I just had the chance to screen this coming “I am Unicorn”, this Tuesday’s episode of GLEE. There was a small (very small) part of me that didn’t want to watch the episode early as it meant that I would have to wait that much longer for episode 3. But I quickly got over that and pressed PLAY.
Before we get started…
My fellow die-hard GLEEks are a passionate bunch, this I know. So I think it’s only fair to set your expectations that this post – in the words of Quinn Fabray - is all about the teasin’ and not necessarily the pleasin’. While I hope to share a few tidbits that will get you more excited about next week’s episode I’m not about spoiling major plot points for you.
If you are the type of fan that is going to be annoyed with me for not spilling everything there is to know, (yes, I’m talking to those of you on Tumblr who wanted to kill my first born earlier today) then it’s probably best that you NOT read this and just wait to watch the episode yourself on Tuesday.
On the other hand, if you are a fan that has a wavering line when it comes to what constitutes a spoiler, then you might want to stay away too as it’s not my intention to ruin the episode in any capacity for you.
With those caveats and disclaimers out of the way, let’s talk about “I Am Unicorn”.
There are only three musical numbers in this week’s episode. I’m not going to name the songs here, but GLEE has already released all three tunes and they are available online if you’re interested in listening to them. I can tell you that the two solos are performed by Kurt and Blaine, during their auditions for ‘West Side Story’. The final song is a duet between Rachel and Shelby. While all three performances are spectacular, the Lea Michele/Idina Menzel song blew my bobbysocks right off! For me, it was one of the single best musical moments of GLEE to date.
Shelby is back. And she has Beth with her (which really shouldn’t be spoiler to most given that she is her adoptive mother). Shelby’s return has a direct impact on the behavior of Quinn and Puck. Dianna Agron and Mark Salling have some of their best scenes to date.
To me there are a few things better than a Burt/Kurt heart-to-heart chat. If you dig this fantastic father/son relationship then you won’t be disappointed.
It will be revealed, with no uncertain terms, whether Blaine Anderson is a Junior or a Senior. The aforementioned Tumblr threats I received were directly related to this tease. If you’re a fan of Blaine/Darren there really isn’t a downside to his grade status. If he’s a senior then maybe he will ride off into the sunset (and into a spinoff) with Kurt post graduation. If Blaine is a junior then we have Darren Criss in our living rooms every week on GLEE for all of next year. Either way…win! (And someone else has already spoiled it online, so go find it.)
For those of you who follow Chris Colfer on Twitter, this is the week he does some of those death-defying stunts he tweeted about. And if you know of one of Chris’s unique off-screen (and dangerous) talents, then be prepared to see him demonstrate his skills on the episode this week.
Mike Change in a tank top. Sleep on that visual until Tuesday.
Did you know Finn has a job? He does and we will see him at work. We will also see Rachel visit him at work. It’s nice to see those two adorably in love and smooching again. (You know, at the appropriate time rather than on stage in front of hundreds.)
Be prepared for a very heated moment between Will and Quinn. Becky wasn’t the only one that thought it was HOT!
You will hear Kurt Hummel like you have NEVER heard him before. And I’m not talking about a song and dance number.
Brittany and Santana share a sweet scene. I know there is a contingent of you that just wants to see them get it on, but there is something fantastic about small moments, too.
Again, I don’t want to spoil major plotlines, but if you heard rumors about Shelby’s reason for coming to McKinley, then know the rumors are true. The reason for her arrival make me want to roll my eyes something fierce.
This week’s episode ends on something of a cliffhanger. An emotional cliffhanger.
So that’s that.
I may be open to answering some questions from the comments below, but I can’t promise to answer them all, and I won’t answer anything that might be considered a major spoiler for others.
Dare I say it…the comments are open.
