Artie, aware that Finn is an emotional wreck, visits him in the tire shop and persuades him to sign on as co-director of the musical (Grease, as selected in some episode). Finn's nervous at first, but after a pep talk from Coach Beiste, he recruits Bland New Guy (whose name may be Rider, but that seems too ridiculous) to audition for the male lead. Artie also recruits Mercedes and Mike Chang to come back to school to act as choreographer and vocal coach. The big conflict is driven by Finn's desire to cast Not-So-Unique as Rizzo in the show, to Sue's dismay. She tries to get Figgins to intervene, but Finn won't back down.
There's also an insane amount of teenage jealousy floating around. Marley seems into Bland New Guy, which just causes New Quinn to set her eyes on him. Meanwhile, New Puck is trying to pretend that he's not insanely jealous of the attention Marley is giving Bland New Guy. The end result is that New Puck and New Quinn audition for the musical, and end up competing with Marley and Bland New Guy for the same roles. And the winners are Marley and Bland New Guy.
In the meantime, Will and Emma are at loggerheads about whether she'll join him in Washington. After some unofficial counseling from Coach Beiste, Emma agrees to go. But Beiste knows she's really not into it, and encourages her to be honest with Will. So she is, and they work it out. And Will arranges with Figgins for Finn to take over the glee club.
Oh, and Blaine is totes depressed about the breakup with Kurt. And Tina is overwrought at seeing Mike. All the standard teenage romantic angst.
Featuring Foreigner's "Jukebox Hero," performed by Finn and Bland New Guy; Neon Trees' "Everybody Talks," performed by New Puck and New Quinn; Pink's "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)," performed by Marley and Not-So-Unique (a.k.a. Urethra Franklin); and a couple of songs from Grease.
