Sue (Jane Lynch) and Will (Matthew Morrison)'s time together as co-coaches of the Glee club was the battle we expected. Sue was delightfully manipulative, as always, choosing the minority kids to do a separate number. We even got another Sue Says (YAY). And while Mercedes (Amber Riley) rocked the house, Rachel (Lea Michele) and Finn (Cory Monteith) shared another romantic solo as Quinn (Dianna Agron) looked on. I have to remind myself that her child is actually Puck's and that Finn and Rachel are trying not to give in to their mutual desire, otherwise I'd feel really bad for her.
Will, to revenge himself on Sue, began failing her Cheerios, who weren't actually passing Spanish. It was nice to see him grow a spine and to see someone stand up to Sue. It was also a lovely contrast to his tears at the sight of the ultrasound of his baby girl - that's right, Terri (Jessalyn Gilsig) found a way to convince the OB to make her seem pregnant, even though she's not.
Finally, Will and Sue have a major blowout and the entire Glee club walks out on them. They want to have fun and they want to hang out together. Then, the episode ended with tragedy as the news of Quinn's pregnancy hit student blogs on Sue's order. Up until this point, I have loved her every evil choice, but this one was just a bit too much. Poor Quinn - her parents will kill her...and poor Terri, how will she secretly take that child now?
The music was definitely the best part of this episode, not because the plot wasn't entertaining, but because the songs were so good. Quinn's solo of You Keep Me Hanging On, which will always remind me of a music video with Goofy at the beach from the Disney Channel, suddenly had real meaning for me. She is giving love, but she's losing her grip. Tell Me How I'm Supposed to Breath with No Air and Keep Holding On were also show stoppers, but the highlight was Nelly's Ride With Me, which was the first song sung by our glee club without the full musical backup. You could actually hear them sing, and know it was them, in a casual context. It was amazing. Let's have more of that!
