Last night kicked off the season of Glee, for real this time. The episode centered on Will's inability to connect his ideas about Glee with the kids. Specifically his focus on a disco number for them to perform at a school assembly. Finn is especially disturbed, since his girlfriend, head cheerleader and celibacy club prez Quinn Fabray is getting upset with him. Will meanwhile is trying to get more money because his wife is insisting that they buy a house for the new baby.
Meanwhile, Rachael attempts and fails at bulimia and talks to Emma about hopeless crushes. She then joins the celibacy club, and sabotages the assembly by switching the harmless "That's The Way I Like It" with "Push It." Her ploy works, sort of. The principal agrees to keep Glee going. But while they're rehearsing Finn and Rachael kiss a little bit.
Sure that something is happening between her boyfriend and that freaky girl, Quinn and her two lackey's audition for the Glee club. She's good, so Will not only takes her in but gives her Rachael's solo in "Don't Stop Believing" which as it turns out is the reason Finn was attracted to her. She's heartbroken and pours her sorrow out in a ballad.
I liked the episode and where the show seems to be going, but I was disappointed in the Rachael/Finn/Quinn triangle being cemented. I was hoping for at least a few episodes it would be a triangle only in Rachael's head, because girls like that thrive on self created drama. I've hung with a few of them in my time.
