McKinley High Hall. Becky's busily distributing yet another edition of The Muckraker, this one featuring a gossipy little tidbit about Finn and Rachel canoodling in Finn's pickup truck. Quinn takes one look at the article and storms off to confront her behemoth of a boyfriend, who just so happens to be storming up to confront her over her presence at The Cabin Of Sin the previous evening. The two yell at each other right there in the middle of the hallway -- while dozens of extras pass by with nary a one of them stopping to eavesdrop, of course -- until Quinn angrily snips, "I guess I know what song we'll be singing this week in Glee Club!" and with that, we're off to the...
...music room, where the bickering adolescents hurl themselves into a passive-aggressive version of "I Don't Wanna Know" that clearly sets everyone else in the room on edge. And when it's over, Rachel picks a fight with Quinn over who gets to croon harmonies with Frankenteen at Nationals -- no, seriously, like, has no one noticed he's the worst singer in the group yet? -- and Mr. Schue ineffectually attempts to intervene, but Quinn finally issues the following ultimatum: Either Rachel backs the hell off her boyfriend, now, or she's quitting the club. Or something like that. Next!
Well, this is pretty pointless. Emma -- who's looking especially adorable in an abstract floral print skirt she's paired with a simple, short-sleeved navy blue sweater beneath a chunky beaded necklace -- eases herself into the auditorium to watch as Will and Orange April perform one of the big numbers from Crossrhodes. It's a wildly overwrought piece detailing Orange April's popularity with the gentlemen, if you know what I mean, and Chenoweth amusingly mocks herself by unleashing one of her ridiculously overblown glory notes at the end of it, but the song itself has absolutely nothing to do with the episode that surrounds it, so I'll skip to the bit wherein Orange April begs Will to leave teaching behind and help her take the show to New York. Will of course insists that he can't abandon the children now that they're on the verge of performing at Nationals, but Orange April quite rightly points out that winning a show choir championship has been the kids' dream, not his. As she darts off into the wings, leaving him alone with the thirty-piece orchestra they'd assembled for this rehearsal, the camera hops back over to Emma, who frets for one very long moment before disappearing back into the school proper.
