Episode 602 – Fire Meets Gasoline – September 2014
(MORNING [LIMA]: The episode starts with Rachel arranging the sheet music on the floor. Kitty walks in.)
KITTY: (jokingly) Rachel, you do know that this place has to have members first before you arrange those sheet music, right?
RACHEL: (chuckles) Yeah, I know, I just don't have anything much to do today. I wanted to stay home and watch Funny Girl over and over again until I pass out but in some weird way, a part of me wanted to be here, doing all these Glee stuff even though we don't have members yet.
KITTY: (looks around the choir room) You know, I really miss everyone, including Blaine who always get the solos. I just, (sighs) want everything to go back to normal.
RACHEL: (pats Kitty's back) Don't worry, Kitty. I'm a hundred percent sure there are a lot of students here that wants to join us but it's only Sue Sylvester that keeps them from doing so.
KITTY: (ignores Rachel) I wish we didn't lose Nationals last year. I also wish that I took the chance of beating the crap out of that Jean Baptiste douchebag when I had it in my hands, (sits on a chair)
RACHEL: Kitty, I know you miss everyone, but Marley and Unique gave up on McKinley, they're happy now. This is hard, yes, but it is what it is.
KITTY: (face slightly lights up) What about Jake and Ryder? We haven't tried talking to them, right?
RACHEL: Kitty, don't get your hopes up. They might've moved on, just like what Unique and Marley did. I don't want you to get heartbroken again.
KITTY: (stands up) No, I know Jake and Ryder loves performing more than Marley and Unique, even me. (excited) I just need to give them a little talk and maybe I'll come back here with them.
RACHEL: (shakes her head) You're going to convince them? (Kitty nods) Kitty, no, I will. You've done enough, I mean; you already contributed some of your money to reinstate the Glee Club. It's too much.
KITTY: Rachel, it's fine, and besides, I haven't felt this hopeful since forever. Plus, I wanted to patch things up between me and the old noobs (chuckles) and please don't try to convince me not to because I already made up my mind.
RACHEL: (hesitates) Alright, fine, go ahead, it's not like I can do anything to stop you. But if you do need anything, just call me, okay?
KITTY: Thank you! (pulls Rachel to a tight hug) Now, I got to go, (pulls back)
(Rachel nods. Kitty grins, pulls out her phone, sent a text message to Jake and Ryder)
GLEE TITLE CARD
(MORNING [LIMA]: The scene starts with Ryder sitting inside the Library, having a hard time understanding Jake's notes. Jake walks up to him.)
JAKE: (bitter) Guess what happened just a couple of minutes ago? (sits across Ryder)
RYDER: (looks at Jake, grins) Please tell me that they released that movie that we are dying to see earlier than it should.
JAKE: (shakes head) No, it's not, and it's impossible to do that, Ryder, (Ryder shrugs), no, this is very different.
RYDER: (slightly nervous) You're kind of creeping me out, what is it? (closes Jake's notebook)
JAKE: (sighs) It's Kitty, (Ryder's face lights up) She told me that she's going here because she wanted to talk to us about something.
RYDER: (smiles wide) Really?! (Jake sighs and nods) That's great!
JAKE: (gives Ryder a glare) Didn't you hear what I just said, man? Kitty Wilde is coming here, to disturb us.
RYDER: (confused) Why are you mad? It's Kitty, she's our friend, best friend actually, right?
JAKE: Was, was our friend, until she decided to ignore us and don't hear what we have to say about Sue forcing us to transfer.
RYDER: But she's going here now, isn't she? I'm pretty sure she's going here to finally hear us out (Jake rolls his eyes) Don't you miss her? Because I do.
JAKE: (hesitates) No, I don't.
RYDER: Oh come on, Jake. I know you miss her, and Marley and Unique.
(Jake looks behind Ryder, sighs when he saw Kitty smiling at them. Ryder looks back as well and grins when he saw Kitty.)
RYDER: Kitty! (runs up to Kitty and they hug) Oh my God, I missed you so much!
KITTY: (laughs quietly, pulls back) You guys don't know how much I missed you.
RYDER: (looks at Jake) Jake?
JAKE: (sighs, slouches further into his chair) What do you want, Kitty? Say it fast because Ryder and I still has to go to class.
KITTY: Okay, I uh (takes a deep breath, sits across Jake) Look, Jake, I know that the things between us were messy so I decided to stop by here and at least try to fix it.
(Ryder sits between Kitty and Jake, confused on why Jake's acting this way.)
JAKE: Well, you should've thought about that before you decided to make things such a big deal and act like our friendship didn't even exist, (stands up, angry) I have to go to class, this is wasting my time.
(Jake storms out. Ryder is still confused. Kitty is stunned.)
KITTY: (sad) Did that just really happen? (looks at Ryder)
RYDER: I'm sorry about that, Kitty, (looks at Jake's direction) I honestly don't know what happened, I mean, he told me that you said you'll be here and that's where he started to be all grumpy and stuff, (looks back to Kitty)
KITTY: (to herself) Rachel's right, I shouldn't have come here.
RYDER: (heard her) Rachel? Did I just hear that right?
KITTY: (sighs, nods) Yeah, you're right. She told me not to even try to talk to you both. But I did, and honestly, I think I did the wrong thing, again.
RYDER: (confused) I'm confused, first, how did you and Rachel knew each other? Is she in Lima?
KITTY: (nods) Yeah, she is. She's actually the reason why there's a Glee Club again at McKinley.
RYDER: (shocked) Glee Club? Okay, that got me even more confused. Can you please elaborate? How did she do that, I mean, didn't Sue finally got what she wanted when she disbanded the club?
KITTY: Yes, but Rachel and I was able to talk it all out with the Superintendent and he agreed to reinstate the club one more time and prove not just to him, but also to Sue that the club deserves to stay permanently in McKinley High.
RYDER: (smiles) So now I finally get what you're going to say. You want me and Jake to come back to McKinley High, right?
KITTY: Well, basically, that and I also wanted to put the things that happened in the past behind us and start over as best friends again. But with what Jake showed me just a few seconds ago, he's not interested anymore.
RYDER: You didn't ask me though, (Kitty looks at him confused, he grins)
KITTY: Well, do you want to?
RYDER: In all honesty, yes, I do, (Kitty smiles) I miss everything about McKinley, but (Kitty's smile fades) I'm sure Jake also wanted to go back, he just, (bites his lip) needs a little more time. But don't get me wrong, I really wanted to come back, (leans forward to Kitty) this school is literally hell.
KITTY: (chuckles) Thank you, Ryder. You're the only person that didn't gave up on me or on McKinley. Marley and Unique already did.
RYDER: (hugs Kitty) Don't worry, we'll be complete soon, we all just need some more time to process things (pulls back) But I do have to go find Jake before he do another stupid thing.
(Kitty stands up with a satisfied smile. Ryder stands as well, they gave each other one last hug before Ryder watches Kitty walk away. The school bell rings.)
(MORNING [LIMA]: The next scene starts with Jake walking back and forth on the stage, occasionally sighing heavily as Adam Lambert's "Whataya Want From Me" starts playing.)
JAKE:
Hey, slow it down
Whataya want from me
Whataya want from me
Yeah, I'm afraid
Whataya want from me
Whataya want from me
There might have been a time
When I would give myself away
Ooh, once upon a time
I didn't give a damn
But now here we are
So whataya want from me
Whataya want from me
(Ryder then walks in and sing his part, startling Jake.)
RYDER:
Just don't give up
JAKE:
I'm working it out
RYDER:
Please don't give in
I won't let you down
(Jake becomes angsty as he sings his parts, but not entirely to Ryder.)
JAKE:
It messed me up, need a second to breathe
Just keep coming around
JAKE (RYDER):
Hey, whataya want from me (whataya want from me)
Whataya want from me
Whataya want from me (whataya want from me)
(Jake softens, looking down on the stage floor.)
JAKE:
Just don't give up on me
Hey!
(Ryder puts a hand on Jake's shoulder.)
RYDER:
I won't let you down
No, I won't let you down
RYDER (JAKE):
(So!)
Just don't (with JAKE: give up)
(I'm workin' it out)
Please don't give in
I won't let you down
It messed me up, (Oh it messed me up!)
Need a second to breathe
Just keep coming around
(Hey!) whataya want from me
(Whataya want from me)
Whataya want from me
(Whataya want from me)
Whataya want from me
RYDER: (breaths heavily) Are you okay, man?
JAKE: (raises eyebrow) What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in class already?
RYDER: (jokingly) Well, Dad, I should be asking you the same thing. (chuckles)
(Jake sits on the edge of the stage. Ryder sits beside him.)
JAKE: You think I acted like a huge baby a while ago? (looks at Ryder)
RYDER: Yes, you were acting like a child. I really didn't expect that, especially from you, (Jake scoffs) I'm serious though, so, is there a reason why you did that?
JAKE: (shrugs) I don't know, I mean we haven't had any communication with her at all this past summer. And then one day, she'll just pop out of nowhere. I guess I was just, shocked?
RYDER: Well that was because she was hurt and she felt like we abandoned her. She has the right to be mad though.
JAKE: I'm not saying that she has no right to be mad, but she could've at least gave us a chance to explain everything.
RYDER: Well this is Kitty Wilde we're talking about. She might be a bitchy, snarky cheerleader on the outside, she's really sensitive on the inside so I quickly understood why she did that.
JAKE: Are you taking her side now? (gives Ryder a glare)
RYDER: (shakes head) I'm taking nobodies side here, Jake. We all made mistakes. What I'm saying here is that, shouldn't we put all the awful things that happened to our friendship behind us, go back to where we left and start from there?
JAKE: What are you trying to imply, Ryder?
RYDER: (sighs) Ugh, fine. Kitty came here to ask us if we wanted to go back to McKinley because she and Rachel rebooted it.
JAKE: I don't really care about McKinley or that stupid little Glee Club anymore, (sees Ryder frown. He softens) Well, do you want to go back there?
RYDER: I-I mean, yeah, I do. But I'm not going to if you're going to stay here. I'm not going to leave you here, y'know?
JAKE: (confused) Why? You could just leave me here, I'll be fine, really.
RYDER: You're my best friend, we have each others backs now, right? So that means if you leave, I leave and vice versa.
JAKE: (chuckles) We're best friends, not conjoined twins, Ryder.
RYDER: (blushes) You know what I mean, sheesh.
JAKE: (stares to empty seats) I don't know, man. I guess I'll think about it?
RYDER: (cheerful) Great!
JAKE: Now let's go before Ms. Mathematics bitch out on us again,
(Jake stands up. Jake helps Ryder stand up by pulling his arms. Ryder smiled, Jake slings his arms over Ryder's shoulders then they started to walk. Ryder blushed.)
(MORNING [LIMA]: The next scene starts with Coach Roz Washington giving a talk to her Cheerios! with Sue Sylvester watching them from afar.)
ROZ: Okay, listen up, champions (her students smiles), in a few months, we have another competition, and there is no way in hell that we're going to lose. We almost lost last year, kiddos and as a coach, I was disappointed, but (smiles) I won't be harsh on y'all because I am not old as a hill and I am not carrying a vampire baby and my vagina is still flapping (some of her students made a face)
SUE: (via megaphone) Uh, Roz, you do know that I am here, right?
ROZ: (growls) I don't care! (to her students) Now, y'all still remember what we rehearsed, right? (students hums) praise Jesus! Why don't y'all show me and I'll judge whether if y'all still need some improvements or whatever, yes? (looks at a guy and a girl) Mason and Madison, I want to hear them vocals, alright?
(Mason and Madison stands up together with the other cheerleaders. Madison walks over the table where a boombox were placed, she pressed the PLAY button and Gwen Stefani's "Baby Don't Lie" starts playing)
MASON:
Uh huh, here we go
MADISON:
We been walking down this road for sometime
And you love, and you love me good, no lie
But there's something behind those eyes, those eyes
That you can't, that you can't disguise, disguise
(At the entrance of the gym, a blonde football jock ((SPENCER)) stares at the performance in awe, a smile on his face present before walking away.)
MASON and MADISON (THE CHEERIOS):
Baby don't, baby don't, baby don't lie
(I don't wanna cry no longer)
Baby don't, baby don't, baby don't lie
(I'm a' need a love that's stronger)
I'll tell you know, tell you know, tell you know why, know why
If we ever give up, then we're gonna die
Look me in the eye
(Baby don't lie)
(Rachel then walks inside the gymnasium, amazed by what she is seeing. Sue sees her and becomes bitter.)
MADISON (MASON with THE CHEERIOS):
Baby tell me there's nothing below (ooh)
Baby tell me there's nothing below (here we go, come on!)
Baby don't, baby don't, baby don't lie
(I don't wanna cry no longer)
Baby don't, baby don't, baby don't lie
(I'm a' need a love that's stronger)
I'll tell you know, tell you know, tell you know why, know why
If we ever give up, then we're gonna die
(Look me in the eye
Baby don't lie)
(Rachel whispers something to Roz. Roz nods and Sue starts walking down the stairs.)
MADISON, MASON and THE CHEERIOS:
Baby don't lie
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Baby don't lie
(The music stops, Roz and Rachel cheers, Mason and Madison hugs each other and the other cheerleaders claps after.)
RACHEL: (walks closer to Mason and Madison) Hello there, guys! That was amazing!
MASON: (catches breath) Hello, Ms..?
RACHEL: (stretches arm, she and Mason shakes hands) Rachel, Rachel Berry.
MASON: Nice to meet you, Ms. Berry. I'm Mason.
MADISON: I'm Madison. And we're twins (she and Mason grins)
RACHEL: (confused, a little shocked) T-twins? You don't look like twins, no offense.
MADISON: Yeah, well that's because I'm older than him..
MASON: (voice a little louder) By four seconds!
MADISON: (eyeroll) I learned a lot from those four seconds, Mason, so shush.
MASON: (to Rachel) She might be older than me, I'm still way more mature than her.
MADISON: (scoffs) Says the one who was caught having a "tea party" with all his stuff toys a couple weeks ago!
RACHEL: O-Okay, enough, you guys. I, I'm here to talk to the both of you about Glee Club. (smiles)
MASON: (cheerful) I love singing!
MADISON: I love it more! (Mason gently pushes her. She groans) Stop it, Mason!
MASON: (pouts) I love singing more than you do, liar!
MADISON: (eyeroll, murmurs) "I'm way more mature than her" my butt.
RACHEL: (interrupts) So, as I was saying, I wanted to talk to you guys about the newly reinstated Glee Club. I just saw the both of you sing and dance just a few moments ago and I can say that the both of you are really really talented, (Mason squeals, Madison grumpily slaps his arm) So now, I was wondering if the both of you can join the Glee Cl-
SUE: (via megaphone) Lemme stop you right there, Jew-ciest Flop of All, (walks closer to Rachel and Mason and Madison) There is no way in hell I'm letting one of my top cheerleaders join the a crappy Glee Club ever again, (chuckles sarcastically) Oh and I heard that you're trying to convince those former Glee Clubbers that I transferred to come back here and rejoin your little club (Rachel tenses) I would like you to know that even if you were able to convince them, I will never allow them to go back here. This is my school, my rules, and my number one rule is to not allow those four transvestites ruin the halls of McKinley High.
RACHEL: (confident) I would also like to inform you that I already talked this out with the district board and the Superintendent and it was easy for them to allow any of those four students enroll back here since they really didn't have any bad record, (smiles. Sue tries not to frown) and, I don't know why you're not allowing any of the cheerleaders to join the Glee Club when the same Glee Club helped Santana Lopez, Quinn Fabray and Brittany Pierce achieve their own dreams, look at where they are now and then when you ask who helped them, they're going to say the Glee Club and not the Cheerios and God knows not even someone named Sue Sylvester.
SUE: (angry) How dare you talk to me like that!
RACHEL: Because you've made our lives miserable for the past years and I will never ever allow you to that ever again, Sue Sylvester.
(Roz made an 'oooh' sound behind them. Rachel huffs as she walks away, leaving Sue frustrated with anger.)
RACHEL: (turns around, smirks) Sue Sylvester, if you want war, then this is the start of world war glee!
(MORNING [LIMA]: The next scene starts with Roderick walking down the hallways of McKinley High while having a voiceover.)
RODERICK: (voiceover) Did you hear the joke about the fat kid who always wears headphones? He wears them so he doesn't have to hear your lame-ass fat jokes. 'Cause, believe me, I've heard them all. And this is my senior year. It's supposed to be the best year of my life, but instead I'm a no-name transfer from Chicago, and not one of these McKinley douche bags has bothered to talk to me. (SPENCER shoves him to a locker and a chorus of laugh is heard) Whatever. Who needs them? I've got my boys: Tupac, Hendrix, Jagger, Sinatra. Music might be my only friend, but it's the only friend that I need. (stops in front of the bulletin board. Smiles at the empty sign up sheet for the Glee Club.) Still wouldn't kill me to meet some people here. Maybe make some friends? Some real friends.
JOIN THE NEW DIRECTIONS!
SIGN UP NOW, AUDITIONS ON WEDNESDAY!
(The scene then cuts to Roderick nervously standing on the stage, with Rachel and Kitty waiting for him to speak.)
RODERICK: (stutters) H-Hi, my name's Roderick and I, I wanted to audition for the Glee Club.
RACHEL: (ecstatic) Alright, Roderick. Take your time and show us what you've got.
(Roderick smiles as The Rocketboys' "Viva Voce" starts playing.)
RODERICK:
Pretty soon now
I hope I find my voice
Not that I have much
Much of a choice
Because I've been searching high
I've been searching low
To try and find it
I guess it's still small
To all the people I know that listen
Listen to me, hallelujah
To all the people I know that prayed for me
For my safety, hallelujah
Can you hear me now?
Can you hear me now?
I'm singing out as loud as I know how
But am I loud enough?
I got my voice
And you got yours
So let's make a little noise
(Uh oh ooh) All together now
Can you hear me now?
Can you hear me now?
I'm singing out as loud as I know how
But am I loud enough?
I got my voice
And you got yours
So let's make a little noise
(Uh oh ooh) All together now
(Rachel looks at Kitty, amazed by Roderick's performance. Kitty nods, smiling.)
RACHEL: (to Roderick) Oh my God, Roderick! That was really really awesome! The results will be posted by Friday! Thank you for auditioning!
RODERICK: Thank you! (walks out of the stage with a proud face on)
KITTY: (to Rachel) You do know what you just said is a code for "we're sorry, you suck, go home and cry to your momma", right? (chuckles)
RACHEL: (confused) What? No it's not, (Kitty chuckles) I just said that because there's at least four more people that we have to see.
KITTY: I'm pretty sure two of those "four people" are just a hoax, Rachel.
RACHEL: Whatever, (shouts) NEXT!
(NOON [NEXT]: The next scene is cut into four as Kitty, Marley, Rachel and Unique sings Sia's "Fire Meet Gasoline" in different places; Kitty sings in the choir room, Marley in the bar, Rachel in the auditorium and Unique in her school's auditorium)
(Kitty starts the song as she stares the trophies that the Glee Club won before.)
KITTY:
It's dangerous to fall in love
But I want to burn with you tonight
Hurt me
(The scene cuts to Unique singing on a stage, a spotlight shining on her.)
UNIQUE:
There's two of us
We're certain with desire
The pleasure's pain and fire
Burn me
(The scene cuts to Rachel singing as she sits on top of the piano.)
RACHEL:
So come on
I'll take you on, take you on
I ache for love ache for us
Why don't you come
Don't you come a little closer
(The scene cuts to Marley singing at the bar as people watches her.)
MARLEY:
So come on now
Strike the match, strike the match now
We're a perfect match, perfect somehow
We were meant for one another
Come a little closer
(Then Kitty starts having flashbacks of her happy times in Glee Club, specifically that time where they were all watching the video of Blaine Anderson twerking which was shot by Tina Cohen-Chang.)
KITTY with MARLEY, RACHEL and UNIQUE:
Flame that came from me
Fire meet gasoline
Fire meet gasoline
I'm burning alive
I can barely breathe
When you're here loving me
Fire meet gasoline
Fire meet gasoline
(This time, Rachel starts having flashbacks of her times in Glee Club, specifically that time where they won Nationals in Chicago.)
RACHEL with KITTY, MARLEY and UNIQUE:
I got all I need
When you came after me
Fire meet gasoline
I'm burning alive
And I can barely breathe,
When you're here loving me
Fire meet gasoline
Burn with me tonight
(The next scene cuts to Kitty, Marley, Rachel and Unique wearing black dresses, sitting on stools with their own spotlight shining down on them as they sing their pain.)
MARLEY and UNIQUE:
But it's a bad death
Certain death
But I want what I want
And I got to get it
When the fire dies
Dark in the skies
Hot as a match
Only smoke is left
KITTY and RACHEL:
But it's a bad death
Certain death
But I want what I want
And I got to get it
When the fire dies
Dark in the skies
Hot as a match
Only smoke is left
MARLEY:
Flame that came from me
Fire meet gasoline
Fire meet gasoline
I'm burning alive
KITTY:
I can barely breathe
When you're here loving me
Fire meet gasoline
Fire meet gasoline
UNIQUE:
I got all I need
When you came after me
Fire meet gasoline
I'm burning alive
RACHEL:
And I can barely breathe,
When you're here loving me
Fire meet gasoline
Burn with me tonight
Burn with me tonight
Burn with me tonight
Burn with me tonight
Eh eh
(At the end of the song, Rachel looks around the stage as the lights flash off, revealing that she has been imagining the other girls singing with her.)
(NOON [LIMA]: The next scene starts with Rachel walking inside the auditorium of Unique's school with her phone on her hand.)
RACHEL: Unique? Are you in here? You asked me to stop by here.
(Rachel is shocked when the spotlight turned on, giving the middle part of the stage some light. Unique then walks to the light. Rachel smiles.)
UNIQUE: Before you say anything, Rachel, I'll go first so please take a seat, (Rachel sits down on one of the seats) Okay, so uh, for the past few days, I've been thinking about what I really feel about all this, and now, I want to express it by a song.
(Unique starts singing Jennifer Hudson's "Where You At?")
UNIQUE:
You said when the storm came
That you would be there with your umbrella to block the rain
And you said you'd protect me from heartache,
Pain, lies, loneliness, and misery
You said you'll tear down the walls
That were in the way.
You promise things would be okay.
And I stood there in the freezing cold
And I waited for you but you never showed
(The lights behind Unique turns on, revealing the Transpersons Choir.)
TRANSPERSONS CHOIR (UNIQUE):
Where you at (Ooh)
Where you at (Mmh)
Where you at (Boy you said you'd be there for me)
Where you at (Where you at)
Where you at (Where you at)
Where you at (Where you at)
UNIQUE:
And those false promises is much like fake names
You painted a picture for me but there was no frame
You made my future look bright and I believed every word
I went to sleep on the cloud and woke up in the dirt
And now I'm without shelter and the wind is blowing
You said you would be there for me boy when the tough got going
Said if weapons formed you've stand in front of me
When ever I felt trapped you said that you
Would be the one to set me free
(As Unique hits the high note, tears starts streaming down her face, her voice overflowing with sadness and anger.)
Thought you were my hero but as it turned out you were no show!
Tell me where you at, where you at,
You said you would be there for me
Where you at
Where you at
(Unique stops singing as she can't handle the pain anymore. The music stops. Unique pulls herself for a few seconds to speak.)
UNIQUE: (angry) It's funny how you pretend to really give a damn about other people but the reality is that you use them to make you look good, to make you look like you "care" when everyone knows the only person you really care about is yourself, Rachel Berry. And the next time we see each other? I'll kick you and your Glee Club's sorry ass at Sectionals.
(Unique storms out, leaving Rachel horrified.)
(MORNING [LIMA]: The next scene starts with Jake and Ryder standing in front of the choir room.)
JAKE: (whispers to Ryder) Ryder, I don't want to be here!
RYDER: (chuckles) Oh come on, Jake. You said you wanted to go back here so here we are. All we need is to say it to Kitty. I'm pretty sure she'll love this news.
JAKE: (groans) I don't even know why I agreed to come back in this place (sighs)
RYDER: Uh, because you love me and you don't want to be far away from me? (winks playfully, he got excited when he saw Kitty walking down the hallway) Kitty! (Kitty looks at him, he grins)
KITTY: (walks to Jake and Ryder, sighs) Okay, I know what you're going to say and can I just say that I'm sorry, for everything that happened between all of us, (to Jake) Especially to you, Jake, I know we had a rough past and I'm sorry, I really am.
RYDER: Kitty, you don't have to say sorry, of course we understand you. Well, especially me, (whispers to Kitty) Jake's been acting like a big baby but I know he understands as well (Jake hits his arm, he chuckles) But we're not here to blame you anymore, Kitty, we're actually here to tell you some good news.
KITTY: The only good news I wanted to hear right now is that you have eleven students with you that is willing to join the Glee Club because Rachel and I are literally slamming our heads against the wall, hoping that a student will magically come out of our heads in each bang.
RYDER: (eyes widen) Well, uh, we don't have eleven members but we have two.
KITTY: (confused but excited) Who?
RYDER: (points to him and Jake) Their names are Ryder Lynn and Jake Puckerman, (grins)
KITTY: (happy, tackles Ryder to a hug) Oh my God, are you serious?! Oh my God this is freaking amazing! Thank you for this, really, thank you!
RYDER: (pulls back, smiles wide) You're really welcome, Kitty, but I'm not really the one who deserves those thank yous, Jake is. If I didn't talk to him about the good stuff here at McKinley, he wouldn't have agreed to come back and so do I.
KITTY: (looks at Jake, getting a little teary eyed) Thank you, Puckerman.
JAKE: (stretches his arms) Can I at least get a welcome back hug? (smiles)
KITTY: (hugs Jake, tears of joy streaming down her face) I missed you both so much, you don't have any idea.
JAKE: (looks at Ryder, whispers to Kitty) I missed you too, Kitty Wilde.
(NOON [LIMA]: The next scene starts with Unique walking the halls of her school, talking to Marley via phone.)
UNIQUE: Marley, sis, I have to tell you something I did yesterday.
MARLEY: (exaggerates) Is it horrible? God, Unique, I thought you're better than that! I can't even believe you would do such a thing!
UNIQUE: (laughs) Shut up, Marls. You know Unique is a saint, (Marley chuckles) But no, it's not that horrible but I do feel horrible for what I did.
MARLEY: Go on.
UNIQUE: (sighs) I asked Rachel to stop by here then I told her that I finally figured out what I really feel then I sang to her and ended up bitching out on her, (steps inside a classroom) God, Marley, I didn't mean that to happen, I feel so horrible.
MARLEY: Unique, you just expressed what you really feel, I know Rachel understands why you did that so don't feel bad about it.
UNIQUE: You should've seen her face, Marls.
MARLEY: Unique, it's going to be fine, but, but I kind of need to tell you something as well. But can you promise me you won't be mad at me.
UNIQUE: (sits down on her chair, confused) Did my boyfriend got you pregnant? Because that's the only thing that will make me remove my wig and go all cray cray.
MARLEY: What?! No! Unique, I'm not that kind of girl. But it's about me.
UNIQUE: Ooh girl, was you hit by a penis on your way to school? (hysterical laugh)
MARLEY: Unique, no! I talked to my mom about me going back to McKinley and she allowed me to, (Unique stops laughing) I'm sorry, I should've told you this in person but I just really can't hold it anymore, (silence) Unique? Are you still there?
UNIQUE: (frowns) Uh, yeah, I am. I'm just a little confused, I mean, I thought you and I are on the same team?
MARLEY: We are, Unique. But, when I talked to my mom about this and when she told me that sh*t does happen but life still goes on, I realized how much I miss McKinley, the New Directions, the noisy cafeteria, everything. I know you're upset but I would honestly love it if you go back as well. I know you do.
UNIQUE: (soft voice) No, I'm not upset at all, Marls, just a little sad but I understand where you're coming from and I am very happy for you, but (sighs) I am happy where I am now, I found my people, I found a place where people like me are accepted with open arms, this is why I'm excited coming to school and this is why I'm always happy.
MARLEY: (sad) Okay, it sucks that we're not going to see each other that much anymore but I want you to know that whatever happens, I'm still your bestfriend, I'm always here for you and if you decided to come back, I'm going to be the first one to welcome you.
UNIQUE: Thank you, Marley, you really are my bestfriend.
MARLEY: I love you, Unique.
UNIQUE: Love you too, girl.
(NOON [LIMA]: The next scene starts with Rachel and Kitty walking down the halls of McKinley High.)
RACHEL: (about Unique) You should've seen how angry and sad and devastated she was, Kitty.
KITTY: Well, I'm not really surprised, I mean, we all have the right to be angry at you. I mean, didn't you call her "cross-dressing Mercedes" one time?
RACHEL: I know, and it's disgusting, I'm still disgusted that I said that.
KITTY: (stops, looks at Rachel) Look, Rachel, I just want you to know again that I'm over that anger that I felt for you and everything's going to be alright, once we get enough members, the people will once again know who run this school.
RACHEL: (sighs) I just hope that day will come fast because I am honestly starting to feel like this is going nowhere.
KITTY: (hooks arms with Rachel) That's why I have to show you something that may lift your spirits up again, (grins)
RACHEL: Is it an intervention because I don't really like those things.
(Kitty drags Rachel all the way in front of the choir room.)
KITTY: (opens the door, Rachel sees Jake, Ryder, Roderick, Mason and Madison sitting on chairs, talking to each other) I wanted to show you that this is the start of something very special.
RACHEL: (happy) Oh my God, Kitty! You, you brought Jake and Ryder back!? (Kitty nods, Rachel tackles Kitty to a tight hug)
KITTY: (chuckles, pulls back) Now, I know you're good at impromptu speeches so I want you to give one, okay?
RACHEL: (laughs softly, nods) Okay, I could do that.
KITTY: Great, (to Jake, Ryder, Mason, Madison and Roderick) Guys! (they turned around to look at her) Rachel has something to say.
RACHEL: Okay, (takes a deep breath, walks 'til she reaches the middle, smiles) first of all, I want to welcome you all to the New Directions (Roderick, Mason and Madison smiles, Jake and Ryder didn't) second, (to Jake and Ryder) I just wanted to personally apologize to the both of you, for everything awful that I did before, I really am sorry for that but a good friend and a former gleek once told me that "you can't change your past but you can let go and start your future" and I know the both of you are hesitating to come back here because you think that I'm going to abandon all of you again but no, I assure you, I will never ever leave this place without proving to you guys that we can do this, we will see it altogether. When we look back in our time here, we will be proud.
RYDER: (smiles) Apology accepted, (to Jake) Jake?
JAKE: (hesitates, but smiled) I guess we can start all over again and prove to everyone, especially to Sue that we'll be on top again, right?
RACHEL: (grins, stretches her arms) Group hug! Come on, guys, let's have our first official group hug!
(All of them stood up and hugged Rachel then Don Henley's "The Heart of the Matter" starts playing.)
RACHEL:
I got the call today, I didn't wanna hear
But I knew that it would come
An old true friend of ours was talkin' on the phone
She said you found someone
And I thought of all the bad luck,
And all the struggles we went through
How I lost me and you lost you
What are these voices outside love's open door
Make us throw off our contentment
And beg for something more?
(They all walked out of the choir room, Kitty sings as they all start walking the hallways.)
KITTY with NEW DIRECTIONS:
I've been learning to live without you now
But I miss you sometimes
The more I know, the less I understand
All the things I thought I knew, I'm learning them again
I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter
But my will gets weak
And my thoughts seem to scatter
But I think it's about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore
RODERICK:
These times are so uncertain
There's a yearning undefined
And people filled with rage
MASON:
We all need a little tenderness
How can love survive in such a graceless age
MADISON:
And the trust and self-assurance that lead to happiness
They're the very things we kill, I guess
JAKE and RYDER:
Pride and competition cannot fill these empty arms
And the work they put between us,
You know it doesn't keep us warm
(The scene cuts to the New Directions and Rachel singing in the auditorium.)
RACHEL and NEW DIRECTIONS:
I've been learning to live without you now
But I miss you sometimes
The more I know, the less I understand
All the things I thought I knew, I'm learning them again
I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter
But my will gets weak
And my thoughts seem to scatter
But I think it's about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore
(Kitty, Jake, Ryder and Rachel were all shocked when Marley walks in and joins them.)
MARLEY:
All the people in your life who've come and gone
They let you down, you know they hurt your pride
Better put it all behind you; cause life goes on
You keep carrin' that anger, it'll eat you up inside
(Marley looks at Rachel, though hesitant, they still hug. Then Marley starts hugging Kitty, Jake, Ryder, Roderick, Mason and Madison respectively.)
JAKE, KITTY, MARLEY and RYDER:
I wanna be happily ever after
And my heart is so shattered
But I know it's about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore
(Unique then overlooks them from the doorway.)
RACHEL and NEW DIRECTIONS:
I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter
Because the flesh will get weak
And the ashes will scatter
So I'm thinkin' about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if you don't love me anymore
Even if you don't love me anymore
(The song and scene ends with the New Directions cheering and with Unique walking out with a sad expression on her face.)
(NOON [LIMA]: The scene starts with Rachel locking the door of the choir room. Then her phone starts ringing.)
RACHEL: (looks at the Caller I.D, it is revealed to be Kurt) Kurt? Hi, what's up? I have an incredible news to say!
KURT: (ignores her, sad) Rachel, is it possible for you to fly back here for a while?
RACHEL: (confused) Why? Did something happen? (walks out of the campus)
KURT: (emotional) It-It's Blaine.
RACHEL: (nervous) Kurt, what happened?
KURT: (whispers) He's in the hospital.
(The episode ends with Rachel's eyes wide, lips open, doesn't know what to say.)
