get it? "rolling on the river"? heh. puns. // fox promotional photo

Here’s everything you need to know going into tonight’s Glee.

1. It’s Artie-centric. To show solidarity, Mr. Shoe demands every Glee kid spend some time in a wheelchair throughout the school day. Artie’ll be performing “Dancing with Myself.”
2. The Rachel/Finn/Quinn/Puck quadrangle may be on its way to righting itself–a sneak peek is chock-full of Quinn/Puck baby!angst–but it’s obvious those two still have feelings for each other.
3. Looks like their show-stopping wheelchair dance is to “Proud Mary,” which you can now purchase on iTunes. It’s one of those awesome numbers that gets everybody involved, showcases everyone’s talents–and there’s a female voice in there I can’t identify, which might mean that Santana or Brittany is getting a solo tonight.
4. To raise money for Sectionals, Glee Club puts on a bake sale.  Things don’t go quite as planned–looks like Puck gets his hands on some “Chronic Lady.”
5. Of course, the most talked-about number this week is “Defying Gravity.”  Mr. Shoe gives the solo to Rachel, which irritates Kurt enough to call in backup.  An Elphaba-off commences, and you can purchase Rachel, Kurt, and duet versions of the Wicked song on iTunes.

As for what lies ahead in the coming weeks, look for more of the Terri/Quinn crazymaking baby drama, Rachel taking interest in Mr. Shoe, and Kurt’s crush on Finn to further develop.  Here’s their latest November sweeps promo:
