Writer: Ryan Murphy
Grade: B+
This episode had some great scenes and one-liners, but that didn’t really keep it from being a hot mess (one written by the showrunner, no less).
First of all, the timeline here is utterly wacky. Will’s voiceover that he and Terri’s started “doin’ it once a week” and the comment that Will missed 6 rehearsals in two weeks both suggest that this single episode covers two to three weeks of time, which is a bit much considering this show is designed for a 22-episode season.
Secondly, why did Terri become suspicious of Emma’s attraction to Will at the Acafellas performance? She could only see the back of Emma’s head, and Emma’s boyfriend was up on that stage, too. What made Terri think she was looking at Will and not Ken? If there was a past history between these three going back to high school, that might make sense, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. I guess Terri just thinks her hubby is hot stuff, so why wouldn’t Emma be looking at him and not potato-nosed Ken? Nothing about Terri ever makes sense.
And Will was a selfish douche in this episode, abandoning Glee because Rachel pointed out that his choreography sucks. What an irresponsible little pussy!
On the plus side, the musical numbers were great. “Poison” and “I Wanna Sex You Up” were embarrassing in a delightfully awesome way. I also loved Mercedes’ number, seeing the big girl as the center of attention in front of all the scrawny, tarted-up cheerleaders.
Miscellaneous Stuff
-I know nothing about Josh Groban, but he was quite charming!
-Nice to see a glimmer of hope for Quinn at the end there.
