Rachel, Santana and Quinn, “Love Song” | So nice to have these ladies sharing a stage, choosing a catchy ditty, and harmonizing the beans out of it! I just wish we’d had a few more scenes of dialogue to see the trio compare notes on their freshman years. Jake, “Let Me Love You” | Puck’s baby bro can definitely sing, and I liked the relaxed, stripped-down vibe of this particular performance. Marley and Jake, “A Thousand Years” | This song choice seemed overblown for this very young, very recent pairing - even by Glee’s unabashedly pro-romance standards, no? Grade: C+ Giles Band had been a little more seamless.

I just wish the actual mashup of Nelly and J. Sam, Ryder, Kitty and the Guys of New Directions, “Hot in Herre”/”Centerfold” | Lots of Cheerios gals riding New Directions guys like they were rodeo bulls. Rachel, “Torn” | Like I said up top, what a startling juxtaposition between our past and present protagonists! Despite their differences, though, the gals harmonized with nothing less than the total perfection you’d expect from such hard-charging perfectionists. Speaking of musical numbers, let’s grade the six of ’em from “Naked”: My biggest disappointment with the hour? The absence of a rendition of Jennifer Love Hewitt’s seminal semi-hit “ Barenaked.” (No, I did not type that ironically.) (Oh, and Santana, in a very quick aside, she began to realize NYC is more her speed than Kentucky. I respected the decision, and the fact that it wasn’t a total black-and-white decision for the wide-eyed freshman. In the end, Rachel just couldn’t drop robe, even if it cost her the role. Still, it’s one thing for Rachel’s kneesocks-clad alter-ego from the past to drop lines like “You’re not a porn star - even though your hair and your makeup make you look like one.” It’s quite another for Kurt to get all Judgy McJudgerson and accuse her of being “Slutty Barbie.” Yikes. Rachel’s internal debate played out in a fascinating duet that pitted Old Rachel vs New Rachel - and the contrast was stark indeed.

Kurt called in the out-of-town troops (Quinn and Santana) to stage an intervention against such a naked display, while Brody rubbed his bare parts against Kurt’s vintage flea-market chairs to show his support. Honestly, do high-schoolers today really use the L-word after like a week and a half of dating? Actually, don’t tell me: I’m not sure I want the answer!īack in New York, Rachel grappled with whether or not to go topless for a role in a student film about a woman with Alzheimer’s. Jake sweetly wrote it, Marley sweetly verbalized it, and Becky made the gagging noise that brought the scene back to reality (and reminded us why this show is categorized as a comedy). The final story arc in the high-school halls found Marley and Jake playing a game of “I love you” chicken, both of ’em afraid to be the one to admit those feelings first. (Sam eventually showed solidarity and put his shirt back on, Artie re-committed to the calendar, and along with Jake, Ryder, Joe and Blaine, they each took two slots in the 12-month beefcake parade.) This storyline felt a little less fleshed-out than Sam’s, but it did give us a nice Finn-Artie moment in the library. I’d hate to see the bowtie aficionado mess up another relationship by thinking with his Little Anderson, if I’m not being too subtle.Īrtie, meanwhile, flinched at the idea of being the only guy posing in clothes - worrying he’d be reduced to nothing but his wheelchair. I kinda hope Blaine can quash his crush on his straight buddy, as their growing closeness is as satisfying as it is unexpected. My favorite scene of the hour was Blaine showing Sam a video of the glee kids’ testimonials about all of his great qualities, culminating with a tearful hug.

Sam, reeling from SAT scores on par with the average clinical-trial monkey, ramped up his body obsession - culminating with a diva fit at the photo shoot and a subsequent tender scene in which BFF Blaine helped him realize his self-worth wasn’t merely skin deep. Of course, the strip-down shenanigans brought out unexpected reactions among the McKinley kids. Sue railed against the calendar idea (surprise, surprise) but seeing how she posed for Penthouse back in the day - and Finn secretly recorded her confessing to the shoot - the glee club’s reigning nemesis got shut down faster than you can say “Mr. The Way Home Reveals Multiple Secrets in Another Eventful Episode
