He tells her about having to work late for the next couple of months. She's on her feet 4 hours a day, 3 times a week and now she has to make dinner for herself? Dyslexic guy comes back. Some lady wants to return sheets and he suspects its a bed wetter. Doesn't Will see what she has to deal with? Life really isn't fair.
Will overhears Sandy Ryerson yelling at a sales associate about thread count in the next aisle over. He tries to sneak out but is caught. Sandy heard that he took over Glee Club. He's not mad, though, getting fired was the best thing that happened to him. It wasn't without its pitfalls though. His long distance girlfriend in Cleveland almost broke up with him when she found out and it took him weeks to get over his nervous breakdown. Thank goodness for medical marijuana. He just tells his doctor that he can't sleep and he gets all he wants! The whole thing has been quite lucrative. He's making 5 times more now than he did as a teacher. Who's he selling to?
Sandy hands him a free sample.
Will knocks on Jane Lynch!'s office door and asks for a second.
Emma walks outside and steps in some gum. Will runs up and asks for a sec.
He needs kids for Glee and the best performers in the school are Cheerios. She's not having it. High School is a caste system and Will's blurring the line. "Jocks, popular kids, up in the penthouse. The invisibles and the kids playing live action druids and trolls out in the forest, bottom floor." What about the Glee kids? "Sub-basement."
Emma doesn't think Jane is wrong but nothing is set in stone. Kids will choose to do what's cool, even if it's not who they are. If he can get some popular kids to sign up, the rest will come.
Will jogs around the track as Ken drives along side him in his golf cart. Ken doesn't think any of his kids will join Glee Club. They shaved off a teammates eyebrows because he watched Grey's Anatomy. I think a punch in the kidneys would have been much more effective. Anyways, all Will wants is an introduction. Ken will do it in exchange for Will putting in a good word for him with Emma.
Back to Emma. He gets the gum off her shoe and she thanks him. She has trouble with the messy things. She really thinks its nice how much he cares about Glee and the kids.
Jane, on the other hand, thinks if he really cared he'll leave well enough alone.
Locker Room. Ken threatens our lovable jocks with laps if they don't shut their mouths and listen. Will begins his spiel about Glee and its need for guys. It gets the response you'd expect.
He'll put a sign-up sheet on the door for anyone who's interested. Ken dismisses the guys. Will asks if Ken's been sleeping OK, his bloodshot eyes and all. Ken claims its just allergies. Will leaves and Ken busts out the eyedrops.
Will reviews the sign-up sheet. I'm sure Gaylord Weiner, Butt Lunch and Penis will be good additions to New Directions. Will voiceovers that he thought it was the end of Glee, until...
I'm keeping you in sight
You're a candle in a window
On a cold, dark winters night
And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might...
Will realizes why he started all this in the first place. "It was seeing the gift in a kid they didn't know they had." Next up, the blackest moment in his life.
Will has called Finn to his office. He shows him the marijuana Sandy gave him and asks how long Finn's had a problem. He swears it's not his. He'll pee in a cup! Will doesn't think it'll make a difference. Possession is 8/10 of the the law and he's sure that much pot is a felony. Will sees a lot of himself in Finn and he doesn't want to see him throw everything away. He expects more from him.
Finn voiceovers that what Will said really got to him. He expects more of himself everyday of his life. He looks confident but he struggles with the same things other kids do, like peer pressure and bacne.
Cue Finn flashback...
Daddy Finn died during the first Iraq War, "when we were fighting Osama bin Laden the first time". His mom and him were close but being a single parents was hard on her. The only good time she had was when they splurged and hired Emerald Dreams.

I have to say that I would have liked less detail and more commentary. There are dozens of sites that do recaps straight. What I love about tvgasm is the recappers are snarky.
The glee teacher rubbing down the student's stomach...I had thought that was encouraging the student to breathe through the diaphragm.

I love this show and I officially love you! I liked you at the Jesse Spano "I'm so excited...I'm so scared". Feelings grew at "dang, anything else", oh Bon Qui Qui. I realized it was love at Fosse! Just walk it out!
Seriously great show! I hope it makes it and is not sent into premature death like Freaks and Geeks and Arrested Development (RIP)

I am SO in love with this show right now!!!
If the writers can keep it this fresh, warm, and humorous.. then I shall come along for the ride.
I will spread the disease of this show to every person I know..and also any random strangers that have the misfortune of being stuck in a Starbucks Coffee line with me.
Now...
"From the top."

Thanks for recapping this show. I love it. This show is awesome. I loved the music, I loved the performances by the two groups. Especially loved the choice of songs. "Don't Stop" is a great song. I never get tired of it and I loved what they did with it.
I can't wait for it to start in the fall.
I wish glee Club had been like this when I was a kid. Can you imagine?

AnneM: agree with you comment completely, except instead of wishing i had glee club as a kid, it's not too late for me lol...trying to convince my choir teacher to start one. wish me luck =P
Loved the song choices. Omg...especially gold digger (in the season preview)...loved it already, but i think their 5 second snippit sounded better than the original.
Btw...did anyone see the season preview (I assume I can talk about it since it aired right?) Did anyone see the scene where they said the wife isn't pregnant ("did it fall out" rotflol)...I'm so guessing when that surfaces, the teacher may leave her for crazy eyes. anyone else think this?

Good luck on getting a Glee Club at your school. I think it would be a great activity.
I did see the season preview and I think the wife is going to try and fake the pregnancy for as long as possible.
I can't wait to see how the cheerleaders and their evil leader will try and make trouble for the Glee singers.
This show is almost too good for TV.

Mones! I love this show so much I can't stand it. The only bad thing is having to wait for the fall until we get more.
I love Jane Lynch! also and will watch pretty much anything she's in. But I'm liking everyone right now. I can't wait to see what they do with this and I PRAY that they don't fall victim to the same axes that cut Freaks and Geeks and My So Called Life out of our lives forever.
I could go on and on and on, but I'll just say one more thing. I Love Glee!
SWAK, PottyMouth
