INT. AUDITORIUM

New Directions are in the auditorium trying to practice their routine for the Invitational. Chase is trying to teach them the moves for the dances as Autumn and Sam trying to modify their set list.

New Directions break off into pairs but Reese bumps into Riley and they both begin to laugh causing frustration for Chase.

"Listen! If we can't land these transitions and steps we might as will kiss Sectionals goodbye," Chase stated angrily.

"How about we talk a five minute break?" Candace replied trying to calm everyone down.

Chase waves his hand giving them the okay to take a break. Solaris walks over to him but he brush passes her and joins Sam and Autumn. Solaris looks over to see Chase more relaxed laughing with Autumn.

"I think we should do something more old school," Sam said searching through some sheet music "Like this. It would get the judges attention and make us stand out."

Autumn grabs the sheet from Sam and scans through it. Then passes it along to Chase.

"We do not have someone who can pull a song like that off," Autumn replied.

INT. AUDITORIUM BALCONY

Meanwhile Riley and Reese walk up to the seats on the balcony. They take a seat and watch the action of their friends arguing and trying to practice.

"How are you?" Reese said with a soften voice "Are you eating properly?"

Riley looks at Reese with teary eyes "I am. I know that I'm sick. Every time I taste food it makes me nauseous. I don't know why I do. Sometimes I just believe I do it because I want people to think I'm perfect and healthy when in reality I'm not. I hate my life Reese."

"Riley look at me," he said grabbing her arms "You're perfect. You're confident, smart, beautiful, and resourceful. I do not know anyone who could be more perfect."

He makes her smile then wipes the tears from her eyes. He cups her face and begins to kiss her until Jeffrey interrupts them.

"Hey. My bad. We are about to get started. Chase wanted me to find you, Jeffrey said awkwardly."

Reese accents from his seat and holds his hand out for Riley. They leave the balcony hand and hand.

INT. AUDITORIUM

With everyone returned Sam claps his hand to get everyone attention.

"Guys Invitationals are next week. Only two out of the three glee clubs here can move on to Sectionals. We have tough competition facing of against the Troubletones and Duly Noted."

Autumn takes over "With that being said we need our best singers out on stage. Chase will have a solo, June and Noah will do a duet and then we will all come together for a group number."

"We need to have this chorography down. So lets get back to rehearsals," Chase demanded.

Everyone was beginning to disperse to resume the practice until Candace interjected.

"I don't know if you guys noticed but we are still a few members short."

"I think I might now someone who can fill in," Riley said.

INT. TRACK FIELD

Garth is running laps around the track field when she notices Riley standing there waiting for her. She begins to run towards her.

"I need your help," Riley said.

"My help. I thought your new boyfriend was helping you with your problem," Garth said wiping her sweat and drinking water from her bottle.

"It's not about that Garth. We need an extra member for glee so we can compete."

"You only need twelve members for Sectionals not an Invitational. You still can compete just as long as you have the require number of members by Sectionals."

"Please," Riley said pleadingly "It would be fun having you on the team."

"Fine! What do I have to do?" Garth replied.

Reach For Me from Smash begins to play. Garth watches as Riley leaves smiling.

Garth:

I could fall in love with you

I could fall in love

In my dreams your dreams come true

Say you'll dream of us

Tonight when the bright stars are burning high over Manhattan

All washed out in neon

And hidden from view

But when the power goes out and you look up from Brooklyn

Will you reach for me

Reaching out for you

Oh, will you reach for me

Reaching out for you

(The scene transitions to Garth to performing in front of New Directions.)

I can tell you're unprepared

For what will happen next

Nothing now could change my mind

Or make me want you less

Do you want this tonight when the bright stars are burning high over Manhattan

All washed out in neon

And hidden from view

But when the power goes out and you look up from Brooklyn

Will you reach for me

Reaching out for you

Oh, will you reach for me

Reaching out for you

(Garth gazes at Riley while performing)

Would you reach for me

I could wait for you

Would you reach for me

Bright stars are burning high over Manhattan

All washed out in neon

And hidden from view

But when the power goes out and you look up from Brooklyn

Will you reach for me

Reaching out for you

Oh, will you reach for me

Reaching out for you

Will you reach for me

Reaching out for you

I'm reaching out for you

Everyone begins to applaud as Garth finishes her performance.

"Thank you Garth. That was an amazing performance. We would love to have you join us," Sam said.

INT. KURT AND BLANE'S APARTMENT

Kurt walks out a room with a baby girl. He joins his husband and best friend Rachel.

"Look who just woke up from her nap," Kurt said in a baby voice.

"Hey! Look at mommy little girl. Hey little Barbara," Rachel said playing with Barbara's tiny hands "I'm glad you guys let me be her mother and allowing me to visit."

"Of course. We wouldn't have it any other way," Blaine said.

"We know how your adoption affected you and we didn't want little Barbara to go through not having her mother around," Kurt said.

Rachel sits Baby Barbara into her playpen afterward she rejoins her friends.

"So how was Lima? Seeing Sam? New Directions?" Kurt asked inquisitively.

"Well Ohio is the same, but it's nothing without you being there with me. New Directions are getting better. They have their Invitational next week," Rachel answered.

"You avoided talking about Sam," Blaine said.

"Umm…we kissed."

Blaine and Kurt are both shocked at Rachel's confession.

"What about Jesse?" Kurt asked.

"Things are just complicated between us. I came back because I wanted to fix our marriage. I love Jesse you guys."

INT. CAFERITERIA

Chase takes a seat with Autumn who is by herself.

"Hey where is your new boyfriend?" Chase asked.

"Well hey to you too and he's not my boyfriend. Zane is my friend just like you're my friend or another person I socialize with.

"Yea. You're right. How's the set list going?"

"It's going. I think I found our group number it's just the duet I can't figure out."

Solaris appears in front of Chase and give him a look that suggests he should come with her.

"If anyone can figure it out it's you, but Solaris wants to have lunch together," Chase said gathering his things "So I should go meet up with her.

Autumn quietly nods in agreement. Chase walks over to Solaris leaving Autumn to sit alone.

"I wish you would stop acting jealous," Chase stated with frustration.

"I wouldn't have to if I'm not seeing you with her every two seconds. You suppose to be my boyfriend."

Chase leans over to kiss Solaris. Autumn just so happens to turn and see the two kissing each other becoming upset.

INT. ST JAMES' LIVING ROOM

Rachel enters her loft hallways. She reaches her door then goes into her purse to find her keys. She opens the door to see Jesse has finally returned home. She enters the loft surprised. She places her purse onto the counter.

"Jesse? You finally came home," said Rachel.

"Yeah I did. I just came to get a few clothes. We are having Tech soon so I need to be ready," Jesse replied.

Rachel begins to move closer to her husband but he is being very distant towards her.

"Listen Jesse I love you and I want our marriage to work. You mean so much to me and I would hate to lose everything that we've worked for and built."

"Then why are you going back and forth to Lima? Why are you with Sam? Rachel I love you too, but I can't live doubting my wife faithfulness. "

"I know, but Sam and I are strictly friends. I'm only there to support New Directions. I promise it's just me and you until death do us part."

Jesse grabs his wife and passionately kisses her. Rachel open her eyes realizing that the love she has for Jesse is not the same.

"Even if you think you're not in love with Sam," Jesse says as he steps away from her "I know that you do not love me the same, but it's okay Rach. I've had the best eight years with you."

James Morrison and Nelly Furtado's Broken Strings begin to play.

Jesse:

Let me hold you

For the last time

It's the last chance to feel again

But you broke me

Now I can't feel anything

When I love you,

It's so untrue

I can't even convince myself

When I'm speaking,

It's the voice of someone else

Oh it tears me up

I try to hold on, but it hurts too much

I try to forgive, but it's not enough to make it all okay

You can't play on broken strings

You can't feel anything that your heart don't want to feel

I can't tell you something that ain't real

Oh the truth hurts

And lies worse

How can I give anymore

When I love you a little less than before

Rachel:

Oh what are we doing

We are turning into dust

Playing house in the ruins of us

Jesse with Rachel:

Running back through the fire

When there's nothing left to save

It's like chasing the very last train when it's too late

Oh it tears me up

I try to hold on, but it hurts too much

I try to forgive, but it's not enough to make it all okay

You can't play on broken strings

You can't feel anything that your heart don't want to feel

I can't tell something that ain't real

Well the truth hurts,

And lies worse

How can I give anymore

When I love you a little less than before

Jesse with Rachel (Rachel):

But we're running through the fire

When there's nothing left to save

It's like chasing the very last train

When we both know it's too late (too late)

You can't play on broken strings

You can't feel anything that your heart don't want to feel

I cant tell you something that ain't real

Well truth hurts,

And lies worse

How can I give anymore

When I love you a little less than before

Let me hold you for the last time

It's the last chance to feel again

"I love you Jesse," Rachel says as she watches Jesse leave.

EXT. FOOTBALL FIELD

Riley is sitting in the bleachers unknowingly watching Garth as she runs laps with the track team. Reese walks up and kisses her, which snaps her back into reality.

"Hey did I scare you?" Reese asked.

"No I was just watching the umm…" stated Riley scanning the field "The Cheerios! I was thinking that being on the squad would help me with my rehabilitation.

"I think that would be great. It'll keep your mind off everything and it'll keep you busy in case we loose the Invitational."

"We are not loosing. We've been working hard and we've come so far from when we first started."

Garth made her way to Reese and Riley. Riley becomes flustered.

"Just the two people I wanted to see. My girlfriend and I are going out tonight and I was wondering if we could make it a double date.

"I don't have a problem with that. What about you Riles?" asked Reese.

"Sure! I'm free, but I should go," Riley said kissing Reese then spiriting off.

INT. CHOIR ROOM

Sam is standing at the piano reading papers and looking over the rules becoming frustrated. Autumn walks in with sheet music in her hand. She approaches Sam handing over the music.

"Are you sure about this new line up Autumn? It's kind of risky," Sam said with concern.

"I have faith in us. You said we should show the judges who we are and these songs represents us," Autumn said.

"When we use to compete we always believed we were the outcast which gave us the drive to keep going to win. Through all the love triangles and the ever-changing relationships we pushed through. We didn't let the personal drama affect our game."

"Mr. Evans what if we don't win. What will happen to us?"

"We don't stop. No matter what people tried to do, no matter if we lost, no matter how much we grew and changed New Directions was never defeated. We overcome every obstacles and as the captain Autumn you must keep that fighting spirit," Sam said.

"Thank you Mr. Evan's," said Autumn.

Autumn turns around to see the other students walking in. She sees that Chase and Solaris are coming in hand and hand.

INT. AUDITORIUM

Autumn walks into the auditorium to see it completely dark. The stage spotlights turn on and a woman is standing on stage.

Spring:

You've got me feeling emotions

Deeper than I've ever dreamed of

You've got me feeling emotions

Higher than the heavens above

I feel good

I feel nice

I've never felt so

Satisfied

I'm in love

I'm alive

Intoxicated

Flying high

It feels like a dream

When you touch me tenderly

I don't know if it's real

But I like the way I feel

Inside

You've got me feeling emotions

Deeper than I've ever dreamed of

You've got me feeling emotions

Higher than the heavens above

In the morning

When I rise

You are the first thing

On my mind

And in the middle

Of the night

I feel your heartbeat

Next to mine

If feels like a dream

When you love me tenderly

I don't know if you're for real

But I like the way I feel

Inside

You've got me feeling emotions

Deeper than I've ever dreamed of

You've got me feeling emotions

Higher than the heavens above

You know the way to make me lose control

When you're looking into my eyes

You make me feel so

High

You've got me feeling emotions

Deeper than I've ever dreamed of

You've got me feeling emotions

Higher than the heavens above

She walks off the stage applauding herself as Autumn stands there in disbelief. Autumn face drops as if her entire world just crashed down.

"What you doing back her Spring?" Autumn said.

"What do you mean little sister? I'm here to see my sister shine, but to also see her fail because the Toubletones will be moving on to Sectionals," Spring said maliciously.

"You're supposed to be in New York on Broadway."

"I was the captain of the Toubletones until I graduated. Did you really think I would miss any competitions just because I graduated," Spring asked.

Spring smiles knowing that her sister is upset. Autumn rushes off as Chase walks in. He sees Spring standing there with a smile on her face and leaves to catch up with Autumn

EXT. AUDITORIUM HALLWAY

Chase finally catches up to her. She tries to wipe the tears before he sees her.

"Hey? Who was that?" Chase asked with concern.

"That's my awful sister Spring. She always wants to rub her success in my face. She was apart of the Toubletones before she graduated.

"Listen don't let that or her bother you. We are going to make it to Sectionals and once you graduate you can move to New York or California or anywhere because you are the most talented person I know.

He brings her into his arms. He kisses her forehand. They begin to walk down the hallways with his arms wrapped around her.

INT. ST JAMES' LOFT

Kurt, Blaine, and Santana rush into Rachel's loft to see her hysterically crying on the couch. Kurt and Santana sit next to her to console her.

"Where is that bastard? I'm from Lima Heights Adjacent and we don't play that over there," Santana said full of raged.

"Rachel I can't believe that Jesse left you after eight years together," Blaine said.

"Guys thank you so much, but I'm fine," Rachel said wiping the tears from her eyes "Jesse and I might have been together for eight years but we were only married for four of those eight years."

"I used your phone to track him I can be there in five minutes," Santana said holding Rachel's phone.

Rachel gave Santana a hug as a way of saying thank you knowing Santana have not gotten over the pain from the lost of Brittany.

"Did he say the reason for the break up?" Kurt asked.

"He thinks I have romantic feelings for Sam."

"Well you and Trouty Mouth never really had an official relationship." Santana said "After our wedding you started back dating Jesse."

Rachel ponders on what Santana said.

INT. AUDITORIUM

New Directions begins harmonizing as Landon Austin's Ready For Anything is playing.

Chase (and Autumn):

We look out and see the world

It takes everything we have to face it

Without a sound we'll take a step

Inside our hearts are racing

(If it takes forever)

(We'll get there together)

Logan with Candace:

I'm winding along this road

Not knowing where you will go

No matter what life brings

If it's you and me

We're ready for anything

Watch you

The clouds go by

Our turn

We'll learn to fly

No matter what life brings

If it's you and me

We're ready for anything

New Directions:

We're ready for anything

Noah (and June):

So as we ride into the sun

Sometimes we know we're gonna fall down

Hold my hand and we'll get up

I know we're gonna make it somehow

(If it takes forever)

(We'll get there together)

Jeffrey with Reese:

I'm winding along this road

Not knowing where you will go

No matter what life brings

If it's you and me

We're ready for anything

Watch you

The clouds go by

Our turn

We'll learn to fly

No matter what life brings

If it's you and me

We're ready for anything

New Directions:

We're ready for anything

Come on come on we can be

Come on come on I don't care

I'd go with you anywhere

We're ready for anything
