Kermit and Schue sat in Principal Figgins' office. Here, they were joined by Sam the Eagle. Figgins stared the Frog and glee club teacher icily straight in the eye while Sam sternly stared straight back. Obviously, there was a problem.
"William, what exactly were you thinking? Your chosen celebrities have run this school into the ground, all in one half hour!"
"Look, Mr. Figgins, sir" Kermit began, "I warned him that letting my friends run free around the school would be trouble, it's just that everyone rushed out so quickly and…"
"Principal Figgins," Sam interrupted as Kermit made a face-palm in an 'oh brother' fashion, knowing that the blue bird's advice wouldn't help. "As an American eagle AND moral foundation of this otherwise disgraceful patchwork performing troupe, I apologize for my not being able to put a stop to whatever damage your fine learning establishment has suffered. I assure you it will NEVER happen again! …and while we're here, may I make a suggestion on how to improve this school's moral fabric? The school colors, red and white, are very nice, but I believe those two shall benefit greatly by the addition of the color blue. Together, those three colors will further inspire our country's youth to follow the path of greatness as they receive the gift of higher learning. This, my good sir, is an idea that is brilliant! It is strong, proud, and most importantly…American!"
The room was a silent, living still-life of two men and a frog staring at an eagle standing on a chair.
"Now now, why must you not believe me? If this idea shall not help you in any way or form, I'd be a monkey's uncle!"
A knock on the door was heard, and in came a Muppet messenger pig holding a letter.
"Is there a Sam Eagle here?"
Sam politely took the note and opened it as the pig went on his way.
"Dear brother Sam…" he began to read, it must have been from a close relative. He read it quietly until he gasped in pure shock. He turned to Will, Kermit, and Figgins.
"What happened, Sam?" Kermit asked with genuine concern for his reluctant friend.
The flabbergasted eagle held up a photo of a two month-old baby gibbon.
"…my newly-adopted niece."
Embarrassed, Sam left the room, leaving the three to continue their conversation.
"What were you saying before now?" Schue asked.
"I just want to know why you chose these creatures as your performing celebrities. Didn't you realize this would happen? They're almost as trouble-prone as your glee club, only worse!"
It was there that Will suddenly realized that the Muppets had more in common with his students than he thought. Figgins was right about how almost all the kids on New Directions were usually, in one way or another, the driving force behind many of the school's conflicts. Then he remembered how the Muppets' acts usually disintegrated hazardously onstage on The Muppet Show, not much like the club's lesser-successful moments.
"You're right…" he said sullenly. "Kermit, I apologize for bringing you and your friends out here. I didn't know this would end in a disaster."
"Don't apologize" Kermit replied, "I know things went out of hand, and that things look a little grim right now, but there has to be something good to come out of it. In fact…"
Kermit went to the door and opened it to reveal Walter and Emma standing there.
"Just sing 'la-la-la-la-la-la'" Walter began to sing.
"The sun may never ever shine" Emma added.
"Sing..." Kermit began, while Mahna-Mahna popped up next to him and chimed in with "Mah-na-ma-na-ma-na-na!".
"Somewhere, the moon shines bright" Artie and Tina sang as they stopped at the door.
At that point, members of New Directions and various Muppets began filing in Figgins' office to sing, much to his surprise.
"Jou've no dough, so relax" sang Pepe and Santana, "jou don't 'ave to pay an eencome tax-okay."
"There's a sunny side to every situation" Gonzo added, cuddling Camilla.
Sweetums, Finn, and Puck came up from behind the speechless principal.
"So the landlord raised your rent, stick out your tongue and raise a tent."
"Every situation has a FUNNY side!" Fozzie wailed merrily.
"And you know..." he added, "when I went to school, I became good friends with the principal. You could say that he was my princi-PAL! Aaaaaahhhhhh, wocka-wocka!"
Much to everyone's bewilderment, Figgins actually laughed a little to that joke. Even Fozzie gasped at this sudden stroke of luck.
"I will admit, Fozzie Bear" Figgins said, smiling, "you always were my favorite Muppet as a child."
That being said, the Bear and the principal hugged each other dearly. Kermit then tapped him on the shoulder to speak.
"You see sir, we Muppets may be furry, some of us may be loud and unpredictable, and at times we make a mess, usually by accident. But all we want is to make a difference in people's lives, make people happy, and find love and acceptance in return. That was the dream this crazy family of ours was founded upon. Now that I think of it, isn't that why you started your glee club, Will?"
Will just looked as if the words were taken right out of his mouth. He just nodded 'yes', his eyes aglow, as every Muppet and glee club kid in the room gathered into one big group around him and Emma.
"Every situation has a sunny side..." they all sang in finale unision.
Outside the office, Sue and Statler & Waldorf watched from a distance.
"A little sappy, wouldn't you say?" Statler asked.
"I think my false teeth are getting cavities just watching it!" Waldorf added with a chuckle.
"Little is putting it lightly" Sue answered, "try imagining running into this five days a week, nine months in a row, for thirty years."
"No need to imagine" the old men said, "we HAVE run into this for thirty years, ever since the very second we first bought a ticket to The Muppet Show!"
Figgins sat firmly, and looked at everyone.
"Ok, I forgive you Muppets. Just make sure your performance doesn't endanger the lives of the audience."
"You can count on us, Mr. Figgins!" Kermit replied.
"We'll make sure our gala is a real blast!" Will added.
Unfortunately, he chose the wrong word to say, for out of nowhere popped Crazy Harry with his ever-present detonator!
"Did somebody say BLAST?" he shrieked, to everyone's horror.
Inevitably, Harry pushed down on the plunger and a cloud of white smoke and a moderate boom sound emitted as the glass windows separating the office from the rest of the school were shattered, luckily harming nobody as nobody was in the exact vicinity as it happened. Sue and the hecklers began laughing at the scene.
"Now THAT'S how you end something with you guys!" she cried.
"This is going to be a loooong time..." Will muttered to himself as Kermit patted his back.
