Kurt and Emma are talking in the kitchen, making dinner.
"He's on the rebound and has raging family issues," says Kurt.
"At least you're not dating a guy who has mommy issues, cheating issues, or showering issues either." Emma shudders at the memory of Ken Tenaka. "At least it's just an ex-boyfriend," says Emma.
"First, I don't think we're dating."
"Hey, in my mind you're dating 'cuz you have a real relationship, unlike me." They both laugh as they're cooking dinner.

"So, he didn't call?" says Mercedes as they walk around at The Night of the Comet in Lima State Park.
"Or text. Then I realized we've never gotten to that stuff; the calling the texting," replies Kurt.
"But that's pivotal moment in any relationship."
"Right? But I guess the timing was wrong."
"But when is it ever right?"
"I'm not ready Mercy."
"Who is ever ready?"
"Hey, at least I put myself out there."
"Is that what you're calling it?"
"What do you mean?"
"All I'm hearing is reasons why you can't," reasons Mercedes.

Cooper confronts Blaine again. "What is Puck doing here?" asks Cooper.
"Because I came home. He came to make my life miserable, that's how he enjoys his," says Blaine.
"Well he's putting us all at risk; this girl in the hospital could talk."
"She won't; I took care of her."
"You're sure?"
"No, I'm not sure Coop," says Blaine, you can hear the irritation in his voice. "I don't know how well it worked; I'm not as strong as Puck."
"Well what if it doesn't work?"
"I don't know Coop. I'll deal with it."
"Is he worth it? Uncle Blaine, this boy you came back for?" And Blaine leaves without another word.

"What are you doing here Rach?" asks Finn when he spots her at Breadstix.
"I was fighting with my boss over my schedule. One would think that getting bitten by a rabid animal would be counted as a sick day."
"Are you feeling ok?"
"I'm sore."
"Well the doctor gave you something, right?"
"Yes, the wimpy drugs, nothing that will actually help."
"Ha-ha yeah," replies Finn. He hands her a pill bottle. "Here are the pills that I had to take when I was in the car accident, they actually helped."
"Thank you, Finn." Rachel starts to walk away.
"So, you gonna watch the comet later?"
"I don't know, I've thought about it. But I could be talked into going," Finn smiles. "I'll meet you out there in a few."
"Hey Rachel. How you feelin'?" asks Artie as he rolls over to Finn and Rachel.
"Like you care," replies Rachel and she walks away.

"Hey, I got us candles!" says Quinn. She, Mercedes, Sam, and Kurt are at the comet sighting. Quinn passes her fire to Sam.
"Thank you," says Kurt as Sam passes on his fire to Kurt.
"You're welcome," replies Sam. And they share moment until Kurt walks away and unknowingly gives his fire to Blaine.
"Thank you. Hi," says Blaine in his gorgeous voice.
"Hi," says Kurt as he looks back at Sam. Kurt stars to walk away to move away from the awkward moment.
Blaine starts to follow him. "You know that comet has been traveling across space for thousands of years, all alone," says Blaine.
"Yeah Mercedes says it's a 'harbinger of evil'," chuckles Kurt.
"I think it's just a ball of snow and ice, trapped on a path it can't escape. But, once every 145 years it gets to come home." Blaine looks at Kurt. "I'm sorry about yesterday with my brother, I wasn't myself."
"You seem to spend a lot of time apologizing."
"I have a lot to apologize for. Yesterday wasn't about you."
"You didn't tell me you had a brother, who is quite the flirt I might add."
"We're not close. It's complicated."
"Always complicated. He told me about your ex, Kristian."
"What did he say?"
"He broke your heart."
"That was a long time ago."
"When you lose someone, it stays with you. Always reminding you how easy it is to get hurt."
"Kurt…"
"It's ok Blaine. I get it, you have no idea how much I get it. Complicated brother? Check. Complicated ex? Check. Too complicated to even contemplate dating? Double check." Kurt sighs. "It's ok, we met and we talked and it was epic but the sun came up and reality set in." He walks away and blows out his candle.

"I know you," says Rachel when she sees Puck at Breadstix.
"Well that's unfortunate," says Puck.
"I don't know how but your face…heh excuse me, I'm sorry." Rachel walks into the bathroom to pop more pills. She looks into the mirror and sees Puck. He turns into vampire form and bites her again.
