So, in case you've been living under a rock or not reading my recaps (how dare!), here's what you've been missing on Glee! Most of the original GLEE club has somehow found their way back to Ohio to help relaunch their favorite club and basically anger Principal Sue Slyvester to no end. Rachel, suffering from that harsh burn of TV cancellation (RIP That's So Rachel #gonetoosoon) has teamed up with Kurt, who is using getting GLEE club back up and running as part of his NYADA credits, to get the GLEE club back up and grooving.

Of course, nothing is that easy with Principal Sue breathing down their necks and competition from The Warblers, led by Kurt's now ex-fiancée Blaine and Vocal Adrenaline, led by the captain of the original New Directions (and the Titanic) Will. On top of all the GLEE club on GLEE club competition, Kurt is out to win Blaine back, who is currently "dating" Dave Karofsky, while Brittany and Santana are newly engaged. Of course, this is Glee, so you better believe happy endings are a coming!

Musically, it's been a wide mix of top 40 with some throwbacks (Carole King!!!) and some of that beautiful Broadway sound. Before this GLEE train pulls into the station for the final time, get on board and get ready for this to be a season not to forget. And of course, I am here to guide you on your journey, so please keep all hands and feet inside the car at all times.

Let's take it from the top!

And that's a wrap on Hurt Locker Part I! Next week - Klaine continues to be pushed back together by Sue, Sue continues to push Rachel's buttons and cause all kinds of chaos while Invitationals press on! Bring it on, Gleeks! See you next week! WE OUT!

9:58pm: "Whip It"? Oh boy. They are throwing it SUPER way back. Also, shout out to Max George from THE WANTED leading Vocal Adrenaline this year. #boybandersdobadallbythemselves.

9:56pm: "Rock Lobster" is such a strange song choice, but Rachel looks REALLY pissed at how Will is not willing to throw this competition for her. Oh look, there's that creepy Sue Cam again - say hey, everyone!

9:54pm: Invitationals are here, and Schue is not taking ANY prisoners to take Rachel down. Oh boy, Vocal Adrenaline is not in love with Will as their coach.

9:51pm: Sam just spilled so many beans, but all of the wrong ones to get Rachel into SERIOUS trouble. Will is not going to take it easy on you now, Berry. It's SO on. Oh god, this is SO BRING IT ON right now. #itsalreadybeenbrought

9:49pm: Oh boy, this is one awkward date and #hotcupofwalter is super awkward and weird, also he's Aaron Echolls from VERONICA MARS. Run, Kurt, RUN!

9:47pm: Sam is being hypnotized again - This time it's Sam's mission to destory Rachel AND Will. This is not going to end very well, at all.

9:46pm: Oh boy, this is going to be REALLY awkward for Rachel because Sam was all hypnotized to kiss her and all. Oops, poor Rachel.

9:41pm: Glee club kids can't fall in love without a good song. God bless you, Vanessa Carlton. #samchelisborn.

9:39pm: Every white girl in the world is spazzing over "A Thousand Miles" being on right now. This was EVERYONE's jam at one point. Don't lie. Gotta love random pianos speeding through Ohio.

9:37pm: Double dose of Figgins in one episode? I'm so happy about this. This Klaine scene is just.. so sad. Just get back together already.

9:32pm: Sue is giving it to Schue and bringing up some old friends - remember Matt Rutherford? Sue does. Preach to Sue calling Schue on not knowing the band's names.

9:29pm: Rachel is not doing a very good job of convincing the newbies that invitationals are going to go well. Poor newbies, you poor sweet adorable newbies. Will is pissed at Sue, and well - Sue is Sue and out for revenge.

9:24pm: Caramel High's principal is Figgin's sister, and it's everything I didn't know I needed in my life. Sue video recording Schue saying he'd throw the invitational is going to be a HUGE problem. #watchoutschue

9:22pm: Sam is really doing a good job of being hypnotized to fall in love with Rachel. Also, Rachel Berry getting pissed off at a piano is completely usual of her. You can't have it your way all the time, Rachel!

9:20pm: Sue Slyvester is giving it to us with this cover of "Bitch" and it's just so perfect for her. Blaine and Dave are on a date at Breadstixs and apparently Dave has had a lot of ex-boyfriends, and all brought to you by Sue's plan to push Klaine back together. A woman after our own heart, am I right?

9:16pm: Sue is apparently not aware of what a bear is and Kurt is apparently in denial about wanting to get back together with Blaine. Sam and Rachel take piano lessons from Blaine, and Blaine is throwing sass and shade at Rachel.

9:10pm: Friendly competition is out and Blaine is looking for blood, which is apparently what that bear cub was looking for.

9:08pm: Did Sue really just hynpotize Sam to fall in love with Rachel? Is this really happening?

9:06pm: Hello invitational and awkward moments with your "friendly" competition. Also, welcome back to Schue. Did Rachel really ask Schue to throw the invitational? That's not friendly, at all.

9:05pm: Sue is the personification of the Klaine fandom right now. Back together, I say. Back together.

9:03pm: Sue's Hurt Locker is pretty insane and yet she ships Klaine? This is all too wonderful and yet crazy. She wants to be flower girl at their wedding?

9:01: Will and Sue are reunited and it's just like old times - Sue talking in her head and making fun of Will, and Will not realizing just how evil and crazy she is.
