Glee - Sweet Dreams

Glee is back, post-shooting and things seem to be a little different at McKinley. Some of the New Directions are acting pretty strange; Tina changed her style, Sam has created this "twin" named Evan, and Wade is trying to grow boobs by taking birth control pills!! But, the biggest change is with Will. For some reason he's gotten really mean. I don't know if it has to do with the shooting or his relationship with Finn but something is making him act like a jerk. He tries a second time to get the group ready for regionals and this time he knows the theme, which is dreams. So he picks out all these awful songs an won't take any suggestions, and then when the group goes behind his back he freaks out on them. Marley is determined to get him to  choose on of her original songs but he won't have it. So she goes behind his back and has some of the kids sing the song with her just to see how it sounds. My opinion of the song: the words were kind of corny but overall it was amazing. Of course Will is in the background for most of it and this is the moment when he realizes he needs to lighten up. 
Finn goes to college. Within minutes we see him in not one but TWO of those FAKE harlem shake things. That made me so mad. Then he discovers that Puck decided to move back to Ohio and hang out at that school. And yes I mean hang out like, he's not even enrolled there. They go buck wild!! Finn skips classes, they have water slides on the dorm hallway, and go to a frat party. Basically Finn is spiraling out of control. Will visits him to apologize and try to knock some sense into him but, at first, it doesn't work. It actually takes Puck to get Finn to come to his senses and Finn finds a way to go back to McKinley and get college credit for it. Thank God because one thing Glee got wrong was normal college dorm life. They really need to stick to high school. 
In other McKinley news Roz aka NeNe Leekes is back and has taken over the Cheerios. I love it. She is absolutely hilarious and I'm happy we'll see her more. She brings Blaine and Becky in to her office to make sure that they won't let what happen to Sue happen to her, and Becky gets a little too emotional. She is definitely going to get found out soon. 
At NYADA, Shelby is back!! Rachel's mom returns to help her out with her audition for Funny Girl and of course they sing a duet! "Next To Me" on Glee. I enjoyed it. I mean, I love that songs so to have it on Glee was great! Shelby comes back because she has some Braodway daycare business which makes me think we may be seeing more of her. Shelby tries to help Rachel choose a song but instead she turns to Finn.He is the one that puts the idea in her head to sing "Don't Stop Believin'". That is the only song I don't mind being re-used on this show. There was also a bit of a flashback while she was on stage with the original club members. I must say that Rachel and Finn are THAT couple on TV. You know, the couple that belongs together but aren't because every single obstacle possible gets in their way, but in the end they get together after, what seems like, a million years. At first I thought it was Will and Emma. Maybe it's both. I don't know, this is just a sidenote. Back to Rachel, she gets a callback; YAY!
Overall this episode was good. We're back to going back and forth from McKinley to New York. We don't know what Sue's doing but it looks like we'll find that out next week. And it looks like the glee club will be doing original songs at regionals. I'm not mad at them because that is one of the things that this show does well. We just have to see if it's enough to get them into Nationals.
