Glee: The sad episode

Every week, TvGuide.com puts together a list of the best moments on television from the past week. This week's No. 1 came from Wednesday's Glee, and it is explained below. Following that you will find a few more bullets of important information from the episode.

1. Squishiest Reveal: Glee showed us a softer side of Sue Sylvester this week. When forced to hold open auditions for the Cheerios, Sue selects Becky, a student with Down Syndrome, for the squad — much to the befuddlement of everyone. The principal tells Will that Sue has paid to install wheelchair-access ramps at the school. And at the episode's close, we meet Sue's mentally disabled sister, and for the first time, we see compassion flow like honey from McKinley High's torturer-in-chief.

- The school cannot afford to pay for a wheelchair accessible bus for Artie to ride in to sectionals. When Will goes to the club and asks them to raise the money, they all say Artie doesn't mind driving with his dad, which hurts Artie's feelings because he wants to be part of the team. As a way to give them perspective, Will makes the club spend time in wheelchairs. They have a hard time adjusting and gain a new respect for Artie. The club also holds a bake sale to raise money. While at first unsuccessful, Puck steps in and bakes cupcakes with drugs in them. The new cupcakes are sold quickly and the club makes tons of money.
- Quinn and Finn need money for her medical expenses and other baby necessities, so she is pushing Finn to prove he is a real man who can support his family. Thus, Finn spends much of the episode looking for a job, but with no success. (Until the end when he gets a job only because he pretends to be in a wheelchair and cites discrimination.) In the episode, we also see Quinn and Puck interact more than once, which makes it clear that they have strong feelings for one another. Puck and Finn even fight because Puck thinks Finn doesn't deserve Quinn. Puck tries repeatedly to prove he would be a great father so that Quinn will take him back. But by the end of the episode, Quinn is still with Finn.
- When Will announces that the glee club will be performing a song from Wicked at sectionals, he immediately tells Rachel she can be the lead. But the song is a personal favorite of Kurt's and he demands an opportunity to audition for the part. Kurt's father even gets involved, citing discrimination, so Will has to allow him the chance. The two perform in front of the club and the others vote on who should get to sing it. Kurt doesn't hit a high note he must to sing the song, so Rachel gets the lead. Later, Kurt opens up to his dad and tells him he purposely blew the audition because he is trying to make it easier for him, since Kurt's homosexuality has begun affecting his family.
- Also, Tina and Artie begin a romantic relationship, but then Tina opens up about how she fakes her stutter and Artie pulls away because they no longer have a disability in common.

This episode was oddly sentimental and heartwarming. It was great to see a different side of some of the characters. I hope Sue continues to have a heart, I hope Puck continues to show he is a good guy, I hope Rachel and Finn stop ignoring their feelings, I hope we continue to get glimpses into the characters who are sometimes overlooked on the show, including Artie and Tina, etcetera. Agreed?
