And That's what you really missed with Jenna.
And Kevin An iHeartRadio podcast.
Welcome to and That's what You Really Missed podcast. Very sad it is, but we are almost at the end of season two, can you believe it?
Which is also sad.
I am excited for season three.
I am too.
I need to get the tones as quickly as possible this season. Yes, but you get to Vanessa Enj's in this yeast season. That's right, Okay, cool, awesome.
And I'm also excited for the next episode. I'm sorry for the season two finale, which when I finished watching this week's episode Funeral, did I keep going to watch Nationals?
I thought about it?
I did?
Oh man, So I thought about it and then I was like, no, no, just get give it a second. Let Funeral stink in and then go to Nationals. But I also like, don't know what to expect again. Am I going to be disappointed in the next episode because my expectations are so high? Or is it going to live up?
I think?
But the memories are so good that I don't think it matters.
Yes. I think what we've if we've learned nothing else from doing this, is more than objectively watching an episode. What you and I attached to are the memories going into these things, so many memories and so the episode, while I didn't necessarily remember specifics of the scenes that actually made it in, all I can think about is, you know the fun we had filming is Yeah, so that that's going to be special.
The four minutes that we filmed and the five days that we were there. Okay, okay, cool, Well let's get to funeral. Yeah.
Filming Funeral was also that last week of school. You know, you have to do your exams and you know, like you hear it is it's a second to last week of school. This is exam week sort of. And the next week, you know, all the tests are going to be done. You just have to show up. That was going to New York, that's right, And so before we were going to leave, like, hey, let's give you this
really heavy, sad episode, which I'm glad that. You know, Jane had her incredible she has the range acting moments, but it was so sad.
Why can't a lot of it was sad? Yeah, a lot of it.
Was just there was a breakup, a death, There's a lot of happening.
Yeah, Becky gets kicked off.
Oh my god.
It was a lot. It was a lot, But there's some good music in this one. And I liked how insular it felt with the high school of us, like competing and performing on the stage. It felt like high school again, like we were back in. Yeah, you know, just star our little bubbles. And what we learned it prom is that I do like a little back to back to back numbers. So the additions that happen here
are very satisfying. Yeah, very If you can't tell, we're talking about season two, episode twenty one, Funeral that originally aired May seventeenth, two thousand and one. Jenna, what was the number one song in the country? Then rolling in the Deep hull? That's not the melody. I was gonna do it and then it didn't do it. But okay, it was Rolling in the Deep.
Which, by the way, have you seen videos of her talking at her Vegas show about what inspired some of her biggest hits. No, Rolling, you have to go find it. It's hilarious because they're the most mundane things that have nothing to do. Yeah, go do it.
I don't know the soul in which she sings with these songs with yes, Okay, the number one movie is thora again exciting. I have thought again, what was happening? There's a lot of Glee stuff going on. Kevin So.
On May twentieth, a couple of days after the episode first air, Matt Corey, Chris, Leah, Heather Night, and Amber everyone but us, We're featured on the cover of The Hollywood Reporter to promote the finale of season two, which is in New York. And on May twenty first, the second leg of Glee Live in Concert began at the Mandalaid Bay in Las Vegas. So when this episode aired, we had just gotten to Vegas to start our three day prep for our arena tour, which was absolutely insane.
We had three days. Actually, you know what, Jenna, we'll do another episode talking about maybe the logistics of this tour wed a couple of weeks.
We should because this is there's so much that happened, and I think this episode would be two days long. So yeah, yeah, agreed. We'll get to say that this episode was directed by the one and only Bradweaker.
Beautiful job.
You'll hear his name quite a lot. And uh some of the songs, oh yeah, some of the best songs we've ever done Back to Black. There's a handful of songs that I probably would say were better than potentially better than the original. And look, I'm not trying to disregrect a wine House because she's wow a legend, but this number definitely could live up to the standard of the original Back to Black that Santana does.
Having Naya do amy wine House songs was really the correct qualifying.
Yeah, everybody was in their pocket in this episode. Yes, so Kurt did. Some people from Gypsy Mercedes did try a little tenderness by Otis reading once again another roof top belower that was going back in the rotation. I know, I know, I know. And then my Man by Rachel from Funny Girl.
Which was also very and then we did our sad, sad version of Pure Imagination. Yees, Okay, I think we should just preface this. I watched this episode with my boyfriend last night and I just kept saying, this episode feels so weird in my memory, like Irksome agreed, And when you get to the funeral, I believe that is why this song I can't listen to the song.
I also just want to know it was also a weird day of shooting, Like off the lot, we were like at a church I think it was. It wasn't a funeral home. And I also want to know why we all were wearing white, Like, why was Tina wearing white at a funeral? Very inappropriate? Well, why weren't we all wearing black? It was intentionally a different type of h whatever. Okay, I just felt it was really weird that Quinn was wearing like white and rad and I was like, this is strange.
There's some good fun facts about this episode, Okay, tell me. So. This is the episode that Jane rightfully so submitted for the Emmys and she was nominated to not win, but she was nominated, and it's an honors to be nominies. It is the last time we see Jesslyn as Terry Schuster as a main character. She comes back three more times for the two part finale, and then she comes back in season.
Four for not Enough, Not Enough.
Okay, it was sad. I was sad. You can tell they wrap her story up moving to Miami. I was like, oh no, she'ts and things, yeah for real. In the promo for this episode that aired on Fox, there is a scene where there's a conversation between Quinn and Finn about quitting glee club, but it didn't make the final cute of the episode and end of the episode, Finn actually references that scene.
Yeah, I don't remember that scene reading that scene in the script either.
Yeah, I don't either. So some happened, okay, cutting room floor, but they shot it. This is also I feel like this is a good one for like Trivia night Trivia. This is the second time Sue is seen in something other than a tracksuit or something tracksuit related, right right, Okay, forty three episodes in and only the second. Wow, Wow, she had it good. And my favorite, My favorite bit is that the Figgins email getting figure with it at
aol dot com for years. If you emailed it actually replied to you and said, greeting students and well wishers. I'll be out of the office until Friday. It's ending a seminar on mail enhancement at the Bob Jones University. Until then, I will not be taking emails because I do not understand how computers seem alive but aren't. Sincerely, Principal Figgins, McKinley High School where Wings take dream.
That was definitely ian.
Yeah, it doesn't work anymore, but it did for a very long time. I love those.
It's really funny.
I didn't know that that's really funny. Okay, let's break it down for you.
Sue. Sue has lost her her beloved sweet sister, Jean. Jean passes away, and Kurt and Finn take on the responsibility of planning her funeral because Sue cannot plan it herself. Nationals are just one week away, and we bring in surprise guests Jesse Think James, who has been hired as co captain or show choir consultant to help them prepare, and he convinces Will to organize these solo auditions to
decide who we're going to revolve the setlist around. And Will seems to be hiding a secret from the glee club. What's going on?
Secrets always come out, Will, It's high school.
Yeah.
So the episode starts off with Sue is a little extra angry, like real angry, you know. It's not like the farcical, whimsical anger that we've grown to know and love. It's a little different this week. And so she's talking to Terry and she wants Howard Bamboo to hack into Principal Fagan's computer to get the glee clubs fight information to nationals to reroute them through Libya. Now there's a joke in here about do you want them to get murdered?
And she goes kidnapped and murdered if we could, which, you know, I don't know if there's every situation in which an educator should be saying that, right, right, not so good? Wild and here we are, Yeah, here we are.
And then the thing that happens right after is Becky comes up asking Will if she can join the glee club because Sue unexpectedly kicked her off and she just wants to belong somewhere, and understandably, I think we'll actually handle this like there's only a week left they have nationals, but next year she can join, right, Yeah, that was so sad, though I know sweet Becky, and I do
have to say I think Jane's acting. I want to talk about a lot in this, okay, because when she kicks Becky off the Cheerios, she's doing this thing where she is fully removed, Yes, which is a lot of the episode. Yeah, where it is so good and so subtle, like we used to her as being mean she's saying the mean thing, but it's but she's putting up this wall. Yeah,
and you can physically feel it and see it. Yes, and I yes, you know a lot of the times of like we were on a different show, Like we're still doing the same teen things, getting ready for Nationals jokeshoke jokes, everyone's cooking up with each other, stealing each other's boy friends and girlfriends, right, and then and then Jane's giving sort of a master class and grief, you know, on the.
Other on the other show.
Yeah, So I was really just sort of struck by that because every scene she's doing a little something different and depending on her relationship with the person she is talking to, right, and I think where she has a different relationship with every single character she interacts with on this show. Seeing that was just very impressive. And I don't I definitely did not catch that, you know, the first time around.
Yeah, it's nuanced, m M.
Yeah, so good.
So we find out, well, it confronts Sue about him, you know, her kicking back off the cheerios, and Sue then decides to divulge the information that Gene has passed away and before really sad. Also that scene I thought it was a really well written scene. Yes, you know the bit about you know, her life expectancy, and then she's getting older and older, and I thought we'd, you know, have her forever. But then Kurr and Finn find out and they go and bring Sue her flowers because they
both have lost somebody very close to them. So I thought that was a really very well thought out plan to have the two of them go.
I mean, and that's what happens. I think it's reflective of real life.
Too, where right you cling to people who have been through it or will be there for you you because
of shared experience. And this scene also heartbreaker where she says she wants to know why she's the one alive and you know Genes not the wie, or like why they didn't take Sue instead of being because Jane is the nicest person that she ever met, and that she can't go to the funeral and she can't go sort through the things, which is totally makes sense, and and so they decided they're going to help Sue and they
are going to plan for the the funeral. Meanwhile, Jesse's saying, we shouldn't plan a funeral, we'll get to more Jesse of this whole thing, but because we're getting ready for nationals, it should be the only thing we're focusing, which is very Vocal Adrenaline focused and aligned with But okay, so Finn finally steps up and says, well, I'm the leader of this crew and so we're definitely going to plan funeral.
There was also a very funny line for Jesse saying like, do you know what Vocal Adrenaline is doing right now? They're having twenty four hour rehearsals, so do you know what happens? There's somebody ties in a number, we use them like a prop like weekend. It's very good, it's funny.
I do love that this storyline too, you know, like curtain Finn didn't go and help clear out Jean's room at the nursing home and seeing them work together in a way that's you know, there's been a lot of conflict conflict between them and there's no conflict between them and they're doing something good through their you know, shared trauma, a grief for somebody else who has been nothing but terrible to them, which is as family, as brothers, as friends, teammates.
So it was really sweet and that's when they discover the Willy Wonka tape and that it was Jean's favorite movie and she'd watch it three times a week. In light Bulb Woo, it happens, the light Bulb happens at the same time that Suit admits that the only reason she even agreed to Letnic click up Helper is because she didn't think anyone wud show up to Jean's funeral, and so she wanted the place to be full, which was also just so she's so broken this episode.
We're not We're not used to seeing her like this. I think that's what threw me a little bit. Yeah, and every time, and it's every time she opens her mouth. It's this little piece of wisdom, of perspective of when you do lose someone in real life.
I do think Brad Feuchuk is really good at summing up life experiences that way, And if I had to guess, I would think he wrote some of these scenes interesting. The other day he was talking to me about marriage, trying to convince me to get married, and the way he made it sound was beautiful and poetic and just so romantic. And he has what I mean, he's a writer. You know and so hearing these conversations surrounding loss and
I'm familiar, Yeah and interesting. It was also just a testament to their team teamwork, Ryan, Brad and Ian or their powers combined they could create a really well rounded show like that.
Yeah. Yes, well, if you meet them all, which you've meant two of them so far, Brad and obviously most of you guys know Brad, I'll truck at this point, but like, yes, they're all so different and so complimentary, and they all have their strengths. But like, of course, like with Ian, you know, his strength is the those like cunning one liners that like the funniest person or the monologues. But yes, it sounds like maybe Brad took on this or helped with this this side of Sue.
You gonna talk about the funeral?
Ugh, okay, well all right, let's talk about the funeral first. I was going to talk about Finn and Quinn breaking up, but we should talk about the funeral first. Yes, was worried that nobody is going to show up to Jean's funeral, but to her surprise, it's a full house. People from the nursing home, people from her life, the glee club, school, people are showing up for Jean and it's it's all, okay, it's weird. This this funeral scene is weird. Mushrooms at
the base of her coffin. But again, she loved Willi Wanka, so Finn and Kurt did them right.
But it's high schoolers doing this.
I'm just upset that we didn't all wear black. It just looked weird to me, and I think that might have been part of it. It's like the aesthetic was wrong. But also shooting that, I think it was really dark and maybe it was a funeral home, but the feeling, the vibe crazy off. The vibe was off, like in that in that.
Room, is that what it was?
The ceiling was really low, And I remember popping in and yes, okay, and then walking into this set which we had been waiting all day to shoot, and then we come in and we do the scene of the song, and then that's it, right, like that's all we're in of this episode. We walk in to shoot it, and I remember seeing the chocolate.
Fountain, the smell of the chocolate fountain.
It was so freakin gnarly. I was like, I gotta get out of here. I gotta get out of here. It was a choice, as our producer said, a choice. But it was weird. It was really weird, and I think just the combo Kevin of like what you said, not seeing Sue like that in the show, and then seeing not seeing Jane have to do that kind of acting at a funeral, and then us being there in this very it was like dystopian. It was like very strange. It was a weird, weird, weird section.
I would also like to address this state of mind of all of us at this time in real life, because at the end of the season, the wheels have come off. The wheels are fully off. Yeah, so much so that like we started to rehearse. We should have been rehearsing for New York, but there was no script. Oh god, do you remember, And so like we went to New York following shooting this episode and started shooting the episode and there was only like half the script written.
I think we had like I Love New York or whatever that song was.
And so it was a three of them writing this thing.
I think it had finally caught up to them. Understandably, it caught up to us because we needed to rehearse and we're sort of showing up and shooting the pure imagination thing that we're sort of disconnected from what's actually happening in the episode anyway, and we're starting to panic about New York and learning what we can what we do know about it, and so there's all the like logistical things going on at the same time, and then you're thrown into chocolate fountain mushroom carry over.
Karaoke.
You sounded great on the song, by the way, what, Yeah.
I don't think I.
I think it's a hard song to sing, really, I do, because it's there's nowhere to go. Yeah, you just it's long, sustainable notes, and I think that's very revealing. I can't personally do that, but I think you theater trained people can and it was it was nice.
That's funny, that's really funny. I didn't. I don't see it that way. But I don't think I this just the context of this song makes it hard for me to like attach to the song at all.
I have to avoid this song harder than I avoid don't stop believing.
This one doesn't play all over exactly.
When I do hear it, I get so irk. I'm glad that you share the same thing though, because I feel crazy.
It's just a weird feeling. It's a weird feeling, it's nick feeling. Yeah. Yeah.
So Sue gets have to, you know, to her eulogy. Yeah, and it's such a beautiful and beautifully sad speech and she has to stop and Will comes up and finishes the speech for her. Cut in with all these videos of Jane and Sue together. Oh my god, that was beautiful. Do you think that was a beaker call?
Definitely, definitely, definitely, definitely a beaker A Ryan, I mean, neither one, you know.
I feel like that was an editor an editing choice.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Yeah, it was good. It was really good. And honestly, I could have done with that and without the funeral, and I would have been a much happier person. Yeah.
I think that was Sue's speech, and those videos were yeah enough the best.
Yeah, Will helps her finish the speech. That got me.
And he got everyone. Everyone was losing it in that audience. Mm hmmmmm, which leads to yeah, a lot of feelings, which bleeds into the next scene.
So Finn is in the car and Quinn gets in and and Finn's crying and she says nice crying and he's gonna break up with her, and it is sad. Quinn's like, is this obviously because of Rachel, and Finn's like, I mean, I just I feel tethered to her in so many words, he said that, and then Quinn is basically saying like, I'll stay with you and we'll get through this, which is so weird. It's weird, but it's also very high school like, it's a very high school thing to do, to be like it's okay, we'll get
through it and we'll push through. But the climax of this scene when Finn is like, who are you and don't you feel anything? It was just a really well acted scene. I'll always love watching Corey and Diana together. They have a lot of chemistry. Their dynamic works really well. And then you know the script, like you know, they flip the script a little bit, and and so now Quinn is very upset at Finn for yelling at her and asking her if she's feeling any emotion, and that's
the end of Finn and Quinn. They shouldn't have done this to begin with.
Also, just to let's put too fine a point on this, this is their twenty first episode they've written this season and they're still turning out scenes like that.
Yeah, that's crazy. Yeah, it is crazy.
I don't know how excellence. Yeah it must be nice, all right, jeez.
Yeah some honestly, it's just very clear when they like have a clear yeah intent and you know direction in which they're going.
You know, you talked about chemistry between them, Corey and Diana m and I do have to say to Pat our show on the back, I think there was so much chemistry between all these characters that you miss it when you see a show that doesn't necessarily have chemistry. I watch a lot of teen shows and it's missing that.
And there are so many shows that you have people that are friends or love interests and there's no chemistry or like one of them is trying really hard to make something happen, the other ones up pulling their weight. There's something that chemistry you can't really fake, No, you can't, and so it just it's there or there's not. And I think maybe because we were all so close in real life and we all did and do love each other, that I think that came through and shouldn't be neglected
because that was that was a big thing. I I won't name names, but there are some teen shows on currently that could stand to do with a little more chemistry.
I wonder if I had anything to do with age. Yeah, that could I mean maybe not, but maybe part of it could be.
That, Like that could be thirty fully, Oh yeah, you know, you're more comfortable with being open with people, and I think when you are younger, playing the actual age, I think that's fair point. Fine, you win.
So then Sue, Sue doesn't. One eight puts Becky back on the cheerios. I think she's gotten her closure. I think hug it was really sweet. She's like, can I'm gonna ask you to hug me now? I also love when Stu says, I'm gonna stop you right there always Yeah, I just missed that music. And yes, Becky is back on the cheerios, back where she belongs. And then Sue also reveals that she's got bigger fish to fry. She apologizes to Will that she has been a bad friend.
He's been such a loyal, wonderful friend to her, and she's she's no longer going after the Glee Club because she is going to run for the US House of Representatives.
His reaction was priceless, choking on his drink. I was like, yeah, that's fair.
Right, just about right.
Yeah, But telling him that he's like her sister, that they're both just nice people was really sweet.
Yeah. Nice when they get along for like a minute.
Yeah, I'll see how long it lasts.
Yeah.
This next bit, Terry comes back because Sue says, look, there's a little problem with the tickets. I was doing this thing, re routed them to Libya, but Terry stepped in to fix it and talks about these old school preprinted American Airlines tickets that I haven't I feel like I haven't seen since the nineties.
Oh god, no, Kevin, we have them, really, yes, we had them flying the cardboard ones.
No, but not just the cardboard. But you know, when you would get your ticket in the mail beforehand, it would come to those little paper things that they have. Yeah, I don't. I mean you can go to the airport now and have your cardboard like like the little paper envelopes that Yeah. Oh I haven't seen those, and I can't tell you how long. Maybe I'm just older, old school.
Yeah yeah, okay, but yes, you're right, they are very old school, and that very much dates our show.
And I'm wondering if we had to deal with American Airlines because in the next episode, remember this when you watch it, Jenna, there's a shot of a taxi cab and on the at on top of the taxi is for American Airlines.
We flew American.
Yeah. So Fox had a deal with American.
Yeah.
And then Terry says she's moving to Miami to open a new sheets and things and see you later.
Good.
So sad, oh god? Okay. So Jesse St. James shows up and New Directions hire him as a consultant, and he's trying to whip people into shape and says, we need to build the performance around the star performer, just like Vocal Adrenaline would do. And so they decide to hold auditions to identify who that person is. And there's some pushback as fins like, I don't think we should do this, even Sam's like, you know, normally I believe you,
but it's Nationals. We've worked really hard to get here. Also, they're a week away and don't have a set list. We'll shoot here. You were not a serious person?
Is this new news?
Do you?
I just I will never get over it. It's like, you also don't have a budget to do anything, but you can get a chocolate fountain and mushrooms to decorate a funeral. Granted, obviously funeral is more important than a competition, but you know, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I do like this sort of callback to the pilot of Rachel talking about the sign up. It was really sweet and they all sign up. Finn's not auditioning yep, and Rachel's like, you need to step up times, it's not time to
be a leader. But Finn's like, I can't because Jesse wiped out all my confidence in ten seconds, which is very real. He feels like he's LIMA good but not NYC good, which again flagged that for next episode. And Rachel was talking about moving to New York. So even though Will doesn't think the auditions are great to diet, they go through with them, which I'm love they did me too selfishly. Santana goes in with back to block. I mean, so unfortunately we weren't there for any of these.
I remember being there and watching Amber's performance. Really, we must have been on the lot doing something or there for something rehearsal or I don't know what it was. But yeah, I was. I watched her performance of it, and I was like, oh my, I didn't know she was. I hadn't heard the song yet, and I just sat there and obviously was losing my mind. I watched a couple of takes of it.
Oh I'm jealous. And then Kurt sings well, and then Jesse says that Santana didn't dive into the emotional depth of the song, which I disagree with. Kurt also does some people uh from Gypsy and is compared to like Bernadette and all these like Broadway legends.
He was singing for his life. He didn't but he was actually singing. But the nie slides his profend.
So good, so good. And and then Mercedes we talked about God, that song, it's so good, it's so good, and lazy bones, but it's all. It's all.
Yeah.
Their their plan to have Jesse bring them down or like criticize them didn't backfired when we saw how good these four weeks.
Actually, Yeah, I get you're trying to be a reality show.
But bro, sorry sorry. And then Rachel who does my Man from Funny Girl, which was also in her element.
And that slow most shot of Finn in the hallway. Oh so that's always like heartbreaking. I was like, okay, I'm gonna turn off my emotions.
And then Chris's reaction to her also, I think that those were real tears. Yeah, and so yeah, so we think Rachel's going to be the winner, but everybody's kind of in this like jockeying. Yeah yeah, and and Will's like, I have the final say, so give me a sack.
I'll let you know on Friday. I do have to say one of my favorite scenes in this episode is this short little scene when Kurt goes back into the room or is it Santana while they're all auditioning, and they go back into the room and they're all talking shit to each other, and then when Mercedes storms out.
I thought it was so good. It was cute little you know, when we get these little groups together, yes, and everyone's just fiery competitive about the thing they're all obsessed with is my favorite.
I also thought you were talking about this the scene where Jesse and Will are discussing who should win and Brittany is filming it.
I also love that.
And then ask them to come on BONDI for two and Jesse basically reveals that he's you know, Rachel, Rachel's the one and if we win, if we go with Rachel, we'll beat Local Adrenaline.
But look, my crush on John Graff like all of us, yeah, peak hit during this epod. But he's so cute.
I know, I remember that little vest he wore when he was shooting with us. I'll never forget that outfit. See yeah, yeah, looks great. He looks great. There, such such a cutie. So Finn sees Rachel and Jesse together. Jesse's telling Rachel that she's gonna win or they're going to do it, and you know, she's going to be the lead soloist, and Finn walks in and he's burned, burned when he sees them kissing. He showed up with a flower, sweet little nugget. But they're not gonna We can't.
We can't see them get together yet.
No, we can't.
We have a finale some time soon. And and then there's an emergency Glee meeting and the h the announcement is not what they were expecting or the contenders were expecting, and we're going to do two original songs, which I don't know how we're going to do that in this short amount of time, literally on the plane, right.
Songs, rehearse the songs, compete and perform the songs right.
But then it turns out to work out because everybody starts to to compliment each other, and we get the best line of the episode, which is Santana saying that she smokes cigars to get her Raspina. Finn's like asking Quinn in the scene also like he's glad that she didn't quit because they broke up. And I guess you don't need it though, because without the promo, Like I watched the promo after, it didn't matter, like I thought.
I figured that they were just she didn't quit the glee club because they broke up, was what I thought he was referring to.
I did too, but it still felt weird. I still a little arm Oh and I didn't even know about it. Oh interesting, Okay, I just assumed maybe I was texting and missed something.
But Quinn says that if she quit, her big plans from New York would be around. We don't know what those are. But Quentin's back at it. She's back at it.
She sure is. There's also something going on underneath the surface here, what this whole episode where Will is in fact doing ables musical. The rumors are true, right and Emma. We find out because Emma's helping Will pack and he keeps saying it's not going to be for long. I'm assuming it's we're going to do the opening night and then it's going to shut down immediately, and she's being more encouraging, like, no, this is your dream, need to go do it. And he hasn't hold the glee club
because he doesn't want anything to distract them. But we still have time to have auditions and plant of funeral. No big deal, this is a little inconsistencies. And plus he'll be back after summer break, so no big It's going to be fine. But what was really cute was after Terry and Will have their goodbye in the hallway because during the packing, you know, Emma and Will are getting rid of some of these vests that he has.
He has eight thousand vests. And after Will says goodbye to Terry, Emma and Will meet up in the hallway and Emma's wearing one of his vests.
It's cute. It looks so cute on her.
And she wishes him good luck and goodbye seemingly forever. She says, don't be a stranger, and it's so sweet.
I feel like Will's always leaving at the end of the seasons, whether it's the school.
Or the Sue is always having a redemption arc, and Will's always leaving. That's what's happening thus far. Well, Nationals, Here we come. Are you excited for Nationals?
I am. I'm just trying to keep my expectations low because I can't. I don't fully remember like the arc of this episode, and so I'm just I don't want to be disappointed. I don't think I will be, but no intrigued, I know, But I'm invested in the show now too. I know. You know.
I said last week that I was worried that this episode may be like a funk situation of last year.
You did, you did?
We were, And I have to say, upon watching again, I don't think we have that. I think this is a very solid episode, even though the funeral irks me pure imagination. Specifically, it's just that that one scene. Yeah, it's just that one scene. Everything else is really good. People are acting, people were writing, people were singing.
Right, It's very like, yeah, it was good all around.
It's a very solid episode.
Yeah, it was fun to watch.
I also have to say shout out to Lauren Potter acting sound. I thought she was great. Becky had some great moments this episode. Yes, okay, should we get into some Auchi's let's do it. I feel like this is pretty easy.
Yeah, well, the Howard bamboo yes express and the food not really being.
She's he says I'm not Chinese, and then Sue goes will neither.
Food, which it's kind of true.
That's funny.
However, let's not the setup best dance move.
There's not a lot of dance.
There wasn't a lot of dancing, so there's not dancing. No.
I did think it was funny, and I think it was probably intentional to give John Groff something to say for Nya's performance about the emotional depth where she just starts sort of walking around and like rubbing people's back during this really sort of serious song. It's true, which just feels connected. But obviously I think that's intentional. I did sort of like that because it was hilarious. But I think Kurtsny slide is pretty impressive. Oh yeah, that's true,
So maybe we just do that. Yeah, okay, I'll go with that one best song.
O.
Man oh man, I'm going back to black.
Yeah, back to black. Okay, no, no, I take it back. Try a little tenderness.
See that's what I was saying.
Yeah, yeah, try a little tenderness because some of those runs were the stupidest things I've ever heard.
Oh it's so good. That's why I was struggling. I was struggling. Okay, best performance by a prop the Chocolate Fountain, it's not the best performance us in this episode. Uh, that's good. Or the wily Wanka tape the VHS that's actually the real Yeah, the best line. I like Santana's cigar line so nice. I smoke cigars.
I love that line. I also love Jesse's line he says, that's sweet. You remember the masculine click of my designer boots.
He has really good one liners. Performance MVP Jane Jane Lynch.
Jane's got it. She may have not won the Emmy.
But she's got our m VP. And that's what you really.
Mean, which is almost just as good if you have no other life goals. Okay, should we found on TikTok this week? Tell me it's really great so eb beetle dot mcbug on TikTok.
