When substitute Holly Holliday fills in for the absent sex education teacher, she joins forces with Will to teach the kids of New Directions the facts of life. Santana and Brittany ask Holly's advice about their relationship. Emma heads up the Celibacy Club, and she and her husband Carl face some issues in their marriage with Holly's help, notably her continuing celibacy; when Emma confesses to still having feelings for Will, Carl moves out. Finn and Quinn get back together. A warning from Blaine prompts Burt to give Kurt "the talk" about sex.

Songs performed:

  • "Do You Wanna Touch Me (Oh Yeah)" by Gary Glitter (though modeled on the Joan Jett cover), performed by Holly Holliday with Santana and Brittany
  • "Animal" by Neon Trees, performed by Kurt, Blaine and the Warblers
  • "Kiss" by the artist who used to be and still is known as Prince, performed by Will and Holly
  • "Landslide" by Fleetwood Mac, performed by Holly, Santana and Brittany
  • "Afternoon Delight" by the Starland Vocal Band, performed by Puck, Carl, Emma, Quinn and Rachel

Tropes:

  • Anguished Declaration of Love: Santana to Brittany.
  • Cargo Ship: Shrubtana.
  • Misplaced Wildlife: Brittany mentions having seen a stork build its nest on top of her garage. However, there is only one type of stork, the wood stork, that breeds in the continental United States, and its breeding range is limited to southern states, not extending any further north than North Carolina (although a few nonbreeding vagrants have indeed been recorded in Ohio). It should be noted though, that especially considering Brittany’s ditziness, it’s also possible she actually saw a heron, which are common and do breed in Ohio, and mistook it for a stork.
  • Miss Conception: Type I. Brittany tells Santana that she's pregnant, and the word spreads back to Artie, who is concerned because he and Brittany did have sex. However, Brittany believes that she's pregnant because a stork built its nest on top of her garage because "it was getting ready to bring me my baby".
  • The Talk: Burt gives Kurt the talk after Blaine meets up with him in his auto shop and tells him that he's concerned that Kurt will never find out the truth about sex for himself.
