Kiki, why is everybody staring at me?
Welcome to the second Britney Spears tribute episode, featuring the songs that weren't able to be covered two years prior.
Brittany is depressed, and turns to her namesake Britney Spears for inspiration, leading to the Glee Club and Sam to help her out. Rachel continues to struggle in adjusting to life at NYADA and in New York, as well as the constant tormenting of Cassandra, but gets help from new friend and classmate Brody. Puck returns when Will calls him and meets Jake for the first time as he gives him an attitude adjustment.
Next Time: Kurt finds some Sex in The City. No, not that. Also, a sadly expected return, and we find out what happens when a main character decides to start dressing like the actress that portrays her. Yes.
Songs (all by Britney Spears with notes):
- Hold It Against Me performed by Brittany with Kitty and the Cheerios!
- Boys/Boyfriend, by Britney and Justin Bieber, performed by Blaine and Artie
- Womanizer, performed by Tina and Unique with Marley and the WMHS girls
- 3 performed by Joe, Sam, and Tina
- Crazy/U Drive Me Crazy by Aerosmith and Britney, performed by Jake and Marley
- Oops!... I Did It Again, performed by Rachel with Brody and the NYADA students
- Gimme More, performed by Brittany with New Directions
- Everytime, performed by Marley
Tropes:
- Cool and Unusual Punishment: Rachel is allowed back into class, but she has to wash the jock straps, or whatever they call them for dancing.
- Homage: Many, including attacking paparazzi, "leave Brittany alone", "It's Brittany... bitch", shaving her hair, etc.
- Mandatory Line: Santana makes a brief appearance on a computer screen, apologizing to Brittany for not having more time for her.
- The Cameo: Mark Salling as Noah Puckerman.
- "The Reason You Suck" Speech: After Cassandra picks on her, Rachel tries this ("We've got our whole careers ahead of us, and you're just a YouTube joke.") It kinda backfires when Cassandra points out that if she can't handle the pressure of dance class, there's no way she'll make it in the real world.
- What the Hell, Hero?: What the Hell, Glee Club?: Will angrily chews out the New Directions for lip syncing.
