When a television executive (Jim Rash) invites Rachel to audition for a project in Los Angeles, Rachel jumps at the opportunity—at the expense of her commitment to Funny Girl. A wealthy socialite (Shirley MacLaine) takes Blaine under her wing and advises him to break off his engagement to Kurt. Mercedes fights to have Santana record a song for her new album.

Next Time: Chris Colfer takes the writer's pen, as despite the above, the humbling continues when Rachel's attempt at image rehab goes to the dogs. Literally. Plus, on a sadder note, the final performance of another of Glee's cornerstones, this one being the resident Snark Knight.

Songs:

  • Wake Me Up by Avicii, performed by Rachel
  • Doo Wop (That Thing) by Lauryn Hill, performed by Mercedes and Santana
  • Story of My Life by One Direction, performed by Kurt and Blaine
  • Piece of My Heart by Erma Franklin, performed by Blaine and June Dolloway
  • The Rose by Bette Midler, performed by Rachel
