Smear to Rachel Trying That, and as Emma is fluttery and useless, and as Rachel is sporting this absolutely dismal prairie blouse patterned with tiny purple Zias, let's...
...smear back to the music room, where Quinn schools Mr. Schue like so: "The fact is, women still earn seventy cents to every dollar that a man does for doing the same job. That attitude starts in high school." Several points to Miss Fabray. Mr. Schue's elaborately shellacked coif droops a bit at Quinn's cynicism, so Will wanders on over to...
...Emma's office, where Emma replenishes her stock of sight gags ("Wiping: Easy As 1-2-3," "I Still Breastfeed... But How Old Is Too Old?" and "Help! I'm In Love With My Stepdad!") while bemoaning the fact that she can't do her job if she lacks the kids' confidence. Will understands that issues surrounding sexual dynamics constitute Emma's "blind spot" as a guidance counselor, and he just wants to help her so she'll be prepared the next time a female student drops by with questions similar to Rachel's. Emma, of course, immediately thinks he's offering to Do It with her, and there's much supposedly comical stuttering and stammering to the contrary until Will clarifies, "What this is really about is teenaged girls feeling like they have no power." Emma immediately agrees with him and adds that it makes sense because today's junior misses have such lousy role models. "You've got Britney Spears and her shaved head," Emma shrugs, "Lindsay Lohan looks like something out of Lord Of The Rings, Ann Coulter..." HA! Will's facial expression reads, "You had me, then you really had me, and then you just completely frigging lost me with that last one." Or maybe I'm projecting a bit, because seriously: What kind of nitwit thinks teenage girls hold Mann Coulter up as a role model? Oh, right: The Emma Nitwit. Never mind. Moving on: Will just wants to work with Emma to instill a sense of self-confidence in The Lovely Ladies Of McKinley High. Emma's tickled by the idea of being part of a "girl-saving team," and readily agrees with the plan.
Later, while strolling through the hallways, Will happens to pass the gymnasium just as the opening guitar lines from "Ray Of Light" spill out into the corridor.
