Liam had been tuning out of most of the stuff during Glee Club that wasn't performance related. However, he started tuning in when he heard them talking about Quinn – About Quinn being pregnant – About Quinn being pregnant with Finn's baby. He wasn't going to jump into the gossip mill but that didn't mean he wasn't going to find out whether or not it was true.

This brought Liam to waiting for his sister outside of her class later that day. When she finally emerged, he guided her aside, asking in a hushed tone. "Is it true?"

Quinn laughed at his question. "You're gonna need to be a little more specific there, Liam."

The last thing he wanted to do was ask this where people could hear in case it was wrong, so he pulled Quinn into an empty classroom. Once the door was closed, he came right out with it. "Are you freaking pregnant?"

Quinn took in a sharp intake of air. "Who told you?"

"Who told me?" Liam couldn't believe that was the first thing she had to say about this. "All of Glee is talking about it so it's only a matter of time before the entire school is!" He rubbed his face hard. "Finn did this to you?"

"Finn didn't do anything to me," Quinn defended, but when Liam shot back with, "So he's not the father?", she stayed quiet.

Quinn not saying anything at all was the same as her admitting that he was, at least for Liam. This made him fume beyond words.

Quinn recognized this look on Liam's face before and it made her worry. "Liam, what are you going to do?" He stormed out of the classroom and didn't answer. "Liam!" She quickly went after him.

Liam stormed down the hall and found Finn at his locker.

Finn smiled when Liam approached. "Hey, man, we still helping Blair with…" He didn't get a chance to finish his question because Liam punched him right in the jaw.

"Liam!" Quinn shouted and ran right to Finn, keeping him back from Liam.

Liam was about to ream into Finn again but stopped when Blair seemed to appear in front of him out of thin air.

Blair put his hands on Liam's chest to keep him back. "Walk away, Liam."

"This doesn't concern you, Blair," Liam seethed, still fully intending on beating the crap out of Finn.

"Think of it as repayment for all the times you pulled me out of fights." Blair had no idea what was going on but this wasn't like Liam. At least not the Liam she'd gotten to know. She pushed Liam back, saying to Quinn, "Make sure he sees the nurse or something," as they went.

Blair didn't stop pushing him until they were far enough away. "What the hell was that about?"

"Like you don't know!" Liam shouted back. He didn't believe she didn't know for a second. "Finn tells you everything!"

Blair rubbed her temples because she still had no clue. "Liam, you just pulled a me back there but in order for it to be fully authentic there needs to be a reason. What the hell happened?!"

Liam was pacing back and forth in their empty end of the hallway but stopped when he saw just how out of the loop she was in this. "You don't know that Finn got my sister pregnant? The entire club is talking about it."

Blair's eyes went wide. "What?! No, Liam, I had no clue. I don't pay attention to gossip, it literally doesn't even register with me. Holy crap, Quinn is pregnant?" She crossed her arms and asked a bit too bluntly, "And you're sure Finn's the father?"

Liam did not appreciate that question. "Are you calling my sister a slut?"

Blair held up a defensive hand. "No, I did not say that. You're the only who pointed out that Finn tells me everything and he never told me anything about having sex with Quinn."

Liam threw out a hand and scoffed. "You guys tell each other that stuff? Are you seriously telling me that you'd call Finn after screwing Puck?"

Blair crossed her arms with a hardened expression upon her face. "A) Puck and I aren't having sex – not that it's any of your business, and B) Yeah, Finn would be the first person I'd tell about it. Second would probably be Kurt, not that that matters."

Liam stepped closer to her, saying firmly, "My sister doesn't sleep around. If she says Finn's the father then Finn's the father." He walked away from her before he said or did something he might regret in his anger.

A heavy sigh escaped Blair before she rubbed her face with a groan. She did not want to deal with any of this right now, so she mentally swept it all aside and went to class.


After Liam found out about Quinn's pregnancy he refused to even get near Finn in rehearsal. So between that and the club getting complacent, rehearsal was weird and blah. Blair wasn't even getting into it and the music used to be her escape. Lately it just wasn't doing the trick.

Puck caught up with Blair after the latest rehearsal and draped his arm across her shoulders. "Hey, beautiful. What's up with Liam? He's not normally the broody type."

"He found out that Quinn was pregnant," Blair answered with a sigh.

"Just?" Puck laughed. "Everyone's been talking about it for awhile now."

"Guess he's like me when it comes to gossip – In one ear and out the other with no processing in between." Blair shrugged a bit and stopped at her locker to exchange books for the next class.

Puck leaned against the lockers with crossed arms. "What are you lunch plans now? Don't you usually eat with Finn and Liam?"

Blair hadn't thought of that. "Guess I'll be eating solo for awhile."

"Or you could, oh I don't know, eat with your handsome boyfriend?" Puck smirked at her as he said it.

Blair couldn't resist the moment to tease. "Aww I didn't realize you wanted to spend every second of your free time with me. That's so sweet." She pinched his cheek before kissing his lips.

"Funny," he said to her sarcastically when their lips parted.

"I know." Blair grinned and closed her locker. "The Auditorium is empty today at lunch so I'll hang out there and rehearse a song I've been working on."

This intrigued Puck a little bit. "Something other than Glee assignments?"

"Yep." Blair had no shame in admitting that. "Glee isn't cutting it anymore in the getting me out of my head department so I'm expressing my emotions elsewhere." Before parting for class, she added in, "If you're interested in joining me bring your guitar." She gave him a quick peck on the cheek before darting off to class seconds before the late bell rang.


Blair didn't make it to the Auditorium at lunch because Sue cornered her and made it clear it was expected they eat lunch together, so that's what they did. Before sitting next to Sue on the bleachers at the football field, Blair sent Puck a text saying there was a change of plans.

"No phones during meals," Sue scolded.

"The rule is no phones during supper," Blair countered, but put it into her bag anyway. "What did you want to talk to me about?"

Sue answered nonchalantly. "Can't a guardian and their ward have a nice meal together without there being an ulterior motive?"

Blair blinked a few times before answering. "With any other guardian and ward, sure, but us? That's funny."

Sue had to give her that one. "You make a good point."

Blair rolled her hands for Sue to get a move on. "Well…what is this about?"

Sue reached into her pocket and handed Blair a prescription bottle. "You haven't been taking your medicine. You could have at least put in the effort of making it look like you have been by flushing a pill a day down the toilet. Not even bothering to open the bottle? That's just lazy."

Blair didn't take the bottle away from Sue. "I don't like how they make me feel. I feel numb on them and hey, I've been fine without them."

"Your doctor said it would take time to find the right dosage." Sue was trying her best to not completely lose it on her about how important this was.

"You mean the same doctor whose profession is made up entirely of, and I quote you, 'Whacko Quacks'?" Blair raised her brow in a 'seriously' manner.

"This is different and you know it." Sue took Blair's hand and put the pill bottle right into it. "If you do not start taking your meds then no Glee club."

Blair scoffed incredulously. "You can't do that, Sue."

"Oh, yes I can." Sue stood up because she was almost done with this conversation. "I am going to make sure you take them every day and I will attend every session with you where the dosage is concerned. What happened before is not going to happen again. Not on my watch." She placed a pair of sunglasses over her eyes and walked away.

Blair scoffed again because she couldn't believe this was happening and yet it was. "Dammit," she seethed before taking the pill with a gulp of soda. Now this really wasn't going to be a good day.


At the next Glee rehearsal, Blair was out of it. She couldn't even get excited about the fact that Mr Schue was giving them a competition – Boys vs Girls to create a mashup of their choice, and whichever team wins gets to choose the number they do for Sectionals.

When Blair heard this she just mimicked the others in their expressions but didn't really feel what she was expressing. She didn't really feel anything. Mr Schue noticed this and asked her to stay after.

"Blair, uhm, don't take this the wrong way but are you stoned?" That was the only thing Mr Schue could think of to explain the change in her.

"If I was stoned I'd be feeling something." Blair pointed towards the door. "Can I go?"

Mr Schue wasn't going to let her leave until he got to the bottom of this. "Not yet. Blair, what's going on with you?"

Blair went into her bag and took out her pill bottle. "Sue made her start taking these again. Said I wouldn't be allowed in Glee if I didn't."

Mr Schue looked at the list of side effects with wide eyes. "Wow. Uhm, is your doctor sure this is the right stuff for you?"

Blair took the bottle back with a shrug and left the choir room without asking for permission this time.

Mr Schue wasn't sure if it was his place to say anything to Sue about what was going on, but he was going to do it anyway. He grabbed his satchel and went straight to Sue's office.

Sue looked up from her notebook and saw Mr Schue standing in her doorway. "Hello, William. What can I do for you?"

Mr Schue walked into her office and closed the door behind him. "I'm concerned about Blair. She – she's not herself. She's like a walking shell of herself and I think it has to do with the meds she's on."

Sue really wanted to be mad at Mr Schue for butting his nose in where it didn't belong, but she couldn't do that. Not when it came to this, anyway. "I know. Her doctors say this is what she needs to be on to keep what happened before from happening again but she's not herself when she takes them. I hate admitting this, but I do not know what to do."

Mr Schue took a seat in the empty chair in front of her desk. "Have you tried getting a second opinion? Or maybe tried something more homeopathic?"

"I've gotten second and third opinions. They all agree it's the correct medication and just need to find the right dosage." Sue shook her head and looked away.

Mr Schue scooted forward in his seat a little. "As long as Blair's been in Glee club, I haven't seen her like this. So I'm guessing she hasn't been on the medication for awhile now. Maybe she doesn't need it as much as the doctors think she does? I mean, she's doing great. She's got friends, Glee Club, a boyfriend."

Sue held up her hand to keep him from going any further. "I'm going to stop you right there, William. You didn't find Blair the way I did. You didn't see what I saw. I am not going to ignore the fact that she has problems."

"I'm not saying you should. I'm just saying maybe it needs to be addressed differently." Mr Schue was honestly surprised that Sue was actually talking to him about this, but it was clear that despite how insane Sue was that she really cared about Blair.

"I will take this conversation into consideration but we are never to speak of this again." Sue returned to her notebook and waved her hand to the door. "You can leave now."

Mr Schue wasn't going to push his luck so he left without another word.


At dinner that night, Sue noticed how Blair just pushed the food around on her plate like a zombie. "That's it." She got to her feet and went into Blair's backpack.

"What are you doing?" Blair wasn't even mad that Sue was going through her stuff, she just wanted to know.

Sue found the pill bottle and went to the sink to dump them, which she did. "I am not going to sit by and watch these destroy you. We will find something else to try, but it is not going to be this."

Blair got up from her seat and went over to Sue. "Thank you."

Sue just nodded her hear, indicating that she'd been heard. "You're welcome."


After a couple days of feeling sick to her stomach and such because of cutting the pills cold turkey, Blair was starting to feel like herself again and couldn't wait to do the mash-up competition. She was also thinking about the new doc Sue wanted her to see. It was some guy in the next town over but his mission statement or whatever was different than the local ones so perhaps he could actually help her. It was worth a shot and if it meant she didn't have to take those pills anymore then Blair was all for it. Anyway, Blair didn't think about that at the moment and just focused on the competition. Unfortunately, none of the other girls were as interested. Well, none but Rachel.

Blair couldn't believe it when Mercedes said to wing it. "We can't wing it! I'm with Rachel on this one. We have to come up with something and kick the boys asses!"

Santana pointed at her saying, "Weren't you all like 'okay, whatever' the other day about all this?"

Blair crossed her arms. "I was on my meds at the time, that doesn't count."

"You were on your meds?" Rachel was surprised to hear that. "I thought that was you off your meds."

"Yeah…no." Blair didn't want to talk about it anymore so she clapped her hands together. "So are we going to do this or what?" It turned out to be or what. All they voted on was the mashup of 'Walking on Sunshine' and 'Halo' but other than that, the majority wanted to wing it. So that was apparently the plan.


They really needed to rethink their plan because when the guys performed their mashup a few days later of 'It's My Life' and 'Confessions' they killed it. Blair sat with the rest of the girls and looked on in awe. It was really good and hell, she'd have voted for them if she could. Well, that was her thought for one second then her competitive side kicked in. She leaned over and whispered to Rachel, "So…are we still winging it or what?"

Rachel shook her head with a jaw-drop because she, too, was in awe of the performance and wanted to beat the boys even more than before.

At the end of the performance Blair had to cheer and clap because it was just that good. At the 'excuse me' expressions she got from the rest of the girls because of it, she said, "Competition or not, they deserve the applause. Besides, it gives me a gauge of how well ours needs to be so we can beat them."

"Good luck with that, ladies," Puck called over to them with laughter.

"Don't need luck," Blair countered with. "We've got more talent than you."

Even Liam got into it, saying, "We'll see about that."

"Oh, you will." Blair walked by them as she waved her hand in a shooing motion before leaving the room to get to class.


Blair sat across her new shrink later that day and drummed on the arm of the chair. Her session was supposed to be for an hour but already they've gone through half of that in complete silence. Other than him introducing himself as 'Mr Jones, but please call me Doc' he said nothing to her. It was really weird and finally Blair had to break the silence. "Are you going to say anything or what?"

"I've been waiting for you," Doc answered as he picked up his clipboard. "You've broken the record, by the way. No other patient of mine has sat in silence for this long. They usually crack about ten minutes in."

"Well, I'm not like most people." Blair sounded pretty smug about that. "So you start out all your sessions trying to crack your patients instead of getting to know them?"

Doc made a note as he answered. "It gives me a sense of the kind of person you are. The whole time you've been sitting there not only have you analyzed me but the room. You've taken in every detail and can be quite patient, depending on the circumstances. In spite of this patience you get frustrated and angry and I would bet you lash out physically to other people and yourself." He looked away from his notes to ask her, "How am I doing so far?"

Blair crossed her sleeve covered arms. "I bet you got all that from my other doctors."

"Nope," Doc corrected. "I never read the reports of transfer patients until after I meet with them. I don't want my judgement to be clouded by another person's perspective. I prefer to formulate my own first. I did however read the medication you were prescribed and personally I wouldn't have recommended it."

This caught Blair's attention. "Why?"

"Well, for one thing it doesn't have the best track record in teenagers. I bet you felt like a zombie when you were on it. This is catered more toward adults whose brains have fully developed, but not all in my field would agree me with." Doc set his clipboard aside. "I try not to prescribe medication unless it's deemed absolutely necessary. I believe in trying other things first – lifestyle changes, diet, support systems, non-medicinal things that can help naturally produce what your body lacks. If you are willing to try this first then we'll get started on that route, but if you would rather to get straight to the medication we can try that, too."

"No meds, please." Blair was quick to answer that. "I'm all for drinking kale smoothies or whatever else instead of experimenting with medication."

Doc nodded his head. "Alright. Well, then, let's get started. When did these feelings first begin?"

Blair took a deep breath and started from the beginning – how things didn't get bad until her parents died, and went on from there until two hours later she had told him everything. There was no point in holding anything back because it wouldn't have helped anything.

When Blair realized what time it was, her eyes went wide. "Don't you have like other patients or something? I was only supposed to be in here for an hour."

"Nope," Doc once again corrected. "I always allot three hours for new patients." When he smiled lines appeared upon his elderly face that just seemed to make him wiser. "I've been doing this a long time. Learning tricks of the trade comes with the territory."

Blair narrowed her eyes at him a little bit. "I'm not sure if you're evil or brilliant."

Doc stood up and walked with Blair to the door since their session was over. "Both. Both is good." He handed Blair a few sheets of paper. "Here is a guideline of things to try do and try to avoid. Keep a journal to document what you've done and we'll discuss this at your next session."

Blair accepted the papers and gave him a bit of a salute. "Later, Doc." She walked down the hall to the waiting room where Sue sat. "I'm alive!" she exclaimed like Dr Frankenstein said 'it's alive!'.

Sue stood up and instantly wanted to know. "Well? Is he more of a quack than the others?"

Blair nodded affirmative. "Yes, but in a good way. Let's go home and I'll tell you all about it."


That night, Blair laid in the back of Puck's truck with him and looked up at the sky. "What are you thinking about?" he asked her. "You've hardly said two words to me all night."

"Trying to come up with a way to kick your butt at the mash-up." Blair moved to look at Puck with a grin before returning her head to his torso that she was using as a pillow.

"You should go to the school nurse and get some of that Vitamin D-whatever stuff. It worked wonders on us." Puck winced as soon as Blair shot up into a sitting position and glared at him. "And I wasn't supposed to tell you that."

"You took something?!" Blair scoffed incredulously and hopped out of the truck. "How could you be so stupid! Drugs?!"

Puck thought she was overreacting just a little bit. "We got them from the school nurse. I'd hardly call them drugs." He got out of the truck bed to stand by her. "Why are you flipping out about this?"

Blair crossed her arms and looked away before answering. "I had a friend who was an addict. He didn't care who he hurt as long as he got what he wanted and in the end it almost killed him."

Now it was Pucks turn to scoff incredulously. "I'm not an addict, Blair."

"And yet you took something." Blair shook her head and started walking away.

Puck still thought she was making too big a deal about this. "Where are you going?"

"Home!" Blair shouted back then started running. She needed some time and space to process what Puck just told her. All the guys took something to make them perform better. They all wanted to cut corners instead of actually putting in the work. They took a shortcut that could open a door into something worse and Blair was not dealing with this information well.

As soon as Blair was far enough away from the parking lot, she stopped and pulled out her cellphone. "Rachel? Yeah, it's me. I know what made the guys' set pop…"


Blair thought at the rehearsal for their own mash-up the next day that they were going to tell Mr Schue about the boys taking something but that is so not what happened. Instead of that happening, all the girls except for Blair wanted to go to the nurse to get what the boys were given.

Upon hearing this, Blair felt like her head was going to explode. "You can't be serious." She looked at all the serious faces and stopped at Rachel who didn't even want to meet her eyes. "Rachel, come on."

"I'm not going to be humiliated again." Rachel straightened her posture confidently. "I am willing to do whatever it takes to get ahead."

"So you'd rather cheat and ruin your integrity and risk the possibility of getting hooked on what I'm sure the nurse is illegally handing out just to win a little contest?" Blair was hoping to have gotten through to someone, but she didn't. "Wow…you can count me out then. I want nothing to do with this."

"You're not even going to perform with us?" Rachel wasn't expecting that.

"If you're going to take drugs to do it, then no I'm not." Blair felt ashamed for the entire Glee club and walked out of the girl's rehearsal without another word.

Out in the hall, she spotted Puck and tried to go in the opposite direction but he caught up with her.

"Blair, hold up." Puck got in front of her to block her path. "You can't seriously still be pissed at me."

"I can't?" Blair shot back.

Puck sighed. "Come on, Han. I'll never do anything like that again. Okay? I promise and if I ever break that promise you have full permission to punch me black and blue." He stepped forward with that crooked smirk of his. "Do you forgive me?"

Blair really wanted to stay pissed at him, and she still was but she didn't want to be angry all the time so she was going to try a different approach. "I'm inching towards forgiving you."

"I'll take that." Puck kissed Blair gently before taking her hand. "Come on, I'll walk you to class."


The girl's performance was after lunch in the choir room the following day, but Blair wanted to talk to Mr Schue before then so she got there earlier than needed. When he walked into the room, she spoke before he had a chance to even greet her. "I wanted to let you know that I'm not going to be performing with the girls today. But I would like to perform for you a mash-up I created, not for the competition but just because. I'll explain why I'm not performing with the girls after everything. That's it."

Mr Schue wanted to ask Blair what that was all about but didn't get a chance because the entirety of the Glee club filed into the room – the boys to take seats and the girl- all but Blair – to their spots on the risers for the performance. Once Ms Pillbury, the judge for the competition, for seated Rachel spoke a mile a minute about how their song choice represented the world as a whole because everyone needs light, sunshine, and angels – Or something like that. Blair could hardly make a word out because she was talking so quickly.

Liam leaned over to whisper to Blair who was sitting next to him, "Why aren't you performing with them?"

Blair sat up straighter, saying, "I'll explain it later."

The girls started their performance. Their mashup was of 'Walking On Sunshine' and 'Halo'. Their dancing was fast and upbeat and if their smiles were any bigger then they'd probably have broken their jaw bones. Blair shook her head at this display but kept her mouth shut. She'd tell Mr Schue when it was time.

At the end of Rachel's very high note, the set ended and Mr Schue was ecstatic. Blair would have had a spit-take moment if she was drinking something when Mr Schue told them to do whatever it was they did to perform like that. "Wow…" she said to herself.

"Blair has asked to perform a mashup of her own. Now this isn't for the competition, so enjoy." Mr Schue returned to his seat next to Emma as Blair set a stool on the riser and indicated for the band to start playing her mashup of 'Castle on the Hill' and 'Don't Stop Believing'.

Mr Schue could see the emotion radiating off Blair with every lyric she sang. Now this was the Blair he'd come to know since she joined Glee club. This Blair had feeling and didn't shy away from expressing it. Clearly she'd found something to help her better and he felt so glad for her.

At the end of the song, everyone clapped. Kurt even got to his feet, saying, "That was beautiful, jerk."

Blair smiled. "Thanks, loser." She was about to ask to speak to Mr Schue alone but the bell rang so they all had to get to class. Blair went over to him before he left though. "Mr Schue, I need to tell you something."

"Can it wait?" Mr Schue asked hopefully. "It's not good for a teacher to show up late to class and all."

Blair nodded, "Sure," and she almost left it at that but stopped herself. "Actually, you know what, no."

Mr Schue wasn't expecting that. "What?"

Blair looked around to make sure they were alone before speaking. "What I have to tell you is important and you're not leaving here until you hear it."

Okay, now Mr Schue was worrying a little bit and started taking her seriously. "Okay, Blair. What is it?"

Now that Blair had his attention she told him everything that she knew, consequences be damned.


Blair was on her way to the next Glee rehearsal when Sue walked up to her and gave her a one armed hug. "Uh…hi…"

"Hi, sweets. Gosh, I can't express how excited I am for today." Sue's smile was beaming but sarcastically so.

Blair was starting to get a really weird vibe from Sue, even more than normal. "Uh…why?"

"You haven't heard?" Sue stopped walking with her. "I'm the new co-director of Glee club since after the whole enhancement drug debacle, William isn't deemed capable of running the show alone anymore." She snapped her fingers and pointed at Blair with a click. "See you in there."

Blair was too stunned to move. Sue was going to be a part of Glee club now? This was either going to be epic or a disaster. "It's gonna be an epic disaster." With that frame of mind, she took a deep preparatory breath and walked into rehearsal.
