Episode 1: Season 5 Back in Business Part 1
It's back to school for the McKinley students and they revel with their win from Regionals. Most people praise them, but some still jeered them. Ryder has quit the Glee club to focus on his dyslexia tutoring and he is still not talking to Unique because she lied. Emma and Will enjoyed their marriage life honeymooning in Cabo San Lucas and are back now. Blaine has not proposed to Kurt yet because he still felt it was not the right time.
Ryder walks in the tutor room and does not see his regular tutor, but a another student. "Hello? Excuse me?" Ryder says. "Oh Hi, you must be Ryder" says a girl his age almost tripping on a cable wire. "Uh yeah hi, I meet my tutor here in the morning. Am I early or something? Ryder said looking confused. "No, you're good on the schedule. I'm your tutor Mary Stanford filling in for Mrs. William." Mary said to Ryder. Ryder looked at her thinking isn't she too young to be a teacher. "I'm her assistant and a sophomore here, so I help when she's busy or sick." Ryder sat down and asked "what happened to her anyway?" "She attempted surfing and broke her legs. So I'm going to be your tutor for a while. Do you have any extra curics besides football?" said Mary. Ryder looked down and said no. Mary shrugged and said ok. So they started getting to work.
Glee
In the choir room:
The glee kids are talking while waiting for Mr. Schuester. He comes in and they all cheer. He tells them that this is their first Regional win and he is proud of them. However he still has to talk about Ryder and Sugar's departure. "I know we lost two members with Ryder quitting and Sugar moving to another school where she wants to be the star, but we still have big and strong voices and Nationals to think about, which will be Tina, Artie, Sam and Blaine being their last." The club started clapping with joy but a little bit of sadness. "We gotta think positive and move on alright guys?" Mr. Schue, how are you and Miss Pillsbury? Asked Tina. Mr. Schue smiled and said "everything's good actually for now. The honeymoon was eventful and we're good." The guys cheered and Jake said "we all know what you did Mr. Schue." Mr. Schue smiled but didn't want to tell them everything about his honeymoon. "Okay guys; now let's get down to business. We need to think of a really good set list for a Nationals win. Our assignment for this week is 'Goals'. I want you to perform songs that you think are goal oriented.
In Mr. Schue's History class:
Mr. Schue talks about the Emancipation Proclamation and how it freed the slaves. The bell rings, everyone is dismissed. He calls one of the students and tells him that he missed an assignment last week. "Sorry Mr. Schue, I had Basketball practice and got tired to do it. I'll get to you tomorrow." Says the student. Mary gets up and asks Mr. Schue if he is going to chaperone the field trip to Pennsylvania. "Uh no, sorry Mary I backed out because I kind of invested my time to the Glee Club. I have all these things planned plus the class assignments and my hands are full." "Congratulations on your Regionals win, by the way." Mary says to Mr. Schue. Mr. Schue said thank you but he still has to find ways to do all these things on his tight schedule. "Do you need any help? I can help you with some stuff for the club like fundraising and the song list." Mary said "Set list," Mr. Schue said correcting her. "Right so do you need help?" "I thought you were helping Mrs. Williams while she 'under the weather'." "I'm only helping one student with his writing so I'll have time. I like music and know plenty so I can help you with some songs or I can type up the list of the songs you suggest." Mary thought of this to put more activities on her transcripts. Mr. Schue asked if she could sing, but she said no. He thought about it a little and said yes. All she has to do is listen to the kids sing, see if it's good and maybe suggest some songs that are good for competitions. Mary was happy that she had another assistant job. Just hope that a members will accept her.
