I Have Confidence!

Last week on Glee: Terri learns she isn’t pregnant but doesn’t tell Will. Glee performs a raunchy song at a school assembly. Emma begins dating Coach while Finn and Rachel share a passionate kiss. Prissy Cheerleader and her friends join Glee in hopes of getting Finn back and destroying Glee.

Will’s parents come over for—holy crap, Will’s dad is Victor Garber! And his mom is Debra Monk! Will spills about the non-baby, scaring Terri. She shows mom-in-law the nursery while Dad apologizes for being a lousy dad. He talks about being a lawyer—nod to Eli Stone?—but went into insurance instead. He tells Will to find some courage. Ladies and gentlemen, tonight’s theme!

At school, Glee doesn’t like Will’s choreography. Prissy and Friend trick Rachel into mentioning a professional choreographer. Prissy asks Will if he ever performed again after school. And we’re back to Will’s courage question as he blathers on in Emma’s office. He asks about her date with Coach. She says great rather quickly. They flash to the teachers’ lounge to celebrate shop teacher Henri’s birthday. Henri is depressed because his dependency on OTC drugs caused him to lose his thumbs. After a lovely round of “For He’s a Jolly Good Fellow,” Will gets an idea.

He forms the Acafellas. Will, Henri, Coach and Howard (Terri’s coworker) sing hip hop acapella. Meanwhile, Terri increases her marriage’s sex life but fails to get pregnant. Will thinks it’s about his new confidence and being in a boy band—a nod to LMNT?

Will begins missing Glee practices. Rachel makes him cookies to apologize about her comments. He says they can hire Dakota Stanley and thanks her. Rachel and Finn worry about Will while Prissy gets Dakota. Rachel and Finn talk about their kiss and relationship status. Rachel flips out on him and Finn is so confused.

Prissy and Friend report to Jane. She’s happy to hear about Will’s distraction. Prissy thinks Dakota will cause the Glee kids to quit. Mercedes and Kurt talk about kissing. He tells her of Glee’s standing then invites her to the mall. Prissy and Friend try to help Mercedes “get” Kurt. Wrong first victim, girls. Mercedes can break you.

Acafellas perform “Poison.” They get applause and Emma remembers to cheer for Coach. Debra and Victor are there, selling CDs. Principal Figgins invites Will to perform at the PTA to keep the parents happy after the announcement the children will be eating prison food. Sandy, though, wants in and dangles Josh Groban in front of the Acafellas.

Glee visits a rival squad and are warned away from Dakota. The group performs “Mercy.” Dakota turns Glee down, saying he works for $8,000.

Hey was that Ben in the Audi commercial?

Will and Coach work on dance moves. Howard quits while Coach worries about Emma possibly breaking up with him. She says Henri downed 6 bottles of cough syrup and now is going to rehab. Emma encourages Will. Finn says he is quitting Glee too. Will says he hasn’t quit and encourages Finn to stay. He also asks about Acafellas. Finn’s football buddy offers to join the group—for the cougars. Coach threatens him and then welcomes him.

Will works with Finn and Jock. He tells them to work the hips and swing bats. It works. Rachel and Tina give Mercendes a “gayvention.” She is still in denial and bemoans their social status. Mercedes is happy with Kurt. The cheerleaders help Glee with their car wash fundraiser. Jane and Emma banter while Kurt tells Mercedes he is in love with someone else. He means Finn, but Mercedes sees Rachel. Finn lies that that’s who he meant. Mercedes breaks Kurt’s window and performs with the cheerleaders. She is AMAZING! Kurt flips but feels bad when Mercedes tells him he broke her heart.

Glee gets Dakota, who gives them personalized menus. He then kicks Mercedes and Artie out, tells Rachel to get a nose job and calls Finn “Frankenteen.” The original Glee quits before Rachel reminds them of people who were different but succeeded (like Barbara Streisand. Come on, they had to mention her at least once). She rallies Glee and fires Dakota. At the performance, Finn thanks Will as Sandy says Josh Groban is in the audience. Acafellas perform. Terri loves watching Will, even if they are singing Color Me Badd. They get a standing ovation. Wow, they got Josh Groban. He brings his security and gives Sandy a restraining order. He loved the show anyway.

Terri apologizes to Will and praises him and Acafellas. Victor asks if anyone has seen Debra. Turns out Josh likes cougars as well. He liquors Debra up. Seems Acafellas are over, but Will still has his confidence. Victor is going to go to law school—shout out to Legally Blonde as well? Mercedes apologizes to Kurt, who admits he’s gay. Anyone surprised? Course not. He’s a walking stereotype, writers. She tells him to be himself but he doesn’t have confidence. Dakota’s gone, Will’s back and Jane tells Prissy and Friend they smell of failure. She revokes their tanning privileges.

All’s well in Glee.
