Here's what you missed on Glee.
Kurt's in New York where he's rooming with Rachel...
and planning to interview for Vogue.com.
Rachel's friend Brody totally wants to date her,
but she's still confused about Finn, and Finn's still in the army and nobody's heard from him.
Glee! Back at McKinley,
Mr. Schue's flying to repeat a win at nationals...
by repeating assignments from last year.
- Are we doing Britney Week again? - That's great.
And Sam's new blond besties with Brittany,
who didn't graduate and thinks she's still president,
e van though all she accomplished last' year was a dinosaur prom.
That's what you missed on Glee.

What do you think you're doing, Blaine Warbler?
I'm running for president.
[ Kurt] I've spent the entire weekend trying to choose the absolute perfect outfit...
because I've snagged an interview at-
drumroll, please-
Hi, I'm Kurt Hummel.
Vogue.com.
Yes, it's just for an internship,
but I haven't been this nervous since I auditioned for NYADA,
and we all know how that turned out.
I'm meeting with the new senior editor...
and designer extraordinaire, Isabelle Wright.
And her stellar reputation precedes her.
She's a style maverick.
She double-majored in fashion design and dead romance languages.
- An iconoclast. - Rumor has it...
she gave Steve Jobs his first black turtleneck.
She's Vogue is rogue.
Ms. Wright will see you now.
[ Knocking ]
Hello?
Columbus.
- Excuse me? - You're from Lima. I'm from Columbus.
And actually, I once got food poisoning in Lima at some Italian place.
It was Bread-
- Stix? - Breadstix, yes.
I can't believe you ate at Breadstix.
Well, I wish I hadn't. Isabelle Wright.
Kurt Hummel. So, Mr. Hummel,
I have to tell you, I am very impressed with your online résumé,
especially this gallery of you...
and your rather bold clothing choices.
Where did you find all this? Well, I-l made most of them,
and searched the Internet for bargains.
And, uh, that half-sweater there at the bottom,
that belonged to my dead aunt, and I found it in her attic.
And the embroidered calico vest was actually inspired by one of your designs.
Oh, yes,
my quilted microskirt collection.
It was an epic fail.
But like you said in Vanity Fair;
“I don't trust anyone who hasn't failed big at least once.”
Have a seat.
So, I'm just gonna ask you a couple of routine questions I ask all potential hires.
Who are your fashion icons?
Audrey Hepburn,
Michelle Obama,
and not to kiss up or anything,
but... you.
[ Chuckles ]
And have you done any writing on fashion?
Self-journaling, mostly.
I did weekly updates and, um, blogs on Project Runway since season one, and-
Wave your magic wand, where would you be in four years?
Working here part-time,
graduating from NYADA and,uh,
starting my first Broadway show.
I know that sounds presumptuous.
No.
Frankly, you should be more presumptuous, you know.
This is New York. It's for dreamers.
It's for people like you, who are just starting out,
and people like me who...
very much want to reinvent themselves.
No, you should dream. You should dream very, very big.
And then you should work incredibly hard...
and make sure you do everything in your power to make it happen.
Look, Anna hired me because she said...
that the Web sites that I designed for my collections were inspired.
So neither myself nor my team can let her down.
And that includes you.
- Me? - Well, listen, my friend,
anybody who can pull off a hippo brooch deserves to be here.
So welcome to Vogue.com.
Thank you. Thank you so-
You're very welcome.
Oh, you're very welcome. [ Chuckles ]
It's okay. it's okay.
That should come with a warning. Oh, it did.
Psst, Artie, can I talk to you for a second? Yeah.
Okay, so I'm running for senior class president again,
and I want you to be my V.P.
Being vice presidential pick of McKinley High's first two-term president...
would look really good on your college resume.
I have a 4.0 G.P.A.,
and I scored a 210 on my practice S.A.T.,
and I was the only handi-capable member...
of a national championship glee club.
I'm not really worried about getting into college.
I know how people like you are afraid of the spotlight sometimes,
but did you know that Franklin Roosevelt was part robot too,
and he's on Mount Rushmore? No, he isn't.
And I'm just gonna say it again,
I'm not part robot.
I realize that I didn't do much as president last year,
and if you help me win again this year,
I promise to do exactly the same thing, which means...
I'll be president, and you can make all the boring decisions.
So I could be Cheney to your Bush.
I'd rather be landing strip.
I mean, it's no secret that a woman loves a man in power,
and don't take this personally,
but before I graduate, I would like to have a relationship...
that lasts longer than a couple weeks.
Why would I take that personally?
You and I dated. We did?
Look, you've got yourself a deal.
Cool. [School Bell Rings]
Okay, as you all know, as national champions,
we get to host the annual Show Choir Rules Committee meeting.
Please tell me you're gonna ask what one-third vintage meant last year?
Or, like, why some teams get to sing six songs and other ones only do one?
[Jake] Speaking of competitions,
shouldn't we start, like, preparing for ours?
I have some ideas which I am working on very hard.
Um-
Well, I don't really want to give anything away right now-
[ Thinking] I have no ideas. I'm tapped out.
I spent all last weekend trying to think of something for us to perform,
and all I came up with was a scat version of Carmina Burana.
Excuse me. Yes, go ahead.
I'm not sure if what you were saying was actually important, 'cause I wasn't listening,
but I'd like to make an announcement.
First, I'd like to know if anyone can prove that Blaine was actually born in this country.
Second,
I'm wrapping up the election...
by selecting Artie as my running mate.
Ah! All right.
I think by bridging the human/robot divide,
we'll ensure that both students and vending machines will be voting for us.
- Still not a robot. - That's not fair. This isn't a popularity contest.
It's about who's got the best ideas.
It's about believing you can make a change, right?
What is that taste in my-
Is that sour grape?
- [School Bell Rings] - Brittany.
Hey, butt-chin. Hey, Sue.
I'm making a list of potential themes...
for our set list at sectionals,
and right now I can't decide between classic TV theme songs...
or a salute to autumn.
William, those are terrible.
I don't know what's wrong with me.
What happened to all my good ideas?
Oh, don't kid yourself. You never had any good ideas.
You just didn't notice 'cause you were too busy...
chasing your bizarre childhood dream...
of a glee club national championship.
And now that that's over, well, you're waking up...
to the incessant mind-numbing tedium...
that is the day-to-day life of a schoolteacher.
Take a look around you, William,
at this sad panoply of walking human garbage.
This is what you have to look forward to.
In a few short years,
you'll either be an alcoholic,
morbidly obese,
or both.
That's what I like to call the full Charlotte Rae.
Personally, William, I think you should take this opportunity...
to bow out gracefully and explore other job opportunities.
Now, your penchant for bland, simplistic aphorisms...
could give you a leg up in the motivational hot-air balloon poster business,
and, of course, your complete lack of adult friends...
means you're well on your way to a career as a pedophile birthday clown.
But I love my job. William, you had a dream.
You achieved it. Now move on.
Otherwise, you'll end up like that.
Quietly smirking because you just did a little crop-dusting.
Oh, and now you're enjoying the sneaky tickle of your own stink...
as it ripples up your enormous, soupy butt crack.
[School Bell Rings]
Hey, why didn't you ask me to be your running mate?
I'm, like, the perfect candidate.
Well, I didn't want it to ruin our friendship.
I mean, look at Sarah Palin.
She and her grandfather, they were super close,
and then he asked her to be his running mate,
and they lost, and now they're not even speaking.
But I do think you'd be a great vice president,
so I'm going to help you out.
Come here. Blaine Warbler.
I'd like to introduce you to Sam Evans.
Um, we've actually met several times.
He's your candidate for vice president.
Uh, no. I'm picking my own running mate.
My family's on food stamps, so that will get you the sympathy vote.
I'm not gay, so that'll help with the not-gay vote,
and, you know, I don't want to brag, but-
[ imitates George W. Bush ] My impressions are hilarious 100% of the time.
- George Bush, come on. - Okay, sure.
Awesome.
First order of business,
Artie and I challenge you and Sam to a debate.
You're on.
[Whispering ] What's a debate?
I think it's time we tackle something...
that we have been avoiding for far too long,
and I think you all know exactly what I'm talking about.

Leather.
Leather, but in unexpected ways.
Pitch me.
Okay, it's coming to me.
It's coming to me. It's Italy.
Salo, 1944.
Belts as punishment. Belts as reward.
“You can't have a belt! You- Put a belt on!”
it's faux-fascist.
Pair it with a chunky boot.
Okay, belts were two years ago,
and chunky boots were five years ago.
While we're on the topic of the verboten,
I would beg all of you to please, please not offer up a leather platform.
Chase, you know I love you, and I- and I love...
that you're filled with so much passion,
so I'm definite- I'm going to-
I'll keep thinking about it, of course.
Okay-
Um... Daphne.
Leather socks. Suede underpants.

Daphne, did you go off your meds again?
Yes.
Then I want you to stay off,
because that... is sick.
I mean good sick. That's the-
That's the kind of sick I want you to be.
You know, that's exactly what I'm talking about, everybody.
I don't want any rules- Just toss them.
You know, let's think out of the box.
Or... maybe... I don't know.
Maybe that's- Maybe that's too far out of the box. Okay, why don't we do this?
Let's, uh- We'll-
We're going to take a- a little break,
and then we will-
we'll revisit the topic of leather, okay?
Kurt, can I- Can I see you in my office?
So, what did you think of the ideas in there?
Fascinating.
I hated them.
Look, I-l know I'm just an intern,
but I feel like “unexpected leather”...
should be in the back pages of The Village Voice.
No, I know. I agree. But Mand-
Mandy, you know, the receptionist,
every time I walk by her, she suggests...
that I do an article on trends in animal hide.
And then her cat died. Did you know her cat died?
So, what am I gonna say? No?
So now I'm stuck with leather. No, you're not.
There are a million different ideas.
Uh, we could do a music video that pays tribute...
to the most cutting-edge fashion, right?
Well, I told Chase Madison that I would do his piece...
on Spanx for cankles, “Spankles.”
Oh, God. I'm an artist, not a manager.
L- I can't say no to anybody. I can't bear it.
You know, I'm- I'm used to knocking on doors, not bolting them shut.
Back in the day, if I had an idea- a crazy idea-
I knew if it was good based on my instinct.
And now crazy ideas just seem crazy to me.
You know, like, uh, uh, uh, high-heeled galoshes or, um-
Equestrian underwear? What?
And I can't- I can't land anything.
I just feel like I lucked...
into a job that I don't deserve, and I-
Honestly, I-I-l- I have no idea what I'm doing.
My collection was a failure. I can't fail at this.
And I just rented a one-bedroom apartment in Midtown so I could walk to work.
But now I'm not gonna have a job to walk to or an apartment to walk from.
I'm going to be homeless.

You are not gonna be homeless.
All right? You can always come stay...

of Jacob Ben Israel's latest presidential poll.
Mm-hmm. The good news is 90% of the respondents said...
they're planning on attending Friday's debate.
That's cool. So what's the bad news?
Ninety percent of those respondents said they were coming to hear you...
say something s-stup-
They think I'm gonna say something stupid.
But, see, you're not stupid. You're really creative.
Your brain exists in this magical other dimension where anything is possible.
It's really amazing.
We just need to focus on a little preparation.
If I'm gonna be completely honest,
I'm a little worried that my picking you as a running mate...
is going to seem like a desperate grab for the straight vote...
if you don't really look like a serious candidate, you know?
[ Imitates John Wayne ] What do you mean, pilgrim?
Was that John Wayne? Yeah. I panicked.
Okay, listen. When's your next free period?

Brittany S. Pierce, how do you react...
to the characterization of your first term in office...
as one in which you didn't do anything at all until prom?
I would describe that as entirely accurate.
Okay-
Test scores at McKinley have gone down...
six percent every year for the past decade.
What would you do to fix the problem? Stop giving tests.

This is what I've always wanted.
I won nationals.
I'm-I'm in charge of this committee. But it feels so meaningless.

Oh, this is pointless!

- But my glee club lost its funding. - Oh, my God.
VVhat? We're done. We can't even complete the season.
I know that everybody likes to make fun of the deaf choir,
but my kids have a song in their heart.
They're not going to be able to sing it.

It's the only thing that brings me any happiness,
besides my extreme couponing and muscle relaxers.
I'm so sorry. ls there anything we can do? Yeah.
You can watch your back, because you're next.
We're all dead. The money for the arts has dried up.
What we need is representation on that blue-ribbon government panel...
to get arts back in the schools.
- There was a huge debate over that in Congress. - Oh, they don't care about us.
They don't want to have anything to do with show choir directors.
They want bigwigs like Meryl Streep or Demi Lovato.
Maybe they'll take a show choir director who just won nationals...
and wants to make a difference in this world.
Go for it. [ Rumba] Highly unlikely.
I'm going to have a shame Triscuit.
I don't care if I have to spend all night on the potty.
Yeah, I swear. It was like a deleted scene fro m The Exorcist. - -
that was cut because it was actually too scary.
How chilling. And then I tried-
I tried to be, like, nice and, you know, smile,
but then the Black Swan said to me-
I didn't know Lena Dunham was joining us today.
- I'm sorry, but did I do something to offend you? - Your outfit did.

Because you're still dressing exactly the same.

And Rachel looks so gorgeous,

But, I mean, she's already committed to so many other concepts that-
No, Kurt, of course she's gonna choose yours. She's gonna pick yours.

It's a way for us to take an active role in our own education.
Study after study shows that an active student body is a successful student body.

Simple as that. In fact,
I think that everyone should love this school as much as I do.
If you elect me as president,
I promise to outlaw summer vacation,
so we'll have school all year round.
That means we'll spend every day of every summer indoors with all our friends,
in McKinley High School's award-winning air-conditioning.
Also, I promise to end...
McKinley High School's policy of having weekends.
If you make me your president,
Saturday and Sunday will be illegal,
so that Monday will come right after Friday,
which is the funnest day anyways.
Vote Brittany and Artie. Thank you so much.
[Applauding ] We just lost the election.
Hey, Kurt, can I see you for a minute?
You might want to sit down for this.
I saw your video, and I forwarded it to Anna.
Am I fired?
That is the first time that I've heard “great” from Anna.
I am gonna print that and frame it.
Does-Does this mean...
they're gonna put the video on the Web site? Sort of.
We're gonna reshoot the whole thing in Bali with Karolina Kurkova,
but you're getting credit for the idea.
Oh, my- Oh, thank you. Thank you so much.
Thank you. And thank you so much for helping out with Rachel.
She went home that night and threw away her reindeer sweater,
which is a huge deal for her.
Ah, she already seems so much more confident, you know.
It's so funny how a new image can change everything.
Oh-
I sure hope you never lose that.
What?
Oh, just your...
unbridled, wide-eyed Lima, Ohio, optimism.
You know, I had an instinct about you, Kurt Hummel,
and so far, it's proven to be correct.
I feel like we're real kindred spirits, don't you?
I agree. Can I please just say that...
I think you're the best-dressed fairy godmother a boy like me could ever have?
Well, then, can your fairy godmother...
give you a little bit of advice?
You have quite the aptitude for fashion.
And I know it's your dream to go to NYADA,
but sometimes dreams can change,
and I really would not be surprised if someday...
every A-lister in this town was fighting for one of your designs.
So which “leather” pitch are we running with?
Oh, actually, you know what? We're gonna toss the whole thing and start from scratch.
We're gonna meet here in two hours.
Oh, and, um, Kurt will be joining us.
I'm famished. Let's go to Indochine.
Wow.
[ Chuckles ]
You look incredible.
They say that you haven't settled into New York City...
until you've had your first makeover.
Mine took six months.
Oh, really? Like you need a makeover?
Every girl in school wants to date you.
True. [ Giggles ]
But four years ago,
I was a scrawny kid from backwater Montana,
with a bad haircut and a unibrow.
And seniors took me under their wing,
introduced me to a waxist and the gym,
and they changed my life. Yeah.
It's pretty amazing what a good makeover can do.
It's like you change the outside,
and then the inside just... follows.
I think it's the other way around.
I think now your outside has caught up to how you feel about yourself.
Hmm.
I like that.
I like you.
So what are you working on?
Just a new number. I like to do something every day,
just to keep my machine well-oiled.
Oh, me too.
I love that song. [ Chuckles ]
Do you, uh, want to sing it with me?

Attention, students.
Your record-low election votes have been tallied,
and we have a winner.
Becky, can I get a xylophone flourish?
No? Not feeling it?
Okay-
This year's student council president is-
[All Cheering, Shouting ]
[ Sugar] Make some noise! We know him!
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Great job!
Congratulations, Mr. President. Thank you, Artie.
Losing the bow tie, that was your game changer. Kudos. No hard feelings?
Maybe I can find a place for you in my administration.
No, thanks. I got what I needed.
Sugar asked me out on a date.
She invited me horseback riding.
I'm just hoping it doesn't involve being towed.
You talk to Kurt? Uh, yeah, yeah.
He was super proud of me, and he's really excited.
He's already planning a whole inaugural ball.
Well, congratulations.
Thanks. Thanks.
You know, I have not stepped foot inside...
a Manhattan movie theater since the bedbug scare.
[ Phone Buzzing ] And this is a fact.
They prefer to lay their eggs in couture. [All Chuckle ]
That's true. Who wouldn’t? Lies.
[All Laugh ] I'm not lying.
What's the last movie you saw?
The last- Ooh, you know what?
The last movie I saw was a double feature.
It was, um, Unmarried Woman and The Red Balloon.
You weren't born. No, no, I wasn't even-
That's okay.
There's the man of the hour.
You all right?
You know, it didn't hit me until right now.
I came to McKinley for Kurt. That's it.
And now he's gone, and even with Glee Club, it just-
I feel really, really alone.
You're kind of killing my party buzz, bro. I'm sorry.
It's just that I did all of this for him. I did all of this for him.
And now he's not here. And so it just kind of feels like none of it matters.
Of course it matters. You're McKinley's “First Gay Guy President.”
Nobody cares about that.
Look, before you, Kurt was the first gay kid I met.
Don't get me wrong, he's great.
I just don't really get his Bravo jokes...
or the fashion thing or Broadway.
You and me, it's different, you know?
I never had a gay bro before. We'll be like Wolverine and Cyclops. You know?
We'll show people how we're cool with each other.
And if you ask me, that's what matters.
Thanks, man. You're right.
But just so we're clear-
[ Both ] I'm Wolverine.
I'm-
I said it first. Aah.
Congratulations, Blaine Warbler. Thank you, Britt.
Cool.
Congratulations to you, Mr. Vice President.
The people have spoken.
Can I let you in on a little secret?
I like secrets.
I voted for you. What?
Thank you. I would’ve voted for you too,
but I-l just really wanted to win.
I know losing sucks, but, you know, sometimes it can be a good thing.
Look at Al Gore. He lost an election, then he won an Oscar.
He did? I don't know.
You think so?
I don't know how you do it.
What?
You just always know exactly the right thing to say.
[ Imitates George W. Bush ] it's a gift.
[ Chuckles ]
You win.
I can't believe I'm about to say this,
but I'm taking Sue Sylvester's advice.
I mailed in the application.
Congratulations, William. I think it's the right decision.
Yeah. There's only one problem.
I need a written recommendation from a colleague, and I was thinking-
I'm one step ahead of you, butt-chin.
I took the liberty of composing a letter to the Arts Governing Board...
outlining your astonishing accomplishments.
“Not only is William a direct descendant of Harriet Tubman,
he delivered my infant child with his bare hands”?
Sue, Sue, this isn't even true.
Well, what can I say, William? I want you out of here.
And for the first time, I think I mean that in a good way.

Thanks. A girl has never cooked me dinner before..

And when he gave it to me, I corrected all of the grammatical errors...
and spelling errors, and then I gave it back to him.
[ Chuckles ] That's so embarrassing. [Laughs]
