Guys, you know I've been thinking - you know what Glee needs more of? Continuity, Klaine, and Katy Perry are all great things to say, but you know what Glee REALLY needs more of? TWERKING! Come on, just what we all want to see is our Gleeks twerk the night away. ..I know, I know - I'm a genius. Well, apparently Ryan Murphy and crew have heard my genius idea, and are giving us what we ALL want to see. Tonight, it's a twerking good time, Gleeks - and you ain't even ready.

Twerking has taken control of the McKinley hallways, and New Directions is getting themselves set up to twerk the competition away with some twerking tutorials for those who lack the twerking ability. Rachel makes a change and cuts her hair, which does not sit well with her director, but despite the hair cut, Rachel kills it in the rehearsal room with her co-star singing "You Are Woman, I Am Man". After the number, the director is knocked out by how the hair cut enhances Rachel's performance. Score one for Ms. Berry! A bathroom revolution breaks out at McKinley thanks to Unique, while Rachel reveals her new do is a wig, and challenges Kurt to break out of his mundane routine and live a little. Who knew La Berry was such a rebel rouser? Kurt gives into Rachel's probing and they decide to break out the alcohol and let loose. Oh boy, another Berry Trainwreck Extravaganza?

Sue takes on twerking in her Sue's Corner and plans to battle twerking and put it to an end all through out Ohio, which does not sit well with the New Directions at all. Deciding that Sue is trying to blur the lines of decency, the New Directions (led by Mr. Schue) take to the hallways with "Blurred Lines". Sue calls Mr. Schue into the office to challenge him about his performance of Blurred Lines, and decides to give Schue the pink slip, but Schue isn't going to take it lying down. Rachel and Kurt head to a tattoo parlor, get a little buzzed, and seemed destined to make poor life choices. Oh Hummelberry, what have you done?

Kurt wakes up hung over and shows off his It Gets Better tattoo, but there's a misspelling - It's Get Better. Rachel reveals she didn't go through with getting a tattoo, and Kurt is furious. Unique goes to the boy's bathroom and runs into a group of jocks who make her feel less like a woman, and not at all welcome. Taking to the choir room, Unique sings "If I Were a Boy" and lets all of those hurt feelings come to the fore front. The boys of New Directions go on the defensive for Unique, but she assures them that doing anything will do more harm than good. Mr. Schue showcases his case to the school board on twerking by showing off dances that in the past were considered controversial, but now are basically done at every wedding ever now, and claims that soon twerking will fall in line behind them. Whatever you say, Schuester, whatever you say.

Unique's plea for a unisex bathroom is granted, but in the worst way - when Principal Sue places the new bathroom right in the middle of the choir room. When Kurt goes to the tattoo parlor, the tattoo artist shares some tales and gives Kurt the chance to fix it and still be the rebel he wants. Bree lets it slip that she and Jake did a little twerk-twerk behind Marley's back, leaving Bree beaming with pride and Marley falling apart. After the confrontation with Bree, Marley confronts Jake about cheating on her with Bree, and is heartbroken to hear that Jake cheated, and what does a woman scorned now do? Well, wreck it like Ms. Miley with a little "Wrecking Ball", of course. Marley throws her rage into the Miley Cyrus chart topper - wrecking ball and all. She's Dixie Chick serious, acabitches. Oops, wrong glee club thing.

When Unique needs to use the bathroom, Mr. Schue takes Unique for a walk and talk, giving her food for thought about how she needs to find the place she belongs rather than seek the places she doesn't. After letting Unique use the faculty bathroom, Sue spies and offers Schue a deal - stop the twerk and Unique gets her own key to the faculty bathroom. But, Schue isn't backing down, and leaves Sue's office giving Sue a taste of her own temper tantrum. #EpicWin.

Kurt returns and shocks Rachel when he reveals he's gotten a tongue piercing and changed his tattoo to It Gets Bette Midler, and they reveal they've both been sort of out to shock themselves out of being numb since Finn's passing. Once alone, Rachel shows off her tiny tribute to the man she lost, Finn's name tattooed on her hip. Mr. Schue gives into Sue about twerking, but it's a small price to pay for togetherness and unity. The New Direction takes it back to old school with "On Our Way" - no twerk, just song and unity. Of course, not everyone is in sync with it as Marley seems off, and Schue begins to pick up on it, but the song and joy overcomes in the end.

That puts an end to the twerking, thank the Glee! Next week - it's Billy Joel and a look to the future for the graduating seniors. We're movin out, until next week, Gleeks.
