4	Will sets up a boot camp for some of the members of the glee club to improve their dancing. Auditions begin for the school musical, ''Theatre/WestSideStory'' with Kurt and Blaine pitted against each other for the part of Tony. Kurt worries he's "too gay" to play any big roles on Broadway, but his father encourages him to be himself. Sue features Quinn in an anti-arts commercial for her congressional campaign. Shelby Corcoran (Idina Menzel) is hired to set up a rival glee club at [=McKinley=] High, and reaches out to her adopted daughter's birth parents Quinn and Puck. Kurt begins his campaign for senior class president.

6	Next Time: We meet Mike Chang's father, and the stereotypes, they are plenty. Plus, more ego stroking, culminating in the first defection to the new glee club.

8	!!Songs:
9	* "Somewhere" from ''Theatre/WestSideStory'', performed by Rachel and Shelby

13
14	!!Tropes:
15	* AdultsAreUseless: When Sue's the only one who has a semblance of mostly-appropriate conduct towards the students (specifically Quinn), something's wrong. Will just gets worse from here on out.
16	* CelebrityParadox: Kurt talks about the career of Creator/KateHudson, [[spoiler: next season's bitchy-good dance teacher Cassie July]].
17	%%* CuteButPsycho: Quinn.
18	* DoubleEntendre: ''"the unicorn was riding you"''
19	%%* EverythingsBetterWithRainbows
20	%%* TheMusical
21	* NoBisexuals: Even though just one, they refuse to use the term, instead putting in deliberate substitutes, which is worse.
22	%%* PinkMeansFeminine
23	%%* RousseauWasRight
24	* {{Swirlie}}: By Quinn and the Skanks.
25	* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: An epic one was delivered when Quinn tries to blame Glee Club for "ruining" her life:
26	-->'''Will''': Ms. Fabray, wait. You know there's only one person in this world that you care about, and that's yourself.\
27	'''Quinn''': You have no idea...\
28	'''Will''': I'm not finished! You're not a little girl anymore, Quinn. How long are you planning on playing the victim card? Since day one, you've done nothing but sabotage the same Glee club that's been there for you over and over again! When you got pregnant, when your parents kicked you out... You know, Mercedes even let you live in her house! And I don't recall ever hearing so much as a 'thank you'. Tonight, you're a train wreck. Well, congratulations. But you stride into my office and tell me it's MY fault? Well, then I have something to say to you... Grow up.
