The finale truly was amazing, with happiness, tears, and a bit of anticipated shock. The Glee Club, feeling unsure of themselves upon finding out Sue (Jane Lynch) is one of the judges at Regionals, have come to Will's (Matt Morrison) house to reminisce about the good times they've had in Glee Club. While the meeting was originally to choose the Regionals songs, they instead wind up in the depression and both Tina and Rachel are on the verge of crying. It isn't until as Will drives along the road that he hears Don't Stop Believing by Journey and remembers the beginning of Glee Club.
Rachel (Lea Michele) and Finn (Cory Monteith) meet on the stairwell and Finn tries to convince her that they need to still go to Regionals no matter if they lose or not, resulting in Rachel kissing Finn. They return to the choir room and are about to tell this to Will when he reminds them first of the journey they've gone through over the past year. He then tells them that they're going to Regionals and it doesn't matter if they win or lose, because winning doesn't matter, it's the journey they've been on that matters, and that they'll go to Regionals with a Journey medley.
Upon arriving at Regionals, the judges, which include Olivia Newton-John and Josh Groban, are introduced and another Glee club known as Aural Intensity perform a medley of Groban and Newton-John songs, causing New Directions to become worried once more. Thanks to a pep talk from Will and Rachel however, the club goes to the stage and performs a medley of Faithfully, Any Way You Want It/Lovin' Touchin' Squeezin', and Don't Stop Believing.
Following the amazing performance which gave me goosebumps, they return backstage where Quinn (Dianna Agron) runs into her mother, who tells her she kicked Quinn's father out of the house for having an affair. Her mother tells her how proud she is of Quinn and asks her to come home, when Quinn tells her that her water just broke.
When we return to the show, Vocal Adrenaline are performing Bohemian Rhapsody. It's quite a chilling performance though because they blend it with Quinn in labour at the hospital, even going so far as to have Quinn yelling "Mama" "Let me go", and "No, no, no, no" in time with the song. It was quite an amusing way of doing the scene.
Rachel and Shelby (Idina Menzel), the Vocal Adrenaline coach and Rachel's mother, meet once more in VA's dressing room. Rachel tells Shelby that Vocal Adrenaline in no way will have won and asks her to come to McKinley to co-direct with Will. Shelby declines however, stating she wants to start a life because she never got to and lost her chance to have a family with Rachel now that she's grown up. Shelby asks Rachel where the rest of the Glee club is, and Rachel responds that they're at the hospital and Quinn had a baby girl.
The show returns to see the Glee Clubs waiting for the announcement, while backstage Sue and the judges talk about who should win. While Sue originally comes in wanting New Directions to lose, she winds up changing her mind when the other judges (Newton-John and Rod Remington, the local newscaster) start bashing the kids and also her. However, when on stage she announces that Vocal Adrenaline won, with Aural Intensity as runners-up, meaning that New Directions didn't even place much to my shock yet at the same time I somewhat anticipated it what with there being two more seasons already in the works.
Following the loss, Will comes upon Emma (Jayma Mays) yelling at Principal Figgins over having given the Glee club space already to another group, as the deal was if Glee club lost Regionals, the club would be shut down. Emma then yells at Will saying how unfair it is, and Will asks if she's doing it for the kids which she responds she is, but Will rebuffs saying it's also for them, and then kisses her, telling her their relationship isn't over. Rachel appears and asks Will to come to the auditorium where the entire club tells him that even if the practices are over, Glee club will never be over because Will is Glee Club and tells him how much he meant to each of them. While it is a bit of a sappy moment, it still is touching however as they sing Lulu's "To Sir, With Love". It ends with Sue being seen watching at the doorway, tearing up.
Will is then seen packing up the Glee choir room when Sue arrives to what can only be predicted as gloating over Glee club's end. It is a surprise however when Sue tells Will that she couldn't live without taunting Will and so Glee club got one more year thanks to Sue blackmailing Figgins once again. Will thanks Sue, telling her she really does have a heart, to which she retorts that if Will doesn't let go she's going to vomit all over Will.
Will then gathers the Glee Club and tells them they got another year which causes the club to erupt in cheers. Will then sings "Over the Rainbow" with Puck (Mark Salling) accompanying. We watch as the Glee club members start holding hands, and having fun as usual. We also are given a treat to see Shelby with Quinn's new baby, Beth, having adopted her. The song then ends, as does the episode.
That's basically the episode for you, I don't know if it was a Hollywood type review but I still had to write about it. Autism-wise nothing happened today, so I hope you enjoyed this change from the norm :)
Night everyone!
