The Substitute (Glee) Overview

Well in the spirit of flu season, both Figgins and Mr. Schue are both out. The most terrifying part about this is that Sue has been instated as the new principle. The lovely Gwenyth Paltrow is standing in for Schue as Spanish teacher and glee coach. We also see the re-appearance of Terri trying to win Schue back by nursing him back to health

Rachel is trying to take over the glee club in Mr. Schue's absence and Kurt is sick of it. Thus enter Holly Holiday as new glee coach. but not until after she was done talking about Lindsay Lohan and her numerous trips to rehab in Spanish. She changes things up a bit when she asks the kids what songs they want to sing. *Cue very rad performance of Cee Lo Green's "Forget You".*

Sue is using her power to try and disband the football team but after Beiste reminds her that her Cheerios won't have anyone to cheer for, she bans tater-tots instead. *Cut to Mr. Schue performing "Make 'Em Laugh" with Mike Chang in a dream sequence.*

Rachel is not in love with Holly and her teaching methods so she goes to voice her concers to Mr. Schue. Terri has said that she is moving on with her life but she is still trying to get back with Will. In his sickly state, they end up kissing and Terri thinks that it meant something when in reality, it was a mistake.

Kurt is setting Mercedes up on a date so that maybe she will forget about the lack of tots. But she doesnt want a lover, she wants tots. Aparently Rachel didnt hate Holly that much because they did a duet of "Nowadays/Hot Honey Rag" from Chicago. *Love* Will returns to school but he is not completely healthy. And Sue fired Figgins! And Will! That leaves Sue as prnciple and Holly as Spanish/glee club teacher. This leads to a throwdown between Holly and Will about how the kids need to be able to express themselves through music.

Mercedes is in trouble for shoving tots up the tailpipe of Sue's Le Car. After careful consideration, Holly goes to visit Will to tell him that she is resigning. They talk about her "no consequences" lifesyle and how that makes her a bad choice as his replacement. Mercedes tags along on Kurt and Blaine's date and is relatively bored. Afterward, Kurt tells Mercedes that she is substituting food for love and Kurt for a boyfriend.

To close the episode, Mr. Schue wants to do a cover of "Singin' In The Rain". The kids are not thrilled with his song choice so he goes to Holly, who is subbing for a history teacher dressed up like Mary Lincoln, to help him modernize it. They end up putting it together with Rhianna's "Umbrella" and the performance was super cool.



Wish you well,
