Glee - Born This Way

This is another episode that showcases each characters individual tics.  Firstly, Flynn tries his hand at dancing, which he is just not good at and he ends up breaking Rachel's nose!  At the doctor, Rachel discovers that if she gets a nose job, not only will she no longer have an over-sized nose, but apparently she will be able to sing better.  She seriously considers the nose job.  Meanwhile, Santana needs to get back in with the group and after discovering that bully Karofsky is gay, she hatches a plan to get him to apologise to Kurt so that Kurt will return to McKinnley, giving New Directions the help it needs to win Nationals.    It was sad when he came back because he left his boyfriend and other friends at Dalton Academy.  I realised what I liked about these guys.  Not only do they sing brilliantly, but they were ALL so accepting of Kurt.  No one was ever critical or judgemental and they all genuinely liked him.  That is rare and a pleasure to see on television.  Maybe it will inspire some others to be more accepting.  To say goodbye, they sing a great version of 'Somewhere Only We Know'.
Santana and Karofsky are also going to try and win Prom King and Queen.  Quinn is desperate to win Prom Queen when she finds out Lauren is also running for Prom Queen.  In retaliation against Quinn's attitude, Lauren uncovers confidential information that shows Quinn used to be overweight and had a nose job.  So she didn't like the way she was and changed herself which goes against everything the Glee club stands for.
There are a couple of other great numbers in this episode, 'Barbara Streisand' with a flash mob dance in a shopping centre and a cool message done with T-Shirts and Lady Gaga's 'Born This Way'.  Another top episode.
