Glee, Comebacks Recap
Glee (Tuesdays at 8PM on FOX)
Last night's Glee wasn't one of my favorites but it may be because I'm immune to Bieber-fever and a "Sue-icidal" Sue. The songs featured last night, just weren't my cup of tea, but let's recap...
As I said, Sue was feeling "Sue-icidal" after the Cheerios didn't win a bid to Nationals and Emma and Will went to see if she was okay... eventually Emma came up with the idea to have Sue join Glee Club for a week, because music makes you feel better.

Quinn is losing interest in Sam, I mean, he wanted to go coaster painting on Friday night, and convinced him she got mono from saving Finn's life via CPR/tongue excavation of a jaw-breaker lodged in his throat... So what does Sam do?
He brushes his hair forward, dons a purple hoodie and starts singing Justin Bieber tunes in his one-man band The Justin Bieber Experience. It worked at a Bat Mitzvah when singing a few lycs of "Baby", so he took it to Glee Club. More on that in a second.
Meanwhile, Mr. Schue tells New Directions and Sue that Regionals has a theme this year, and it's "an anthem" which Brittany defines as "the bottom of an ant's pants" and sends them off on their assignment. Sue takes this opportunity to try and pit Mercedes and Rachel against each other. But back to them later...
Sam performs a Justin Bieber tune (more of "Baby") for Glee Club, and as the guys seem unimpressed the girls work themselves into a swoon-fest. Afterwards, Artie, Mike, and Puck ask Sam to expand his Bieber-one-man-band into a group to help them get out of the post-Valentine's day slumps. Finn is the only one not into the whole thing, as he secretly taunts Quinn's lack of interest in Sam's face. They totally sing, like, another, like, Bieber tune ("Somebody to Love" with a bunch of clalk clapping, which must be a homeage to the original video...)

Meanwhile, Rachel had paid Brittany to help her "make a comeback" by making her a fashion icon at the school. However, the plan totally backfires when Brittany wears leg-warmers on her arms and makes carosuel sweaters and plaid skirts (aka sexy schoolgirl librarian chic) trendy. Although I totally loved that Brittany is a style icon at McKinnley, this story-line fell super flat.
Something that didn't fall flat was the Puck and Lauren romance. Puck helps Lauren do her first solo in Glee Club by telling her to picture everyone vulnerable in their underwear while she performs and she teases him mercilessly while performing the only song I really liked from last night, "I Know What Boys Like".
Mr. Schue brings Sue to a children's hospital (P.S. it was filmed with real patients!) and "This Little Light of Mine" and Sue melts into a smiling, humane person for a few minutes.

Back at school, Santana propositions Sam about being able to touch her "twins" and tells him Quinn lied about the choking story. He takes it to heart and breaks up with her, even though she seemingly chose him over Finn this week.
Mercedes and Rachel start their Diva-Off as rivals, but end with smiles much to the dismay of Sue. Oh, by the way, they sang Rent's "Take Me or Leave Me".
Sue, after her heart-warming trip to the hospital, rightfully claims that no one has actually sang "an anthem" yet, but has the perfect solution... My Chemical Romance's "Sing"... but what was with all the plaid shirts? Mr. Schue and the rest of New Directions think it's the perfect song for Regionals, except for Rachel who thinks an orignal song will give them a leg up over the competition. No one agrees when it was put to a vote, but later Finn tells her it's a good idea, but that he thinks she should write it and perform it for them in order to change their minds. I'm kind of really excited to see what they come up with for this... an original song on Glee... awesome.
At the end of the episode, Sue burst Will's bubble by telling him she's got her groove back... she's now the director of rival glee club Oral Intensity... see you at Regionals sucka.

Next week's episode looks super funny when alcohol and parties seem to take over everyone. Rachel and Blaine kiss, Brittany strips and Bieste and Schue look chummy...
