Shelby is seen under the bathroom stall throwing up when Rachel walks in. Rachel opens the stall door to see Shelby leaned over the toilet. Shelby turns around to face Rachel.
RACHEL: I know what happened.
SHELBY: Rachel I'm so sorry. I know you two dated and I totally understand if you still have feelings for him. He's a lot to loose.
RACHEL (in tears): How could you do this to me Mommy?
SHELBY: O so I'm mommy now?
RACHEL: No, I don't have feelings for him to answer your question but do you know what you've done?
SHELBY: Look, Noah promised he wasn't going to say anything to anyone. No one is going to find out.
RACHEL: He already told me which means he probably told Quinn who has probably told everyone.
SHELBY: Rachel, this is my problem, not yours. It's my battle to fight, not yours. You don't need to worry about it.
RACHEL (practically screaming): II'M NOT WORRIED! I'm hurt. I'm hurt because you made a bad decision that would not only hurt me, but would also hurt Puck. I needed you. I needed you to be that one safe thing that I could always count on even if you weren't always there. I trusted you, even though I barely know you. And now look at the mess you've made. Quinn's about to take you to court, you will loose your job when the school finds out about this, and you will leave me AGAIN for New York and your daughter who isn't even your flesh and blood but means more to you than me. When you came back this year, I really thought that finally, maybe, I had a mom. I thought this could be our chance, my chance, to finally be a normal person who could have someone to talk to who wouldn't judge me or dismiss off out of fear of the subject matters.
SHELBY( tears): You still have me. You always did and you always will. Rachel, you and Beth are both my daughters. Even though you both came into my life in two totally different contexts, I don't love her more than I love you. I have a physical and emotional bond with you that I could never have with her. You're special Rachel and even though Beth is someone I was actually prepared for and I love her as if she were my own, there is just something missing that I will never have with her that I have with you. And what happened with Puck has absolutely nothing to do with that. I understand that you're scared, but just be brave and remember that this is my life. But you will always have a special place in my heart, just reserved for you.
