According to the Huffington Post, Gwyneth Paltrow will return to GLEE for two episodes, playing a sex-education teacher who dates Mr. Schuester.

"Gwyneth is coming back for two episodes. She's coming back specifically to date Will [Matthew Morrison]. Those two have become really good friends in real life and had really good chemistry, series co-creator Ryan Murphy told EW.

Paltrow was featured on the show earlier this season, playing substitute teacher Holly Holliday in a November episode. In the episode, she sand a modified version of Cee Lo Green's hit 'F**k You.' Paltrow will reprise that singalong with Green on Saturday Night Live later this month.
