The episode opens with Brittany S. Pearce at MIT. She is in a meeting with the recruiters from the College and they explain how surprised they were with her SAT grades, which, if you recall, were the result of her answering the questions randomly and using the spots to draw stuff like ribbons. They also explain, in one of those exposition moments Glee loves so much, how they decided that Brittany should get another test and proceed to clarify how she answered everything with crayons and got 0 points on it. And here comes the plot twist; as well as writing the wrong answer to every single question, she also draws a full page of numbers on the back of the exam. One of the lecturers explains that those random numbers that popped in Brittany’s head had a profound mathematical meaning depending on how you read them –too complicated for me to explain – and that she is possibly the brightest mind since Albert Einstein. They also say that they have a proposal for her.
Seeing that Brittany is a mess, Mr. Schue and Coach Silvester decide to make an intervention, but Brittany establishes that if they want to have a chat, it has to be according to her own terms. Therefore, Sue and Will participate in the first episode of Fondue for Two we’ve seen in a while. There, we find Will and Emma are indeed getting married and Britt reveals that Sue’s baby’s famous father is in fact the singer Michael Bolton, proving once more that she is not as stupid as we might have thought. As for the intervention, well, the writers probably forgot that was the whole point of this, so it never happens.
Sam is also concerned about Brittany, and phones Santana to ask for her help. The girl, as a good friend and ex, goes to confront Britt, and we find ourselves in the second Fondue for Two of the episode. Santana is not into the show, and points to Brittany that she’s not been acting like herself lately. Finally, she opens up and the scene ends with an intriguing “what I’m about to tell you will change everything”.
After that, in Breadsticks, we find Kurt and Blaine are having supper with Jan and her partner, Liz, and the women talk to them about all the difficulties they had to face as a gay couple back when they were young. They begin to give the boys some advice, but Kurt points something out I’ve already mentioned: “We’re not a couple” I don’t think Blaine got that memo. Finally, Patty Duke’s character stands up and proposes, saying that even if gay marriage is not legal in Ohio, it is legal in many other places and they should get married. Liz accepts and everybody in the restaurant cheers as if the scene was the end of a bad romcom.
Marley tries to convince Ryder to stay in New Directions for Regionals, and he asks her why she would pretend to be Katie and humiliate him that way. Then, Unique, who was apparently hiding behind a column and overhearing the whole conversation, interrupts them. She explains that she was the one pretending to be Katie, but that she didn’t mean to hurt Ryder. She did it because she has a crush on him, but she knows he doesn’t understand the whole I’m-a-girl-in-a-boy’s-body situation. In return, he says that he’ll never ever talk to her again –that’s sweet, Ryder!
After the competition, once they have their award and they are all happy and cheerful and everything, Emma arrives to the choir room with a priest and says that she and Will are getting married “right here, right now” — and I cannot believe somebody with such a bad OCD case would ever do that. They tie the knot in front of their beloved glee club and the episode ends in a really anticlimactic way, with Blaine looking lovingly at Kurt while holding a ring box behind his back, Rachel’s callback being more of a loose-end than a cliffhanger and a stupid wedding that makes no sense. All in all, it seems more like a mid-season finale than a proper one, and leaves us with a weird mixture of feelings of both wanting to know more and not really caring at all about the main storylines. How do they expect to fix this mess? Will they pick the story up from the same point? We’ll see what happens after the summer, but maybe Mr Murphy will decide to cross out what he has planned for this stories and start anew. It wouldn’t be the first time.
