This week’s episode opened to find Blaine twerking as he sets up the choir room, only for the audience to later find out that Tina had been filming it on her phone the whole time.
“Glee” started off in the negatives for continuity points as it conveniently forgot that the club was suspended for a week last episode.
Mr. Schue, upon seeing the recording, decides that the club should twerk at Regionals and therefore sets up a “twerk-torial” for those who didn’t know how to twerk.
After that, the viewers are swept to New York where a bit of rebellion has come over Rachel as she decides to cut her hair. This puts her on her “Funny Girl” director’s bad side, as she didn’t get his permission.
But after a mediocre performance of “You Are Woman, I Am Man,” the director decides he likes the haircut – it isn’t until later that we find out the hair is really a wig.
“Glee” earned its continuity point by bringing “Sue’s Corner” back on the air. Sue vows to ban twerking at McKinley, thus causing drama amongst the glee kids. Schue decides it’s time to blur the lines, and what better way to do that than by singing “Blurred Lines.”
Back in New York, Kurt and Rachel decide to not only get drunk, but to also get tattoos during their drunkenness.
After that bit of pointlessness, the viewers are brought back to Lima. After being bullied in the boy’s bathroom, Unique sings a beautiful rendition of “If I Were A Boy,” which causes the entire choir room to tear up and for Jake and Ryder to announce that some people need an “ass-kicking.”
Schue needs to present a defense as to why they should be allowed to twerk, and honestly, it’s a good one. Schue and the glee kids show different styles of dancing that had been seen as improper during their time periods. The school board decides to be on the right side of musical history and rule in favor of Schue.
In a new twist, Marley finds out that Jake has cheated on her with Bree. Thankfully, this means the cheating storyline might end soon because the glee writers need to find a better way to cause relationship drama than by having a character cheat.
Marley then sings “Wrecking Ball” because, why not? Schue and Sue have declared war on each other (for the sixth time, I believe) after Schue refuses to stop twerking and Sue refuses to remove the purple port-a-potty that was painted with Riddler-style question marks that she bolted to the floor of the choir room for Unique to use. Schue leaves the office in a Sue-styled tantrum.
Back in New York, it seems that Kurt has an error with his tattoo. Oh no! This is why you shouldn’t get tattoos when you’re drunk, Kurt. So he goes to complain and finds out that he made the mistake, and the tattoo artists offer to fix it for free and even throw in a tongue piercing.
Back in Lima, Schue decides to stop twerking after Sue offers to give Unique a key to the unisex faculty bathroom after observing Schue allow Unique entry to said bathroom. Schue, you really messed up when it came to Kurt, but it seems as if you’re learning from that.
I hate to say it, but one of the best lines of dialogue comes from Schue’s mouth this episode: “No one needs to know how you identify yourself, only that you washed your hands after.”
The glee kids then sing an upbeat song to show that they’re going to stay true to themselves— at least until the next assignment roles around.
