In the auditorium, Rachel yells at the rest of Glee to get the steps right. She won her first dance competition when she was three months old, she knows what she's talking about. Finn and Artie come in. He owes an apology, he shouldn't have quit. He doesn't want to be the guy that drives around throwing eggs at people. Kurt reminds him that he's also the type to throw pee balloons at people and nail lawn furniture on people's roofs. Finn wasn't there for that last one, but he's sorry nonetheless. That's not him. Even though it may be the lamest thing, he wants to be there for the same reason they all do. To be good at something.
Can Artie recruit the jazz band? He does have some pull there. They need costumes and they need to be cool. Can Mercedes do that? Does he not see what she has on?
Rachel can handle to the choreography. And Tina? What are you good at? "I...I..." They'll figure it out. Mercedes asks "JT" what he's bringing to the table. Music, man. He's got the music...
Career Center. Emma shows Will a tape she found in the library of the '93 Glee Club at Nationals. We don't get to see it but can hear "That's the Way (I Like It)" in the background. It's the happiest she's ever seen him. It was the greatest moment of his life. He loved what he was doing and, being a part of it, knew who he was in the world. The only other time he felt like that is when he found out Terri was preggers. He needs to provide for his family. Emma wonders what exactly? The understanding that money is the most important thing or the idea that the only life worth living is the one your passionate about.
You crying yet?
As he leaves, he hears music in the auditorium.
The jazz band is representing in full effect!
Cool outfits! Choreography!
MUSICAL EXPLOSION!!!
The song ends. Will applauds and tells them it was a 9, but they need a 10. He gives Rachel and Finn some notes. Does that mean he's staying? It would kill him if they won nationals without him.
And curtain...
You've all had a couple weeks now to watch this multiple times and form a strong opinion. What'd you think? Can you believe we have to wait a whole season for the next ep?! If I didn't have SYTYCD and PottyMouth's recaps this summer, I don't know what I'd do. See ya in the fall!!

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...

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
