History is full of famous feuds, I'm pretty sure the booming tabloid market can prove that - btw, Lohan vs. The Bieber is heating up, in case anyone was wondering. This week, feuds take center stage, and it's about to get real. Blaine, Artie, and Tina call Will and Finn to meet over their feuding ways and declare it 'Feuds' week and challenges their fearless leaders to find a famous musical feud and take their issues to the stage. Rachel finds out she's not pregnant, but Santana stops her blissful 'it's all over' moment by reminding her that she can't just brush this aside, while Brody seduces a woman with a little Marina and The Diamonds 'How to be a Heartbreaker' while Rachel agonize over what to do. Feuds boil over between Blaine and Sue about his lack of keeping up with the Cheerios, also Ryder gets a dash of drama from Unique for how he treated Marley and ruined her relationship with Jake. Will and Finn meet to discuss the assignment, but Will pulls out the big guns and dishes some harsh honesty, leaving Finn to man up and accept the challenge.
