Sue and the Honeybadger have come up with a perfect plan to destroy Will and the Glee Club. They convince April Rhodes to come back to McKinley to enlist Will's help in creating a musical based on her own life, on the theory that April will then be able to tempt Will away from Ohio to the Great White Way. The other part of the plan involves restarting the school paper (The Muckraker) to fuel the flames of gossip, thereby breeding dissent among the Glee Club ranks.
The second part of the plan is pretty successful. Blind items about Santana playing for the other team and Quinn and Sam making out cause fighting in the ranks. This leads to people spying on each other. Rachel and Finn see Sam and Kurt exiting a no-tell motel, causing speculation that Kurt is cheating on Blaine. And the night, they see Quinn and Sam exiting the same motel, while Jewfro sees Finn and Rachel hanging out in his car. So that leads to more fighting and jealousy. But it turns out that Kurt and Quinn were each at the motel to help Sam out, because familial unemployment has caused his entire family to have to move into a single motel room. Learning about Sam's difficulty helps most of the kids forget their differences and come together in song.
But only most of the kids, because Artie gets upset with Brit-Brit's naiveté and calls her stupid, leading the two of them to break up. You'd think that Santana would be thrilled with that, and she is at first, even singing a love song to Brit. But Brit doesn't want love songs sung in empty rooms -- she wants a relationship out of the closet. And Santana breaks her heart by backing out of their planned internet announcement of their relationship and planting rumors about her own sexual exploits with Karofsky.
The first part of the League of Doom's plot doesn't seem to go as well. Will enjoys singing with April, and Emma actually encourages him to follow his own dreams instead of sacrificing them for the sake of the kids. But he is steadfast in his desire to see the kids through to Nationals. But at the very end, he looks like he may be having second thoughts. Could this be the end of the dream?
Featuring the music of Fleetwood Mac's 1977 album, Rumours, including "Don't Stop," performed by the entire club, "Dreams," performed by Will and April Rhodes, "Go Your Own Way," performed by Rachel, "I Don't Want To Go," performed by Finn and Quinn, "Never Going Back Again," performed by Artie (with backup from the McKinley Guitar Ensemble), and "Songbird," performed by Santana. I blame the Clintons for this shit. Fortunately for me, Demian gets to deal with it in the full recap.
