Meanwhile, out in the hall, St. Gay Of Lima chit-chats with Mercedes about her college options for a bit until their conversation's interrupted by a party-sized young gentleman sporting an absolutely tragic grey sweater-vest and oh, my holy god, this kid suh-huuuuucks with the acting, so I'm gonna keep this brief: The portly pepperpot is "Wade Adams," portrayed by yet another reject from that reality show I didn't watch and he's a member of Carmel High's Vocal Adrenaline who's come to McKinley to seek out a bit of advice from his two heroes, Mercedes and St. Gay, because Mr. Adams is an extra-special snowflake who feels he can't thrive under the supposedly harsh tutelage of Jesse St. James. After we zip through a delightful and far-too-brief sideways smear of Jesse St. James in action back at Carmel, the three children retire to an unused classroom so we might learn a bit more about this character no one asked for and no one cares about. Long story short, Wade Adams is actually a baby transgender named "Unique," a moniker I choose to believe is deeply ironic, because no honey... you're not. At all. In any event, Unique would like to perform at Vocal Adrenaline's Regionals competition in a dress and heels. Should she do it? St. Gay and Mercedes respond with a shocked and uncomfortable silence.
