When it was prom night, Brittany decided that the theme should be dinosaurs. No one else seemed too keen on the idea. Only Santana seemed to like it. What idiots. Rachel wanted to have a little anti-prom party. Kurt and Blaine liked that idea, so they all went to a hotel room with Claire, Anne Marie and Ian.

At the prom, Tina and Mike walked in together. Mike said, "This is pretty awesome. I actually love dinosaurs."

On the stage, Brittany and two others were performing Weird Al's Jurassic Park.

At the Red Rooster Hotel, Rachel opened a door. Kurt was wearing a top hat. Blaine was wearing a tuxedo. Claire and Anne Marie put on their dresses. Ian was wearing his suit.

Kurt said, "Oh, look, there are chocolates on the pillows."

Blaine said, "Ooh, they have room service."

Anne Marie said, "Oh, and a minibar."

Ian said, "So, uh, what should we do now?"

Claire said, "We could play charades. Or Pictionary. Or even go fish if we had a deck of cards."

Blaine said, "All very natural friend activities."

Rachel said, "Well, whatever we do, it'll be better than prom."

Kurt said, "Yeah, who wants to be in that stupid old gym, anyway?"

Blaine said, "Well, I wouldn't mind watching a little TV. Maybe some Bravo?"

Claire said, "Oh, I know. We could watch The Golden Girls prom episode. What a Difference a Date Makes."

Rachel smiled at her. Kurt said, "I like that idea, but I don't know if it's gonna be airing tonight."

Claire said, "We could watch the Prom movie from last year."

Anne Marie said, "I don't think so."

Rachel said, "Well, I'd love to show you all my dress. I wouldn't want it to go to waste. It's in my car, I'll go get it."

At the gym, Santana was singing "Love You Like a Love Song." Mercedes and Sam were dancing together.

In the hotel room, Claire and Anne Marie were singing "Up On the Roof" by the Drifters. There was a knock on the door. Claire opened it. "Finn?"

"Hey, Claire." He walked in. "Where's Rachel?"

Anne Marie said, "Oh, she's in the bathroom. I guess she must still be putting on her dress."

Rachel came out wearing the most beautiful dress anybody's ever laid their eyes on. "Okay, let the extravaganza begin." Finn was in awe.

Claire said, "Wow. You look gorgeous, Rachel."

"Aw, thanks, Claire."

Finn said, "I'll keep it simple. I love you, you're beautiful. Prom sucks without you." He gave her a corsage. "Prom sucks without all of you. This could be the last time we're all together like this. I want to dance with my girl and my friends."

After the others left, they walked in the gym. Will and Emma were dancing together, saw them walk in and smiled.

Brittany said, "So glad you guys could make it."

Finn said, "Better late than never, right? Come on, let's dance."

Claire said, "Got any 3s?"

Anne said, "Nope, go fish. Got any 2s?"

Ian said, "Go fish. Got any 7s?"

Claire said, "Ah you got me." She put her cards face down. "I miss Henry."

Anne Marie said, "Well, Claire, we miss him, too."

Claire said, "It's just not gonna be the same without some of the others."

Ian said, "That's okay, Claire, you're with us."

Claire wanted to have a little fun, so she made some cardboard crowns for Anne Marie and Ian and made them king and queen.

Anne asked, "What are you doing?"

"We haven't had our own prom king and queen yet. First, we need a king. Ian Rivers." He put it on him.

Ian smiled giddily, "Cool."

"And now we need a queen, hmm. Anne Marie Tompkins, I crown you as queen of our own prom."

Anne smiled, "Wow. I'm so happy."

Claire asked, "What do you say we get out of here?"

They all walked in the gym proudly. Tina poured herself a glass of punch and smiled when she saw them. Most of the other students clapped and cheered. Anne Marie waved. Will and Emma smiled at them. Sue is so stupid.

Figgins announced, "This year's prom king is…hmm. Mr. Finn Hudson." Everyone clapped and cheered.

Blaine shouted, "Go, Finn!"

"This year's prom queen is…with another number of write-in votes for the second year in a row, I would like to welcome to the stage…Miss Rachel Berry."

Rachel was stunned, but everyone clapped and cheered. As well they should. Rachel deserved to be prom queen, after everything she did this year. She helped Kurt try to win the student election, even though he wrongfully gave the position to Brittany, she helped Finn try to find his passion and dream, she even helped Shelby with Jack. A girl told her, "Good job."

Anne Marie said, "Yeah, Rachel!"

Ian said, "Whoo!"

Claire said, "All right!"

When Rachel was dancing with Finn, she was worried that someone might purposely spill blood on her. "Is this some kind of joke?"

Finn said, "Hey, look at me. You're beautiful, you're sexy, and you really earned this. You're an inspiration to everyone in this room, from where you began to where you are now. You're amazing."

Mike said, "Hey, are you crying?"

Tina said, "I just don't want it to end."

"Prom night?"

"Everything. This whole year. I never want it to end."

Henry walked in the gym. Claire ran to him. They kissed. Mercedes said, "Praise."

Sam said, "Somehow I knew he'd show up."

They were all in Chicago for Nationals. Poor Mercedes got food poisoning and a fever. Will walked in, "How bad is it?"

Sue said, "She has a 101-degree fever."

Santana said, "We went to Chipotle and she wanted to try some dive called Señora Salsation."

"We need to have a plan."

Will said, "Quinn, you're stepping in."

Quinn said, "No, no, no. I can't."

"The Trouble-Tones need you."

Tina said, "And you're better thank you think you are."

Will said, "Tina, you too."

Mercedes said, "Mr. Shue, this is my last performance. I don't want to miss it."

Sue said, "Amen to that, sister." She decided to help her.

Everyone was completely stressing out in another room. Beiste said, "We have a problem."

Claire said, "Gee, and everything was going so great up until now."

Will said, "This is a good thing. A great thing. Even though you're all arguing, it's about the work. There is so much passion in this room. You really want this."

Tina said, "Mr. Shue, the first spot is the death slot. We have to be amazing."

Quinn said, "Yeah, Edge of Glory's a bitch."

The next day, everyone gathered around. Will said, "Finn?"

Finn said, "Mr. Shue. We were wondering what we wanted to win this for, and we all said the same thing. We want to win this for you. And I know Figgins gives our the Teacher of the Year Award every year, but none of us need to think about that."

Will said, "Thank you, Finn. All of you. I love you guys so much. Showtime. Come on, bring it in."

Mercedes opened the door. "Now I know you're not doing a show circle without me."

Tina said, "Mercedes! You're alive."

"Yeah, thanks to Sue."

Sue said, "Well, it's nothing a little TLC can't fix."

Quinn said, "Thank God. I do not want to fall on my face during that number."

Mercedes said, "Screw that. This is our last time performing together. You're doing it, and so are you, Tina. I'm not taking no for an answer."

They all put their hands up. "Amazing!"

Beiste was eating chocolates. Sue said, "Dick Butkus, chew with your mouth closed."

"Sorry. I'm as nervous as a cat in a room full of rocking chairs."

The announcer said, "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 48th annual National Show Choir Competition! And now, the judges: America's sweetheart, Lindsay Lohan! Hollywood gossip legend, Perez Hilton! And city council member, Martin Fong!" Also known as Rex Lee.

Quinn said, "The Unholy Trinity."

Santana said, "Starting together, ending together."

Brittany said, "Just the way it should be."

The announcer called, "From McKinley High in Lima, Ohio, the New Directions!"

They were all singing "Edge of Glory."

Finn said, "This is your moment. Three years in the making. Take it."

Rachel was singing "It's All Coming Back to Me Now." To her surprise, Carmen Tibideaux walked in.

Everyone gathered together and they all sang "The Wayfarers" from Skyway Flyer. Paradise! The crowd went wild. Tibideaux whistled.

Kurt walked in with Mercedes and holding a white tulip.

Mercedes said, "We cane to tell Unique to break a leg and give her this flower."

Wade said, "Well, Unique has left the building. Try as I might, I can't conjure her."

Kurt said, "Wade, this is just stage fright. You were a smash last time."

"That was different! Nobody knew Unique. All I ever wanted to do was be my true self and sing."

Mercedes said, "You may not be able to handle it, but Unique can."

Kurt said, "You have to move through that fear and expectation. That's what real stars do."

Wade took the flower. "Aren't we supposed to be enemies?"

Mercedes said, "That's not how we roll in the New Directions."

Kurt said, "Not our style."

Wade said, "Ruby rose or sugar red?"

"Sugar red."

Mercedes said, "Definitely. Break a leg."

Kurt said, "Break a heel."

The announcer said, "And now, please welcome from Carmel High in Akron, Ohio, Vocal Adrenaline!" They all performed with Wade in his Unique outfit. They all did "Starships" and "Pinball Wizard." Kurt and Mercedes stood up. The judges were thrilled.

In the judges' room, Martin walked in. "I have a confession to make. I am a show choir junkie."

Lindsay said, "Whoa, whoa, whoa. Oh, my God! Seriously? Did you just blog about me?"

Perez said, "It already has over 3 million hits. If you don't like show choir, Lindsay Lohan, why are you even here?"

Martin said, "If you have to ask why a 12-time Teen Choice nominee is a celebrity judge, then you don't really know what the word celebrity means."

Lindsay said, "That's right. I was robbed of Freaky Friday. And I'm here, Perez, because I care about young artists chasing impossible dreams. I know them. I feel them. I was them."

Perez said, "I for one was moved by the Scale Blazers' haunting homage to Starlight Express."

Martin said, "You know who I was really impressed with? The New Directions. They had so much energy. Oh, but last year in New York, they let the new guys perform. It was awesome, but they still lost."

Lindsay said, "You know, I liked them, too. But is there anything better than someone making a comeback?"

Perez said, "Please. I'm Vocal Adrenaline all the way. That Unique kid is a star. Just imagine how much it would mean to see him/her on national television."

Martin said, "This isn't televised."

Lindsay said, "What? I'm here and there isn't even a red button to push? Really? I'm seriously firing my manager."

Martin said, "This is serious."

Perez said, "We need to vote now."

Lindsay said, "I know who I'm voting for. What about you, Fong-er?"

Wow. Martin was at a loss for words. Perez Hilton is just a dumb, stupid ass!

Jesse ran to Carmen. "Excuse me. Miss Tibideaux? I'm Jesse St. James, I'm the coach of Vocal Adrenaline. I sang for you two years ago. You said I showed promise."

"I'm sure you did. But I see hundreds of people every day."

"I'm not here for me. There's something you need to know. Rachel Berry is the most talented person I've ever met, bar none. If anyone's gonna be a star someday, it's her. She'll make a great contribution to NYADA. You won't regret it. Anyway, thanks for your time."

"Giants in the Sky. You sang Giants in the Sky from Into the Woods. You ran into complications with your breath work, but your passion and vocal range were admirable. Good luck to you."

Everyone gathered on stage.

The announcer said, "And now, it's time to award this year's individual MVP award. From Vocal Adrenaline, Wade "Unique" Adams!" Applause and cheering. Unique smiled. The other members were so happy for her. "And now, a round of applause for the top three finalists. In third place…the Portland Scale Blazers!" Applause and cheering. "Congratulations to both teams. The 2012 National Show Choir Champion is…from McKinley High, the New Directions!" Confetti popped. Everyone was cheering and applauding loudly. Rachel and Will hugged. Mercedes and Santana hugged. Sam kissed Puck's head. Sue pointed in approval.

When they all got back, everyone was waiting for them. There was a big "Congratulations." They had cups. Instead of Slushies, there was confetti. Tina and Mike kissed. Two girls kissed Rory's cheeks. A hockey player hugged Kurt. Santana and Becky gave each other the thumbs up. Brittany and Santana kissed. Rachel and Finn also kissed. Sue shook hands with Figgins. Roz glared at her. Will and Emma were ready to get intimate. In the choir room, they popped the bubbly and Santana kissed the side of Artie's head. Claire hugged Anne Marie and Ian. Then the next day, Rachel signed another girl's yearbook. Will opened the glass case and put the tall trophy inside it.

Anne Marie and Ian walked. Ian asked, "What do you think Figgins wants with us?"

Anne said, "Maybe we're getting a key to the city or something."

Figgins said, "Anne Marie Tompkins and Ian Rivers. Take a seat." They sat down. "As co-coaches of the national victorious New Directions group, please accept these official McKinley High School teaching licenses and bumper stickers."

Ian said, "Wow."

"McKinley is having a very special event tomorrow and I am requesting that New Directions perform."

Anne Marie said, "Yeah, okay."

Ian said, "Yeah, absolutely. What?"

Figgins asked, "Can you keep a secret?"

The next night, everyone was all dressed up.

Will said, "Thank you. For everything. This year has been amazing."

Emma said, "My pleasure. Literally."

Mrs. Hagberg announced her retirement. Figgins said, "And now, Teacher of the Year, please welcome to the stage, to announce the winner, Finchel."

Rachel and Finn walked to the podium.

Finn said, "Hi, the 2012 William McKinley High School Teacher of the Year is…"

Rachel said, "Mr. Will Schuester!"

Applause and cheering. Emma kissed his cheek. Sue shook his hand and said, "Way to go, buddy."

Will got up and hugged all of them. Then he lifted his award.
