They were at Sectionals, and Jane Addams were performing. The look on Mercedes' face said it all. Rachel turned to her and said, "It's a really popular song." Then they were performing "Proud Mary" in wheelchairs. Artie found that offensive. If Tina Turner saw this performance, she would've felt appalled, ridiculed and insulted. Then Haverbrook started to sing, "Don't Stop Believing" and the look on Emma's face was priceless. Rachel called a meeting and they were in another room.

Kurt said to Brittany and Santana, "You leaked the setlist. You don't want to be here. You're just Sue Sylvester's little rats."

Quinn walked in saying, "I know for a fact that's true."

Santana said, "Look, we might still be Cheerios, but we never gave Sue the setlist."

Brittany spoke, "Well, I did, but I didn't know what she was gonna do with it." Terrific. (Sarcasm)

Santana went on, "Look, believe what you want, but no one's forcing us to be here, and if any of you tell anyone this, I'll deny it, but I like being in glee club. It's the best part of my day, okay? I wasn't gonna go and screw it up." She sat down.

Rachel told her, "I believe you," and Santana smiled at that. ("Thanks.")

Rachel said to everyone else, "We have to go on in an hour."

Tina said, "And we have no songs."

Artie said, "Perhaps I could improvise some of my def poetry jams. No?"

Rachel said, "Okay. Let's start with a ballad. Mercedes, do you have anything else in your repertoire?"

Mercedes said, "Yeah, but it's not as good as anything you're gonna sing."

"No, we agreed."

"We agreed that I would sing, and it ain't happening. Look, Rachel, the truth is, you're the best singer that we have."

Kurt said, "As much as it pains me to admit, she's right. Rachel's our star. If anyone's gonna belt it out on the fly, it's her."

Rachel said, "Well, I do have something I've been working on since I was four."

Quinn said, "Then it looks like we have our ballad."

Puck said, "Yeah, that and a can of soup will guarantee us third place. We still need a song we can all sing together."

Finn walked in with papers. "I have one." He set them down. "Mike, Matt, Brittany, Santana, you're our best dancers."

Mike said, "It's gonna be choppy."

Finn said, "Good. We're best when we're loose."

When they were performing, Rachel gave a stunning performance of "Don't Rain on My Parade." They were all dressed up in black and red. Applause and cheers sounded. "Ladies and gentlemen, New Directions." The audience sat down, and they all performed "You Can't Always Get What You Want." Will and Emma were amazed. After they were done with their second song, the judges were debating.

Candace Dystra started, "Okay, I'm just gonna say it. This is a singing competition. I don't know how those deaf kids got in. They weren't singing. They were, like, honking and everyone was crying, and I was like, 'Get off the stage, you're terrible.'"

The man in the room, who looked a lot like Jay O. Sanders, turned around with a glass of water in his hand. "In all the right places."

Donna Landries spouted, "Can I just say something? I have no idea what the hell I'm doing here. I'm serious. I don't understand what a glee club is and I've never even heard the term 'show choir' until about three hours ago when my boss told me he had tickets to NASCAR and I had to fill in at this fool event. Those Jane Adam girls? I'll be damned if I had to pay hundreds of thousands of taxpayers dollars to that school so they can parade their behinds around like a bunch of hooch-y hoes!"

Candace flipped a magazine while saying, "The McKinley group was good. They didn't seem all that rehearsed, but I like their energy."

The Jay look-alike said, "Well, I must admit I do have a soft spot for the Rolling Stones."

Donna stated, "I seriously have no idea what either one of you are talking about. I mean, if I had to pick a group I hated the least…" She was gonna say McKinley, wasn't she? I mean, that woman is not really excited about any show choir or musical.

The New Directions were standing outside the door. It opened and they got out. Candace said, "You guys were so much fun to watch! You should be really proud." They smiled at that.

Donna gave her a shove and started walking, "Get me the hell out of here!" Rude much?

Figgins shouted, "Sue! As of today, you are no longer captain of the Cheerios!"

"I beg your pardon?!" "All this time, I have looked past this because of your monkey shines. But you have gone too far. You have disgraced yourself and besmirched the name of William McKinley!"

"An unknown president!"

"Oh, please. One of the greatest who ever lived!"

Sue stormed out, furious. No doubt plotting revenge. She'll be back, alright. She'll be back.

Figgins said, "Shue, in light of Sue's recent meddling, I have set the record straight with the school board and am reinstating you as glee club teacher."

Will smiled and shook his hand. "Thank you, sir." Figgins winked and nodded. "Good job."

In the choir room, Finn said, "We have a few things to tell you, Mr. Shue. First…" New Directions won first place, and Will was so happy. They showed him the trophy, he laughed and they cheered. "I am so proud of you guys. You won fair and square. The vote was unanimous and the judges didn't even know about all the shenanigans going on behind the scenes. You've earned this. But…" He set the trophy down. "…next we have Regionals. So, let's get started."

Puck said, "Uh, Mr. Shue. Wait, there's just one more thing."

Rachel said, "Since you weren't there to see us perform, we put together a special number just for you. Take a seat!"

They started performing "My Life Would Suck Without You." He ran to Emma and kissed her. They smiled.
