Glee - Swan Song

Well, where should I begin?? How about at the beginning. The show starts right were it left off from last week. Everyone is rushing off the stage because Marley passed out, but they have to hurry because if they don't get back out there they get disqualified. It took them too long to realize this and they were disqualified and, of course, Sue was the one that gave them the bad news. Marley was so worried about screwing it up for everyone and she actually did it. But i\the fault is not all hers. Kitty had a hand in this; filling her head with nonsense about her weight and encouraging her to throw up. Shame on her. And everyone needs to know this because they were all so pissed at Marley for messing up, especially the seniors. I hadn't thought about it until I watched but, that was sectionals and they lost. Which means that they can't compete anymore and the seniors chance of winning nationals is over. Also, Sue has taken over the choir room and there is no other place for them to rehears. Because of this all the kids join other groups. Tina and Blaine become Cheerios, Arty joins the marching band, Ryder and Jake join the basketball team, Wade joins floor hockey, and Sam joins the inter-faith paintball team!! Insanity!! Sue finally got what she wanted (who knew) and she actually felt bad about it. I'm pretty sure that's why she let Tina and Blaine become cheerios. As the leader of the New Directions, Finn is trying to keep everyone together but, from the looks of it, Marley is the only one on board.
Meanwhile, Sam is trying to win Brittany over with a "path of cereal." They sing a duet and almost kiss but Brittany can't do it because of some lesbian blog. She's scared they'll be pissed because she's with a dude now. But after some time she decided that they didn't matter and now she and Sam are together. And I totally called this weeks ago, and they are so cute!! 
In the end it was Marley who found them a place to rehears, which was outside. That's interesting because it's winter and cold and it snowed on them and it's cold. I just wonder how long that will last before they all get frost bite?! But they all do come back, which is good. 
In New York, NYADA is about to hold their annual Winter Showcase which way too intense. First off, Whoopi's back!! But there's the deal with the Showcase: you have to be invited, Carmen hand rights each invitation and makes her own wax seal, and freshman rarely get invited. But that all changed when Rachel got her invite. This, of course, angered Cassandra and she tried everything in her power to break Rachel's spirits but it didn't work. And I must say that Rachel has got some serious balls for standing up to her teacher time and time again. I mean, this lady is grading her! She could fail her because of all this and it seems like that thought hasn't even crossed Rachel's mind. Kurt is still trying to get into NYADA and decides to pay Carmen a visit and she basically tells him that he bombed his audition again. So, it's time for the showcase and I must say that Rachel's dress is gorgeous!! Before she goes on Brody gives her a little pep talk and she, finally, kisses him. I guess they're together?? So, Rachel sings and is, obviously, amazing and she's so amazing that the crowd asks for an encore! She sings a good rendition of Oh Holy Night which is one of my favorite Christmas songs. But, I'm a little confused because Rachel's Jewish, so why is she singing a Christmas song?? But anyway, after that Carmen announces that next on the program is Kurt!! And of course he freaks out because he doesn't think he can perform but Rachel gives him a pep talk and he goes out there and gets a standing ovation!! Yay Kurt!! After the showcase Rachel has a really nice and long overdue conversation with Finn, where he cries, and she announces that she won the showcase! But Kurt is the real winner because after all that he finally gets his acceptance letter to NYADA!! So, yay Kurt and Rachel!! 
All in all, this was a great episode. We finally got to her the piano guy (I think his name is Burt) speak and good things are happening for the New Yorkers. I hope some good things start happening for the New Directions, but with them not competing who knows what the rest of the season has in store for them. Hopefully Kitty will get  confronted on how evil she was to Marley. I expected to see that this episode and there was basically nothing. 

Oh and P.S. I watched this episode with my brother who doesn't watch the show at all and he seemed to be enjoying it so it must have been a great episode.
