Immediately, Cassie warns Rachel that the tough director will crush the inexperienced girl’s dreams. Brody promises to help her prepare for the call. Cassandra overhears the two discussing an audition Rachel has scored with a well-known director for an off-Broadway production of “The Glass Menagerie”. She’s invited a few upperclassmen to help her teach, which means HELLO BRODY who immediately partners up with Rachel. Do the writers of this show have so little imagination that we have to go back to Season2 Sue, except with Finn in place of Will?Ĭut to Cassandra July’s dance class. Sue instantly becomes her bad old self, leaving the office enraged– a path of destruction in her wake. Sue is frustrated when she learns that Glee is an extracurricular activity-therefore no teachers necessary! (Really? That’s not how it worked at my school.
Guess who else isn’t happy? Sue Sylvester calls Finn and Will to Figgins office. “He doesn’t know what he’s doing at all!” complains Tina. The kids are freaked out when they learn that not only will they have to navigate sectionals without their teacher, Finn Hudson will be taking over in the interim. The episode opens with Will telling the Glee club that he’s leaving for DC at the end of the week. Becca Lynn’s Kitty got her first solo this week, and her Broadway chops are evident. His portrayal of football player and mensch, Ryder Lynn is utterly charming. And those most practical and healthy of the couples, Tina and Mike are considering a long distance relationship after all.Ī couple of notes on the newbies: Blake Jenner was the best actor on The Glee Project, which is one of the reasons he won. Santana is still positive that she and Brittany need to be apart, but how relieved did she look when she learned that Brit is still single? Santana’s practicality could dissolve in a second. But Rachel still has a few lessons to learn. This week, Finn is closer than ever to finding himself. She won’t be ready either until she grows up and becomes a little harder and sure of herself.
And Rachel is on the difficult and lonely path to a career in theater. Until that happens, he can’t commit to Rachel or anybody else. Finn is in the midst of figuring himself out. What is it exactly that’s keeping them apart, other than the long distance? It’s a ton of confusion for both of them. The schism between Rachel and Finn seems murkier. The rest of the season, I hope, is about Kurt learning the lesson of forgiveness and acceptance–and Blaine learning to be less co-dependent on Kurt. Kurt still loves Blaine, but can no longer trust him now that he’s cheated. Kurt and Rachel come face to face with their exes, and as you can imagine, it doesn’t go well at all. It takes a lot of self-loathing to be so cruel. There’s nothing sadder than women hating on other women. Cassandra is clearly damaged goods and has lost all ability to feel empathy. Her total eff over of Rachel is even MORE painful, because the character isn’t written as a caricature the way Kitty is. Kitty’s East Coast mirror image is Cassandra July. The scenes where Kitty was literally toying with Marly as if she were a helpless little mouse were really difficult to watch. Seriously hard to watch: The cruel Kitty messing with Marly’s head.
I missed it last week so much, But while my heart still lies with the original cast, I’m not going to lie, but for the first time, I became involved in the storylines of the new kids. The New York City storyline was back this week. Grease did not top the West Side Story arc, for me, but it was satisfying nevertheless. Like “West Side Story” last season, the action and themes from the musical are woven into the lives and of the characters. So, I wasn’t expecting to like this week’s episode “Glease” as much as I did.
I might be the only human being who is NOT a fan of the 1978 movie Grease, starring Olivia Newton John and John Travolta. Will co-directors Finn ( Cory Monteith) and Artie (Kevin McHale) pull off Grease? Tune in to find out. The evil psycho cheerleader, Kitty ( Becca Tobin), pissed that Marly nabbed the starring role she wanted, bullies the vulnerable girl in the meanest way possible. Marly ( Melissa Benoist) is Sandy and Ryder (Glee Project winner, Blake Jenner) plays Danny. The Glee club newbies have starring roles in Grease. The two have not seen their ex-boyfriends since they split in New York City two episodes ago. Kurt ( Chris Colfer) and Rachel ( Lea Michele) travel back to Lima to attend the McKinley High School musical, Grease.
