall. A box from Blaine arrive at the apartment in New York. Santana looks in and says "Okay, that's creepy." Blaine talks to New Directions and tells them his idea is to be less bossy. To celebrate this new Blaine he's made a peace offering. It's puppet versions of all of them. The New York group opens up their box of puppets and the episode ends with a puppet version of " The Fox ".

opens the episode with a statement about the 2012 Christmas episode " Rough Trade Santa " having been rejected by the Fox executives and, after fan complaint from all over the world and heavy edits, the episode will be shown. Christmas 2012: Will tells the kids their theme for the Christmas tree decoration contest is "Green Is Good". Sam and Tina are in charge and she seems particularly militant about the whole thing. To break the tension, Blaine starts to sing " Joy to the World ", but everyone tells him to shut up. In McKinley High's Non-Denominational Christmas Club, Artie tells the gang their Nativity scene was defaced. Principal Figgins has authorized a living replacement. Jake asks whether manger scenes are even allowed on school property, but Coach Beiste and Artie decline to answer. In New York, Santana has stopped by and exchanges presents with Kurt. Rachel shows up and says she's gotten them a gig as elves at Santa Land. Becky approaches Sam and Tina with mistletoe on her hat demanding a French kiss. Sue arrives and overhears Tina's comments about her letting Becky get away with everything. She admits she's been treating Becky poorly and given her the impression the rules don't apply to her. Sue informs them that she will be judging the decorating contest. The Santa Kurt, Rachel, and Santana are working with turns out to be an obnoxious drunk. To help keep the antsy kids happy they sing " Here Comes Santa Claus ", but this only ends with them being booed. Kitty is being particularly nasty to Marley, claiming that she herself has no interest in playing Mary, even though she'll easily get it if she auditioned. The Glee kids sing " Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree " while working on their decorations. With Santa a no-show for work, Kurt and Rachel tell the kids Mrs. Claus will be standing in. It's Santana dressed in a rather revealing outfit. She has kids sit on her lap and tell her what they want, but most of Santana's responses are inappropriate. Sue judges the Glee club's tree. They have an answer for all of her green-related questions. She seems impressed. Beiste and Will judge the manger auditions. Unique, Marley, and Tina sing " Mary's Boy Child ". Beiste loves it and asks for last-minute auditions. Kitty leaves. An attractive man named Cody shows up to play Santa. Kurt is smitten and Santana even admits that "her girl-loving vagina is getting tingly". To get to know them better as elves, he suggests dinner at their place that night. Sue announces that the runners-up for the decoration contest are the Biology club, the 420 club, and the football team, and goes on to proclaim the Glee club as the winners. Angry at having lost, Becky destroys her xylophone. Kitty has more snark for Marley after she's chosen as Mary. Kitty admits that she's upset that as a Christian she doesn't have the spirit and compares herself to Mary Magdalene. Cody is impressed with Kurt and Rachel's apartment. They mention having met in Glee club and he pulls out a helium tank for a rendition of " The Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don't Be Late) ". They seem to be drinking heavily. Becky gives Tina and Sam the gift of her baby teeth. She says she feels like a loser after her tree entry was criticized by Sue. Rachel and Santana talk about the latter moving to New York. They find Kurt and Cody fooling around in the kitchen. The next morning Rachel and Santana wake up hungover to find that Cody has robbed them. They find Kurt bound and gagged in the bedroom. Tina and Sam decide to give their angel decoration prize to Becky. They think they have an idea to convince Kitty to play Mary. During the Nativity dress rehearsal, Unique plays the virgin Mary and she sings " Love Child " with the New Directions. Afterwards Kitty is shocked, calling it "the most sacrilegious and profane horror show I've ever seen", and says they have to do it the "right way". They give her the part of the virgin Mary; Kitty not realizing that it was all a set-up for her to take over. Sam and Tina give Becky the prize, telling her there was a recount.
