Kurt complains that Finn lied to him about Puck too and questions Rachel on Puck's potential interference with Karofsky. Rachel brings to light where Puck has really been all this time. Rachel makes a comment about the boy who used to throw Kurt in a dumpster doing more against his bullies than his brother before storming out. Rachel and Kurt talk briefly before Rachel has to get off the phone to call Puck. Kurt does weasel out of her how long she's known but decides not to help the cheating Rachel rumor around school in thanks for Puck's help instead he uses his skills to put the rumors down. He remarks that this doesn't make them friends to Rachel but admits to himself that their friendship is likely inevitable. Rachel faces glares in Glee but soldiers on knowing that Puck will be home soon, and with the support system of the Puckermans, Shelby, her fathers and even her students and friends at the Arts school)

Puck tells her to break a leg and sensing something's wrong gets her to laugh before they go on. Rachel leaves the stage immediately after they win, finds her dads and goes home with them instead of riding the bus.

Puck's sings My Musical Soulmate to Rachel for her birthday they officially start dating. while they're alone at her house one night, they make love for the first time. They're inseparable dividing their time between Bobeshi's and her dads houses between 7-11 shifts and her work at the arts school were she's an instructor as well as a student, and regular visits to Beth and Shelby. Nathan and Shelby start something up on the side in secret from their children. Bobeshi jokes about Puck and Rachel being married and Puck calls her wifey every chance he gets Rachel teases him with hubby.
They walk back in the school arm in arm. Finn boils with jealously despite reuniting with Quinn who hates Rachel for stealing Finn's attention, Mercedes sides with Quinn Santana divides her hatred between Quinn, Rachel and Artie. Mike congratulates Puck but Tina is divided. Kurt thanks Puck for his help. Glee notices the pet names, Nathan comes by and having went to school with Schue greatly intimidates him showing that like Puck he too was a womanizing bully Puck was his Beth for lack of a better term but when he was 18 he comes by to explain he's going to take a break from the tour circuit to hang around for Noah's last school years since he now can (he's going to work in his father's carpentry shop), he's come by to offer his experience with glee since after being a stage manager for big name tours glee club should be no problem, Rachel calls him Tate and despite his roguish requests for hugs and kisses it becomes obvious that they share more of a father daughter relationship, soon perhaps for real.
Rachel is much more relaxed in a happy, healthy, stable relationship. Gleeks like this Rachel better but she's has given up on their friendships and makes no more overtures to earn their friendship although through Puck she does become somewhat okay with Mike, Matt, Sam, and after a talk with him prompted by Puck Karofsky who she introduces to her dads and through them a counselor. Azimio thanks Rachel for her help. Azimio has known and been impatiently waiting for Karofsky to come out to him. Outside of school Azimio and Karofsky are civil; in school they ignore Mike, Matt, Sam, Puck, Rachel, and Kurt but continue their torment of the other gleeks. Azimio is not gay but has been worried about Karofsky for a while now so much so that he sought help from a gay hotline. After the football game Karofsky joins Glee with Azimio's support.
At National's Schue encourages Finn to court Rachel away from Puck wishing he'd done the same with Emma from Carl. Finn finds it very hard though as Rachel never seems to be out of arms length of either Puckerman or the other jocks. Finally he formulates a plan to kiss her on stage he manages it but Rachel quickly dances away and Mike and Matt manage to keep Puck from destroying Finn until they're backstage where Puck slams his fist into Finn's face once before kissing Rachel fiercely and dragging her away. Rachel worries that Puck will think it's her fault but given that she's been radiating happiness while she's with him he knows better Shelby and Nathan stop their rush away to give them money they ask that they check in but say they don't wanna see them till they have to leave and direct them to a hostel. Puck and Rachel go enjoy New York while Finn faces two angry parents and then the Glee club who want to blame Rachel but Jesse and Kurt make it clear that Finn has cost them the competition.
They place 8th at Nationals due to Nathan's organization and the original songs though Schue disapproves his high handedness in getting the kids to practice and work. He's having trouble getting past his old fear of Nathan at the end of the school year he does stand up to the older Puckerman who smirks and comments that it was about time he grew some balls, puts him in a headlock and knuckles his head like he sometimes does the Glee boys in a playful rough affection kind of way before walking out saying that he'd see him next year.
Meanwhile Shelby, a private music tutor in Mansfield, begins thinking about moving to Lima to be closer to all the people she cares about and puts in to be the music teacher and choir director at McKinley next year. Sue sees this 4 time consecutive National winning choir director's resume and smiles her shark smile thinking she wouldn't mind sharing the school with someone as worthy and ruthless as herself and decides to use her skills to make sure this happens
