Glee - Glee, Actually

So this is the Christmas episode of Glee. I know, it came on a little early but this is because it's not coming back until the new year. So let's get to it. A lot went on in this episode which made it seem kind of all over the place but it was still nice. First off, Arty had a dream which was basically a parallel universe. In this dream, Arty got his wish which is that he was never in a wheelchair. Because of this the glee club never happened. Arty was a jock, Kurt never graduated, Blaine doesn't exist, Tina still stuttered, Rachel was the librarian, Rory came back (???) and Quinn died!! Pretty crazy, right? Oh, and did I mention it was all in black and white? Thankfully, it only lasted about 10 minutes, then he woke up and everything went back to normal. 
Over to New York, Rachel and Kurt are spending their first Christmas there, well, Kurt is because Rachel was leaving to go on some cruise with her family. Kurt decided he wasn't going to go back to Ohio and so he would be alone but then, out of the blue, his dad showed up. Everything is going great and everything seems fine until his dad breaks the news to Kurt that he has prostate cancer!! Major sad face here! Everything was going so well and now this. Let's just hope that nothing bad comes of it. After all that Burt has a surprise gift for Kurt and lo and behold, it's Blaine. I must admit their reunion was a little awkward. Kurt seemed like he was fine with it but I don't think he was. And I really don't think he likes the idea of Blaine coming to NYADA. How this goes down ins going to be very interesting, but we will have to wait and see. 
Now back to Ohio. Jake is still having a hard time but Puck comes to his rescue and they take off for L.A. Puck tries to make it look like his life is cool but his cover gets blown and he and Jake end up going back to Ohio to spend Christmas with their moms, together. [SIDENOTE: While in L.A. Jake had his shirt off, but I was very unimpressed. And they got tattoos?!] We finally got to see who Jake and Puck's moms were! That get together was almost bad news but thankfully the mothers started to get along.
So, Brittany and Sam are going crazy over the whole Mayan calendar, end of the world thing. Brittany spent her whole life savings (who knew she had any) and bought very expensive gifts for her friends, and Sam asked Brittany to marry him!! They really lost their minds. And then coach Beiste agreed to marry them and they really thought they were married but, again, thank God the marriage wasn't real. And I think this proves that these two belong together because they are so alike (more than I knew) but I don't think too much good could come from their relationship. 
The final storyline of the episode is focused on Marley, her mom and their Christmas troubles. The only present Marley is getting this Christmas is a trip to the therapist so she she can, finally, get some help with her eating disorder. But, the really don't have that much money so it really is a struggle. And Sue ends up getting Marley's mom for the faculty secret santa and overhears all of this. So she actually decides to do something nice and breaks into their house and gives them a really nice Christmas and a chunk of money for the therapy. Christmas really does bring out the good in all. 
Despite all the craziness this was a nice episode. I think this was a good way to end the year, but now we have to wait, again, to see some new episodes, and from the looks of it they seem pretty steamy. Can't wait. 
Merry Christmas, happy Hanukkah, and Happy New Year!!
