Episode Synopsis: With Sectionals near, it is revealed to New Directions that Dalton Academy and The Hipsters are their competition. Will announces the Glee Club's second annual mash-up Boys vs. Girls competition. Will changes the competition with a twist for Kurt so boys perform songs originally written for female artists and the girls to sing songs traditionally sung by male artists. When Kurt tries to prep up the boys, they send him to investigate at Dalton Academy with Rory coming along with him, where they meet Blaine and Kurt begins to fall in love. At the same time, Kurt struggles with bullying at school and Coach Beiste is picked after Finn and Sam find an unconventional way of controlling their urges, a few Glee Club members pick up on the strategy and start using it too. But when Coach Beiste gets wind of what they are up to, the Glee Club has some explaining to do.
Ryan Murphy owns this story and characters.
Sam had just finished football practice, and decided to cool off the sweat. He even had someone put ice in the water. It wasn't a problem for him. Apparently when you date someone like Quinn, you gotta be ready for the heat and the cold.
Finn noticed this and was fazed. "Dude. How do you stand that coldtub?"
"Get used to cold showers dating Quinn." Sam replied.
FLASHBACK, QUINN'S BEDROOM
They were making out on. Quinn's bed and Sam put his hand on her thigh, which she quickly removed. "No."
"C'mon, a little something-something." Sam pleaded.
"A little something-something always leads to something more. I've been there, remember? When we're Prom King and Queen, it'll feel just as good as a little something-something." Quinn declined, much to Sam's chagrin.
FLASHBACK END
"Been there, dude. Actually, still there now. How did we find the only two girls in high school that won't put out?" Finn wonders.
"What do you do, though?" Sam asked, desperate.
"Well, easy. I just think about the opposite of what I'm doing. Whenever I make out with Rachel, I just remember the time I accidentally ran over a mailman."
"I've never actually almost killed a civil servant before."
"Well, you gotta find something to be your own buzzkill. You know, something that is totally not hot."
"I don't care! If you're on this football team, you'll wear a cup!" They noticed Beiste scolding Artie for not wearing a cup.
"Hey, ever notice that when the Beiste gets all fired up, her underpants go right up her butt?"
Sam did notice this, and it gave him an idea. "Looks like I found my mailman."
"Yes, you did."
Everyone gathers at the Choir Room later that day to discuss their game plan.
"Alright guys, let's get down to business! First, let's welcome back Noah Puckerman." Mr. Schue announced.
Rory pats Puck's shoulder. "Glad to have you back Puck. Good to see you brother."
"Uhh, sure bud." Puck said confused before turning away. Rory knew it was the accent and rolled his eyes.
"Puck, I hope your time in juvie has taught you a lesson or two about right and wrong?" Mr. Schue said.
"Are you kidding me? I ruled that place. All I did was crack skulls and lift weights all day." Puck replied.
"Oh, what a catch, can't believe I ever let you go." Quinn remarked.
"And now, drumroll, Finn! Because I have in my hand our competition for sectionals next month." Mr. Schue announced as Finn did a drum roll. Rory laughed while everyone cheered.
"Okay." Rachel responded.
"First, the acapella group from the all-boys private school in Westerville, the Dalton Academy Warblers." Mr. Schue continued.
"Yeah!" Finn exclaimed.
"Okay, hold up. Like a million awesome gay jokes just popped into my head." Santana interjected.
Kurt glared as Rory patted his back.
"And the other team to beat, the Hipsters. A first-year club from the Warren township continuing education program. Now, they are a glee club composed entirely of elderly people getting their high school GEDs." Mr. Schue explained.
"Is that legal?" Rachel asked.
"How are we supposed to compete against a bunch of adorable old people?" Mercedes wondered.
"Are you kidding? Brittle bones. Give one of those old ladies a good luck pat on the rear, it'll shatter her pelvis." Puck joked.
"Oh my god!" Rory exclaimed.
"Moving on. Since this seems to get you guys jazzed about sectionals last year, I wanna make this week our second annual boys versus girls tournament. So! Split up into two groups, and, uh, figure out which songs you're gonna sing." Mr. Schue said.
"Okay, I have mash-up ideas in my emergency mash-up…" Rachel mentioned.
"Kurt, gonna say it again. Boys team." Mr. Schue stated without even looking.
Kurt walked back to the boys side, bummed about not being able to be with the people he's closer to. Rory grabs him by the shoulder in sympathy.
"Hope you girls are ready to lose, because this year we won't be needing drugs to win." Finn said, with challenge to the girls, getting their attention and smirks.
"Yeah! Wait did he say drugs?" Sam asked Rory, who just shrugged with the same look of confusion.
"Wow. Okay, you must be dumber than you look if you think you and your awkward dance moves have any chance against us bad-asses, and Berry." Santana accused with a smirk, with Rachel's dropping with furrowed eyebrows.
"Other then Santana's rude and completely incorrect slam on me, I agree." Rachel said.
"Well, the rude thing is the only thing I agree with. You gals are going down. Down unda'." Sam said with an Australian impression.
"Oh it's on Trouty Mouth." Santana said before turning to the band. "Hit it."
The band then begin a slow beat for the intro of "It's On" from Camp Rock
Sam:

Santana:

Everyone cheers and start high-fiving each other before splitting up to come up with game plans.
Rory looked around the hallway before finding Kurt.
"Hey, Kurt. I couldn't help but notice that you were leaning to the girls side." Rory said, slightly concerned.
"Oh, yeah. It's nothing personal. It's just that I'm more comfortable around the girls. They get me, you know. i tried having some 'bro chats' with them back when I was the kicker for the football team, but they mostly laughed at me and they spend a lot of time talking about how hot a girl is." Kurt explains.
"Ooh. I get it. Not your type of crowd?" Rory tried to empathize.
"Yeah."
"Alright. Honestly I just thought that it was because you felt like a miss Hummel." Kurt glared at him in irritation. Most likely because people call him Lady Hummel. "I'm not making fun. I'm just saying that happens to people. I looked it up." Rory explains, noticing the glare.
"Oh. Well then that's pretty sweet then." Kurt compliments before being shoved into a locker by Karofsky. This is the second time today that he's done that. Enough was enough. "What is your problem?" Kurt asks, greatly angry.
Karofsky turns to Kurt. "You talking back to me? You want a piece of the Fury?" Karofsky replies.
"The Fury?" Rory questions.
"It's what I named my fist," Karofsky says.
"Well, with that level of creativity, you could easily become assistant manager at a rendering plant," Kurt retorts. Rory chuckles for a second before getting shoved by Karofsky.
"I don't know what that is, but if I find out it's bad, the Fury's gonna find you," Karofsky warns, shoving Kurt again and walking away. Mr. Schue notices and takes the duo to his office to talk.
"Is there anything that I could do?" Mr. Schue asks, offering Kurt a cup of water. Rory wasn't feeling as bad for himself since any shoves he's gotten was from being Irish. You can fake an American accent (or in his case, try and fail) but you can't always fake being straight, nor does Kurt want to. Rory felt bad for him.
"No. This is my hill to climb alone," Kurt responds.
"Can I be honest? I think it's getting to you. Usually this stuff rolls right off your back, but lately you've been belligerent, angry, pushing people away," Mr. Schue says.
"Can I be honest with you? You, like everyone else at this school, are too quick to let homophobia slide. And your lesson plans are boring and repetitive. Boys versus girls? That doesn't challenge any of us," Kurt replies.
"You mean because I didn't let you join the girls like you wanted?" Mr. Schue inquires.
"To answer your question, yes. I'm unhappy. And yes, being the only out gay kid at this school gets me down. But most of all, I'm not challenged in the least here," Kurt explains before leaving.
Rory stands up to follow Kurt. "I just want to say I'm fine. I mean, I get pushed around some times, but I try not to let it get to me."
"Good to hear, but be sure to come to me if you need help okay?"
"Yes sir." Rory nods to Mr. Schue before leaving the office.
Mr. Schue got an idea after talking with Kurt and Rory. He decided to switch things up, though he did get a little resistance from the club. "I'm not tossing the baby out with the bath water here," Mr. Schue states.
"I've totally done that," Brittany chimes in.
"We're just making an adjustment. Boys, you are now doing songs traditionally sung by girls groups. And girls, try some classic rock. Uh, the Who, the Stones. The more opposite your choice, the more choice you get," Mr. Schue continues.
"Sorry for the AC/DC Medley. To be honest, I'm more of a Celtic Thunder fan, but still." Rory consoled the saddened Sam.
"Don't worry, gentlemen. I have this one under control," Kurt assures them.
Kurt gathered the boys to a classroom where he showed them a board of a picture of himself with a bunch of clothing options. "Now! Obviously for this medley to work, I'm gonna have to sing lead, and of course when you're singing Diana Ross, feather boas are a must," Kurt declares.
"Isn't this lesson about opposites? I mean, you in a sequin gown and feather boa is exactly what you'd expect," Artie points out.
"Okay, who said anything about a gown?" Kurt responds.
"Uh, dude. Why don't you make yourself useful and go put some rat poison in them old folks' jell-o or visit the Garglers?" Puck suggests.
"The Warblers," Kurt corrects him.
"Whatever. See what they're up to. And you can wear all the feathers you want. You'll blend right in," Puck jokes.
"...Fine," Kurt reluctantly agrees. He grabs the board and goes. Rory stands up, looks angrily at Puck before leaving to follow Kurt.
"Hey, Kurt. Can I go with you? I feel like you could use a friend right now. Plus I need a break from Puck. He has no idea what I'm saying."
FLASHBACK, HALLWAY
Rory handed Puck a box. "So, I decided to give you a gift. It's a traditional Flanagan family gift of good luck and blessings. And now that you've left the slammer, I thought you would like it."
Puck opens the box and sees a rug that says Irish Blessings on it. "Oh, cool. A rug. I don't get why you're giving me this, but my man-cave could use a way to cover the dust, so thanks." He said before walking away with it... and dragging it across the floor.
FLASHBACK END
"And with that and Brittany and Santana constantly dropping rice next to my lunch area it's very tiring. I'm pretty sure Santana's just making fun of me."
Kurt smiles sympathetically. "Aren't we all. Sure, you can come along. I have a spare weather jacket. Hopefully when we wear them they'll think we're Dalton students and won't notice the difference." Kurt and Rory just stood around for a moment before Kurt broke the silence. "You know what I like about you Rory?"
"That we look like we could be twins?" Rory jokes. Kurt laughs with him.
"No. Though I admit when I first met you, I thought you were my long lost Irish brother." They laughed again. "But really, it's because you remind me of me a lot. We're both struggling Glee kids with impeccable hair style taste being pushed around by the jocks for being who we are? I mean, why do bad things always happen to good people?"
Rory shrugs. "Well, at least we have our favorite musical artist to help us in our troubled times."
"Diana Ross/Elvis." They both said at the same time, causing awkward silence. "Let's just go." They both walk away.
In the evening, Sam was having a passionate make-out session with Quinn again, and it was getting pretty heated.
"This hot enough for you?" Quinn asks, as she leaned them back. Sam was having trouble with himself so he pictured Beiste cutting meat in a nightgown. It helped until Quinn pushed it further.
"Say my name, Sam. I said, say my name," she insists. How did this girl not wanna sleep with him. He had to try again. He pictured Beiste in a Cheerios outfit saying the same thing.
"Beiste," Sam replies.
Quinn pulled back, weirded out. "Are you okay?" Quinn asks.
"Yeah. I could do this for hours," Sam responds, not realizing his mistake.
"I know what I heard. There we were, making out, and he said it. Beiste. I think he was picturing making out with her," Quinn tells Sue.
"That is the most horrific image I can imagine," Sue replies.
"Coach, I need help. I've done everything I can to rebuild my image. I'm getting straight As, dating the cutest guy at school—" Quinn explains.
"Who would rather be dry-humping She-Hulk. Oh, dear God. Why did I say that, now that's what I'm picturing. You know what kind of disgusting images I'm gonna have to look at to get this outta my head? I'm gonna have to go straight to the womb care center, I'll have to stare at some wombs," Sue responds.
"Coach, I really don't know what to do," Quinn says.
"Wait. This may be the opportunity I've been waiting for. A way to get Beiste out of this school and get your Macaulay Culkin stunt double back in your arms," Sue announces.
"What do I have to do?" Quinn asks her coach.
"We need to go public with your pain. Get people talking about this. Turn Beiste into the next Mary Kay Letourneau. And you need to give him a piece of your mind. Loud. And in public. Show him who's the boss. Oh, man. Now I'm picturing the two of them making out during an episode of Who's The Boss," Sue concludes.
Dalton Academy
Next day, Kurt gave Rory his spare coat and they went to Dalton. It was pretty fancy. There were a lot of guys there, so it's gotta be good. As the duo looked around, they saw a bunch of kids rushing to the same direction down a staircase to a certain hall.
"Uh, what's going on?" Rory asked. Kurt shrugged before turning to the first person he saw.
"Oh, excuse me. Um, hi. Can I ask you a question? Me and my brother new here." Kurt asks.
"Yes, we are both new. We are very real students, and here to learn." Rory lied, very badly. "Nailed it." Rory whispered, also very badly.
"My name's Blaine." Blaine introduces himself ignoring Rory.
"So what exactly is going on?" Kurt inquires.
"The Warblers! Every now and then they throw an impromptu performance in the senior commons. Tends to shut the school up for a while." Blaine explains.
"So, wait, the glee club here is kind of cool?" Kurt asks, surprised.
"The Warblers are like rock stars. Come on, I know a shortcut." Blaine grabs Kurt's hand and runs with him, with Rory following from behind. They kept running until they reached the choir room. While Rory looked around, feeling amazed by the decoration, Kurt observed nervously.
"Ooh, we stick out like a sore thumb." Kurt observes, feeling out of place.
"Well, next time, don't forget your jackets, new kids. You'll fit right in. Now, if you'll excuse me." Blaine says before stepping aside.
{Blaine and The Warblers sing "Teenage Dream."}
Blaine with The Warblers harmonizing:
Before you met me,
I was alright, but things,
Were kinda heavy
You brought me to life
Now every February,
You'll be my Valentine, Valentine
Blaine with The Warblers (Blaine):
Let's go all the way tonight
No regrets, just love
We can dance until we die (The Warblers: Until we die)
You and I, (we'll be young forever!)
You make me (feel like I'm livin' a) teenage dream
(The way you turn me on)
I can't sleep (Let's run away and,)
Don't ever look back, don't ever look back
Blaine with The Warblers (Blaine):
Let's go all the way tonight
No regrets, just love
We can dance until we die (The Warblers: Until we die)
You and I, (we'll be young forever!)
You make me (feel like I'm livin' a) teenage dream
(The way you turn me on)
I can't sleep (Let's run away and,)
Don't ever look back, don't ever look back
Blaine with The Warblers harmonizing:
I'm a get your heart racing,
In my skin-tight jeans,
Be your teenage dream tonight
The Warblers:
Uh, oh, woah
Uhhhhhhh...
Blaine with The Warblers (The Warblers):
(Blaine: Yeah! Make me!)
(You make me) feel like I'm livin' a teenage dream
The way you turn me on
I can't sleep
Let's run away and,
Don't ever look back (Don't ever look)
Don't ever look back (Don't ever look)
Blaine with The Warblers (The Warblers):
(My heart stops) (Blaine: Yeah! When you look at me)
Just one touch
Now baby I believe
This is real
(So take a chance and) (Blaine: Oh, whoa!)
Don't ever look back (Don't ever look)
Don't ever look back (Don't ever look)
Blaine with The Warblers harmonizing:
I'm a get your heart racing
In my skin-tight jeans
Be your teenage dream tonight
Let you put your hands on me
In my skin-tight jeans
Be your teenage dream tonight
There is a huge cheer-fest from all the Dalton students, including Kurt and Rory, who were especially amazed by this performance, even if it is from a rival Glee Club.
McKinley Hallways
Sam walks down the halls with Quinn following him, still confused about what was going on.
"Just be honest with me. I won't get mad at you if you tell me the truth, I'll be relieved." Quinn insists.
"Really. Because it looks like you're gonna be mad no matter what I say." Sam responds, anxious.
"You said another woman's name while you were kissing me. Look. I get it. She's in a position of power over you, which can be exciting, and you clearly like women who give you a hard time." Quinn accuses.
"I'm not cheating on you with my football coach! Look. Can we talk about this in private?" Sam pleads.
"Why, am I embarrassing you?" Quinn retorts.
"What I think is that I'm not putting out for you, so you're getting wherever you can, including the locker room with the Beiste." Quinn adds, frustrated.
"What's this?" Beiste interrupts, hearing their chat.
"This is a lover's quarrel and it's your fault!" Quinn declares.
"Watch your tone with me, missy. You crap on my leg, I'll cut it off!" Beiste warns.
"I'll leave you two." Quinn says, stepping away.
"Everything okay?" Mr. Schue asks, noticing the tension.
"I-" Beiste starts but is interrupted.
"Stay away from my woman." Mike asserts.
"What the hell's going on around here?" Beiste demands.
"What's going on, Sam?" Mr. Schue asks, wanting answers. Sam looked at him, embarrassed.
Choir Room
Sam and Mike were then brought to the Choir Room to explain to Mr Schue what was going on between them and Beiste.
"How many of the guys have done this?" Mr. Schue questions, concerned.
"All the guys whose girlfriends won't put out." Sam admits.
"The girls too." Mike chimes in.
"This is really bad, guys. What if Coach Beiste were to find out about it? Think about how hurt she'd be." Mr. Schue warns.
"It's not personal." Sam defends.
"Of course it's personal! Look, Coach Beiste is like us. Like glee club, she's an outsider at this school. No one appreciates her or her talent because they've decided she's too different. And for you guys to abuse that, even in private, is the opposite of everything we're trying to achieve in here." Mr. Schue explains passionately.
"But we're just thinking about it, it's not like we're actually, you know, making fun of her to her face." Sam argues.
"I need you to stop. And spread the word to all the other glee guys. And girls! This ends here and now. And Coach Beiste can never know about this." Mr. Schue commands.
"Okay." Sam agrees.
"Alright." Mike nods.
Later, Blaine brought Kurt and Rory to the Dalton Caffe, along with two other members of the Warblers. Rory was starting to think that they were discovered, and was admittedly worried.
"Latte?" Blaine offers.
"Thank you." Kurt replies, accepting it.
"This is Wes and David." Blaine introduces his friends.
"It's very civilized of you to invite me for coffee before you beat us up for spying." Kurt jokes.
"Wait, they're beating us up? But they put little marshmallows in mine." Rory said.
"We are not going to beat you up." David assures him. Rory sighs in relief.
"You were such terrible spies, we thought it was sort of endearing." Wes adds with a smirk.
"Which made me think that spying on us wasn't really the reason you came." Blaine observes.
"Can I ask you guys a question? Are you guys all gay?" Kurt inquires, curious.
They all chuckle. "Uh, uh, no. I mean, I am, but no, these two have girlfriends." Blaine clarifies.
"This is not a gay school. We just have a zero tolerance harassment policy." David states.
"Everybody gets treated the same. No matter what they are. It's pretty simple." Wes explains.
Rory smiles. "That's good to hear. I wish they had that in our school. If I had a nickel for every time I needed it..." Rory stops there, not needing to tell them, since it's pretty obvious at this point.
"Would you guys excuse us?" Blaine asks the others.
"Take it easy, you two." Wes says as he leaves.
"I take it you're having trouble at school." Blaine remarks.
"I'm the only person out of the closet at my school. And Rory is a foreign exchange student, at a school where no one likes accents unless they're British. And I tried to stay strong about it, but there's this Neanderthal who's made it his mission to make my life a living hell. And nobody seems to notice." Kurt confesses. Rory looks down, saddened.
"I know how you feel. I got taunted at my old school, and it really pissed me off. I even complained about it to the faculty. And they were sympathetic and all, but you could just tell that nobody really cared. It was like, hey, if you're gay, your life's just gonna be miserable. Sorry. Nothing we can do about it. So I left. I came here. Simple as that. So you have two options. I mean, I'd love to tell you to just come enroll here, but tuition at Dalton's sort of steep, and I know that's not an option for everybody. Or you can refuse to be the victim. Prejudice is just ignorance, Kurt. And you have a chance right now to teach him." Blaine advises.
"How?" Kurt asks, eager for guidance.
"Confront him. Call him out. I ran, Kurt. I didn't stand up. I let bullies chase me away. And it is something that I really, really regret." Blaine shares earnestly.
Rory smiles. "Thanks mate. You really helped today." Rory complimented
"Your welcome. And Rory, try to speak up for yourself more. If you really want something, just say what you need to say, and who knows, maybe it'll happen. For Karofsky and... who knows what else." Rory thinks hard on Blaine's words. Maybe he could use this advice for Mercedes too.

"Ladies, very, very impressive! What made you guys choose those songs?" Mr. Schue asks.
"Well—" Rachel starts.
"Coach said to give you this," Becky interrupts giving Mr. Schue a sticky note and for some reason, he leaves the room.
Kurt looked at the text he got from Blaine, and thought about it more. Maybe he's right. Maybe he should stand up for himself. When the moment is right at least.
Kurt's mind was interrupted when his phone is smacked away and he is shoved into a locker. Kurt realizes that the moment is now. Now is the time for him to educate this man. "Hey!" Kurt calls out as he ran to follow Karofsky. He finds him in the locker room getting to his locker.
"I am talking to you!" Kurt shouts.
"Girls locker room's next door," Karofsky responds as he grabs his clothes.
"What is your problem?" Kurt asks as he stands in front of him.
"Excuse me?" Karofsky replies.
"What are you so scared of?" Kurt presses on.
"'Sides you sneaking in here to peek at my junk?" Karofsky retorts.
"Oh yeah, every straight guy's nightmare, that all us gays are secretly out to molest and convert you. Well guess what, Hammerhawk? You're not my type," Kurt responds defiantly.
"That right?" Karofsky questions.
"Yeah. I don't like chubby boys who sweat too much and are gonna be bald by the time they're thirty," Kurt says.
"Do not push me, Hummel," Karofsky warns.
"You gonna hit me? Do it," Kurt challenges.
"Don't push me!" Karofsky shouts.
"Hit me, 'cause it's not gonna change who I am. You can't punch the gay out of me any more than I can push the ignoramus out of you," Kurt replies.
"Get out of my face!" Karofsky demands.
"You are nothing but a scared little boy who can't handle how extraordinarily ordinary you are!" Kurt declares. But after that, he is grabbed by the face. Kurt thinks that he's gonna be knocked into the locker, but instead, is pulled into a passionate kiss against his will.
Rory walks into the room and sees this in shock. Did Karofsky actually like Kurt? Was he gay this entire time.
Karofsky pulls back with a softened face. Karofsky attempts to go at it again, but is stopped when Rory pushes him away and steps back along with Kurt.
Tears start going down Karofsky's face as he slams his locker door and walks away angrily sniffing.
"Well. I genuinely hope you guys are happy. Because Coach Beiste has quit," Mr. Schue states, surprising them all.
"Wait, what? That's terrible," Finn responds.
"Yeah, it's not what we want," Sam adds.
"That's the opposite of what we want, the football team is actually winning," Artie points out.
"Well then you'd better put your heads together and find a way to get her back, fast. Because I am actually ashamed of you. You really hurt someone who was a great addition to this school," Mr. Schue warns.
Rory raises his hand. "Sir, What did we do?" Rachel nods in agreement.
"No, it's us. The boys," Finn admits.
"And Tina," Mike adds.
"We sort of… figured out that picturing Beiste while making out was even better than a cold shower." Rachel and Rory stare at him baffled. Finn turns to Rachel cautiously. "I mean I don't, ever," Finn confesses.
"Oh, wow. I'm sorry," Quinn says.
"Can I just say that is what happens when people don't put out. If everyone just put out, we would have a winning football team," Santana remarks. Rory grins.
"William! I need to see you and Noah Puckerman in my office please," Figgins calls after showing unexpectedly.
Back of the Campus
Rory advised Kurt to call Blaine and tell him about what happened, which he did, and the three went to confront Karofsky and maybe provide a little bit of emotional support.
"Thanks again for coming," Kurt mutters.
"Don't worry about it, just let me do the talking," Blaine reassures him.
"You wouldn't happen to be a blackbelt would you? Karofsky scares me." Rory said. Blaine gives him a sympathetic pat on the back.
"There he is," Kurt says, spotting Karofsky.
"I got your back. Excuse me," Blaine says as he approaches Karofsky.
"Hey, ladyboys. This your boyfriend, Kurt?" Karofsky taunts.
"Kurt and I would like to talk to you about something," Blaine states.
"I gotta go to class," Karofsky replies dismissively.
"Kurt and Rory told me what you did," Blaine says.
"Oh, yeah? What's that?" Karofsky challenges.
"You kissed him," Rory asserts.
"I don't know what you're talking about," Karofsky denies.
"It seems like you might be a little confused. And that's totally normal. This is a very hard thing to come to terms with, and you should just know that you're not alone," Blaine explains.
"Do not mess with me!" Karofsky warns as he pushes Blaine to the fence, while he raises his hands..
"You have to stop this!" Kurt urges. Karofsky just walks away upset.
"Well, he's not coming out any time soon." Kurt sits down as Blaine remarks. "What's going on? Why are you so upset?" Blaine asks Kurt as he and Rory sit on his sides..
"Because until yesterday, I had never been kissed. Or at least, one that counted," Kurt confesses.
Rory furrows his eyes at the counted thing, but shakes it off and gives Kurt a grin. "I'm sorry it got robbed by you. But trust me, you deserve to find love, and he will be perfect for you." Rory said, trying to comfort his host-brother, who grins back at him.
"Thanks Rors." Kurt replies
"Come on. I'll buy you lunch," Blaine offers.
Sam runs across the halls, looking for his Irish companion. He was really looking to find him to discuss something with him. He then finds Rory walking with Blaine and Kurt. He speed walks to them and speaks. "Hey, Rory, can I talk to you for a sec?" He asks in earnest.
Rory looks to his friends for a second who nod before turning to Sam as they tell him they'll chat later. "What's going on Sam?"
"I really messed up with Coach Beiste." Sam points out.
"Yeah, I noticed with the whole cool-off thing people are talking about." Rory replied.
"I want to make it up to her. So I was hoping you and the boys would help me out?" Sam pleaded.
Rory grinned. "Of course mate. What do you have in mind." They handshake for a second.
Timeskip Classroom
Sam stands near the board with the same stick that Kurt was using, pointing at some blue jacket suits that he put pictures of on the wall. "I call it, Operation Make-It-Up-To-Beiste-For-Hurting-Her-Feelings-And-Getting-Her-To-Stay-In-The-Football-Team." Sam explains as he retracts his stick.
"Can we also do Operation Make-Better-Operation-Names?" Puck asks.
"No time. Now this is gonna take all of us. We need to use our mash-up to apologize to Coach Beiste. And with this research that me and Rory did in the past hour of skipping class, we have the perfect mash-up for this." Sam and Rory then hand out sheet music to their teammates.
"Hold up. Why do we all have to do this? You're the one who made this" Artie asks.
"Because the only way this'll work is if we all work together. Me going up to her and apologizing isn't gonna make up for it. And I think that this song is the start. Do you all want to win in football or not?" Sam said, making them all see the urgency a littler bit more.
Kurt steps up. "Okay, I don't care about football, but I do care about making people feel more welcome. And while there are no Diana Ross Songs in this line-up, I can still appreciate it."
Finn nods. "Kurt's right. We gotta do this."
Mike nods as well. "We're in. Walk us through it Sam." They all go towards Sam who helps them learn the song, and with the help of Mike, he can choreograph it.
Choir Room
Mr. Schue brings Coach Beiste to the Choir Room to hear the boys song. They brought the costumes that Sam came up with. "I don't get it, it's boys against the girls, but what's the winner get?" Beiste asks.
"Well, we were hoping for your forgiveness," Finn replies.
"We just want to apologize for hurting your feelings," Sam adds.
"Coach Beiste, we think you're awesome. And even though you're all hard and tough on the outside, it doesn't mean you're not the opposite on the inside."
"Like a chocolate turtle." Sam added.
Finn nodded. "Totally. You're nougatty. We totally get that now."
"You are a complex human being, and that is what makes you amazing. You're like a mash-up." Rory compliments.
"Why don't you guys just get to the song." Mr. Schue reminds them to get to the point.
"Totally. This mash-up is dedicated to you, Coach. Hard and badass on one hand, and soft and girly on the other hand." Artie tells her.
"We hope it makes you smile, 'cause when you smile you're pretty and it lights up the room. Seriously." Puck genuinely complements.
The band then starts beginning the boys mash-up of Stop! In the Name of Love and Free Your Mind.
Finn and Puck with New Directions Boys:

Be color blind, don't be so shallow
Sam:
I've known of your, your secluded nights
I've even seen her maybe once or twice
But is her sweet expression
Worth more than my love and affection?

Stop!
Finn with New Directions Boys:

Before you break my heart (Artie: Don't break my heart) (New Directions Boys: Free your mind)
Stop! In the name of love, (Artie: Stop! Stop!) before you break my heart
Think it over (Artie: Oh think it over)
Puck and Finn with New Directions Boys:
And the rest will stop!
Rory didn't get to sing, but loved it all the same. He high-fived Sam. "Nice work Sam."
Coach Beiste stood up in silence for a moment before grinning. "That was really good. I liked it. Thank you." Beiste said
"Come over here! Come on!" Artie encourages, as he hugs her and the rest of the boys join in.
