3
4	Artie tests positive for an STD and is forced to tell all his sexual partners, as well as the girl he has a crush on.

5
6	Next Time: ''Theatre/FunnyGirl'''s opening night, with Rachel's ego at its peak, and some welcome cameos... actually, one actual cameo and two pseudo-cameos from people still on the payroll. Because Glee. FacePalm.

13
14	!!! Tropes
15
16	* AngryDance: Mixed with stage-combat class. It's actually quite effective.
17	* BetterThanSex: Sam describes listening to Mercedes sing as this.
18	* BigEater: Blaine has discovered all the starch-and-fat-filled dishes in New York City. An unusual example of the trope, in that Blaine does gain a few pounds.
19	* BreakfastInBed: Blaine serves Kurt breakfast in bed every Sunday morning.
20	* ImAManICantHelpIt: Sam uses this as an excuse for being angry at Mercedes for not wanting to sleep with him yet.
21	* MeatOVision: A form wherein Artie sees everyone as disease particles.
22	* NatureAbhorsAVirgin: Mercedes doesn't cave to the pressure, however.
23	* ReallyGetsAround: Artie.
24	* RecycledPlot: Mercedes asking about Rachel's first time with Finn revisits "The First Time," in Season Three.
25	* RelegatedMentor: Blaine feels insecure and like Kurt doesn't need him anymore.
26	* ShirtlessScene: Kurt gets one, which is unusual. Lampshaded when Kurt explains he did everything he could ''not'' to take off his shirt in high school, and he feels better about himself after working out and eating better.
27	* ShoutOut: To ''Film/AmericanBeauty'' in Artie's "Bags On The Wind."
28	* SlutShaming: Sam does this by naming the trope.
29	* StylisticSuck: Artie's student films are terrible.
30	* TooDumbToLive: Artie hasn't been using condoms. Because they remind him of a "tiny greasy banana wetsuit."
