Welcome to another tribute episode, a celebration of Carole King and Alanis Morissette.
Rachel and Kurt introduce their first assignment for the newly-formed New Directions and the remaining alumni: to perform mash-ups of songs from Carole King's Tapestry and Alanis Morissette's Jagged Little Pill. Santana decides to propose to Brittany, which causes Kurt—still regretting his breakup with Blaine—to vocally object and raise Santana's ire. Kurt's bitterness also causes tension with Rachel, whose optimistic leadership is at odds with Kurt's realistic expectations for the new members and the two friends clash. Meanwhile, Becky returns to McKinley and asks Quinn and Tina to help convince her new boyfriend Darrell that she was in glee club after trying to impress him with a number of lies. Coach Beiste has been diagnosed with gender dysphoria, and tells Sam and Principal Sue of Beiste's imminent transition and surgery.
Next Time: ...oh boy. Part 1 of a two-part example of pure insanity. And that's the best way we can describe it.
