Outside the voting booths, Coach Beiste is working at the voter check-in table. Will and Emma stop by -- presumably to vote in the real election, although I would think they would have their own people checking in voters for that one. However, the fact that both elections are in the same room does give Sue an excuse to be there, making out with Cooter for the news cameras. The Panther tells Will that Sue is just trying to rub it in her face, but Will tells her that it's all just campaign strategy. And then Becky runs up to the table with a polaroid of the kiss for the Coach: "Sue wants you to have this. She says she hopes it rubs it in your face." Emma expresses confusion over what happened with Cooter, and the Coach tells her, "He said I was uncommunicative." I think punching someone communicates quite a bit. Emma tells her that she needs to tell Cooter how she feels. And then the Coach sings Dolly Parton's "Jolene." It's all a fantasy, as we see her at the election, but also watching Sue put on makeup and watching Sue and Cooter lift weights together. Coach Beiste has a nice country edge to her voice, but I wish she was a bit stronger on the chorus. As the song finishes, Rachel asks her if she's okay.
Hallway. Some dudes look at Santana, and then a rugby jock accosts her at her locker. Wait, this school has a rugby team? What sports don't they have? Anyway, rugby dude is totally gross, and Santana seems genuinely frightened. But then the combined girls of New Directions and the Troubletones come to her defense, leading to all of them taking off down the hall singing Katy Perry's "I Kissed a Girl." I really would have rather heard them sing Jill Sobule. The song finishes in the music room, where the boys are really enjoying themselves. After the song finishes, Santana tells everybody that she came out to her parents and they were pretty accepting. I know it pissed some forum posters off that this discussion happened off camera, but if they're only going to have one of her difficult coming out talks, I'm glad they chose her abuela later in the episode. And then Figgins interrupts the rehearsal to call Kurt to his office.
