I love Glee but this episode was not one of their finest. The story had the class needing to raise money to go to nationals as Sue has stolen their winnings from Regionals (WTF!) so they were going to do a taffy drive. Instead, four of the group were angry they were always ignored but they were part of another group to compete in the finals for an academic competition. They decide to hold a benefit to raise money. Sue gets a League of Doom together (Stephen Tobolowsky, Mr Shuster's ex-wife and the new coach for Vocal Adrenalin) to try and break Will and Holly Holliday (Gwynth Paltrow) apart and ruin the benefit. Meanwhile a member of Vocal adrenaline wants to sing in the benefit and will bring her 600 twitter friends along but at the last minute cancels and no one turns up to the benefit except the hecklers. (What the hell was the point in that little storyline? Was it just so they could hear someone else sing for a change? Dumb!) They go ahead with the benefit and Stephen Tobolowsky's character is so blown away with Mercedes performance, he pays for their trip in full. As a side story, Mercedes is convinced by Lauren to turn Diva and demand extravagant things so she will be taken seriously. Of course that backfires. Will finds out that Emma's husband has called for an annulment of their wedding and so Will tells her he is there for her as a friend. Holly sees this and tells Will it is over between them. Not much else happens and the song choices weren't great either. It is ironic that I am blogging something negative when Holly has a talk with the hecklers and they talk about how bad it is to be negative. Sorry, but the show was not up to the usual standard. Not many episodes to go to the end of the season. Hope it picks up. (I know it will!)
