4Sue pursues a smear campaign against Burt in their congressional race. Glee club directors Will and Shelby encourage some friendly competition between their clubs, but Santana does not go along with the friendly part and hounds Finn, with disastrous results. Puck falls in love with Shelby, to her dismay. The candidates for senior class president debate, and Rachel withdraws from the race, throwing her support behind Kurt.

13!!Tropes include:
14%%* ArmorPiercingQuestion: see image caption
15* ContrivedCoincidence: That all the people running for Senate have relatives at [=McKinley=], and that the girl decided to tell her uncle about Santana.
16* EnforcedMethodActing: Only the director knew that Santana was going to slap Finn before it happened - really, he mouthed it to Creator/NayaRivera during the filming. After the first take, Creator/CoryMonteith told Naya that for the re-takes she should continue actually slapping him, rather than use a stage-slap.
17* ForcedOutOfTheCloset: Santana by Finn, and then on TV by Salazar.
18* ForgivenButNotForgotten: Upon Finn's death, fans found ways to forgive him. Mostly this was reasoning that Santana forgave him, and after the event was out and proud and didn't care who knew, as well as providing the viewership with Brittana (albeit mostly in the background).
19* {{Jerkass}}: Finn outing Santana. Also, Santana herself, for her treatment of Rory.
20* [[KickThemWhileTheyAreDown Dodgeball Them While They Are Down]]: Santana deliberately takes things too far and injures Rory. At the sight of his blood, everybody except Santana feels as though they took it too far. Santana just laughs.
21* WhamLine: "Hey, Santana, why don't you come out of the closet?"
22* [[WillingSuspensionOfDisbelief Unwilling Suspension of Disbelief]]: Have we noted how implausible some elements of pretty much every plot line in the episode seem?
