operation: glee sectionals
I hesitate to say that last night’s episode was classic Glee, since it was only the twelfth episode ever, but it kind of was. The last few episodes had been kind of heavy-handed, what with the Down syndrome angst and the deaf kids singing “Imagine” and Kurt’s struggles with heteronormativity and Quinn’s teen pregnancy drama. So last night I was super-pleased to see a return to the more biting humor of the earlier episodes–and some nice melodrama to go along with it.
I’m sure I speak for a lot of people when I say that that the Will/Terri breakdown was SO SO SO worth eleven episodes of hating Terri’s lying guts.
Anyway, on to Sectionals!
In the promo for next week’s fall finale, it looks like there’s plenty of stuff going on for all of the couples and characters of Glee. Rachel says she understands if Quinn wants to beat her up–just please avoid her nose. The team sings “You Can’t Always Get What You Want.” And Emma’s taking one for the team and acting as Will’s proxy at Sectionals, keeping him apprised of the situation via cell phone. Whether this means she postpones her wedding or merely forgoes her reception has yet to be seen.
There’s also a shot of Will running down the school hallway, which of course has me crossing my fingers for a “speak now or forever hold your peace” moment with Emma.
The Canadian promo contains even more information. Emma, on the phone to Will from Sectionals, announces that the kids performing before New Directions are using all of McKinley’s numbers, and that the kids are FREAKING OUT. (Don’t worry, I bet they’ll figure something out.)
And it also shows Will, present in hand, sitting at a table at Emma’s wedding–alone. And with a look on his face that clearly says that Emma in a wedding dress just walked into the room. HOLY CRAP, is it next Wednesday yet?
