We start this WhamEpisode with Kurt flanked by Burt and Carole, a showface clearly plastered on. We soon see why; we cut to Finn at his locker when the trio approaches. Seems that Burt has a routine of driving Carole to work; instead, he detoured to [=McKinley=], snuck the both of them into the classroom where Kurt introduced them, and then proceeded to put a ring on it. Yes, Burt and Carole are engaged, talk about a whirlwind courtship. Kurt appears somewhat pleased, Finnegan, as you'd expect, less so. Kurt is more thrilled he can use his wedding mags more than anything, while Burt clamps down on the budget he's saving for the honeymoon. Finn remains stunned at yet another change in his life while Burt deempahsizes provisions in favor of appropriate music; this of course means New Directions is pressed into service as we are pressed into hitting the TitleCard.

Locker Room. We see Sam working out as Finn enters, Sam declaring his intention to be quarterback. Finn objects for obvious reasons, but Sam reveals that it's an effort to be popular, saying it protects him from humiliations. Finn, knowing better, points out the irrelevancy of being popular in regards to glee, before also pointing out that Sam can't even get Quinn to be with him; seems one dinner at Breadstix didn't do the trick. Maybe changing hair color would do it, I don't know. Anyway, cut to Quinn and Sam in the science lab, where he declares his love. Okay, Sam? The higher emotions aren't something Ms. Fabray is that accustomed to; the one time she nearly opened her heart, she screwed that up by opening certain appendages towards Puck. Again, maybe hair color has something to do with it or something[[{{Creator/LeaMichele}} .]] In any event, said declarations cause Quinn to scoff in disbelief before Sam drops to a knee and produces a promise ring, which is a step below a proper engagement ring. After the expected freakout, Sam states what will be his ill fated intent, but also declares his intent to always be there for her, not pressure her into sex and what have you. Quinn stands stunned, but can only muster a maybe.

As luck would have it, Will was nearby and approaches Kurt, who by this point is in tears at the implied [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil threats]]. They head to Sue's office, where she points out she's helpless unless Karofsky does more than shoving, because to accuse him will lead to the expected denials. She then calls him "lady" and that sets him off, causing her to explains that she thought it was his name before allowing him to pick a new one out of "Gelfling", "Porcelain", or "Tickle-Me-Doughface". Kurt goes with "Porcelain" and thus gives Sue the nickname she'll use for the entire series. After the break we are in the choir room, where Rachel calls a meeting of the ND women minus Mercedes and Santana. She says that since they have boyfriends on the Titans (sorta in Quinn's case, apparently Mike rejoined and Brittany/Artie are "together"), that they can confront Karofsky and warn him to back off. Santana arrives complaining about not being asked to attend, only to be told that using Puck as a way to get off doesn't count as dating; that and he's still on probation.
Rachel ends by saying if they sit idle as Kurt is abused, they'll never live with themselves.

Cut to Rachel fuming that Finn, as you'd expect, is not gonna help the other ND men confront Karofsky, saying if he does, he'll pay for it on the field and Sam will remain quarterback. Finn, you're an idiot, and for once, Rachel actually sees that. Nice taste in men Berry. Ever thought about oh, not dating them[[{{Creator/DiannaAgron}} ?]] Cut to the locker room where Artie and Mike attempt to step up to Karofsky, only for the size difference to be asserted leading Mike to be thrown ''into'' Artie. Sam, lacking in height but making up for it in balls, takes him head on before Bieste arrives to break it up. Cut to the ND women handing out the ice packs, Puck lamenting not being able to help while everyone lambasts Finn for being a coward. Kurt, clearly submissive to his fate at this point, says it's not ND's problem before thanking Sam. Will arrives to get everyone to take their minds off Karofsky by rehearsing the wedding dance.

Next time: Sectionals 2010, and a change in relationship statuses.

We begin in [=McKinley=], where Kurt, Burt and Carole tell Finn that Carole and Burt are getting married, and Kurt's planning the wedding. Finn doesn't seem amused. Burt tells Kurt that he can't be too extravagant as they're saving for a honeymoon. Finn pretends to be happy for them. Burt tells Kurt that he doesn't care about the food or the alcohol, but he wants a really good band, because he wants to dance with Carole. Kurt volunteers the Glee club.

In her office, Sue is writing wedding invitations as she internally monologues about how this joyous occasion began with '''''horror'''''. Flashback to 'Sue's Corner', where at the end of her segment, Rod Remington and his co-host, Andrea, announce that they're getting married. After that, Sue asks why he humiliated her in public, as everyone knows they dated, and Andrea tells her that she'll die alone.
End flashback. Sue internally monologues that she tried online dating, but there was only one match for her- herself. So, she's marrying herself.

In the locker room, Finn and Sam talk. Sam's decided that he hates being slushied, so he's going to be quarterback again. Finn says that being quarterback won't do it, especially as Quinn won't be Sam's girlfriend. Sam's working on it- flashback to an earlier school day, where Sam offers Quinn a promise ring, vowing to be there for when she needs him. Quinn thinks he's crazy.

In the hallway, we see Kurt's wedding plans are continuing. He's got a cake topper in his locker, for one. Finn comes over to ask him about the plans, in particular, should they actually be releasing three hundred live doves inside? Kurt says that they'll feed them glitter so the resulting mess will be festive. Finn's actually there to ask for ideas for his own problem, appearing 'leader-like'. Kurt suggests a mother and son dance. Finn objects on the grounds that he can't dance for shit, but Kurt convinces him. Karofsky appears, intimidates the fuck out of Kurt, and steals the cake topper.

Schue gets Kurt into Principal Sue's office, where they have a talk in which after a lot of arguing, Sue basically says that she is powerless to help unless Karofsky actually physically harms Kurt, because if Kurt complains about the shoving, Karofsky will just argue that he stumbled and accidentally knocked Kurt. She calls Kurt 'Lady', he gets pissed, and she explains that she thought it was his name before allowing him to pick a new one out of 'Gelfling', 'Porcelain', or 'Tickle-Me-Doughface'. Kurt goes with 'Porcelain'. Good choice.

In the music room, Rachel's called a meeting of herself, Tina, Brittany and Quinn. Why them? Because she's worried about Kurt, and since all of them have boyfriends on the football team, she wants them to get their boyfriends to team up and get Karofsky to fuck the hell off, so to speak. Santana walks in to ask why she was excluded, and Rachel says that it's because not only is she not really dating Puck, Puck might have to go back to juvie, so he's useless.

In Sue's office, she sacks her wedding planner after explaining that Sue herself will be officiating. Sue's mother, Doris Sylvester, turns up. Wait, Sue has a ''mother?'' She's ''human?'' She isn't a Terminator?
After that shock, Sue asks her mother why she's here. Doris explains that they finally caught the last Nazi. Sue asks her where the hell she's been for three years, and has she seen Jean? Doris says that she hasn't, but she will once she's found out what the hell is happening with Sue's wedding. To cut a long story short, Sue wasn't planning to invite her mother, but since her mother's here, she's welcome to attend. Doris announces that she's going to sing at Sue's wedding.

Finn tells Rachel that he's not going to help the other Glee footballers take out Karofsky, because he'll get thrashed, and then Sam will be quarterback. Hudson, you're an idiot. In the locker room, Artie and Mike confront Karofsky, who shoves Mike into Artie's chair. The two of them go down, so Sam takes on Karofsky until Beiste breaks up the fight. In the music room, the Glee club talk about the fight, with Mercedes wondering where Finn was, and Kurt saying that he needs to do it alone. In the auditorium, Doris and Sue sing 'Ohio'.

In the music room, Kurt's conducting a seminar on dance for his soon to be brother and father, both of whom aren't really known for their smooth moves. However, as soon as Kurt and Finn start to dance, Karofsky appears at the door and makes some rather obscene gestures. Burt wants to know all the info. Kurt tries to pretend that nothing's wrong, but nobody's buying it. Finally, he admits that not only has Karofsky been bullying him, he also made death threats. Burt goes berserk and gives Karofsky some threats of his own. Kurt and Finn drag him away, and everyone ends up...

...in Sue's office, where the meeting consists of Sue, Burt, Kurt, Finn, Karofsky and Karofsky's father Paul. Paul is surprisingly reasonable, admitting that Karofsky's been acting out at home and his grades have been sliding, so why shouldn't they believe Kurt? Burt tells Sue that it's her job to protect her students. Sue agrees and expels Karofsky for making death threats, adding that he can apply to the school board if he thinks it's unfair, but as for now he needs to get the hell off campus.

Before the Hudson-Hummel wedding, Santana helps Finn with his clothes before telling him that he needs to be cooler, so maybe he should tell everyone that they had sex. Finn says he won't, finally admitting that it's because he lied to Rachel about it because he loves her. Santana asks if he can't see that Rachel's dragging him down and threatens to tell Rachel instead, before leaving.

At the wedding, the Glee club perform 'Marry You', thus spawning thousands of real life imitators. The wedding begins, and the priest notes that Burt and Carole have forgone the prayers, instead choosing to offer their personal thoughts on the occasion. They basically talk about how they're going to be a family, and each of them will do their best to make sure that they'll be a good parent to their respective step-child, and they continue with the ceremony.

At the reception, Will performs 'Sway' while Burt and Carole dance. Afterwards, he invites Finn up to the microphone for his toast to his parents. Finn gives a speech about how he's going to try to be a really good brother to Kurt, and then the Glee club performs 'Just The Way You Are' for Kurt.

In the nursing home where Jean lives, the Sylvesters have gathered for a rehearsal of Sue's wedding. Doris thinks the whole thing's insane, and finally, she and Sue argue. Sue disinvites her for being a bitch, and she and Jean comfort each other.

In the hallway, Sam and Quinn talk. She's wearing the promise ring he gave her, and accepts his offer to be there for her.

In Sue's office, Sue, Carole, Burt and Kurt talk. To sum up, one or both of Karofsky's parents appealed to the school board, and as nobody actually witnessed Karofsky assaulting Kurt and the death threat, without evidence, the complaint pretty much amounted to 'he said/he said', so the school board allowed Karofsky to return. Kurt says that he can't go back to being bullied, and Sue agrees that his position is unacceptable. Because of this, she's resigning as principal so she can act as another pair of eyes, helping Kurt. Burt and Carole ask to talk to Kurt for a second.

In the music room, Kurt walks in, thanks the Glee club for their efforts, and tells them how much they mean to him... which is why it'll be so hard for him to leave. Because Karofsky's coming back, he's moving to Dalton Academy. They beg him to stay, but he leaves.

Finn tells Rachel that he's not going to help the other Glee footballers take out Karofsky, because he'll get thrashed, and then Sam will be quarterback. In the locker room, Artie and Mike confront Karofsky, who shoves Mike into Artie's chair. The two of them go down, so Sam takes on Karofsky until Beiste breaks up the fight. In the music room, the Glee club talk about the fight, with Mercedes wondering where Finn was, and Kurt saying that he needs to do it alone. In the auditorium, Doris and Sue sing 'Ohio'.
