Glee - Old Dog New Tricks

This episode centers around Kurt and Rachel. Kurt is trying to find something great he can do with his life because all his friends seem to be doing these great things and he feels like he isn't. Rachel is trying to save her career after the disaster she created last week was leaked online.
Everyone around Kurt is doing something amazing with their life but him. So when Maggie Banks, a retired Broadway performer, comes in to the diner and asks if she can advertise her home's production of Peter Pan, he takes it upon himself to check it out. When the Peter of the musical dies, Kurt ends up taking her spot. All of this seemed too perfect for him. I mean, he fit right in at the old folks home. The sad thing (other than someone dying) was that none of Kurt's friends seemed to have the time to support him, except Blaine but that's obvious. I was sitting there like, I'll be your friend Kurt, I'll support you. I just felt really bad that no one had the time for him. But, luckily, they got some sense knocked into them and showed up for the performance. 
Now as for Rachel, I didn't feel too bad for her and her situation. She desperately needed some good press, so Santana came up with the idea for her to take up a cause and she chose helping the animals; sheltered dogs to be exact. Santana set up all this press for Rachel and they even held this event that was kind of like a grand opening of Rachel's charity organization. Of course Rachel made it all about herself in the beginning, but soon realized that it's not all about her and that she should do things for other people. 
In other news, Santana as a publicist is brilliant. She's so good at it. And she was inspired by none other than thee Olivia Pope herself. Oh I love all the Scandal references but doesn't Fox know that show doesn't come on their network? But hey, they can publicize it if they want, I'm not mad. 
There was also a little thing between Sam and Mercedes. Sam adopted a dog from the shelter, without telling Mercedes, and the dog ended up destroying her house. The thing that brought Mercedes to her breaking point was when the dog got into her hair. Yes, her hair. It just had to be the hair that pushed her over the edge. They ended up having to give the dog away because neither of them would be able to keep taking care of it. 
Overall, I really liked this episode. This was the one that Chris Colfer wrote and he did a good job. Oh, and Billy Dee Williams was a guest star! That is a huge deal, to me anyway. Next week is the season finale! I feel like this season has been going on for forever. Well, until next week.
