All right. So last Tuesday’s premiere was full of new drama, characters, and story lines, just as expected. I thought that the episode was excellent and actually ended up watching it twice.
In the episode, we got caught up with what happened over the summer. Finn and Rachel dated all summer and continue to date now that school has started up again…at least so far. Quinn seems to be fine since she gave her baby up for adoption on the season one finale. Santana ended up getting a boob job over the summer. Tina broke things off with Artie after getting close to Mike over the summer at an Asian camp. Artie doesn’t like it and wants to get her back.
Now that school has begun, the glee clubbers think that their fellow peers will be more receptive to them and they won’t be the outcasts of the school anymore. You quickly realize that nothing has changed when Kurt gets a slushie to the face in the first 3 minutes of the episode. Mr. Schuester thinks that since nationals are in New York City this year, more people will sign up to join the glee club.
Also in the beginning of the episode, the rivalry between Schuester and Sue continues. However, moments after their mini battle, Principle Figgins announces that he is cutting both of their budgets and that it is going to the football team under the new coach, Shannon Beiste. Sue and Schuester realize that they must team up in order to bring Bieste down. They do multiple different pranks, but eventually Schuester breaks down and realizes that he shouldn’t be doing such mean things towards her. So the battle between Schu and Sue continues.
While posting up more sign-up sheets, Rachel and Finn run into what looks like the two new members of glee club. Rachel runs into the new foreign exchange student Sunshine, who is played by Charice Pempengco. They end up singing “Telephone” by Lady Gaga. While Sunshine is having fun with it, Rachel is realizing that Sunshine is a really good singer and you see that Rachel doesn’t like this at all.
Finn runs into the new transfer student Sam, played by Chord Overstreet, in the locker room. Finn creeps on Sam while he is singing the song “Every Rose has Its Thorn” by Poison in the shower. Which is very similar to how Finn was discovered in season one. Finn eventually gets Sam to meet up in the choir room with the other guys in glee club. They end up singing “Billionaire” by Travie McCoy and Bruno Mars. And may I say, I instantly fell in love with Sam. Sorry Puck, but you have some competition for cutest guy in glee club.
Artie wants to get Tina back and he thinks that joining the football team will help. So he recruits Finn, thinking that if Finn talks to Beiste, she will let him join. However the plan doesn’t go over well. Beiste takes it the wrong way and ends up kicking Finn off of the team completely.
Sue takes Quinn back to the Cheerios cheerleading squad and she is the head cheerleader once again. Which makes a new rivalry between her and Santana. They even get in a fight in the middle of the hallway with a lot of slapping and hair pulling.
At the auditions for glee club, nobody ends up showing up. Everyone is surprised that Sunshine and Sam don’t show up. But then, Tina and Mike find out that Rachel actually sent Sunshine to a crack house. Rachel says that she did it for the team, even though everyone knows that Rachel just doesn’t want her spotlight taken away. Sunshine eventually gets to audition and sings “Listen” from the movie Dreamgirls. She knocks the song out like it is nothing. She is so powerful and soulful, but she has some pretty intense and distracting arm movements. But of course, the glee club welcomes her and they have a new powerful singer.
Finn confronts Sam about not auditioning. Sam explains how he doesn’t want to go through what Finn has. He also doesn’t think that joining the glee club will help him fit in since he is a transfer student. But Sam ends up making the football team and gets quarterback, which was Finn’s former spot. I think that this may cause some tension between them later on.
Meanwhile Schuester goes to officially welcome Sunshine to the club. When he gets there she is cleaning out her locker with Vocal Adrenaline’s director, played by Cheyenne Jackson. It turns out that Sue called the new director and told him about Sunshine and he bribes her to join. The glee club finds out and is instantly mad at Rachel.
Finn tells her and she thinks that he will break up with her. They end up telling each other that they will never break up with each other and kiss (insert gross “Awwww” sound here). She goes to apologize for losing Sunshine, but first she must go sing to herself in the auditorium, because that’s obviously what everybody does when they are feeling bad. :) The episode ends with Rachel walking into the choir room to apologize.
And that’s what happened on GLEE!
