The bell rang and Will walked in telling everyone, "All right. Sorry I'm late, guys. I was with Figgins. Bad news. Puckerman's in juvie."

Tina said, "Really was just a matter of time."

Quinn asked, "What did he do?"

Will said, "He drove his mom's Volvo in front of a convenient store and drove off with an ATM."

Rachel asked, "And when is he getting out?"

"Hard to say."

Brittany said, "He may be the dumbest person in the whole world and that's coming from me."

Finn said firmly, "He put his needs before the team's. We need his voice and his stage presence."

Will announced, "Guys, we can't look at this as a crisis. We have to see this as an opportunity to welcome our newest member, Sam Evans." Sam runs in. Quinn took one look at him.

"Hi, everybody," he said. "I'm Sam. Sam I am. And I don't like green eggs and ham."

Santana said, "Wow, this guy has no game." Brittany shook her head.

Finn shook his hand and said, "You're not gonna regret joining, Sam."

Will asked, "What's a duet? It's when two great singing voices come together. So, this week, I want each of you to sing a duet, and I'm making this a competition."

Mike asked, "What does the winner get?"

Will said, "Dinner for two on me at Breadstix."

Santana said, "I have to win."

Brittany said, "I know."

Mercedes asked, "Who are you gonna sing with, Kurt?"

Rachel and Finn were singing, "Don't Go Breaking My Heart." When they were done, Finn said, "We're totally gonna win."

Rachel looked sad, "Yeah."

Finn said, "Well, don't feel bad. Breadstix has vegan meatballs. They're okay."

Rachel said, "We have to throw the competition."

"But I love Breadstix."

"No, Sam has to win the contest. That way he can feel like he belongs."

Finn smiled, "Wow, Rachel, I've never seen you like this. I'm kind of impressed."

"Well, you inspired me. You're so kind and open. I'm selfish."

"Not all the time. But I still like you."

Sam got Slushed and Quinn helped clean him up. He told her, "Lore Menari. It's Navi. The language from Avatar. It means you have pretty eyes." Quinn smiled.

Mercedes and Santana were singing, "River Deep, Mountain High" in the choir room. Everyone loved it. Even the bongo player.

In Will's office, we are introduced to two new part-time teachers. Anne Marie Tompkins and Ian Rivers. Anne Marie was a young blonde woman with bright blue eyes, freckles on her nose, a happy smile and a heart of gold. Ian was a happy, handsome kind of guy who seems to know more about spunk than music, but he seemed to be the fun and fun-loving type.

Anne Marie knocked. "Hi, excuse me. Are you Will Schuester?"

Will said, "Yes. Can I help you?"

Anne said, "I'm Anne Marie Tompkins. This is Ian Rivers. We're kinda transfer teachers from LA." Will raised his eyebrows, somewhat impressed.

Ian said, "We heard you had a bit of a budget problem, so we decided we'd come and help."

Will said, "Well, that's great. Can either of you guys sing?"

In the auditorium, Anne Marie and Ian Rivers were doing a duet of "What I've Been Looking For" from High School Musical. Applause and cheering occurred. Will said, "Wow. That was really something, guys. That was fun. Thank you."

Claire and Henry really liked these two. Anne Marie and Ian held hands and took a bow.

Sam said, "I love astronomy. That red one is Mars, planet of love."

Quinn said, "Mars is actually the planet of war."

Sam said, "Oh, that's right. Venus is the planet of love. So, what do you think of the new recruits?"

Quinn said, "Well, Claire and Henry definitely look like they have a future here. Miss Tompkins and Mr. Rivers are pretty cool, too. I think that they're just too…happy."

"Well, what's wrong with happy?"

"Nothing at all."

In Rachel's room, she and Finn had decided not to sing, so as to give the new kids a chance.

Finn said, "So, what'd you think of the new guys? Pretty sweet, right?"

Rachel said, "Yeah, I kinda liked them. You know, having Anne Marie and Ian on our team might brighten our chances to beat Vocal Adrenaline. Maybe."

Finn said, "Yeah, I can't wait to see what else they have in store for us."

"Hey, what do you think about Claire and Henry?"

"Oh, those guys? Yeah, they're pretty legit. That Claire kid seemed kind of shy, though."

"Oh, she just needs a little confidence boost. She has an amazing voice. She just doesn't give herself enough credit. Maybe she's just being modest."

"What do you think we should do?"

Rachel was never one to shy away from a singing competition, but if it was for the good of the team, she know what she had to do in order to get in their good graces. After all, she loves performing but hates being disregarded.

In the gym, Henry was punching a bag. Finn said, "Hey, Henry."

"Hi. You're Finn, right?" They shake hands.

"Yeah, great to officially meet you. You look kind of familiar, though."

"Yeah, I get that all the time. Some people think I sound like C-3PO."

"Star Wars is awesome. Anyway, I hear you're new to the football team and the glee club. How do you like it so far?"

"Honestly, I don't mind all the praise. Some of the guys around here, not cool. Like that one guy and his best friend or whatever." Finn looked confused but Henry went on, "Always pushing people into lockers." Then Finn understood, "Azimio and Karofsky. Yeah. I know what you mean. You're gonna want to stay away from those guys."

In the choir room, Mike said, "I don't think I can do this."

Tina said, "It's the perfect song for this situation."

They were doing a Sing number. Mike was debuting. Kurt was surprised.

Everyone clapped. Will said, "Now that is a duet! Everyone, give it up for the amazing voice of Mike Chang!"

The next day, Claire and Henry were singing a duet together. "Magic" by Colbie Caillat.

Mike clapped but Tina stopped him.

Mercedes said, "Okay, do I even need to say it?"

Sam said, "That was really weird."

Tina said, "Like, super weird."

Will said, "Uh, I have to agree. That was a great duet, guys, but what you did with it was…really unusual. Frankly, I'm stunned."

Brittany said, "I liked it."

Kurt said, "They do sound pretty good together."

Will said, "Okay. Back on track. Who's next?"

Quinn and Sam stood up. Sam said, "I just want to say I'm really excited and I couldn't have asked for a better partner." He strummed his guitar and they were singing, "Lucky" by Jason Mraz and Colbie Callait. Santana scoffed, "So freaking charming."

Applause was met at that.

Rachel voted for Claire and Henry. Finn voted for Quinn and Sam. Kurt voted for Anne Marie and Ian. Mercedes voted for herself and "Satan". Mike voted for Tina. Quinn voted for herself and Sam. She clicked her pen. Will tallied up the votes. "Okay. The winner is…by two votes…Quinn and Sam!"

Santana said, "What?! No. Screw that!" Mercedes grabbed her and said, "Let it go! Let go."

Anne Marie and Ian are in second. Those two may not be students, but they certainly do have a lot of energy. Claire and Henry came in third. Their voices are always so great together, and despite their efforts, there was still room to improve.
