The number one song in the country is 0:00:27.880 --> 0:00:33.000 what You Say by Jason Droulleau. Last episode it was 0:00:33.159 --> 0:00:37.120 um Down by Jason, So it's gotten de throned, throned. 0:00:38.320 --> 0:00:42.160 And the number one movie what was it to? Two twelve? 0:00:42.600 --> 0:00:47.960 What a time? What a time? Um, there's a couple 0:00:47.960 --> 0:00:52.839 of things that happened for the Glee FAMI this week. UM. 0:00:52.840 --> 0:00:56.320 P J. Bloom, the music supervisor, won the Outstanding Musical 0:00:56.320 --> 0:01:00.840 Supervision Award. And do you remember this, Jenna going to 0:01:00.960 --> 0:01:07.120 the Diversity Wards. I remember that. We want yeah, and 0:01:07.160 --> 0:01:10.800 it was one of our first awardship bonding experience to 0:01:10.840 --> 0:01:15.200 say the least. Yeah, it was interesting. Um. We went 0:01:15.240 --> 0:01:18.400 to the seventeenth Annual Diversity Awards held at the Beverly 0:01:18.440 --> 0:01:21.280 Hills Hotel and it was definitely like one of our 0:01:21.319 --> 0:01:28.119 first events altogether, and it was hilarious, just a little underproducer, Yeah, 0:01:28.280 --> 0:01:33.480 and we it was us and Ryan and we you know, 0:01:33.560 --> 0:01:36.399 and also we had been busy working and it was 0:01:36.520 --> 0:01:40.240 nice that we all got to get back together outside 0:01:40.240 --> 0:01:43.679 of work. Now the show was airing and we're getting 0:01:43.680 --> 0:01:46.720 to meet people, and I remember the cast of Heroes 0:01:46.840 --> 0:01:48.600 was there at the time, and I was very starstruck 0:01:48.680 --> 0:01:53.880 and very happy. Me too, good memory. I remember them. 0:01:54.200 --> 0:01:57.680 Also shout out to History of Glee on Twitter because 0:01:58.440 --> 0:02:03.040 they given every day it's like on this day in history. 0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:07.240 It's phenomenal. And I also would like to say that 0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:13.360 my girl Alexa on Twitter makes these incredible for picture 0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:18.200 summaries of every single episode we do on here. I 0:02:18.240 --> 0:02:22.200 love those and so look for those. I retweet them 0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:25.480 every week. Um, They're incredible. Thank you. She wants to 0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:27.240 be on the pr pay roll. I'll see what I 0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:32.320 can do. We're working on it, working on it all right. 0:02:32.760 --> 0:02:36.079 So this episode is balid and it's directed by Brad Falchuk, 0:02:36.160 --> 0:02:38.880 which I was watching it last night and I was like, 0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:42.680 who directed this? But I also feel like we weren't 0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:46.080 in a ton of it, So we were not we 0:02:46.080 --> 0:02:48.600 weren't in a ton of it. I had a line 0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:53.160 and then a song. I think I did too. Yeah, 0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:57.640 this is the beginning, Kevin of us being very expensive extras. Yes, 0:02:58.160 --> 0:03:00.720 I mean we've been expensive extras. Yeah, I mean we 0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:03.840 did have our big last episode last episode, so to 0:03:03.919 --> 0:03:06.160 be fair, it was not our turn anymore, and we 0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:11.840 have nothing to do with Baby Gates. So the there 0:03:11.919 --> 0:03:13.720 was one thing. Did you notice there's no Sue Sylvester 0:03:13.800 --> 0:03:17.000 in this episode at all? Jane had a free week. 0:03:17.080 --> 0:03:19.880 What was missing. There was a lot of music, and 0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:25.160 there were um, some great guest stars. Um, yes, the 0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:29.640 guest stars. So a brief episode summary just before we 0:03:29.639 --> 0:03:31.960 get into it. Um, So we'll split up the glee 0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:36.440 club into pairs to sing ballads. But when Matt Rutherford 0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:41.520 gets sick, Will is forced to step in, and uh 0:03:41.680 --> 0:03:44.440 he winds up in a very sticky situation with Rachel 0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:47.520 or a spicy situation if you will. Um. And then 0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:50.440 we also have the continuation of Baby Gates. So that's 0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:53.480 the That's just an overview of what we're about to 0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:56.920 get into. A lot of uncomfortableness. This episode makes me 0:03:57.000 --> 0:04:01.680 feel queasy. Yeah, it's just I feel like most of 0:04:01.680 --> 0:04:03.880 this episode is awkward, which I think is great television, 0:04:03.880 --> 0:04:06.640 but it hurts me to watch. No, it is, it's 0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:12.280 really awkward. So so Mr Shoe tells the glee Club 0:04:12.720 --> 0:04:17.400 that the Sectionals conveniently has a new rule where every 0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:22.440 team has to sing a ballad. Mm hmmm. And and 0:04:23.640 --> 0:04:27.600 when Matt Rutherford obviously is out with with with the 0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:31.840 flu um right, no, no, no, oh, no, you know 0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:36.880 what I'm thinking of the bird flu yet No, it's 0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:42.120 also Naya says this line the spider in the air, 0:04:42.520 --> 0:04:45.200 and she's she like her like laugh in the middle 0:04:45.240 --> 0:04:48.719 of it was very very real, honest, yeah, because it 0:04:48.800 --> 0:04:52.240 was like, what like, obviously this is a device just 0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:56.000 to be able to have an even number of Glee 0:04:56.040 --> 0:05:00.760 Club plus teacher, so that Rachel has to be paired 0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:04.400 up with Will, which you know, starts the whole plot 0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:08.560 point of Rachel having an uncomfortable and inappropriate crush on 0:05:08.839 --> 0:05:13.960 Mr Shoe. Um ny. It's reminiscent of Susie Pepper, who, 0:05:14.000 --> 0:05:18.000 by the way, Sarah drew amazing guest star, very funny. 0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:21.320 I thought she was the most excellent guest stars we had. 0:05:21.680 --> 0:05:24.680 She really set the tone for the episode, and this 0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:27.160 was even before she was on Gray's. So like, it's 0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:29.200 so impressive, you know, for somebody to come in where 0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:31.560 the show has not aired yet and she's coming in 0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:35.720 sort of blind and just crushes it. Absolutely incredible. She 0:05:35.880 --> 0:05:37.760 got it. But you know, you don't end up on 0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:41.840 Gray's Anatomy if you're not great and like that those storylines, 0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:46.599 is April, I mean, I'm a fan. Um so Mr. 0:05:46.640 --> 0:05:50.520 She explains what a ballot is and Brittany thinks it's 0:05:50.560 --> 0:05:54.880 a mail duck. But one of the best lines it 0:05:55.040 --> 0:05:56.680 is it's actually goes down in history is one of 0:05:56.720 --> 0:05:59.840 my favorite lines. Um. And Kevin, do you remember that 0:06:00.200 --> 0:06:03.679 in the BTS you say that every song is driving 0:06:03.680 --> 0:06:06.320 the storyline. Everybody's emotions are coming through the songs, which 0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:09.040 makes it so much more heartfelt than when you're watching it. 0:06:09.800 --> 0:06:12.719 That sounds nice. It does sound really nice. We're in 0:06:12.760 --> 0:06:15.240 a really good mood. I was, But I do agree, 0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:18.800 And I do think that's when Glee was best where 0:06:19.120 --> 0:06:21.240 when we used because it wasn't all the time, but 0:06:21.480 --> 0:06:24.240 we tried to, especially in the beginning, to use the storylines. 0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:28.320 Are the the music as part of the storyline to 0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:34.440 move the storyline, UM further, But I and this one 0:06:34.520 --> 0:06:38.159 especially because the whole you know, thesis of what the 0:06:38.400 --> 0:06:41.159 ballot is supposed to be. Um, that's also sort of 0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:44.000 the thesis of what the music is in the show itself, 0:06:44.680 --> 0:06:47.520 where the music is used to be able to say 0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:50.719 things that we can't say, um, or more effectively that 0:06:50.760 --> 0:06:55.360 we can say through song than through actually just talking. Um. 0:06:55.640 --> 0:06:58.120 I bet the ducks in the heats. Oh my god, 0:06:58.200 --> 0:07:00.479 the second part of the best line that the duck 0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:03.000 is in that. Um, and so we pick out the 0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:05.840 glue members pick out their pair out of a hat 0:07:06.160 --> 0:07:11.600 reminiscent of SmackDown, and Tina picks the other Asian, which 0:07:11.680 --> 0:07:16.760 is slightly appropriate. Um, Mercedes in Puck get matched up, 0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:21.840 Artie and Quinn, Uh, Finn and Puck and Santana and Brittany. 0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:28.600 Obviously as I noticed that. Look Diana when pigs Quinn 0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:33.720 little does she know? You guys will have a blooming storyline. 0:07:34.920 --> 0:07:38.200 Um so Matt, yeah, yeah, so we we kind of 0:07:38.200 --> 0:07:41.880 covered them that Rutherford is now. Part of the plot 0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:45.960 is that he's gone this episode. Yes, Um, we get 0:07:46.000 --> 0:07:49.840 into the ballad with Mr Shoe and Rachel because Mr 0:07:49.880 --> 0:07:51.960 Sho has to step in to be with Rachel. And 0:07:52.760 --> 0:07:56.880 this is my guest, Kevin. This song makes you uncomfortable. 0:07:57.600 --> 0:08:00.280 All of these songs make me uncomfortable, I have to 0:08:00.280 --> 0:08:03.480 say so, not because they're bad. I had to fast 0:08:03.480 --> 0:08:07.640 forward through a couple of these music. What that uncomfortable? 0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:11.640 You don't like uncomfortable humor? Um, I appreciate it, like 0:08:11.720 --> 0:08:14.480 the Comeback with Lisa Kudro, I think is the best 0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:17.400 show ever, but I had to watch it in like 0:08:17.480 --> 0:08:20.920 five minute increments because it made me so uncomfortable. Fair enough, 0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:26.120 fair enough, UM. So this is endless love and this 0:08:26.240 --> 0:08:31.920 number for me. I really enjoyed this number, UM because 0:08:31.960 --> 0:08:34.520 I like the uncomfortability of it, Like, I think it's funny. 0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:38.320 I think, um, the performances were very good. And this 0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:40.600 is when Rachel realizes that she has a crush on XR. 0:08:40.679 --> 0:08:45.840 Shoe and it is really weird. It's so weird. I 0:08:45.880 --> 0:08:50.520 really like the weirdness. Um. And then we have we 0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:56.360 have Kurt's kind of monologue over over this. The crushes 0:08:56.400 --> 0:08:59.680 are happening this episode. It's yes, all the crushes. Rachel's 0:08:59.720 --> 0:09:07.640 like hot hot teacher, Kurt's totally um excited about Finn, 0:09:07.920 --> 0:09:11.720 and Finn's not stoked about it. He's uncomfortable. He's uncomfortable. 0:09:13.120 --> 0:09:16.000 Rachel says, I never noticed this before because he's always 0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:18.280 trying to destroy my career. But Mr. Sho has really 0:09:19.160 --> 0:09:24.360 I hate it. Oh um. And then we go into 0:09:24.600 --> 0:09:29.199 the Susie Pepper of it all, where Will's confiding and 0:09:29.280 --> 0:09:31.600 Emma like, I don't know how to do this. What 0:09:31.640 --> 0:09:34.199 do we do? And then Sarah Drew comes on playing 0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:38.040 Susie Pepper and regales us with the tale of how 0:09:38.080 --> 0:09:41.840 she was obsessed with him. Would call in the middle 0:09:41.840 --> 0:09:46.400 of the night, which is so good this flashback, and 0:09:46.440 --> 0:09:48.800 then Terry picks up the phone. It was listening, little psycho, 0:09:48.880 --> 0:09:50.319 this is what his wife. And if I don't get 0:09:50.400 --> 0:09:52.440 enough sleep and my end of the presence won't work, 0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:58.080 and then I'll go crazy and I'll kill you. She's 0:09:58.120 --> 0:10:00.440 got one. She's got like two scenes in the They're 0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:07.360 incredible every time. Oh my gosh. So then Mr Shoe 0:10:07.640 --> 0:10:10.560 has to set Susie Pepper straight in this flashback, and 0:10:10.640 --> 0:10:13.480 so she decaid she's gonna eat that pepper in the world. 0:10:13.600 --> 0:10:16.920 She goes into a coma for for days, and that's 0:10:17.000 --> 0:10:20.680 when we destroys herself. Back to destroys her, Sophic isn't 0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:23.760 cut back to Will telling Emma that's why he can't 0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:29.880 break the news to Rachel. So because girls can't handle it. Yeah, 0:10:30.040 --> 0:10:35.280 which we're not we're weak right week, We're week we 0:10:35.360 --> 0:10:39.400 can't handle things only child birth. Um, so We'll has 0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:42.040 this idea. He brings Emma in to sing a song 0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:45.800 to Rachel. This is the one where it makes me 0:10:45.880 --> 0:10:50.160 very uncomfortable. But I do love don't stand so close 0:10:50.200 --> 0:10:53.600 to me and young girls like I love those songs. 0:10:54.400 --> 0:10:56.680 This mashup is incredible. Some of the masters who do 0:10:56.679 --> 0:10:59.600 in the show that don't mash well, this one does. 0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:03.679 This one absolutely does. Um again had a fast forward. 0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:10.600 I thought, um Leah was incredible in this episode, and 0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:16.319 yes I did feel her reaction to like Wise Mispiel's 0:11:16.400 --> 0:11:22.679 very here. But then also Jayma and Leah clapping at 0:11:22.800 --> 0:11:26.040 Mr Shoe at the end, it's it's very funny. I 0:11:26.040 --> 0:11:28.960 mean he went full out. He's doing a full, full 0:11:29.040 --> 0:11:31.720 number for the two of them around the piano again, 0:11:32.200 --> 0:11:33.640 back around the piano, which I feel like, if you're 0:11:33.640 --> 0:11:35.480 a student, you're like, well, this teacher is giving me 0:11:35.520 --> 0:11:43.160 a right now. He's not marking this percent really um 0:11:43.360 --> 0:11:45.240 And And the intention was that Will is going to 0:11:45.320 --> 0:11:48.520 have her listen to the song lyrics, but that didn't work. Backfire, 0:11:50.360 --> 0:11:52.320 she gets the you know she loves the song and 0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:55.439 loves that he performed for her. So then we get 0:11:55.440 --> 0:11:58.440 to see crazy Susie and Rachel in the hallway together. 0:11:58.720 --> 0:12:03.319 Jump scare, Susie's back. She's back, She's present day now, Susie. 0:12:03.400 --> 0:12:07.280 Susie's here. Um. And then even creepier, which I actually 0:12:07.280 --> 0:12:09.760 think this is really creepy, is when Rachel hands Mr 0:12:09.840 --> 0:12:12.240 Shoe the beer at home when he gets home to 0:12:12.360 --> 0:12:15.080 his house. It's so good though I thought that it 0:12:15.160 --> 0:12:19.120 turned slightly into a horror movie. And then Terry, Terry 0:12:19.160 --> 0:12:21.559 is like, well, she's a very good cook. She showed 0:12:21.640 --> 0:12:24.720 like a student shows up at your house. You knew 0:12:24.720 --> 0:12:27.160 something was going to happen. There was silence while gets home, 0:12:27.200 --> 0:12:29.600 and then all of a sudden, there's Rachel in his 0:12:29.760 --> 0:12:36.040 home cooking meals. Weird. It's a little inappropriate. I mean 0:12:36.040 --> 0:12:40.360 it's a lot of inappropriate, but it's inappropriate. But Terry 0:12:40.840 --> 0:12:43.120 is like happy that she's there because she's cleaning and cooking. 0:12:43.440 --> 0:12:47.520 She let her in, you know. And then she said 0:12:47.760 --> 0:12:50.520 Terry needs the help because of her baby. And then 0:12:50.520 --> 0:12:53.520 Will tries to find out what's happening with the belly 0:12:53.600 --> 0:12:57.080 and she freaks out and runs away with her postules 0:12:57.080 --> 0:13:04.160 her like bloody postules or whatever pus do. Um. So 0:13:04.200 --> 0:13:08.360 then Mr she takes Rachel I left. How this was 0:13:08.360 --> 0:13:11.360 a shot. I think it's beautifully shot. It is. We 0:13:11.400 --> 0:13:12.719 don't see a lot of We're not in a lot 0:13:12.720 --> 0:13:14.800 of cars in Glee. I mean we are, but not 0:13:14.840 --> 0:13:18.520 a lot of moving cars. And um, just like Rachel 0:13:18.600 --> 0:13:20.200 sitting in the back of the car by the way, 0:13:21.679 --> 0:13:24.560 like a like a like a little little girl sitting 0:13:24.559 --> 0:13:27.120 in the back of the car um and then singing 0:13:27.120 --> 0:13:31.679 a song, which like, it's an interesting way to do 0:13:31.720 --> 0:13:34.320 a song. Ugly. I mean, there are really no rules 0:13:34.640 --> 0:13:38.600 which we've learned, but to not for it to not 0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:41.319 be a dream sequence or or a glee club performance. 0:13:41.360 --> 0:13:43.840 But her just like hitting a cassette in the car 0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:47.960 um it works for her character though it does it 0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:50.240 does work for the character. It's also funny that he 0:13:50.280 --> 0:13:53.679 just cuts her off. I love I do love that. 0:13:53.760 --> 0:13:56.480 I remember hearing that this song was going to be 0:13:56.520 --> 0:13:59.440 in this episode, and I didn't think I was very excited. 0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:02.559 I liked that they were, you know, pulling up some 0:14:03.280 --> 0:14:06.240 pop hits from the past and this is crush, Sorry, 0:14:06.679 --> 0:14:09.839 this is crush. Who's saying crush? Jennifer Page saying crush 0:14:10.559 --> 0:14:18.560 uh smash hit. It was a smash. Yeah. I'm also 0:14:18.679 --> 0:14:22.920 enjoying at this point, we're a good portion into the 0:14:22.960 --> 0:14:28.520 first season and you know, Lea's singing pop songs like 0:14:28.560 --> 0:14:32.080 we're all getting I think used to seeing different genres 0:14:32.080 --> 0:14:34.960 and it was just fun to get to see everyone's 0:14:34.960 --> 0:14:37.520 seeing different genres that they were used to. Yeah, we're 0:14:37.960 --> 0:14:42.440 branching out for sure. Um. I I love the Susie 0:14:42.480 --> 0:14:49.120 and Rachel stuff. Um it's like crazy meeting crazy and 0:14:49.280 --> 0:14:51.760 we're going to see a lot of conversations in the 0:14:51.800 --> 0:14:54.840 show and do I'm just curious why they end up 0:14:54.840 --> 0:14:57.680 in the bathroom all the time. I mean it's I 0:14:57.720 --> 0:15:00.560 think and all high school shows the bathroom as where 0:15:00.600 --> 0:15:03.880 a lot of these secret, more important conversation is the 0:15:03.880 --> 0:15:06.600 place to hide. Hey, it's like a it's a teenage 0:15:06.640 --> 0:15:09.040 place to hide. Also, it's like we sort of we 0:15:10.000 --> 0:15:12.320 didn't talk about at this point Rachel. Rachel has not 0:15:12.360 --> 0:15:15.600 only gone to his home, she's given him a tie 0:15:15.720 --> 0:15:19.760 to where, which sparks this whole thing where I want 0:15:19.800 --> 0:15:22.120 you to think of it every time I think of me, 0:15:22.160 --> 0:15:24.640 every time you wear it, and it's like, oh, this 0:15:24.720 --> 0:15:27.600 is so wrong and creepy. And then Susane is like, 0:15:27.760 --> 0:15:31.120 get it together, girl. But here's the thing, like we've 0:15:31.160 --> 0:15:35.240 all had crushes on teachers before, and we've all acted inappropriately, 0:15:36.440 --> 0:15:41.520 not all of us. Jenna, I wish I had a 0:15:41.520 --> 0:15:44.280 hot teacher. We definitely had some hot teachers, and we 0:15:44.280 --> 0:15:47.120 also had um, some hot women teachers. And I knew, 0:15:47.160 --> 0:15:49.320 like all the guys kind of like we're doing an 0:15:49.360 --> 0:15:53.680 eye over. So I don't think this is super far fetch. 0:15:53.760 --> 0:15:58.200 It's just that how far you're willing to cross that line? Right? 0:15:58.760 --> 0:16:02.440 I'm sure there's a lot of young teachers that, um, 0:16:02.480 --> 0:16:04.520 you know, people had like they were like, okay, my 0:16:04.600 --> 0:16:17.000 kid had this girl definitely has a proct you know. Okay. 0:16:17.000 --> 0:16:19.840 So Susy confronts Rachel in the bathroom and she tells 0:16:19.840 --> 0:16:23.120 her to get that mildly attractive group back. She's like, 0:16:23.200 --> 0:16:26.760 get yourself, you know, smack across the face, find some 0:16:26.800 --> 0:16:30.720 self respect, and get yourself that that semi groove back. 0:16:31.280 --> 0:16:35.680 So Rachel, Um, Rachel's going to kind of like kick 0:16:35.760 --> 0:16:38.160 it back up again, and um, she brings him a 0:16:38.200 --> 0:16:41.360 flower for for an apology, which is that sorry for 0:16:41.440 --> 0:16:51.280 being crazy, and and then and she's like, I know, yeah, 0:16:51.320 --> 0:16:53.600 He's like, this is inappropriate. They were both kind of 0:16:55.000 --> 0:16:58.040 this conversation was about to happen from both ends, but 0:16:58.120 --> 0:17:00.360 it ended up being a couple in all five at 0:17:00.360 --> 0:17:04.159 the end of the day. Um, so that's the that's 0:17:04.280 --> 0:17:07.040 that's the crush. That's a big part of the episode. 0:17:07.040 --> 0:17:09.879 But that's like the big crush storyline. I also think 0:17:09.920 --> 0:17:12.520 we should like maybe started tally. This is Rachel's third 0:17:12.560 --> 0:17:19.199 crush again though it definitely racks up. But yes, it 0:17:19.320 --> 0:17:21.520 is high school. A good gust of wind will give 0:17:21.520 --> 0:17:25.879 you a different crush. And everybody it's trendy. You know 0:17:26.240 --> 0:17:28.520 who's the trendy guy at that time or the teacher 0:17:28.560 --> 0:17:32.920 whatever our person right um here, and then we're into 0:17:33.040 --> 0:17:36.480 like a big part of Baby Gate. This is a big, 0:17:36.680 --> 0:17:41.440 most serious part of Baby Gates. We meet Quinn's mom 0:17:42.520 --> 0:17:47.399 for the first time. Um, Quinn is getting ready for 0:17:47.440 --> 0:17:51.159 the chastity ball. Quinn's parents played by the incredible Greg 0:17:51.160 --> 0:17:56.320 Henry and Charlotte Ross and Greg Henry. Um is the 0:17:56.320 --> 0:18:00.840 most serious for me from Scandal. After this, that's what 0:18:00.960 --> 0:18:06.160 it is. I was like, I know this man, he's 0:18:06.280 --> 0:18:11.320 so infuriating on the show, so good that he did 0:18:11.359 --> 0:18:16.760 his job. He definitely did his job. Yes, So we 0:18:16.840 --> 0:18:20.679 have Mr and Mrs for Bray and um Quinn decides 0:18:20.720 --> 0:18:25.040 that she's going to have Stan over for dinner and um. 0:18:25.040 --> 0:18:27.600 But going back to the chastity ball, she's trying on 0:18:27.640 --> 0:18:30.000 her dress alone with her mom with the chastity ball, 0:18:30.920 --> 0:18:33.879 and it's getting tighter. This is reminiscent of me with 0:18:34.160 --> 0:18:37.040 RuPaul's drag race putting on my costumes. And it was 0:18:37.119 --> 0:18:42.000 definitely getting tighter. But you were not right and I 0:18:42.040 --> 0:18:46.720 wasn't as far along. Um and and this is where 0:18:46.720 --> 0:18:49.160 we realized that the mom kind of knows, Judy kind 0:18:49.160 --> 0:18:53.320 of knows. But oh, Mr for Bray um invites Finn 0:18:53.359 --> 0:18:55.240 over because he wants to meet in so he has 0:18:55.320 --> 0:19:00.320 him up for dinner, um and and then and you 0:19:00.359 --> 0:19:05.280 also their relationship where Mr. Fher Bray comes in and 0:19:05.680 --> 0:19:07.560 you know they're going to go get pour themselves another 0:19:07.640 --> 0:19:10.240 drink and Mrs Bray is like, I don't want to 0:19:10.480 --> 0:19:12.479 think it from me. I'm your wife, and so you 0:19:12.560 --> 0:19:17.760 see the dynamic and it's all stacking up to be 0:19:17.840 --> 0:19:20.639 a little difficult if she's going to be a teen mother, 0:19:21.960 --> 0:19:26.159 right right, right right, So then we pop over to 0:19:28.240 --> 0:19:31.480 Kurt and Finn who are paired together for the ballade, 0:19:32.000 --> 0:19:36.400 and they're practicing in the auditorium and Finn is um stressed. 0:19:36.480 --> 0:19:38.639 So Kurt, this is where we see the beginnings of 0:19:38.720 --> 0:19:40.919 Kurt and Finn. Yeah, and we're going to start to 0:19:40.920 --> 0:19:44.679 see the dynamic of you know, them becoming family and 0:19:44.760 --> 0:19:48.159 also Kurt having a crush on Fin and all the things. 0:19:48.240 --> 0:19:51.359 But he is stressed, Finn stressed over the baby, and 0:19:51.440 --> 0:19:53.800 so Kurt is going to guide him and have him 0:19:53.800 --> 0:19:55.919 saying I'll stand by you. With his motive, you have 0:19:56.040 --> 0:20:01.320 to pass forward this I did. I okay, I can't 0:20:02.760 --> 0:20:07.720 watch Corey sing I'll stand by you. It's I not 0:20:07.840 --> 0:20:12.440 because it's awkward, it's just too emotional. I got emotional 0:20:12.440 --> 0:20:15.640 as well. Yeah maybe I should have, maybe it would 0:20:15.640 --> 0:20:19.840 have been healthy, but I was not emotionally prepared to 0:20:19.840 --> 0:20:22.840 do it. Um. That's also when I lost it when 0:20:22.840 --> 0:20:26.040 we did the quarterback was during that number. It's just like, 0:20:26.160 --> 0:20:30.880 to me, that was his first mm hmm, big solo 0:20:31.600 --> 0:20:34.800 m hm, and he sounds so good on it and 0:20:34.880 --> 0:20:41.560 the storyline, UM was devastating, and in this episode it's 0:20:41.560 --> 0:20:46.240 really sweet and yeah, I can't, I can't do it. Yeah, 0:20:46.560 --> 0:20:49.399 I mean as crazy as the storyline is getting the 0:20:49.400 --> 0:20:52.080 baby gate like he is the grounding force in all 0:20:52.240 --> 0:20:55.040 the baby gates, I think. And he's just phenomenal in 0:20:55.119 --> 0:20:59.639 this episode. Um, well, I stand my, I'll stand my 0:20:59.840 --> 0:21:02.560 is really great. He does sound really good. He also 0:21:02.640 --> 0:21:08.600 does sing to the Sonic, which is so weird and 0:21:08.680 --> 0:21:12.720 yet somehow it works, like I totally believe it and 0:21:12.760 --> 0:21:16.400 I thought it was weird and cute. Um, but this 0:21:16.520 --> 0:21:20.879 is the obviously the moment where Vin's mom Romi she's 0:21:21.440 --> 0:21:25.840 one of my favorites and he she catches them and 0:21:26.080 --> 0:21:28.280 he's upset and she said, she doesn't even have to 0:21:28.880 --> 0:21:31.520 you know ask, Well she does, but you know she knows. 0:21:31.640 --> 0:21:35.720 I love the relationship. Is Quinn pregnant and the moment 0:21:35.800 --> 0:21:39.720 that Romy cries but doesn't cry when she hugs him 0:21:39.960 --> 0:21:47.400 is heartbreaking. It actually breaks me. It breaks me every time. 0:21:47.440 --> 0:21:50.080 And her in her Canadian text, you know it makes 0:21:50.080 --> 0:21:53.960 sense also knowing Romi in real life, because I feel 0:21:53.960 --> 0:21:56.639 like she is so like her emotions are always just 0:21:56.800 --> 0:22:00.880 right there, like she's happy. She said, she's like she'll 0:22:00.880 --> 0:22:04.639 give you everything. She's not. It's just she's an open book. Yeah, 0:22:04.760 --> 0:22:09.200 and you see why she's such a good actor, I 0:22:09.280 --> 0:22:10.960 feel like, you know, and moments like that, we're like, 0:22:10.960 --> 0:22:13.520 oh god, you're almost crying, and it's worse than if 0:22:13.520 --> 0:22:16.359 you were crying. It's like the teeter of the is 0:22:16.400 --> 0:22:19.440 she or isn't she? That gets you because you're on it, 0:22:19.560 --> 0:22:23.399 the uncertainty. So did you notice, Kevin that a fan 0:22:23.560 --> 0:22:26.400 actually um wrote in and told us that when Kurt 0:22:26.520 --> 0:22:29.440 is playing the piano, they playing the piano. By the way, 0:22:29.720 --> 0:22:33.879 he's wearing a light tan pants. And then when they 0:22:33.880 --> 0:22:36.040 do a close up of his hands, the pants have 0:22:36.119 --> 0:22:40.760 changed because it wasn't Chris's hands, um d and whomever 0:22:40.840 --> 0:22:44.159 was the stand in was wearing jeans. Weird. That's a 0:22:44.200 --> 0:22:48.200 good one. But do you think normally they would have 0:22:49.080 --> 0:22:51.679 put him in pants, the stand in in pants, but 0:22:51.720 --> 0:22:55.159 they must have said on camera. They must have said like, no, 0:22:55.200 --> 0:22:58.159 we're not going to see it, you know, Um, he 0:22:58.240 --> 0:23:00.440 doesn't have to change. So then the next that happens 0:23:00.480 --> 0:23:04.480 is Quinn has piste that Finn has told his mom 0:23:04.520 --> 0:23:07.600 because she doesn't want her parents finding out and is 0:23:07.640 --> 0:23:11.680 worried that Carol is going to wrap her out right, 0:23:11.920 --> 0:23:15.280 which like, my mom is going to tell your mom right? 0:23:16.440 --> 0:23:19.320 Fair enough? And then there's this whole thing with Kurt 0:23:20.400 --> 0:23:26.240 thinking that he's setting Finn up um for the to lose, 0:23:26.320 --> 0:23:29.160 basically because whatever he's going to do is not going 0:23:29.200 --> 0:23:31.919 to work. And then Finn will see how girls are 0:23:31.920 --> 0:23:35.879 stupid and a waste of time, and then right, you know, 0:23:35.960 --> 0:23:38.480 it's it's not through us like a sixteen or fifteen 0:23:38.520 --> 0:23:42.199 year old might have thought this through um. Kurt's voice over, 0:23:42.280 --> 0:23:43.600 by the way, where I don't know why I find 0:23:43.640 --> 0:23:45.960 his stupidity charming. I mean, he's cheating off a girl 0:23:45.960 --> 0:23:50.040 who thinks the square root of four is rainbows. I 0:23:50.080 --> 0:23:55.640 mean it's Kurt's voiceovers really make this episode. I think 0:23:55.640 --> 0:23:59.200 it's next. The next scene is Kurt and Finn picking 0:23:59.200 --> 0:24:01.879 out an outfit in the basement for him to go 0:24:01.920 --> 0:24:07.639 over and meet the parents. And it's really sweet because 0:24:07.640 --> 0:24:11.600 they talk about their parents. I think it's sweet. Yeah, 0:24:12.240 --> 0:24:16.360 God didn't hear that, because that was the thing we'd 0:24:16.400 --> 0:24:19.240 always say, because he likes sweet. Yeah, I think the 0:24:19.280 --> 0:24:24.760 swiling is sweet, but sweet, yes, Um. You hear them 0:24:24.800 --> 0:24:29.800 talking about their single parents together and they have this 0:24:29.880 --> 0:24:36.639 deeper understanding of them keeping keepsakes and meaningful things about um. 0:24:36.680 --> 0:24:39.520 Their other parents are no longer with them, and it's 0:24:39.520 --> 0:24:42.160 a really nice you know, and amongst all this hilarity 0:24:42.280 --> 0:24:47.119 and absurdity again this grounding moment of setting up, like 0:24:47.119 --> 0:24:51.719 you said earlier, for the future of um Bert and Carol. 0:24:52.400 --> 0:24:55.879 Mm hmm. And then kurts like, you know what you 0:24:55.920 --> 0:24:58.960 should do, use your voice when you go over there, 0:25:00.520 --> 0:25:04.000 sing to them, because that's gonna work. See, that's awkward. 0:25:04.080 --> 0:25:07.200 The situation is awkward. That's what makes me uncomfortable. I've 0:25:07.240 --> 0:25:12.040 been dreading this scene for weeks. But here we go. 0:25:12.119 --> 0:25:14.520 I actually went and visited them because they're The house 0:25:14.560 --> 0:25:16.840 that they shot this in was close to where I 0:25:16.880 --> 0:25:18.800 was living, and so I went over and I think 0:25:18.800 --> 0:25:21.480 I visited them on that wasn't a set, that wasn't built. 0:25:22.080 --> 0:25:24.399 It was a real house. I think it was a 0:25:24.480 --> 0:25:26.359 real house. It makes sense. I mean it was big, 0:25:26.560 --> 0:25:31.280 so that makes sense. I'm pretty sure. I don't know. 0:25:31.560 --> 0:25:34.520 I don't Maybe I'm wrong. No, I believe you. Um 0:25:35.359 --> 0:25:41.600
