The great slushy war has begun!
Apparently, Finn and Quinn have dropped down to the bottom of the high school 'food chain' when news of their baby went public.
Emma and Ken decided they need to have their first dance, but the problem is, Emma wants My Fair Lady's "I Could Have Danced All Night" but Ken wants "The Thong Song". Yeah. So they approach will and ask him if he'd be able to work on some sort of mash-up for the two... and for dance lessons. So later, Emma shows up in Will's classroom after school for her first lesson, and they dance, but then he trips and pulls her down on top of him. It's awkward. And Ken sees.
In another story arch, Quinn and Finn visit Emma for advice on how to be cool. She says 'sunglasses' but then quickly changes her answer to something along the lines of 'the most important part is being yourselves'. In the next scene, Finn and Quinn don sunglasses and they think it's working for them, until the entire football team surrounds them and bombards them with slushies.
Apparently Noah is hot for Rachel. He had a dream that he was with her, and so they hooked up once. "Rachel was a hot Jew, and the Good Lord wanted me to get into her pants." The next day, he sings a song for Rachel - "Sweet Caroline", and it was great - but Quinn seems to think it's for her. Heh. Eventually, they start dating. It's pretty weird, really. But because of this, someone slushies him, and Rachel is stuck cleaning him up. He shows her a sensitive side that the audience didn't really know existed.
Finn's getting hate from all sides. A fight breaks out on the football field when other players openly question his leadership ability, and his masculinity. Because of what Glee Club seems to be doing to the team, Ken adds a mandatory practise at the same time as Glee rehearsal, and the boys who do both will have to make a choice. Will goes to talk to Ken about the practises, but Ken says he's sick of being 'settled for'. Ken knows that Emma is only settling for him, but he loves her enough that he doesn't care. But when it comes to football, he says they'll just have to see who's being settled for.
Noah tells Rachel he's going to choose football practise over Glee "I feel like such a bad Jew." When it came to that dreaded rehearsal, the two football players that aren't Noah and Finn showed up. And then Noah did too! But Finn never showed up, so everyone was sort of mad at him. Oh, the things
Will goes to talk to him, and he tells him that he's making the wrong choice, and he plays the 'you remind me of how I used to be' card. Good play. It worked. So Finn goes to Ken and after a little persuading, Ken cancels the mandatory practises so they four can do both.
Another dance rehearsal takes place in a bridal shop. Emma needs to make sure she can dance in her dress, so Will pops in the Karaoke version of "I Could Have Danced All Night" and tells her to sing along. Do you know how excited I got when he said that?!
A cool thing in this episode is that Sue gets a storyline, and it's really something. A man at the news station asked her out on a date, and she thinks she's in love. She even gets Will to teach her to swing dance to impress him. But just days later, she catches him making out with another woman. The jerk says, "You didn't think that we were... exclusive... did you?" So now happy-Sue is back to mean-Sue. She yells at Quinn, calling her a disgrace and forcing her off the squad. So no, that part wasn't cool.
Will goes to talk to Emma: he can't get the songs to go together, no matter how he tries. She knows. It's symbolic, obviously.
And Finn comes back! Of course. He buys everyone slushies. Quinn's in normal clothes. Wow. She says she'll have to start every day with a slushie facial, and Will says that's okay because she's got eleven friends to wash it off for her. Then they all slushie Mr. Shu.
So some other stuff!
- I feel so bad for Emma! *cry* And for Ken, too, but to a certain extent, he's getting... a little bit of what he wanted...
- Will performs "Bust A Move", and wow, can he dance!! That was really impressive. I didn't like when he made Kurt stand up and he started singing to him about some girl, but I did like how Kurt rolled his eyes and mouthed 'Oh my God' and walked away. Good for you.
- BUT! I'm pretty sick of Will singing these pop songs. They're offensive songs, and I get that it's funny for plot, but... ugh.
- GLEE WORK ON YORU LIP SYNC ITS NOT BELIEVABLE
- By the way, Sue thinks you should marry your dog.
- JAYMA MAYS HAS AN INCREDIBLE VOICE ♥♥♥ I figured she wouldn't, since she's portraying a non-Glee Club role, but... wow. :D
- Will, stop falling in love with Emma. It will make everything awkward.
- Oh the things we do for masculinity. Sigh.
- Oh the seven-11 product placement.
- KURT! He took one [a slushie] for the team. It's a good thing he's in love with Finn.
Overall, a very good show, but they need to play down the heteronormativity and the offensive pop songs, as usual.
