More from Korbi: 'Glee': Your questions, my answers on love, liars & musical numbers to come - KTV: Korbi TV - Zap2it
Quote:
I saw that you watched episodes 2 and 3 of “Glee” on a facebook post. You're soooooo lucky!!!!!!! I am a huuuuuuuuuuuge fan, and if you would not mind, could you give me detailed plots for both episodes? –Kevin
In ep 2 (titled “Showmance”), Mr. Schuester (Matthew Morrison) is told he must recruit more Glee Club members if he wants the group to survive, so he sets the kids up to perform the 1978 disco hit “Le Freak” at a school assembly. Apparently, it was super popular back in Schuester’s day. But Finn (Cory Monteith) and Rachel (Lea Michele), fearing the entire student body will laugh them out of the gym if they sing that “gay song,” hatch another plan. In the process, they end up getting closer… In ep 3 (titled “Preggers”), Kurt (Chris Colfer) -- yes, Kurt -- tries out for the football team to impress his dad. Also, Finn’s bitchy girlfriend Quinn (Dianna Agron) delivers some troubling news. But she’s a big liar. As is Schuester’s wife Terri (Jessalyn Gilsig).
Leamichele Do Rachel and Finn ever get together? –Jasneet
Well, Quinn is still Finn’s girlfriend in episode 3... and yet I’m not quite sure how to answer your question. Depends what you mean by “get together.”
Is there any growth in Emma and Will's friendship? –Elise
Indeed. Emma (Jayma Mays) and Will (aka Mr. Schuester) share more than a couple intimate scenes in the next two episodes. But they’re both good people. And Mr. Schuester is married, so… yeah.
Will Mr. Schuester divorce his wife Terri and hook up with Emma? –Megan
God, I hope so.
Do any Cheerios or football players join Glee? –Jasneet
Mhmmm
Chriscolfer Are there more layers and depth to the other members of the glee club (Artie, Tina, Mercedes and Kurt?) –Elise
Episode 3 revolves around a major Kurt storyline and it’s pretty awesome. Hilarious and heartwarming. And, I must say, I think Chris Colfer is going to be a breakout star.
What's on the soundtrack for each of the next two episodes? I know "Don't stop Believing" and "Rehab" were absolutely incredible, and I haven't stopped listening. Thanks so much!!! –Aaron
On tap: Hilarious interpretations of “Gold Digger” (Kanye) and “Push It” (Salt N Pepa), a heartbreaking rendition of “Take a Bow” (Rihanna), an unforgettable version of Beyonce’s “Single Ladies” (unforgettable because it plays a pivotal role in the storyline), plus “I Say A Little Prayer” (Burt Bacharach), “All By Myself” (Eric Carmen), “Tonight” from “West Side Story” and “The Money Song” from "Cabaret."

Every Heart Sings A Song: An Advance Review of Two Upcoming Episodes of FOX's "Glee"
"If I'm going to sing like someone else, then I don't need to sing at all." - Billie Holiday
Confession: I wasn't crazy about the pilot episode of FOX's Glee, which the network aired in May as a teaser for a full series launch, kicking off this fall on September 16th.
But I'm an open-minded guy. So when FOX invited me to screen two episodes of Glee that will air this fall--the season opener ("Showmance") and the series' third episode ("Preggers")--I happily accepted the invitation in order to see if the series had fallen more in line with my own expectations of what it should be like.
I'm happy to say that it has.
These two episodes of Glee, each written and directed respectively by series creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk, have a better balance of darkness and light, humor and pathos, and an abundance of dry wit that I found a better fit than the pilot episode. (Hell, it's rather hysterically raunchy at times.)
Which isn't to say that Glee strays into the bleakness of Nip/Tuck territory because it doesn't. Tonally, these two installments display a better balance of cheerfulness and angst than displayed in the pilot episode and it's a balance that better suits my own cynical vantage point.
Assisting in this delicate tightrope walk is the supremely talented Jane Lynch, who embodies the sinister Sue Sylvester with a, well, gleeful abandon. I felt that Sue was too shallowly drawn in the pilot and was bordering on cartoonish, but I take that back completely after seeing Lynch's bravura performance in these episodes. Her Sue Sylvester is a seething morass of complex emotions, bitter vendettas, imagined slights, and raw ambition.
Sue moves more towards the forefront of the series, becoming an even bigger celebrity in their small town (look for a local news spot on the benefits of caning) as she makes bare her own motivations for wanting so terribly to succeed. I won't give any specific plot points away but I will say that Sue complicates things not only for Matthew Morrison's Will Schuester but for the Glee Club as a whole and her path to their destruction takes an intriguing and Machiavellian route that brings back a face from the pilot in a rather unexpected way.
That is, if the Glee Club doesn't implode from within first. There are some new tensions within the group that threaten to derail the work that the kids and Will have attempted to achieve in such a short time and Sue masterfully preys on everyone's weaknesses with cunning precision. The effect not only reveals their shortcomings and fears but also further deepens the characters.
As for the kids, they have their own issues to work out, including some rivalries that begin to rear their ugly heads among several members of the group, even as they attempt to lure in some new members by using sex as a recruitment tool, culminating with the painfully hilarious use of Salt 'n Pepa's "Push It." (Yes, folks, this must be seen to be believed.)
Elsewhere, look for Chris Colfer's Kurt Hummel to steal the series in a major way and make it impossible for you to stop singing Beyonce's "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)" round the clock. I'm told that each episode of Glee will focus on a different character and I think that's a very good thing when you have as diverse an ensemble cast as this one. The third episode puts the emphasis squarely on Kurt and the result is a sweet, funny, and surprising installment involving unitards, football, and dance routines.
And Will has enough on his plate including a romantic rivalry with Ken Tanaka (Patrick Gallagher) over adorable OCD-prone counselor Emma Pillsbury (Jayma Mayes), a second job, his manic (and maniacal) wife Terri (Jessalyn Gilsig), and dissension in the ranks of New Directions.
Will, er, Will keep it together? Will New Directions fail to move forward? Will Sue's plots come to fruition? Is Terri nuttier than a fruitcake? That would be telling but suffice it to say that there are some rather unexpected twists to come, including some major shockers that will have people very surprised by what's still to come.
All in all, if these two upcoming installments are any indication, Glee has found its footing among some fancy footwork, imaginative obstacles, and a winning juxtaposition of dark comedy, teen angst, and a technicolored heightened reality where anything would seem to be possible. It's made a grinning Glee convert of me and I can't wait to see what happens next.
Glee returns to FOX this fall on September 16th.
