In the choir room, Will asked, "Alright, who can tell me who Nicholas Brendon is?"

Santana said, "Isn't he the guy who played that idiot Xander on Buffy?"

Kurt said, "I have a bad feeling about this lesson."

Tina said, "Never heard of him, don't want to hear about him."

Finn asked, "How do you get caught between the moon and New York City? They're like 100,000 miles apart."

Will said, "More."

Kurt said, "Mr. Shue, if I may, I suggest at this year's homecoming assembly, we all do a number by - wait for it…Miss Britney Spears."

Artie said, "Yo, Spears is fierce, yo."

Everyone else agreed.

Will said, "Kurt, no. I don't think she's a very good role model."

Rachel said, "But, Mr. Shue, we kind of grew up with her."

Tina said, "She's literally why I wanted to be a performer."

Brittany said, "I don't want to do Britney."

Kurt asked, "Why no Britney, Brittany?"

"Because my name is also Brittany Spears." They all looked at her in confusion.

Will asked, "What?"

Mercedes asked, "What the hell is she talking about?"

Brittany explained, "My middle name is Susan, my lat name is Pierce. That makes me Brittany S. Pierce. Brittany S-pierce."

Will said, "Well, there you have it. No Britney. Sorry."

Kurt said in disdain, "Thanks, Brit. Thanks a lot."

Santana said, "Leave Brittany alone."

Brittany said, "Thank you for understanding. It's been a difficult road."

Rachel asked, "Um, can we move on?"

Will said, "Yes. Let's talk about Michael Bolton."

In Emma's office, "I know Britney Spears has had it rough, but I find it admirable that she's gotten her life back together."

Will said, "I miss you."

Emma said, "Carl's been helping me."

Will said, sarcastically, "Wow."

There was a knock on the side door. "Hi, sorry. Am I interrupting?"

"Carl, um, no."

"You must be Will." He shook his hand. "Another teenager needs a root canal. I'm telling you, these kids better hope they still have their teeth by the time they're 30. Oh, the amount of sugar people eat today."

Artie rolled by to stop Azimio and Karofsky from attacking Finn in the hallway. Karofsky said, "Come on, man, take him!"

Azimio spouted, "There's a wheelchair kid in the way, man. What if I knock him over?"

"Ah, there's something not right about hitting a kid in a wheelchair."

Beiste looked in on them.

Outside, Rachel asked Finn, "Didn't you like the banana bread I baked you?"

"Yeah, it was awesome. How would you feel if I wasn't on the football team anymore?"

"Well, I'd be pretty happy about it. Then I wouldn't have to sing at your bedside if you were in a coma."

"Yeah."

A car drove up the McKinley parking lot and someone stepped out. A very handsome man of about late 20s to early 30s. This man had short black hair, neatly trim and he was wearing a black jacket and a black knapsack. In an instant, Rachel smiled and her heart started pounding. Rachel quickly turned away so no one could see her blushing.

Brittany and Santana went to the dentist together. In the choir room, Brittany wanted a solo for glee. "I had a Britney Spears fantasy."

Santana said, "I went with her, and I had a Britney fantasy, too. Although I'm not really sure how our fantasies combined. That doesn't make any sense."

Tina looked confused. Brittany said, "It's Britney…bitch."

Rachel thought about herself in Britney's old get-up. She was doing "One More Time." When she woke up, she asked, "Is this real life?"

Carl smiled.

In the teacher's lounge, Sue said to Will, "Is your glee club doing Britney Spears music?"

"No. I did not say that we were doing Britney."

"Good."

Artie said, "Mm. Britney." He rolled in the locker room. He told Beiste, "I'd like you to put me on the football team."

Beiste told Finn, "Get him in his uniform."

Quinn said, "Artie's legs don't move."

Brittany asked, "Did you get a leg transplant."

"No."

Finn said, "We looked it up. There's no rule against it."

Puck said, "I don't get it. Why is everyone having Britney Spears fantasies?"

Artie explained, "The laughing gas dentists use has a hallucinogenic agent. The last thing the patient might think of makes them have a vivid dream. It all stands to reason."

Will said, "Look, I know what you're gonna say. If you guys want to do Britney, then I'm fine with it." Everyone smiled at that.

In the gym, Becky Jackson ran to Sue. "They're doing Britney, Coach."

Sue told her, "As I suspected. Becky, you're my eyes and ears."

"Got it, Coach." She clicked her tongue and winked.

Figgins announced, "Fresh off their third place finish at Regionals, the New Directions." Applause was met. They were all doing "Toxic" and Will with them.

Jacob said, "I love Britney Spears!"

Everyone was cheering and clapping.

Lauren Zizes shouted, "Mr. Shue, let me be your Britney!"

Jacob shouted, "Don't stop doing that! Don't stop doing that!"

Sue said, "It's a Britney Spears sex riot." She pulled the fire alarm. Everyone ran out screaming.

Rachel was too busy picking up her books off the floor. Someone stepped up to her and bent their knees. He handed a book to her and said, "Here you go."

"Oh, thanks." She got a good look at him. It was the same young man from the parking lot. "It's you. I-I've seen you in the parking lot a few days ago. A-Are you a new teacher here or something?"

"Actually, yes."

Rachel felt her face blushing again. "Uh, um, I-I'm Rachel Berry."

"Jack Masterson." They shook hands and stood up. "You're very organized, aren't you?"

"Well, I take pride in my work. Most of the time I just practice my singing. It's always such a hassle, y'know, trying to pick out the right songs, always trying not to step on anyone's toes while dancing, and then there's all the harassment and ridicule that comes with the territory. It's exhausting, nerve-wrecking, and…uh…" Her heart was racing. "Sorry. I'm always talking."

"It's all right. I still have to fill out my applications and get everything set up. I hate having to have a license."

"Well, that is technically the law. Anyway, if you ever need any help on teaching, you could always ask Mr. Schuster or Miss Pillsbury."

"Great. Take care of yourself, okay, Rachel?"

"Yeah. Yeah, you too." And then he walked away with a smile. Rachel couldn't help but smile herself. Her back leaned against the lockers. "I think I just met the perfect guy." Her heart was hammering and her cheeks were red.

In the choir room, she was singing "The Only Exception" by Paramore to Finn. In the hallway, he was talking to Brittany and Santana. Jack walked to Rachel and she smiled.
