Old Quinn, Old Puck, Gaylord Wiener, Santana Lopez, and Mercedes return to Lima from points elsewhere to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday with their families, which offers Bloaty The Gravy Clown the perfect opportunity to offload some of his coaching responsibilities by pairing the returning graduates with various of The New New Directions for "mentoring," like so: Old Puck with New Puck, Old Quinn with New Quinn, Old Mercedes with New Mercedes, Gaylord Wiener with New Finn, and Santana Lopez with Boring New Idiot Rachel. There's some tedious drama involving the new children, of course -- New Finn and New Puck are still fighting over Boring New Idiot Rachel when everyone knows they'd make a much better couple themselves, and New Quinn's convinced Stupid Boring New Idiot Rachel to wolf down laxatives because Stupid Boring New Idiot Rachel is a moron -- but the real action comes from Santana and Old Quinn, who throw down in the music room over some still-unresolved issues. It's beautiful.

Meanwhile, over in New York City, The Horrible Hooker Of Broadway and St. Gay Of Lima have decided to hold an orphans' holiday for themselves -- supposedly because they're now more than ever determined to establish themselves as fully independent entities in their adopted city, but really because neither can afford to head to Ohio again this year after fucking back off there so many times earlier in the season. The Horrible Hooker graciously invites Dean Geyer over for the evening, because they've agreed to behave like adults regarding the whole Drunk Kate Hudson thing, while St. Gay graciously invites Sarah Jessica Parker, because Sarah Jessica Parker is a pathetic old hag with no friends. The pathetic old hag surprises everyone, however, by arriving with a screaming claque of old-school Lower East Side aggravations she hired for the evening, and a raucous party ensues, during which St. Gay drunk-dials Dreamboat Blaine so they can cry at each other for about thirty minutes.

And in the end, Stupid Boring New Idiot Rachel ODs on Metamucil and drops dead in the middle of Sectionals. Hooray!
