Everyone decided to do Michael Jackson music a week later. In the Lima Bean, they were discussing his songs. Sebastian then walked in and greeted Blaine first. Kurt said, with disdain, "Do you live here or something? Seriously, you are always here."
"Oh, hi, Kurt, I almost didn't recognize you. I heard you guys talking and the Warblers are doing Michael for Regionals."
While they're doing a Michael showdown in a parking lot, Sebastian made the big mistake of Slushing Blaine so hard that it hurt his eye.
In the choir room, Will said, "In all my years as a teacher, I've never known a Slushie to do that much damage."
Finn said, "That was not a normal Slushie, Mr. Shue. There were like rocks in it or something."
Kurt said, "Sebastian is evil. He needs to be expelled."
Will said, "Guys, Figgins and I spoke to Dalton's headmaster. Let the security system handle this."
Artie said, "No. Dalton's old school, Mr. Shue. We need payback."
Finn nodded and Mike said, "An eye for an eye."
Will said, "No, I have a zero violence policy of any kind."
Artie said, "No, we sing, and that's all we do."
Will said, "Do you want to get disqualified from Regionals?"
"I don't give a damn about Regionals!" Finn looked at Artie in surprise. Artie continued, "What do you expect from us? We're people. I know the rest of the world might not see us like that, but when they tease us, throw stuff at us, toss us in dumpsters and tell us we're nothing but losers with stupid dreams, it freakin' hurts." Kurt looked somber. "And we're supposed to turn the other cheek and say that our hard work makes us better than them? But it gets pretty hard to feel that way when they always get to win."
Will said, "I get how upsetting this is."
Artie said, "No, you don't. And don't give us any of that 'it gets better' crap. I want it to be better. I want to hurt them, the way they hurt us." Mercedes looked at him with anticipation. "Worse, I want them to feel my pain, because, frankly, that's all I have left to give." That was deep.
Will said, "Artie, take a break."
Rachel still hadn't given Finn an answer to his proposal yet. While Rachel was still a minor, she has confirmed that she does love him. She just wanted to wait until the appropriate time. It was a lot to take in. Kurt and Burt walked into the choir room. Kurt opened his NYADA letter and he found out he's a finalist. They hugged. While Rachel was happy for him, she didn't get her letter yet.
Meanwhile, Santana got Sebastian to confess that he put rock salt in the Slushie that attacked Blaine.
Rachel and Finn were singing in the choir room and Rachel said yes. Finn was so happy. He gave her the ring and the hugged and kissed. Everyone smiled.
In the auditorium, Santana blabbed about what Sebastian did and the other Warblers turned on him. Artie said, "You can have Michael. But just because you can perform him doesn't mean you understand him."
Kurt said, "It wouldn't be as satisfying winning Regionals if you weren't there, suffering the agony of defeat."
Artie said, "Now get the hell out of our auditorium."
Rachel also finally received her NYADA letter. "I'm a finalist!" They hugged. Kurt said, "Congrats!"
"Thank you."
"I knew you would be. Have you told Finn yet?"
In the choir room, Will asked, "What do you all see yourselves doing in the year 2030?"
Rachel and Kurt said, "Broadway. Twinsies."
Artie said, "Maybe walking."
Claire said, "Probably watching the entire How I Met Your Mother series."
Mike raised his eyebrows and nodded at that.
Will said, "The culture is changing. The world is changing. That needs to be reflected in here. So for this week's assignment, try to think of a Spanish song."
Brittany said, "Ooh."
Santana asked, "Why now?"
Will said, "Because it's long overdue."
David Martinez walked in. Rachel said, "Oh, my God. Cutest…"
Sugar said, "Smile…"
Artie said, "Ever." His smiled faded.
Finn said, "What's duende?"
Santana said, "It means dwarf."
Will said, "Yes, it literally means dwarf, but it also means to have soul and inspiration."
In the auditorium one day, Claire and Anne Marie were performing "Fuego" by the Cheetah Girls. Classic.
Rachel said, "Time to turn up the Heatblast." She pressed a button that looked like a flame and the machine sparked. "Okay, that was a little too much of a blast."
Santana asked Will why he was even a Spanish teacher in the first place. Will said it was because it was the only position open at the time. Santana said he was better off teaching glee, so he offered the Spanish class to be taught by Martinez. He was so happy about that that he hugged him.
