Ok, but I’m coming back to this cause @pipgraham and I had a 10min convo and we basically wrote an entire episode in that time, I’m pretty sure that’s exactly how the glee writer’s room operated.
- The theme this week will be ‘Silence’. At the start of the episode Mercedes tries belting out one of her solos and her voice cracks, they’re were relying on her performance for regionals.
- Shue orders her to be silent to save her voice, and as a team building exercise the team should stay silent too, Rachel protests and Finn has the great idea to sing songs with silence in the title all week, so everyone can be happy.
- There’s a bunch of new students who are all ‘siblings’ at the school. Quinn and Artie are convinced they’re in a cult.
- Shue aggressively tries to recruit them in case Mercedes can’t perform at regionals. When they politely decline he corners their father Carlisle, who is the new school nurse and preaches the merits of music to him.
- Only Edward auditions in the end and his tortured rendition of ‘Behind blue eyes’ in Gregorian chant moves Mr Shue to tears, Tina is quaking in her shoes (her vampire fetish is stirred), Mike is not happy.
- Shue has the galaxy brain idea to do Gregorian chants for the competition, cause it’s never been done before and will blow everyone away.
- They’ll wear sparkly gold robes and sing ‘Sound of silence’ (taking their hoods off for the second song: ‘Shut up’ by the black eyed peas).
- Sue and Shue are arguing in Emma’s office (Sue insists the siblings are clearly jocks and belong in the Cheerios or something along those lines, never mind the fact that only Edward joined any team in the first place), because of the shouting, it comes to light that Emma is dealing with auditory input issues.
- Shue stews on this for most of the episode and later he and Sue sing ‘Enjoy the silence’ to Emma. Shue gives her a ‘silence kit’: earplugs, noise cancelling headphones, and ‘So noise hurts your brain’-pamphlets that he printed himself, Emma is very impressed - this is the woke part of the episode.
- Tina is convinced Edward is a vampire and she wants him to turn her too, she sings ‘Chasing Cars’ by Snow Patrol to him.
- Mike is co-lead at regionals with Edward cause he wants to impress Tina, it’s a lot of tension during rehearsals and she’s super into it, we get a glimpse of her notebook doodles spelling out Tina Cullen-Chang under a drawing of Edward and Mike kissing shirtless.
- Rachel tries to show Mercedes and Mike how to warm their voices up properly and gets Kurt to sing ‘Fix you’ with her, that’s when we realise Rachel can’t harmonise.
- Meanwhile Brittany drops random Twilight titbits; she’s seen Edward and his family playing baseball in the woods during a storm, her aunt who’s a realtor says they don’t have any bedrooms in their rented house, Lord Tubbington told her they can read minds.
- Santana starts wearing a cross and makes the sign for the evil eye whenever she sees Edward.
- Kurt wants to know about his skincare routine and gets upset cause Edward doesn’t want to tell him what he uses.
- After a controversial win at regionals, Edward and his family must leave, (they feel too exposed due to Edwards fame now).
- The glee club sings ‘Time to say goodbye’ in the auditorium for him, Tina is devastated and is sobbing throughout.
- The last scene is Finn bringing in the local newspaper with a group photo of them all holding the regionals trophy. Edward is just a sparkly blur.
