So here's what you missed On Glee… The New Directions sent Blaine to spy on the Warblers even though Kelsey really wanted to go. And Kelsey really wanted to be a spy just so she could get close to that new Warbler, Sebastian, who may be into Blaine and not Kelsey. Leah gave her some good advice though to help her through the situation. Leah and Mr. Schue are still dating but it seems Leah puts more time into helping 'the kids' than she spends dating Will. Also Finn must think spying on the competition isn't enough to give New Directions the edge so he tried to recruit Quinn. Yeah… She doesn't seem that interested in the club that took her in not so long ago…in fact Quinn seems to just be interested in smoking and cutting class. And that's what you missed on Glee.
"Guess what's just around the corner?" Kurt sang excitedly. Blaine shrugged while opening his locker "Um Sectionals?" he guessed.
"Well yes but those are like next week. I'm talking about something a little further away." Kurt hinted.
Blaine itched his brain for the answer, knowing that Kurt had probably told him of this event a dozen times. Maybe it was their anniversary… yeah that was coming up.
Kurt became impatient "Blaine the Nyada auditions!"
"Oh right" Blaine laughed then smiled.
"I haven't got my letter to say I'm a finalist"
"Which you absolutely will be." Blaine assured.
Kurt nodded "Rachel said they'll be sending out the letters. So I need to start preparing a song. Do you want to go to Between The Sheets tonight to help me pick out some music?"
"Can't, I have Warbler spying." Blaine told.
Kurt exhaled loudly, hoping Blaine would feel bad and change his mind. Blaine gave him a sympathetic glance. "Hey maybe Rachel would help. I'm sure she'll be choosing a song soon too." Blaine offered an alternative.
Letting his head droop a bit Kurt agreed "Yeah I guess I'll ask her if she's free."
"Buenos dias, clase!" Mr. Schuester greeted his Spanish class.
"Buenos Dias Senior Schuester" a few students replied.
"Hoy vamos a dias de la semana aprendiendo." Mr. Schuster continued.
"What is he saying?" Kelsey whispered ahead to Molly and Sadie.
"Today we will be learning days of the week." Mr. Schuster repeated seeing the sudden comprehension in his students' eyes. He began to pass out note cards. "You can put these new words on note cards for studying purposes." Mr. Schuster told hearing snickers, he supposed he was a fool if he thought his students would actually study.
"Spanish calendars start with Monday which is Lunes. Monday Lunes." Mr. Schuester told. "Tuesday is Martes" he paused to let them write these down.
"Mr. Schue can you write this on your board?" Sadie requested.
Mr. Schuester nodded "Of course. Meircoles is Wednesday. Jueves is Thursday. Friday is Viernes. Saturday is Sabado and Sunday is Domingo." He said while writing the new vocabulary on the board. "Now let's practice saying them" Mr. Schue then began repeating the words with the class.
"Hey I saw Blaine and Kurt talking this morning and Kurt looked sad" Molly whispered to Sadie with a smile.
"Lunes, Martes, Meircoles" Sadie recited with Mr. Schuester instead of listening to Molly.
"This is big, they could be breaking up" Molly told.
"Ok I think you guys have it. Flip open your books and read the days of the week chapter with a partner." Mr. Schue instructed.
Sadie was hesitant to turn to work with Molly because obviously Molly would just talk about Blaine, not Spanish, but when you sat right beside a friend how could you not work with them?
Kelsey hunted the room for a lonely person as she always did when it came time for partner work. She spotted Sam and ran over to sit with him. "Hey partner" she smiled.
Sam gave her an awkward smile since this was the first he heard of their partnership.
"You wouldn't mind working with me would you?" Kelsey asked worried that maybe he did mind.
Sam shook his head "No of course not but usually I don't read these assignments when Mr. Schue gives them to us. So…"
"Well I'll read it to you, you can't just slack off" Kelsey told.
"I haven't been able to confirm it but it didn't look good Sadie." Molly cheered.
Sadie shook her head and sighed "Molly, Blaine. Is. Gay. Okay? He has a boyfriend, you are not his type. I'm sorry but you're gonna have to give this up." Sadie said as gently as she could.
"This is true but," Molly started.
'Oh here we go...' Sadie thought.
"When Blaine and I are together he totally flirts with me, Sadie. We have chemistry."
"I don't think he's flirting. He's just nice." Sadie argued.
Molly shook her head "He's gay with the capability of liking me" she decided.
"You're going to be very disappointed when you turn out to be wrong." Sadie told.
"Kurt is boring anyway." Molly said ignoring Sadie's comment.
Kelsey opened the Spanish book and stared at the long paragraphs. "You know Sam I think you might be on to something. Not reading this chapter totally seems like a great idea." Kelsey decided closing the book.
Sam hurriedly re-opened it, receiving a suspicious glance from Kelsey.
"You have to make it look like you might be reading." Sam whispered, looking up at Mr. Schue sitting at his desk.
"So what do you do when you decide not to do your class assignments?" Kelsey wondered.
Sam shrugged "I just sit here and hope time moves quickly."
"I'm always hoping this class goes quickly, I hate it and this man" Kelsey pointed to Mr. Schue "knows about as much as I do about Spanish."
"I don't think it was his first choice." Sam defended.
"Speaking of his choices… What do you think he'll choose for sectionals?"
"I think Finn convinced him to let us have an input. Once Blaine tells us what the Warblers are up to we can pick a 'can't lose' set list." Sam told.
Kelsey sighed.
"What?" Sam wondered, knowing the sigh was out of unhappiness or disapproval.
"You know I'm all for spying on the Warblers but we shouldn't need to know what they're doing. Why can't we just pick great songs to do? And besides we won't even be up against the Warblers at Sectionals. Though I'd love to be up against them." Kelsey said.
"You'd like to what?" Sam exclaimed.
Kelsey nervously chuckled "nothing. "
Then thankfully the bell rang before she'd have to come up with an answer for Sam.
Rachel didn't need Finn. It had taken her awhile but she was better than to take back a man who had cheated on her. Besides Nyada would be sending her a letter any day now and Finn was a distraction, an obstacle in her way of stardom. But still… Rachel's eyes drifted down the hall to where Finn stood laughing with their friends, she loved him and "NO!" Rachel thought to herself as she slammed her locker shut. She didn't need Finn.
At the end of the day when everyone filed into the choir room for Glee Blaine wasn't present. "Has anyone seen my boyfriend?" Kurt asked.
"He's behind enemy lines." Molly leaned forward over Kurt's shoulder.
Kurt quickly scooted away. One because Molly annoyed him and he didn't want her right behind him and two Molly annoyed him because she always seemed to know everything about Blaine.
"He's like a secret agent now" Tina said with a giggle. In an instant the band began playing and Puck strummed the song he prepared on his guitar. Tina wiggled with a little dance as she made her way down to the front of the room and began singing…
"There's a man who leads a life of danger
to everyone he meets he stays a stranger
with every move he makes another chance he takes
Odds are he won't live to see tomorrow"
Mike came down to perform a dance around Tina as she continued into the chorus.
"Secret agent man, secret agent man
They've given you a number and taken away your name Beware of pretty faces that you find
A pretty face can hide an evil mind
Ah, be careful what you say
Or you'll give yourself away
Odds are you won't live to see tomorrow Secret agent man, secret agent man
They've given you a number and taken away your name" Swinging' on the Riviera one day
And then laying' in the Bombay alley next day
Oh no, you let the wrong word slip
While kissing persuasive lips"
Tina sang, her and Mike began getting theatrical with the lyrics, dropping to the floor and giving each other a quick kiss.
"The odds are you won't live to see tomorrow Secret agent man, secret agent man
They've given you a number and taken away your name Secret agent man"
Tina finished with applause from the Glee Club. Mr. Schuester made his way towards Tina clapping as he went. "Great job Tina but it's not Sectionals material."
Tina shrugged and went back to her seat. "So what is Sectionals material?" Angela asked curiously.
"This year the theme is… drum roll please" Mr. Schue requested as he ran to scribble a word on the board "Inspiration." He revealed, eliciting a few claps from the Glee club.
"So we have to do Adam Lambert right? He's my inspiration." Molly told.
"MJ! Let's do a Michael show; he inspired everyone." Artie hollered.
"If we're doing inspirational songs, you have to let me belt out a Aretha number Mr. Schue." Mercedes decided.
"I'll do 'Don't Rain on My Parade'. That song has inspired me all my life." Rachel said placing a hand over her heart to demonstrate how much it meant to her. "You've already done that song Rachel." Santana pointed out.
"Enough of this Adam, Aretha and Barbra crap" Artie complained, rolling to the front "Mr. Schue if I may."
Mr. Schuester stepped aside "Sure go ahead show us what inspiration is Artie." In a moment Artie began to sing a Michael Jackson number.
"There's A Place In
Your Heart
And I Know That It Is Love
And This Place Could
Be Much
Brighter Than Tomorrow
And If You Really Try
You'll Find There's No Need
To Cry
In This Place You'll Feel
There's No Hurt Or Sorrow
There Are Ways
To Get There
If You Care Enough
For The Living
Make A Little Space
Make A Better Place..."
Using his fingerArtie invited Angela up to sing the chorus with him. "Heal The World
Make It A Better Place
For You And For Me
And The Entire Human Race
There Are People Dying
If You Care Enough
For The Living
Make A Better Place
For You And For Me"
Then Angelasang the next verse sprinkled with Artie's voice whenever he felt like joining her.
"And The Dream We Were
Conceived In
Will Reveal A Joyful Face
And The World We
Once Believed In
Will Shine Again In Grace
Then Why Do We Keep
Strangling Life
Wound This Earth
Crucify Its Soul
Though It's Plain To See
This World Is Heavenly
Be God's Glow
We Could Fly So High"
"So high" Artie echoed taking over.
"Let Our Spirits Never Die
In My Heart
I Feel You Are All
My Brothers
Create A World With
No Fear
Together We'll Cry
Happy Tears
See The Nations Turn
Their Swords
Into Plowshares
We Could Really Get There
If You Cared Enough
For The Living
Make A Little Space
To Make A Better Place..."
Angela wandered among her smiling Glee Club friends until she could continue singing the chorus with Artie. Everyone swayed and danced with their hands while they listened from their seats.
"Heal The World "You And For Me
Make It A Better Place
For You And For Me
And The Entire Human Race
There Are People Dying
If You Care Enough
For The Living
Make A Better Place
For You And For Me
There Are People Dying
If You Care Enough
For The Living
Make A Better Place
For You And For Me" Artie held out the note while Angela repeated
You And For Me
You And For Me"
"Heal the world we live in, save it for our children
heal the world we live in, save it for our children"
The choir room erupted in hoots and 'woo hoos' and of course applause. Finn stopped clapping abruptly, his gaze fixed on the doorway. Within seconds everyone else followed his stare.
"Quinn?" Rachel said surprised and confused. Quinn Fabray leaned on the door frame looking into the Glee room with a small smile on her face. "I've missed this I think." She finally said taking a step through the door. Puck grinned from ear to ear "So Finn and I got to you. You're coming back." He decided. Quinn took another few steps forward "I thought it over like you asked, so I suppose you had a little to do with it." She told but her mind fluttered back to a conversation she had recently with Ms. Shumaker.
"You're not even old enough to smoke. Who's buying these for you?" Leah frowned and dropped Quinn's pack of cigarettes in the bathroom sink. Quinn rolled her eyes as she quickly gathered her make-up and cigarettes from the sink and stuffed them into her purse. Had she known the she was not alone in the bathroom she wouldn't have tried to light one up. "Come down to my office." Ms. Shumaker snapped. "No!" Quinn refused. "It's my office or Mr. Figgins, Ms. Fabray" Leah warned. Reluctantly Quinn then followed Ms. Shumaker to her office. "You're too smart for this. I've looked over your files; you were at the top of your class." Leah informed. Quinn shrugged as if she didn't care how far she'd fallen. "Stop that! You do care or at least you're going to start to!" Leah growled. "Hey I've heard all this before; smoking is bad for you, you're throwing away you're life, you used to be so pretty… Well I don't care about any of that." Quinn yelled back. Leah sighed "Last year was tough Quinn and I won't pretend I know what you went through but this isn't the answer, you aren't saving yourself any pain by not caring." A small tear began to form in Quinn's eye because Leah was right, all these new things she was doing didn't make her feel better. It didn't make her popular or earn her a decent boyfriend and in the long run it certainly wouldn't get her Prom Queen. Not caring only allowed her to pretend to be happy and make people believe it. "You were a Cheerio before right? And you were in Glee club; I heard you were very talented." Leah said softly. Quinn nodded. "Well why'd you give those things up Quinn? " She lost Finn to that troll Rachel Berry, then she lost Nationals because of the troll Rachel Berry, so Quinn wanted to forget Finn, and Glee, hence her departure from her old extracurricular. "I think you need to quit the smoking, the not caring and rejoin those teams you belong in." Leah advised. "I think you'll have a great year if you do." Leah added.
"I'd love to come back if you guys will have me" Quinn said glancing over the Glee Club. "Of course we'll let you come back" Finn answered before anyone else got to form an opinion about the situation. Brittney jumped forward to give Quinn her first welcome back hug.
Meanwhile Blaine was at Dalton catching up with his fellow Warbler friends. "Me and Kurt are still together" he confirmed for Trent. "Do you still get to sing the lead parts at McKinley?" Nick wondered. Blaine shook his head "There's so many divas in that glee club; the New Directions aren't like the Warblers at all but I have gotten a fair share of solos."
"You should come back to Dalton; we'll appreciate your talent in every song we pay tribute to." Sebastian offered. For a moment Blaine was definitely tempted but then he refused "I'm in the spotlight plenty at McKinley and I couldn't leave Kurt."
Sebastian frowned; he had heard enough of this Kurt guy. He gave the Warblers a signal and they stood and began to get into formation while singing the beginning of their most recent cover song. "You wanna join us Blaine?" Sebastian asked inviting Blaine with both his eyes and his hand. Blaine looked uneasy. "Come on Anderson, you can have your own spotlight" knowing Blaine would follow Sebastian turned to his group and began singing
" Every word's a new regret if you say it right, right
Every wound can be forgotten in the right light
Oh nostalgia, I don't need you anymore"
Sebastian spread his arms out parting the Warblers in half; Blaine picked a side and caught on to the dance moves fairly fast.
"Cause the Saturdays are over and the beat is at my door
Cause they might try to tell you how you can live your life
But don't, don't forget it's your right, to do whatever you like, you like"
With a swift movement Sebastian pulled Blaine to the front to sing the lead.
"Cause you could be your own spotlight," Blainebegan the chorus.
"e-o, e-o" some warblers tailed to Blaine's sentence.
"You could be your own spotlight,"
" e-o, e-o"
"You could be your own spotlight, you could be the star, you can shine so bright, e-o, e-o,
You could be your own, cause they're gonna tell you all the rules to break
To take away that light, somebody, somebody now
You could be your own spotlight, e-o, e-o
You could be your own spotlight."
Blaine strutted around the room doing little dances with all the warblers just like he used to as he continued singing.
"Depression is a little bit like happy hour, right
It's always gotta be happening somewhere on any given night
Oh nostalgia I don't need you anymore
I just hope my perfect stranger that my kids look more like yours
Cause they might, they might, try to tell you how you can live your life
But don't, don't forget it's your right to do whatever you like, you like"
At this time Sebastian decided to start directing Blaine where to go and showed him the dance he should be doing.
"Cause you could be your own spot light, e-o, e-o
You could be your own spotlight, e-o, e-o"
Sebastian cut in, not able to resist making this a duet between him and the warbler legend.
"You could be your own spotlight, you could be the star, you can shine so bright, e-o, e-o, " You could be your own, cause they're gonna tell you all the rules to break
To take away that light, somebody, somebody now
You could be your own spotlight, e-o, e-o
You could be your own spotlight, e-o, e-o
You could be your own, cause I had a little bit of bad luck"
After letting Sebastian Smythe have his moment in the sun Blaine joined him in singing
"Oh, when will this crumbling world stop
Little sweetness keeps just out of reach
Cause compassion is something that they just don't, just don't teach, teach"
All the warblers fell silent dramatically for just a slither of a moment. With a 'go ahead' glance from the captain Blaine continued singing.
"Cause you could be your own spot light, e-o, e-o
You could be your own spotlight, e-o, e-o
You could be your own spotlight, you could be the star, you can shine so bright, e-o, e-o,
You could be your own"
Sebastian jumped back in overshadowing Blaine with his delivery of the next line "cause they're gonna tell you all the rules to break. To take away that light, somebody, somebody now"
"You could be your own spotlight, e-o, e-o"
They finished together. "You're absolutely flawless" Sebastian told. "I think you should honestly think about returning here. You miss being a Warbler." Sebastian assumed. Blaine was speechless. "Just say you will… think about it" Sebastian said taking a step too close to Blaine. "Uh I –I'll –la I'll think about…it" Blaine became flustered by Sebastian's approach. "Good" Sebastian smiled.
Later that evening Kurt was yapping about his song choices for his Nyada audition, should he get an acceptance letter informing him that he is a finalist. "I'm considering a piece from Les Miserable; I've been singing stuff from that for years. I really couldn't go wrong with a Whitney number and after hearing Artie today, you weren't there, but he did this great Michael Jackson song and I looked through some MJ songs I could do…Maybe a Jackson Five song…" Kurt noticed Blaine was lying on his bed with his eyes closed. "Blaine are you listening to me?"
Blaine sat up immediately and forced a smile "Of course. Of course I'm listening." He assured.
"Is there something on your mind?" Kurt realized that something was up. Blaine looked down into his hands unsure of how he should go about this. "Do you know how I've been spending time at Dalton…With the Warblers?"
Kurt cautiously nodded "Yes" he drew out. "Well today I sang with them and…"
"And?" Kurt interrupted.
"And Sebastian Smythe invited me to rejoin. I think I want to go back to Dalton." Blaine finally admitted. Kurt gasped "Blaine, no. You can't go back. What about me? And Sectionals and our Glee Club?"
"We're not going to break up Kurt. I miss being a Warbler. It's who I am as a performer."
"No you are Blaine Anderson." Kurt asserted. "Who is this Sebastian guy? The jerk that crashed the dance?"
"Um yeah that's him but this has nothing to do with Sebastian, I want to be a Warbler." Blaine told. A frustrated pool of tears grew in Kurt's eyes "It's my senior year Blaine. I don't want my boyfriend running off to perform with a competing show choir. This is silly you can't go back to Dalton." Kurt held Blaine's gaze until he agreed. With a sigh Blaine nodded "We don't have to talk about it anymore." It wasn't really him agreeing that he wouldn't leave but Kurt had to accept it.
"Hey you" Will said grabbing Leah from behind and giving her a quick kiss. "What are you cooking?" he peered over her shoulder to see what was on the stove. "Just stir fry. What are you so happy about?" Leah wondered feeling Will's good mood vibrate through her kitchen. "Quinn came back to Glee." He told leaning against the counter. "She did?" Leah said as if this was the first she heard of it. Will smiled "I know it was you. I know you convinced her to come back. So thank you we may need her for Sectionals next weekend."
Leah turned around wearing a grin "I'm glad to hear that. Do your kids have a good chance?'
"We've never lost sectionals" Will said "And by the way…Do you have any interest in tagging along?" Leah didn't miss a beat "I wouldn't miss it."
