Glee Episode Review

In which there is a thong song.

What Happened

Ken gets jealous of Will and Emma and responds by demanding that his football players attend a mandatory practice that conflicts with Glee club.

Even the hockey players are picking on Quinn and Finn. They go to Emma for help being cool, but she doesn't have a pamphlet on that. Finn is pressured into rejoining the jocks, even into sending a "slushie facial" in Kurt's direction.

Puck's mother has been asking why he never brings home any nice Jewish girls, so he asks Rachel out. Thinking of Finn, she says that she could never date someone who isn't a soloist. One rendition of Sweet Caroline later and Puck is in Rachel's good graces. Quinn's also swept away, but Finn's a bit sour and Santana's bitchface must be seen to be believed.

When Will confronts him, Ken admits that he knows Emma is settling. And I love her so much I don't care, he says. Will sputters a bit, but admits that he hasn't discouraged Emma as he should.

Puck and Rachel break up as she admits she is hung up on Finn and suggests that he has a crush on Quinn. Fed up, Finn calls Ken on using him as a weapon against Will and gets Ken to back down. He brings slushies to the Glee club as a welcome back present, which is when Will makes the mistake of noting that he's never had a "slushie facial..."

What I Liked

• Bust a Move. Seeing Will have so much fun.
• I love how all the Glee kids start wearing raincoats to school to deal with the slushies.
• Puck and Rachel. Liked their honesty. ("Wanne make out?" and "Because you're a jerk.") Also gave them some new notes to play with new people.
• Poor Sue. Kinda felt for her there. Of course, then she turned around and took it out on Quinn.

What I Covet

• Emma's (second) wedding dress. So pretty.

What We Learned

• You need to at least be in the same room when the marriage is certified.
• The slushie war has commenced.
• The fight was epic. The priest cried.
• Puck's arms are lovely.
• Intimacy has no place in a marriage.
• It's not the burning in your eyes or the way the slushie drips all the way into your underpants.
• Probably would have gone over better if Kurt hadn't announced his resignation in the showers.
• One decision doesn't make your life, unless you somehow invent some zombie virus or something.

Best Lines

Puck: "Why don't girls like me?"
Rachel: "Because you're kind of a jerk."

Sue: "I will go to an animal shelter and get you a kitty cat. I will let you fall in love with that kitty cat. And one dark night, I will steal into your house and punch you in the face."

What Did I Think?

We get to see Emma sing! And Sue dance!
