Glee's back and although we're all happy to have their music back into our lives again, there's some sadness attached that comes after Cory Monteith's sudden passing back in July. It's almost impossible to imagine Glee without Finn, and although the first episode tried to take our minds away from the sad plot line, we all know it's coming in the third episode. This new season kicked off with Rachel at her Broadway audition for Funny Girl, where she had a great Barbra Streisand impression but didn't seem to impress the director, who thought she was still a bit green.
After hearing the news, the scene transitioned into the opening number of the season, "Yesterday." The song becomes layered and heartbreaking, specially when you stop to think about what the song means, and the emotional circumstances Lea Michele is going through in her personal life. It was as if the show was predicting the entire season with just one song. Although she didn't get her gig on Broadway, Rachel gets a job at a singing diner with Santana, where they perform "Hard Day's Night" in front of the producers who were auditioning her, who happened to be having dinner at that same restaurant.
Moving on from Rachel, there seems to be a little fire getting bigger and bigger between Artie and Kitty. The two have a brief courtship that included musical numbers "Drive My Car" and "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away," and in the end, he got the girl, which kinda made Tina a little jealous, but the glee club boys, in an effort to make her feel better, perform "I Saw Her Standing There," and Blaine, Sam and Ryder then offer themselves as potential prom date. In the end she chooses Sam because he's the "least gay and least Asian." Sometimes it's good to switch things up.
While all of this is taking place, Sue Sylvester is plotting her way back to the top of McKinley High. After stuffing Principal Figgins' office with a secret stash of "gay porn foot fetish" magazines, a signed fracking contract and an autographed copy of Hitler's "Mein Kampf," she's back in as interim principal while Figgins is demoted to janitor. After getting her new title, she changes her name to Sue Rodham Sylvester - "I had it legally changed as of this morning" - and threatens Will Schuester and rival coach Roz Washington that they will be kicked out of the school if their teams don't win a championship.
Now, in Kurt and Blaine news, the duo is back together! While they have a picnic date on courtyard steps, Blaine convinces Kurt to try things again with him for real and after agreeing, and before Blaine could burst into a song, Kurt stops him and performs his own number, "Got to Get You Into My Life." Not wanting to let him get away again, Blaine seeks help from all rival glee clubs to plan something extra special. He uses "Help" to get everyone on track, including Kurt's dad, Burt. The episode concludes with an over the top production of "All You Need Is Love/She Loves You," with Blaine and Kurt surrounded by everyone they love, at the stairs of Dalton, where they first met, and Blaine getting down on one knee.
"All I want to do, all I've ever wanted to do, is spend my life loving you," Blaine said. "So, Kurt Hummel, my amazing friend, my one true love. Will you marry me?" And thankfully, this episode ended on a happy note. Kurt said yes!
