Grade: A-
This wasn’t a bad episode at all, but I didn’t find myself with much of anything substantial to say about it, other than this:
The fake pregnancy storyline gets more ridiculous with each episode, and I’m still wondering how they’re going to resolve it in a satisfactory way. Will crying at the fake ultrasound was appalling, and it felt like the nail in the Will/Terry coffin. To see him so joyful over something completely false… is there any coming back from that, even if they really love each other? Can Finn and Quinn last through the reveal of similar circumstances? I’m guessing not. (And if they’re going to insist on this bizarre two-pronged pregnancy storyline, I’d at least like to see more of how Puck feels about it Quinn’s pregnancy, considering that it’s his baby and he knows it.)
Miscellaneous Stuff
-The funniest moment (to me, anyway) between Will and Sue was when she told him not touch her, and he poked her arm and ran away. Hee!
-Brittany trying to steal Quinn’s test was my second biggest laugh. She doesn’t get many lines, but I find Brit weirdly charming.
-I think Mercedes has had those bangs for an episode or two already, but wow, her hair looked really cute in this episode.
-All the viewers bitching about the over-produced Auto-Tune numbers had to be thrilled with the actual on-set live number. I wonder whose idea that was?
-There was a very nice, easy-to-miss moment where the football bullies, including Puck, carry Artie out of the auditorium after Will and Sue’s argument. They’ve come a long way from locking him in a port-a-potty.
-Mark Salling is a beast. In the closing number, Puck actually picks Mercedes up and spins around with her in his arms, and I bet he’s the only one of those guys who could. I don’t intend to insult Amber Riley, because a) I’m a big girl myself, and b) I love the cultural and physical diversity on the show, just sayin' damn, that’s one strong fella.
Quotes
Sue: “Oh Will, we all know about your devotion to that dying language—”
Will: “Dying language?!”
Sue: “Let me break this down for you, okay? I empower my cheerios to be champions. Do they go on to college? I don’t know. I don’t care. Should they learn Spanish? Sure, if they want to become dishwashers and gardeners, but if they want to become bankers and lawyers and captains of industry, the most important lesson they could possibly learn is how to do a round off.”
