Last week was full of rises and falls among the world of the GLEE club, and while some were more tragic than others, like a certain mega musical once said: Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise.

Just when things with The New Directions are looking up, the GLEE club is shocked to find their major rival Dalton Academy has lost their school in a fire leaving the Warblers without a school and a GLEE club. Will decides to help the Warblers out by bringing them on board to join the New Directions. Not everyone is on board with the Warblers joining the fold, including Sue, who makes it her mission to pluck every Warbler from the halls of McKinley. However, things take a turn as Sue is fired by the superintendent, who is clued into Sue's terrible ways via her Hurt Locker by an enraged Becky who can't stand by Sue as she attempts to hurt the Warblers when they're down.

Now fired from McKinley, Sue becomes the subject of a Fox News special hosted by Geraldo Rivera, which she thinks will boost her image, only to be attacked from all sides with her all terrible ways and lies exposed. Meanwhile, The Warblers and New Directions struggle to come together with the Warblers not wanting to leave behind their signature look of blazers and the New Directions not exactly keen to the Warbler style or attitude. Will, Rachel, Blaine, and Kurt begin to toil over how to bring the two GLEE clubs together, while Sue receives a visit from her mother, someone who turned on her in the Geraldo interview. The two have a heart to heart and share a little "Trolley Song" and things seem to be fine between the two Sylvester women.

Blaine comes up with a compromise for the look of the GLEE club, getting red and white blazers made that brings together the worlds of Dalton and McKinley. While the GLEE club celebrates, it's short lived when news come to light that Sue has taken Will's old position at Carmel running Vocal Adrenaline. Sue puts Vocal Adrenaline through their paces, and comes out on top with Clint and the rest of Vocal Adrenaline. Things are heating up as we head into Sectionals, and we all know competition can bring out the best and worst in people. Sectionals - here we come!


9:00pm: Will is still a terrible at choreography while the Warblers and the New Directions continue to battle it out and there is some serious real talk and shade thrown as it becomes clear that Spencer and Roderick can't keep up with the dance moves. The two decide to pair up and have Kitty help them, while Sam and Rachel fight about her life path.

9:06pm: Jesse St James only appears in song, apparently as he joins in on "Listen To Your Heart". Jesse is the lead in the new musical Rachel is set to join, and gives her some thought about her path. Jesse in his usual way gives Rachel some serious thought, and Rachel continues to push the issue.

9:10pm: The dance rehearsal for Spencer and Roderick takes a stop as Spencer sprains his ankle, and despite the injury refuses to back down from performing despite the pressure from Will and company.

9:14pm: Kurt and Rachel have a heart to heart and Kurt gives her a lot of thought on how they have accomplished with the glee club and doesn't pressure her as Kurt looks forward to going back to NYADA with Blaine going to NYU.

9:15pm: Sue glitter bombs the glee club and puts eye drops in the water supply, but not before setting Will's car on fire. Will counters when he shaves off Sue's hair, this only fuels Sue's hatred as she is confronted by Sheldon, who throws her and Vocal Adrenaline out of his locker room.

9:21pm: Sectionals kicks off as the usual weird first group performs as Sue continues to threaten Will and the glee club.

9:26pm: Clint and Vocal Adrenaline perform "We Built This City" and "Mickey" which leaves the New Directions nervous with their killer moves hard to top.

9:29pm: The show circle forms as Rachel captains the pep talk as the Warblers and Vocal Adrenaline gear up to hit the stage. Roderick stops Spencer from getting the cortizone shot he needs to perform on his ankle with an idea.

9:30pm: Roderick kicks off the performance with "Take Me To Church" and sings the heck out of it as per usual. Madison moves things along with the glee club girls taking on Sia's "Chandelier" with Myron dressed like Sia and Spencer swinging from the chandelier. The group wraps up with "Come Sail Away" and own the stage.

9:44pm: The judges discuss the groups and things get as usual very weird. It's time to announce the winners and the New Directions win it! Vocal Adrenaline is left in the glittery confetti dust.

9:51pm: Sue claims she has been helping Will win, and goes on to explain the lengths she went to ruin Vocal Adrenaline from the inside among other plots through out the week. Sue is taken aback by Will not saying thank you and prepares for a new battle.

9:56pm: Jesse and Rachel get nostalgic as Rachel tells Jesse she turned down the role on Broadway to go back to NYADA. The St. Berry flirtation boils over into a kiss, and the sparks begin to fly again. The glee club revels in their win as they place past trophies in the case, and past wins are recalled. Sue watches from a far, hiding an obvious smile.

I can't even begin to try and tell you what I have to say about next week - the end of an era, and so much more. Next week, we will take it from the top one last time.

Until then, Gleeks. <3
