2x03: Blurred Lines

Episode Synopsis: A battle of the sexes war emerges among Finn Harmonic after the boys sing "Blurred Lines", causing the girls to teach them a lesson in choosing songs with sensitive lyrics. Puck attempts to get a job and asks Rachel to help him with his resume. Finn let's Cassandra July's words about his love life with Rachel affect him, which impacts the girls of the Glee Club after they get a taste of Finn's insensitive behavior.

Puck's Voice Over:

Do you know what I hate more than people singing around the campfire, telling each other about their feelings? The fact that when you're in a big city like New York and you're bored out of your freaking mind. Sure, I'm in Finn's little Glee Club to feel some acceptance, something I haven't gotten since High School but I haven't really done anything with my life. I was wondering what I was going to do with my life until I saw Finn come home from doing like a double shift at the diner. That was it…I was going to get a job. That way I could make some cash and feel some purpose in my life. But first…was the resume. Sure I had the pool cleaning business…but I needed something else…I ran out of ideas so I decided to go to Rachel for some help since she's all good at being a perfectionist.

{Scene shows Puck sitting in front of Rachel at the diner as she reads Puck's resume.}

Yeah…I got this resume thing down packed…

Rachel flipped through Puck's resume, occasionally letting out a 'hmm' or a 'mmm-hmm.' After she finished going through Puck's resume, she looked up at him, not sure how she was going to put what she had to say to him nicely.

"First off Puck, I'm honored that you came to me." Rachel said. "I always hoped that one day I could say that I helped someone make it in New York or anywhere…"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's nice." Puck cut Rachel off. "What about my resume. Is it good?" Rachel sighed, shaking her head slowly.

"The pool cleaning business is a good start since it shows that you're an entrepreneur." Rachel said.

"What's an entrepreneur?" Puck's face twisted in misperception. Rachel realized she was talking to Puck here, meaning that she had to keep her vocabulary limited.

"Um, it means you know how to start your own business." Rachel explained. "That's really good. But then you added jobs that aren't exactly jobs…"

"Like what?" Puck scoffed. "All those things are jobs I've done before."

"Being a 'sex machine' isn't a real job." Rachel said. "In fact, it just makes you sound like a man whore."

"Really?" Puck asked. "Seemed like a big job in High School." Rachel rubbed her temples, putting on a smile to show that she at least had to have some patience for Puck.

"Look, how about this. Why don't you put your hobbies down on your resume?" Rachel suggested. "You sing and play guitar. Oh and you can also put stuff down that you've done in High School that's not sex related. You were a National Champion in Glee Club and you helped Quinn make a bunch of cupcakes for the bake sale to help pay for the wheelchair accessible bus for Artie."

"Yeah, that was a real popular cupcake recipe." Puck thought back to when he made the cupcakes, adding the secret ingredient that gave everyone the munchies. "I'm just afraid that I'm going to screw this up. I don't want Quinn to think I'm a 'New York Loser'. That's a 'Lima Loser' times infinity."

"Don't worry, I'll help you." Rachel assured him. "Finn was in the same boat but…it was kind of much worse." Rachel paused for a minute, thinking back to the memory where she offered to help Finn with his resume.

Rachel remembered walking over to Finn from the bathroom, drying her hair as she made her way to the table where he currently was sitting down and writing his resume on his laptop. Finn had called her over so that she could check on it, but when Rachel saw what Finn had under the greatest achievements section, she gave him a serious look.

"Your greatest achievement was coming up with the name Drizzle for a potential baby?" Rachel shook her head at what Finn had written.

"Totally, so what do you think?" Finn grinned from ear to ear. Rachel kept her serious face, simply flicking Finn behind his head as she walked back to the bathroom. It took Rachel closing the door for Finn to get the message. "So I'm going to say that you didn't like it."

"Is that how he got this diner job?" Puck wondered.

"I lied on his resume and said Finn was the treasurer of Student Council." Rachel admitted to Puck. "It has to deal with money, so…"

"I can't work here then." Puck looked down feeling slightly embarrassed. "I rammed into an ATM and took the whole machine once. That's how I ended up in juvie."

"Well…don't worry, we're going to think of something." Rachel patted Puck's shoulder, giving him a comforting smile. Rachel saw a customer enter the diner and she excused herself to go take the order, leaving Puck in his thoughts. Puck had to find a purpose, but how was he going to do that when he realized he hadn't done much in his years during High School?

Finn walked along the NYADA hallways with a folder in one hand and a cup of hot chocolate from Starbucks in the other hand. Finn was going to his NYADA classroom, where he was going to teach his first lesson in his new classroom that NYADA ever so graciously gave him for winning Sectionals with a bunch of misfits. As Finn walked along the hallway, feeling the pride swell up in his heart, he noticed a bunch of NYADA cheerleaders walking by him, giving him flirty looks and biting their lower lip. Although NYADA was a performing arts school, they had the cheerleading department recently added since it was argued cheerleading incorporated strenuous dancing—that and it would give the girls that were a part of the cheerleading squad a chance to dress in short skirts. Finn didn't care about any of that—he had Rachel, the most beautiful girl in the world. Finn's heart would skip beats every time he thought of Rachel and she didn't have to wear any revealing clothes in order to turn him on. Just her smile was enough to send him into uncharted territory. Finn was in his own little world that he didn't notice Cassandra July standing in front of Finn's classroom, a smirk appearing on her face.

"Gee, I didn't think that girls in flouncy skirts would make your manhood tingle." Cassandra teased Finn. Finn groaned, staring over at Cassandra as he rolled his eyes.

"I'm not interested in those girls Cassie." Finn's tone made it seem like he didn't have time for her shenanigans. "I have a Glee Club to teach."

"So I see you want to avoid the sexy talk because you know you're not sexy." Cassandra grinned, knowing that she was getting under Finn's skin.

"I am sexy." Finn pointed to himself, almost wishing that he didn't just say he was sexy in front of Cassandra.

"Finn, I'm going to be frank here." Cassandra put an arm around Finn's shoulders as she pretended to console him. "You're as sexy as a Furby, and those things are completely hideous. You don't have what it takes to be sexy, or to find your inner sex demon."

"My sex life is just fine, thank you very much." Finn removed Cassandra's arm from his shoulder, looking disgusted towards her.

"I don't know how. I can just picture it now; you sweating all over Schwimmer like a hot sack of potatoes left out in the sun to go rotten." Cassandra said. "I bet Schwimmer only has sex with you because she won't know where to go once you dump her. She probably doesn't even think you're good in bed and fakes it just to make you satisfied."

"That's not true." Finn growled under his breath. "Rachel and I have great sex…and why am I discussing this with you? I need to get to practice." Finn walked past Cassandra, but as he continued walking away, he couldn't help but worry that maybe Cassandra was right. Maybe Finn wasn't as good as turning Rachel on as he thought. Sure, Rachel would be into it but most of the time it would be Finn who would initiate their lovemaking. Finn had to begin to wonder if he really was sexy…

"You're letting that Cassandra chick get into your brain?" Puck asked a moment later while he, Finn, Brody, Dustin and Kurt were in the auditorium. Finn needed a breather before he could go to teach the Glee Club, so he asked the boys to meet him in the auditorium so they could talk. This was what Rachel would do with the girls when she had a problem—it was kind of the same thing for boys, right? "Finn, Cassandra is a bitter old hag who has nothing better to do with her life than to make you miserable. Are you really going to let what she said about you and Berry define you?"

"I don't know…" Finn shrugged his shoulders, not sure of what to say. "I mean, when Cassandra said those things, I had a feeling that maybe she was right. What if Rachel is just faking that our lovemaking is good just so she doesn't hurt my feelings?"

"I doubt it." Brody shrugged his shoulders, looking at Finn. "She looks like she really, really loves you. You still are going to marry her, right?"

"Of course I am." Finn said. "It's just I don't think I'm sexy enough for her. I don't know if she really wants me."

"Oh please, you're like a winner." Dustin said. "Any girl would want a guy who has everything going for him…but of course, she might need a little convincing."

"All right, Finn as your brother I think that I should inform you that Rachel does love you the way you are and she wouldn't have sex with you if she didn't think you were sexy." Kurt said. "Listening to what Cassandra tells you really reeks of insecurity. If something is bothering you, then you need to talk to Rachel about it. Have a private conversation…"

"All right Anne Shirley, listen…" Puck sat up in his chair, looking at Kurt. "Whatever you said may work in La-la fantasy land, but in the real world the only way for a girl to think that you're completely sexy is to show her that you mean you're taking charge." Puck directed his attention to Finn, a smile appearing on his face as the NYADA band right behind them started setting up on stage. "You're the man in the relationship, so you need to let Rachel know where your boundaries stand…there can't be no blurred lines about it."

[Puck, Finn, Brody, Dustin and Kurt]

Blurred lines!

Finn was expecting the girls to jump up and cheer for their musical number. Instead, the girls sat there, crossing their arms and giving the boys a disappointed glare. Finn's smile disappeared, noticing that Rachel looked disenchanted and Santana was muttering what Finn thought were hexes in Spanish. The boys gazed at the girls, waiting for one of them to speak. Finally, Santana was the one that spoke.

"What the hell was that?" Santana wondered.

"What is wrong with you guys?" Celina chimed in.

"That was terrible." Melissa added.

"Wait, what's wrong with the song?" Dustin asked, keeping his eyes on Vicky as she got up from her seat and walked over to the boys. "The song is like boy empowerment, right?"

"No…" Vicky shook her head.

"The song is about guys treating girls like little sex toys." Rachel clarified, shooting dagger eyes towards Finn. "The song shows no respect for women and it shouldn't be sung in an environment where women are supposed to feel safe and loved."

"Damn right." Santana added. "I may play for the other team, but I still demand respect! Respect is something that all girls should get. We are not toys! We are human beings and we have feelings!"

"I'm very disappointed in you guys." Rachel said, looking infuriated. "Especially you, Finn. I thought you had more respect for women than that."

"I do…" Finn tried to explain, but he didn't get very far.

"You know what?" Melissa said, getting out of her chair and walking towards the boys. "Since the boys sang a 'sexy' song to the girls…I think it's time that we do you guys the favor. I mean, guys always liked having a show, didn't they?"

"Oh they sure do." Rachel agreed, heading over to her friends. Her eyes were fixated on Finn's as she crossed her arms. "So what do you say, Finn? Are you willing to let us girls return the favor and do any 'sexy' song we want?" Rachel bit her lower lip as if she was teasing Finn, but Finn knew that Rachel was still peeved with him for singing a Robin Thicke song that was about not respecting the opposite sex. Finn extended his hand, giving Rachel a smirk as she shook it, the both of them staring at each other.

"Bring your sexy on…"

"Come on, there has to be a sexy song in that song book somewhere." Vicky said as she, Rachel, Santana, Melissa and Celina sat in the library, skimming through the sheet music books. All Rachel found were Broadway songs, and that wasn't something that they could sing to the boys without teaching them a lesson. "I wonder what caused Finn to sing something like that anyway; it seems pretty out of character for him."

"Tell me about it." Santana said. "I mean, I knew Finn had issues but I didn't think that he would sing about girls being toys. I have to say, I'm actually quite disappointed."

"But Santana, didn't you find it weird that Mr. Schue also did lessons like that, sort of?" Rachel wondered. "He sang a song about a thong and two people that are addicted to one another."

"So did we." Santana pointed out.

"You sang about a thong?" Celina raised her eyebrows with interest.

"No, not the thong part." Santana clarified. " We did sing about two people being addicted to each other and that they were toxic."

"It supposedly caused a 'Britney Spears sex-riot'." Rachel added. "I still think Coach Sylvester pulled the fire alarm."

"Still, we need to get back at the boys." Celina said.

"Of course we do." Melissa agreed. "They sang a song that talked about using women purely for sex. I think it's time that we take it up a notch."

"And I completely agree…" Rachel, Santana, Vicky, Celina and Melissa turned around, noticing that Simone was standing right behind them, clutching her books close to her chest. "Those boys do need to be taught a lesson."

"What are you doing here?" Santana seethed. Santana was still pissed off with Simone for throwing a slushie at Rachel during one of the most vital times of Rachel's career. "Don't you have someone else's Broadway dreams to attempt to ruin?"

"Look, I know we have our differences but I'm here to help." Simone sat in the chair next to Rachel, the other girls giving Simone a cold look. Rachel however was more interested in what Simone had to say. "I heard that they sang 'Blurred Lines' and it's all that anyone in NYADA is talking about. If you want to embarrass them, then you need to embarrass them in a public setting."

'What?" Melissa scrunched her face in confusion, wondering what Simone meant. "So you're saying that we have to try to defeat the boys by calling them out?"

"That's exactly what I'm saying." Simone smirked. "And I would be willing to help you."

"No way." Santana shook her head, followed by no's from Celina, Vicky and Melissa.

"What did you have in mind?" Rachel wondered. Everyone faced Rachel, their eyes widening as Simone kept her focus on Rachel.

"The boys won't like it if you actually act like you're just toys…would they?" Simone said.

"No, they wouldn't." Rachel shook her head, turning towards the other girls. "Which is perfect, but what girl group is so sexualized that it would make the boys cringe with guilt?"

"I already have one my Broadway friend." Santana smiled towards Rachel. "The Pussycat Dolls."

"But if we're going to do The Pussycat Dolls then we need to kick up the sexy image up a notch." Rachel got up from the chair, going over to one of the shelves and pulling out a songbook that consisted of nothing but Pussycat Doll songs. "We're going to need to do this during the pep rally. It will really make them uncomfortable."

"I had never seen Rachel and Santana that mad before…and trust me, they have been pretty mad." Kurt said as the boys sat in the nearby Starbucks that was close to the school. "I guess singing Robin Thicke wasn't the best idea."

"I thought they would have liked it." Brody shrugged his shoulders. "I mean it was the hottest song of the summer."

"But if you think about it, they're right." Dustin said. "The song was pretty insensitive and they looked really hurt." They all noticed Finn was sitting there, not muttering a single word, just holding the cup of hot chocolate he had in his hands with a guilty expression. "Finn, are you okay?"

"Rachel had never told me that she was disappointed in me before." Finn muttered, looking away from them. "Look at the mess I caused. I let Cassandra convince me that I wasn't sexy and then I went and disappointed Rachel. I feel like a complete utter failure."

"Dude, I disappoint people all the time, no big deal." Puck shrugged his shoulders. "Rachel will get over it."

"But to hear those words echo in my head over and over makes me think that it's all I do." Finn argued. "I never should have sung that song in class. Never. I offended her and I offended all the other girls in there too. Glee Club is supposed to be a safe place where everyone can be happy. All I did was turn it upside down and made the girls feel uncomfortable. I have to apologize to them and to Rachel. What I did was wrong and I know it sounds silly that they were offended by a song but we really should have read the lyrics."

"At least we didn't sing T.I's part." Puck added. "Then they would have probably thrown chairs at us."

"We've got to make this right." Finn said. "We need to let them know that they are special and that girls aren't just play things, that they deserve love and respect."

"You're right, Finn." Kurt said. "We need to unite as one and make them feel loved—or else Regionals and our loft life will be very tense from here on out."

"Well, if we are going to plan then can we at least wait until after the pep rally today?" Brody asked. "Do we at least have a musical number for the pep rally since we were asked to sing?"

"Before this whole mess I gave the girls the opportunity to sing the song." Finn said. "It made sense with cheerleading being instated at NYADA."

"Why do we have cheerleaders anyway?" Kurt asked. "NYADA is supposed to be a performing art school."

"There's dancing in cheerleading." Brody said. "All right, well…at least things can't get worse from here right?"

"Welcome to the NYADA pep rally!" Cassandra July yelled into the microphone as the students started clapping in the NYADA gym. "Before we continue, I'd like to say that I was paid to do this and that there's nothing really in it for me. Also I may have had a little bit to drink, so I feel kind of woozy. Now…to begin the pep rally we have…" Cassandra paused, her face turning to disgust. "Finn Harmonic. So let's welcome them to the stage, shall we?" Cassandra rolled her eyes and walked off the stage. Finn, Brody, Dustin, Kurt and Puck were sitting in the first row, excited for the girls' number. Surely, it was going to be empowering. As the smoke machine started to pick up, Finn noticed something was off about this performance…for one thing, when he saw the costumes his eyes widened so much, it pretty much felt like they were going to bulge out of his head. There the girls were, in scantily clad outfits…and Simone was joining their number. The boys gave each other looks, knowing that this was obviously not going to end well for them in particular.

"NYADA!" Santana screamed as all the boys started to do cat calls towards the girls. "Are you ready to rock this joint?!" The boy started screaming towards the girls and Finn was sure that he heard someone ask Rachel out from the seat behind him. Finn shot a look at the person, his attention turning back to the stage. Finn had a feeling that this was the girls' way of getting payback…in a public setting…

{The music begins and the girls grab the male cheerleaders and start dancing with them, as Finn, Brody, Puck, Kurt and Dustin's eyes widen and their cheeks turn red when everyone stares at them}

As soon as the performance finished, everyone stood on their feet and applauded the girls, the girls bowing and shooting looks at the boys. The boys were absolutely mortified by the performance, which is just what the girls were hoping for. The gym shook with applause, leading the girls to walk off the stage while Cassandra had the microphone in her hand.

"Well…that was something." Cassandra said, looking over at the boys. Apparently, this type of performance wasn't planned. Finn just sat there, staring at Rachel with confusion, wondering what would have made her want to go on stage like that and dance…so provocatively in front of the entire student body. Finn didn't think this problem couldn't get any uglier—it just did.

"What was that about?!" Finn yelled in the choir room a half hour later, the girls sitting there as if they were proud of their performance. "That was not the performance that we were going to do for this pep rally. Rachel, I thought you said that the girls were going to do Cher for the pep rally!"

"We changed our minds." Rachel simply said. "I guess we didn't think this through…"

"Sort of like your Blurred Lines performance." Vicky finished Rachel's thought, the girls pretending that they were remorseful. They ended up smiling at the boys again, Finn feeling so many different emotions at once.

"I don't see what's the problem." Celina said. "I mean…you sang a song about girls just being props for guys' pleasure…and we sang about taking our clothes off. I don't see the difference."

"The difference is I wasn't grinding on some random cheerleader!" Finn yelled. "That was uncalled for and it was so stupid!"

"Maybe being in this Glee Club is stupid." Melissa said. "You guys are allowed to sing about sex because guys think it's cool, but when we sing about it, it's frowned upon and it's wrong in your eyes. Not only do you people think that we're toys, but you think we have no right to sing about what we want. It's like the 1800's all over again where guys had the power and girls just had to be the housewives that had to shut up or they'd risk tyranny for saying what they felt."

"Preach it girl." Santana raised her hand towards Melissa.

"You decided to sing a song that was offensive in Glee Club and you started a war, Finn." Melissa added. "So yes, we did a song about taking our clothes off and we may have grinded on some of the male cheerleaders to make you see a point. Weren't you the one that said for Rachel to bring the sexy on?"

"In the classroom! I wanted you guys to get even in the classroom, not embarrass the club in front of everyone." Finn stressed. Melissa grabbed her bag, walking out the door before turning to face Finn.

"Well I guess the only one that's going to be embarrassed is you. I quit." Melissa simply said. Celina grabbed her bags along with Vicky as they followed behind Melissa, claiming that they quit as well. Rachel and Santana looked hurt towards Finn, taking their belongings and heading towards the exit to leave the room.

"Santana, Rachel…not you too." Finn said.

"You made your bed, Frankenteen." Santana bitterly spoke.

"Now guess who has to sleep on the couch." Rachel added, both girls leaving the room together. Finn didn't know what he was going to do. All the girls of the Glee Club just quit on him and Rachel was furious. Finn sat down on the chair, running a hand through his hair as he let out a tired sigh. He had a lot of fixing to do—and it was going to have to start with Rachel.

Rachel sat on her bed, working on her laptop later that night, not noticing that Finn had knocked on the door and let out a sigh. Rachel looked up to see him standing there, but her eyes once again fixated on the laptop as she pretended that Finn wasn't even in the room. Finn walked in, standing in front of her as Rachel continued to type. He was going to have to say what was on his mind now. It was now or never.

"So, what are you working on?" Finn asked, trying to start some conversation.

"Puck's resume." Rachel bitterly answered, not staring at Finn. "I'm helping him get a job."

"Wait, so you're still talking to Puck yet you're mad at me?" Finn didn't understand the logic here.

"What happened in Glee Club this week, I expected from Puck." Rachel said angrily, putting the laptop to the side. "I would expect Puck to sing a song that was offensive and hurtful and then not care about it. I got used to it by now. What makes me angry is that it came from you. You joined in and sang a song that was degrading and hurtful to us girls in the Glee Club and you shrugged it off as if it was nothing. Is that what you really think of me, Finn? Do you really use me just to pleasure yourself?"

"What? No, of course not." Finn shook his head, sitting down on the bed. "I don't think that about you at all Rachel and you should know that. I love you."

"Well you had a very funny way of showing how much you loved me this week." Rachel looked away from Finn. "I guess I didn't help the cause either by basically dry humping the male cheerleaders' right in front of you. It's just that…I was so mad at you because you didn't care that the song was hurtful. Finn, I love being in Glee Club but not if you're just going to blindly sing songs without understanding the true meaning of them. There's a reason why Mr. Schue never let us sing Robin Thicke in Glee Club. Sure he sings like an angel…but songs like that show that in the entertainment business, women have no say. We're just there and we're supposed to lie down and let you do what you do to us. I know you're not really like that but…this is the 21st century where girls are supposed to have a say in what goes on. I know it's silly for us to be angry about a song but…songs like that make us feel like we're going backwards and that as women we worked so hard to have rights. We're not just here to pleasure guys. Sometimes we like to be pleasured too." Finn nodded his head, taking his hand in Rachel's.

"I know…and I am so sorry about this week Rachel." Finn felt extremely guilty. "I never meant to make you or any of the girls feel uncomfortable…I guess Cassandra July made me feel uncomfortable and I was so wrapped up in it that I forgot about what made you guys uncomfortable."

"What did Cassandra say to you?" Rachel wondered.

"She said something about how you only have sex with me because you just want to pleasure yourself and don't really care about me…something like that." Finn hung his head low in shame, but he didn't expect Rachel to giggle. Finn looked up at Rachel, noticing that she was shaking her head with a small smile.

"Finn, are you really going to listen to what Cassandra July says?" Rachel moved closer, finding herself straddling Finn's lap. Finn looked into Rachel's eyes, feeling Rachel's hands on his cheeks. "Cassandra's an old jealous hag who has nothing better to do than to make you insecure. I'm going to lay it all on the table right now so we never have to have this conversation again—I love being intimate with you. I love it. You make me feel so amazing and I feel so many things that I have never felt before. It's actually my favorite part of the day, coming home to you and cuddling with you, making love to you, if I could I would do it all the time…so don't for a second think that I don't love being with you. If I didn't love making love to you, I wouldn't do it, now would I?" Finn shook his head as Rachel pressed a kiss to his lips. Rachel parted her lips from his, gazing into his eyes. "I'm sorry if we made you guys feel uncomfortable. We were just as petty in this whole thing…I'm afraid we probably started a sex riot."

"I wouldn't be surprised there…" Finn whispered, kissing Rachel once more. "But there's only one person you would take your clothes off for, right?" Rachel giggled as she slowly undid the buttons on Finn's shirt, watching Finn as he continued to look into her eyes.

"Only for you, Finn." Rachel grinned as she took his shirt off. "So Finn…won't you loosen up my buttons?" Finn smirked, moving his hands to Rachel's dress as he started to unzip it, the both of them looking into each other's eyes as they made love throughout the rest of the night.

The next morning, Finn was continuing his apology tour—this time with Santana. Santana was busy sitting at the kitchen table, buttering her English muffin before she noticed Finn sitting in front of her with a remorseful look. Santana held the butter knife out threateningly, not sure what it was that Finn wanted.

"Say something stupid and I will stab you." Santana held the knife out, causing Finn to let out a slight chuckle.

"No you wouldn't Santana." Finn said. "Look, before you decide to stab me can you hear me out first?" Santana considered it, finally putting the knife down as Finn folded his hands on the table. "I came to personally apologize for being an insensitive jackass this week. I don't understand girls, I really don't…but that doesn't give me an excuse to be insensitive. I was wrong and I'm sorry." Santana continued to look at Finn, not sure if she should say anything. After a few moments, she took a deep breath and let it out, her face turning soft towards him.

"You're not a bad guy at all, Finn." Santana whispered. "You're just a guy and that's the problem sometimes. I guess I was a little harsher this week towards you because I've been going through a lot on my mind. Last week…Brittany told me that she was dating Sam Evans…you know, Trouty Mouth. And I was thinking, 'who in their right mind would pair those two up', it had to have been the stupidest idea I've ever heard. Anyway, so when you sang Blurred Lines, I guess that's why I kind of snapped. I felt like I was just a piece of litter, I was the leftovers to Brittany and Sam's love and then the song really killed me because it's like we're just pieces of garbage. I thought you had the right to know." Finn continued to study Santana, nodding his head as he let out a small smile.

"Thank you for telling me this, Santana." Finn whispered. "The last thing I ever wanted to do was hurt you. So, if you're not mad at me anymore, how about you come over here and give me a hug." Santana couldn't help but smile slightly, getting up from her seat and walking over to Finn to give him a tight hug. "I'm sorry, Santana."

"I know you are…" Santana rubbed his back affectionately and grinned towards him. "You're a good person, Finn…you just make boneheaded mistakes." Finn looked to Santana with a grin.

"So you'll come back to Glee Club?" Finn wondered. "I miss you yelling at me." Santana chuckled, nodding her head.

"All right, I'll come back. I'll even help you apologize to Vicky, Melissa and Celina." Santana said.

"You really are a great friend, Santana." Finn sounded almost as if he was touched. "You're amazing."

"I know." Santana shrugged her shoulders, giving Finn another hug.

Rachel sat in the Glee Club room later that afternoon, reading some song lyrics with some ideas for the Glee Club for next week, when she noticed Puck entering with what looked to be an excited look on his face. Rachel couldn't help but stare at him, wondering what had him in such a good mood. Puck sat down next to Rachel; staring at her while Rachel playfully rolled her eyes.

"All right Puck, what is it?" Rachel laughed.

"You're not going to believe this but I got a job!" Puck said. Rachel looked excited for him, staring at him with pride.

"Puck, Oh my god that's amazing!" Rachel exclaimed. "Where?"

"At Sam Ash." Puck said. "They needed a guitar salesman and since I knew about guitars, they hired me on the spot. Also, I get 30% off if I want to buy a guitar—and I get to touch and play all the guitars that are on display as long as I don't break them."

"I'm so proud of you, Puck." Rachel beamed. "Congratulations."

"I have you to thank." Puck admitted. "If it wasn't for you then I wouldn't have got the job. They liked my hobby section and they liked the fact that I could sing too. Seriously, Rachel…thank you."

"You're very welcome, Noah." Rachel hugged Puck tightly as he reciprocated the hug, Puck actually felt like someone. He felt like he belonged in New York and it was because of Rachel that he was able to see it. Puck and Rachel noticed the other members of the Glee Club entering the room…and he also noticed Vicky, Celina and Melissa entering with Santana, wondering what they were doing there.

"I don't get it, why did Finn have to see us now?" Melissa asked, sitting down next to Rachel and Puck. "I thought we told him that we quit."

"Please don't quit." Finn said entering the room; the boys looked over at Finn who let out a sad sigh. "First off, I wanted to say to all the girls in the room…on behalf of all the boys here…we are so sorry for offending you and making you feel worthless. I personally also want to apologize because what I did was wrong…and I didn't catch my mistake until it was almost too late…I don't want to lose the great group that we have in here. We all love being in here and I don't want to ruin that due to one mistake. You guys are really important to me…and I should have seen that sooner. So Melissa, Celina, Vicky…what do you guys say? Do you think you can forgive an ass like myself and come back to Glee Club?" Melissa, Vicky and Celina stared at Kurt, Puck, Dustin and Brody, noticing that they were also sharing the same remorseful glance as Finn. They all really felt bad…and the girls had to admit that they did miss Glee Club.

"All right…all right, we'll come back." Melissa said with a smile, Celina and Vicky nodding their heads in agreement.

"All right! So is everything okay in here?" Finn asked. Everyone nodded their heads as Finn went to grab one of the chairs and sat down in one of them. "All right…to prevent this from ever happening again, I have a few rules I'd like to make. We're going to read the lyrics to songs and understand them before we perform them in this club, just so no one's feelings get hurt. Okay? I know it's not a perfect rule but…"

"It's perfect." Rachel said nodding her head to him. "I think we can all agree that the rule is perfect. We just have to be a little careful with our song choices so we don't try to offend anyone." Finn grinned towards Rachel, nodding his head with her words.

"All right, now that we got that out of the way, I have a couple more announcements to make." Finn got up from his chair, looking over at Rachel with a small smile. "After consulting with my co-captain Ms. Rachel Berry, we have decided to reinstate Simone Barberrie into the Glee Club…if you guys are willing to let her back in."

"If Brody can change I'm pretty sure Simone can too." Kurt said, staring at the girls.

"Everyone does deserve a second chance." Melissa said. "I think it would be all right."

"All right then…so without further ado, the 11th member of Finn Harmonic is…Simone Barberrie!" Simone entered the Glee room, waiving to them with a wide grin. Everyone clapped as Simone took a seat next to Vicky. "Now, one final thing…I have one last group number that we should do to close out the week…and I think that the girls rightfully should take the lead in this number. They earned it…just can we keep the level of sexuality to a minimum?"

"Why Finn, you don't want Rachel to dance naughty with you like with the cheerleader? Oh wait that's right. You did your own private naughty dance last night." Santana chided towards Finn. Finn and Rachel blushed heavily as the other members laughed, Finn shaking his head as he turned away.

"Thank you Santana for telling the entire Glee Club what I did last night. I'm sure they all wanted to hear it." Finn sardonically said, walking out of the classroom and towards the auditorium. If there was one thing Finn thought, it would have to be this: the sooner they finished this week, the better.

{Scene changes to the girls standing on the stage in the auditorium as they looked at one another with a smile. Finn sits behind the drums, Puck and Dustin play the guitar and Kurt and Brody stand behind the backup microphones}

[Celina]

Oh sweetheart put the bottle down

You've got too much talent

I see you through your bloodshot eyes

There's a cure you found it

[Celina and Melissa]

Slow motion sparks you caught the chill

Now don't deny it

Boys will be boys oh yes they will

They don't wanna define it

[Vicky]

Just give up the game and get into me

If you're looking for thrills then get cold feet

[Celina, Rachel and Santana with Finn Harmonic]

Oh no I do not hook up, up

I go slow

So if you want me I don't' come cheap

Keep your hand in my hand

And you're heart on your sleeve

Oh no I do not hook up, up

I fall deep

Cause the more that you try

The harder I'll fight

To say…Goodnight

[Melissa]

I can't cook no but I can clean

Up the mess she left

Lay your head down and feel the beats

As I kiss your forehead

[Rachel and Simone]

This may not last but this is now

So love the one you're with

[Vicky]

You want a chase but you're chasing your tail

A quick fix won't ever get you well

[Vicky, Rachel and Santana with Finn Harmonic]

Oh no I do not hook up, up

I go slow

So if you want me I don't' come cheap

Keep your hand in my hand

And you're heart on your sleeve

Oh no I do not hook up, up

I fall deep

Cause the more that you try

The harder I'll fight

To say…

[Santana]

Cause I feel the distance

Between us

Could be over

[Simone]

With a snap of your finger

Oh no!

[Simone, Rachel and Santana with Finn Harmonic]

Oh no, I do not hook up, up

I go slow

So if you want me I don't' come cheap

Keep your hand in my hand

And you're heart on your sleeve

Oh no I do not hook up, up

I fall deep

Cause the more that you try

The harder I'll fight

To say…

Cause the more that you try

The harder I'll fight

To say…Goodnight

[Melissa]

Oh sweetheart put the bottle down

Cause you don't wanna miss out…
