Oh em Glee! I literally just finished this weeksâ all-new episode. My mind is a whirlwind, my heart is pounding, and inspired by the episode, Iâm currently wearing a tiara. (Side-Note: I love my job.) âFeudâ was filled with so many amazing moments that itâs arguably one of the best episodes of the season. Get excited Glee-bees, because Iâm about to fill you in on everything you may have missed (and more!) from âFeud.â
So Hereâs What You Missed On Glee
RELATED: âGleeâ Recap: All Your Favorite Movies in One Emotional Episode
(Former) Student v. Teacher: The episode opens and we see three stern-faced Glee seniors â" Artie, Tina and Blaine â" sitting in front of Will and Finn recalling the tension-filed moments theyâve witnessed over the past few weeks. From an unnecessary coffee run, to making Finn fetch his vests from the dry cleaner, and then belittling his former best man in front of the entire Glee club â" Itâs clear that Will is still absolutely furious at Finn for kissing Emma. (Side-Note: Okay yes, I acknowledge the fact that kissing someoneâs fiancé is not okay, but we know that it wasnât done out of passion or malice â" Finn just freaked out and didnât know what to do. If I was hysterically panicking and a hottie kissed me on the lips, thatâd definitely do the trick.)
Finn finally explodes, âI canât take it any more! Itâs bad enough youâre treating me like your lackey but Iâm not going to sit here while you fake compliment Ryder just to hurt me!â (Side-Note: I love how Finn hesitated before he kicked over that music stand. You know that when Glee club rehearsal ended, he probably just snuck back in there and picked up all the papers, and put them back in a nice stack because heâs sweet like that.) The seniors declare that for the first time in Glee club history the students are giving the teachers an assignment: epic musical feuds!
In the auditorium, Will is determined to take his aggression out through song, but Finn has a better, more mature suggestion: âWe could just talk.â Will finally agrees saying that the only reason he put Finn in charge of the glee club is because he took pity on him. Will snarls, âSo I put all this trust in you so you could get back on your feet and what do you do? You betray me in the worst way possible⦠so start thinking of some of the nastiest music feuds you can come up with because we are doing this assignment, and Iâm going to kick your ass.â (Side-Note: Did anyone else just get kinda hot and bothered? No? Just me? Okay thenâ¦)

Will and Finn have decided to portray two of the 90âs hottest feuding boy-bands: âN Sync and The Backstreet Boys. As the music starts, the girls go wild, and the two former friends launch into a mashup of âBye Bye Byeâ and âI Want It That Way.â (Side-Note: My ovaries are currently on overdrive. â90s music, mixed with angry Mr. Schue and smooth-moves Finn? Swoon is definitely an understatement right now.) The song ends and Finn is ready to hug out their differences but Will is not ready to let go. So Finn decides to be the bigger man and kindly says, âFor whatever itâs worth, thanks for everything.â
At night, Finn is clearing out his things from his office and Marley shows up to give him a card and to thank him for everything he has done for her. She then bluntly says the best advice ever, âDude, you really need to grow a pair.â Marley encourages Finn to ignore the fact that Mr. Schue does not want him to teach the glee club anymore. She says if he really wants to be a teacher, then the answer is clear: go be one. (Side-Note: Attention Finn-lovers! I think our fella may have finally just realized his dream. Cue the applause!)
NEXT: A Cheertastrophy and Internet Insanity!
A Cheertastrophy: Coach Sue calls Blaine into her office and reveals that when he joined the cheerios earlier that year â" for one episode that is â" he signed a contract. Although the signature is a fake, Sue claims that she needs a âshining, non-threatening gay to hoist up some of the most gorgeous girls in America, over his head, have a birds-eye view of their baby oven and not be remotely interested.â
Blaine politely declines the offer and the camera finally pans over to reveal that Tina has been sitting there the whole time. She politely tells Sue, âIf you need me back, I guess I can do it.â Unfortunately for Tina, Sue quickly squashes her suggestion snapping, âYouâre dismissed, go find a new boyfriend maybe Lance Bass is available or RuPaul.â (Side-Note: Oh my gosh I feel so bad but I canât stop laughing! I love Tina so much and even though Iâm giggling right now, Iâm still beyond bummed that she hasnât really had the spotlight this season.)
Sue tells Blaine that if he does not re-join the Cheerios then she is going to make his life a living hell â" and she means it! Not only does Sue gift Blaine, with cement-based hair gel, she also stole his identity, ruined his credit, and worst of all she hired a plane to pull a sign across the sky that reads, âBlaine is on the bottom.â (Side-Note: Thatâs not funny. At all. Iâm actually pretty pissed right now. I donât want to go into a whole rant about it, but this is one of the most offensive and degrading things that Glee has ever done to one of their characters and the fact that they are trying to pass it off as a light-hearted joke is just disgusting.)

The two decide to battle it out as Nikki Minaj and Mariah Carey and Blaine begins a sweet â" yet slightly boring â" rendition of âI Still Believe.â Coach Sue then takes the stage with her crew of blonde wig-wearing Cheerios and raps out, âSuper Bass.â Her performance also includes a black light, hot pink feathers and plenty of smiles. (Side-Note: Does anyone else cringe when Coach Sue smiles? It seems un-natural. Like when girls say, âPssh! Iâm not scared of spiders!â Sure. Whatever hun, we all know youâre lying!)
By a show of hands, Coach Sue overwhelmingly wins the Diva-off and Blaine is forced to be a full-fledged, uniform-wearing member of the cheerios. But little does Coach Sue know, this was all apart of the plan. Blaine smiles at Sam revealing, âIâm going to work from the inside and bring her down. By the time we graduate Sue Sylvesterâs reign of terror will finally be over!â( Side-Note: Do what you gotta do Blaine â" but it needs to be said: You look mighty fine in that uniform.)

Internet Insanity: Over in the library, Ryder is getting his flirt on⦠with a computer. Thatâs right, our dear dyslexic Ryder is typing away on those keys and pretending that heâs on a hot date with some cyber-chick. âKatieâ is the âperfektâ girl to Ryder â" she likes bears, French fries and considered them to be soul mates even though theyâve only known each other for a week. (Side-Note: Okay who else thinks Ryderâs about to be Catfished?!)
Ryder reveals to his new online crush that earlier that day Unique came up to him and verbally bitch-slapped him for kissing Marley. Ryder just stood there, channeling his inner jock and called Unique a âdudeâ â" a term to which she took great offense to. Ryderâs keyboard companion suggests that he and Unique settle their feud through song.
Over in the hallway, itâs clear that tensions are still high between Marley and Jake. Little Puckeman reveals that Marley should have discouraged Ryderâs flirtations and not just brushed them aside. The two share a mature conversation and with a flutter of Marleyâs eyes, and all is forgotten. However Jake is not quite ready to forgive his former best friend.
Marley sweetly states, âDo you trust me? Do you believe that I love you? Then it doesnât matter who we talk to because no matter where I am, or what Iâm doing, Iâm with you.â (Side-Note: Squee! I love them. And I love that Glee did not rip them apart just yet. I also love all the little smiles that creep across Jakeâs face. He looks like heâs a four-year-old whoâs trying to keep a secret.)
RELATED: âGleeâ Recap: Divas, Delusion, and Devastation
In the choir room, the music stars and a mashup of âThe Bitch is Back/Dress You Upâ fills the choir room as Ryder and Unique musically battle it out in front of everyone. (Side-Note: Unique is like 19 kinds of fierce in this performance and I love it! Fun-Fact: Alex Newell is exactly like that in person and every time we get together she brings out my inner diva and itâs amazing.)
The song continues and Unique passes out the most lovely party-favors ever: tiaras! (Side-Note:Those who follow me on twitter, know that I LOVE sparkly things, and tiaras are my favorite accessory. So basically right now itâs like the universe is kissing me on the cheek by mixing my two favorite things together.) When the song finishes, Unique is ready to end their feud as long as Ryder admits that she is a girl. Ryder scoffs, âLook Iâm just so confused. Yesterday you were dressed as a boy, today youâre a girl. What bathroom do you use? Make up your mind.â
Unique storms off and Jake says what everyone was thinking, âYou are a douchebag dude. In this room we can be whatever we want to be.â (Side-Note: I was about to say a joke about how Brittany can be a unicorn if she wants, but⦠what the hell?! Whereâs Brittany?? And Sugar?! Oh my gosh! They must be checking on the time machine!! So happy right nowâ¦)
Ryder is once again talking with his Internet lady and she helps him realize that he was being an insensitive ass to Unique. (Side-Note: My words, not hers.) She then asks for another shirtless pic from Ryder and he instantly sends over a heart-filled photo from the Men of McKinley calendar. (Side-Note: Red flag! Red flag!! This girl cannot be trusted Ryder! Just because she constantly puts xâs and oâs at the end of her sentences does not mean that sheâs a cute teenager. Creepy men trolling the Internet can easily add type sweet nothings into a chat room. Back away and run like hell!)

Unique, Marley and Jake are all waiting in a classroom and we find out Ryder asked them all to get together. He apologizes to Marley for kissing her, to Jake for kissing his girl, and to Unique for being insensitive. Unfortunately, Unique had a horrible experience the other day when she was walking home from school. A group of popular girls chased after Unique calling her horrible names like, âLady freak,â and bullied her with their laughter.
Marley, Jake, and Ryder agreed that they would walk Unique home everyday from now on. Kitty walks into the classroom saying she wants to do the same because believe it or not theyâre friends. (Side-Note: God I love Kitty, I love Becca Tobin more, but Kitty is definitely a close second.)Â The Glee newbies then declare that they need to stick together, stop the fighting, and step up their game because next year itâs going to be up to them to lead the New Directions when the seniors have graduated. (Side-Note: Woah! Thatâs so weird to think about. Can you imagine the halls of McKinley without any of our originals walking around? Ugh I just got the chills and I donât like this revelation one bit.)
NEXT: The Hottest Ass-Kicking of 2013!
Lies and Deceit: Cut to the New York side of things and we see that Santana is thumbing through some magazines in a clinic waiting room. (Side-Note: And looking all kinds of awesome in those boots I should add.) Rachel emerges into the room and whispers, âFalse alarm. Iâm so happy, Iâm so glad that this is all over with,â and the two friends share a sweet embrace. Rachel smiles, thanks Santana for taking her, and announces that sheâs going skip on over to class. Not so fast little one!
Santana tells our little blueberry (Side-Note: Rachel looks awesome in that bright blue sweater â" get it?) that she canât just pretend that this never happened. âThis is a wake-up call, this is an opportunity for you to take a hard look at the choices that you are making and where your life is heading. Starting with donkey face.â (Side-Note: Hmm. I totally got it last week when she called him âPlastic Manâ but donkey face? True heâs yucky, deceitful, conceited, moronic, and all wrong for Rachel, but letâs be real, heâs not terrible to look at. Worst/best compliment ever, am I right?)
Over in a super swanky hotel we see that Brody introduces himself as âGunnerâ and he looks a roomful of sad and sexually-challenged cougars who have resorted to paying men in exchange for intimacy. (Side-Note: Ahem. *Leanne clears her throat* Ladies and Gleeks, itâs officially official: Brody is a money-grubbing, old lady-pleasing, possibly STD-walking hoe foâ sho!) In an attempt to make us feel bad for him, Brody reveals to another male escort that he needs this job to pay for his tuition. (Side-Note: Um no sorry. Then get a job at Starbucks, or a bar, or Abercrombie! â" God knows youâd fit right in and you donât even have to wear a shirt there! But donât give us this B.S. that you need to be a hooker to get through NYADA.)
Brody then breaks into a tango-filled rendition of âHow to Be a HeartBreakerâ and seductively dances around with a woman who is looking like she is ready to lick his face at any moment. (Side-Note: I think this goes without saying, but I feel like I should clarify something for my younger readers: Prostitution is never the answer little ones! Please and thank youâs to remember to keep your lady bits to yourself.) And while Brody is accepting money from a Real Housewife-wannabe, Rachel is over in the loft singing along to the song, and pondering her true feelings.
RELATED: âGlee' Recap: Scandals, Shocks And Sadie Hawkins
Santana enters the loft and sees that Brodyâs stuff is still there, meaning that Rachel has not reevaluated her life choices. Rachel claims that Brody explained everything and heâs working as a cater-waiter, but he was just too embarrassed to admit it. Unfortunately for Rachel, Santanaâs âpsychic Mexican third eyeâ is never wrong.
Santana confronts her saying, âI went to school with Rachel Berry, not this soggy mess of a woman that stands before me today going back and forth between your flop high school ex and that terrifying waiter with a pager. You need to stop and focus Berry.â (Side-Note: God I love Santana. This is exactly what my best friend and I do for each other. We tell each other, âMirrorâ and then we reveal the brutal and honest truth to each other no matter how harsh it is. Itâs the best way to get someone to see herself clearly. Love you best!) Santana then sneaks into the bathroom and steals Brodyâs sexy-time pager.
Over at NYADA, Brody is teaching one of Cassieâs dance classes (Side-Note: Wait, so is she like gone for good? I didnât even get to say goodbye!) when Santana magically appears in the doorway. Brody hurls a sling of insults at our Lima Heights lady, but she quickly adds to his list saying, âAnother thing I am: a hardcore friend. Rachel and Kurt are my family and I can smell your sketchy-ness from here. So let me tell you how itâs going to be. Youâre going to move out of our apartment tonight or I can dig a little deeper and destroy you.â
RELATED: âGleeâ Recap: A Hot Mess Of Holiday Cheer
Santana then launches into a sexually charged, and perfectly choreographed version of âCold Hearted.â (Side-Note: Everyone needs to stop what youâre doing!! Queen Naya is performing and flipping and gyrating and being practically perfect in every way.) She tells Brody to packs his bags and then walks out of the room like the devilish diva that we all know and love. Later that evening in the loft, Santana excitedly announces that she got a job at the Coyote Ugly bar. (Side-Note: Wanky!)
Kurt and Rachel tell Santana that they want her to move out and Miss Lopez launches into 30 seconds of pure verbal gold which I am now going to type out for you because it was that amazing: âOlsen twins let me tell you something: I have known you both for years, and I donât like either of you 90 perfect of the time. In fact, you wide-eyed, keen painting approach of life makes my teeth hurt and my breasts ache with rage. But you know what? I have love for you. Youâre my family and I havenât lied to you in months. Iâm smarter about other people than the both of you. You have to trust me.â Santa then steals Rachelâs comforter and Kurtâs pillow and leaves to go crash with Lena Dunham. (Side-Note: True Story.)
Over in another hotel room, Brody opens the door and walks into a dark room saying, âGood evening Vicky.â As he flips on the lights, he sees that âVickyâ is actually a smug-looking Santana. (Side-Note: Santana is flawless. That is all. The end.) Brody quickly begs, âYou canât tell Rachel please. I am not proud of this.â Santana quickly counters, âSave it. I think thereâs someone more important that you should convince tonight.â All of the sudden, a furious-looking Finn walks out of the bathroom. (Side-Note: Oh. My. God. Itâs official: Smoldering eyes Finn is now my favorite kind of Finn. Ever.)
RELATED: âGleeâ Recap: Second Chances And New Romances
The Final Five: Brody quickly tries to explain himself but Finn doesnât want to hear it. Finn calmly and quietly tells Brody, âShut your mouth. After tonight, youâre a ghost. You disappear from her life forever. No goodbyes, nothing.â Brody fumbles saying that he loves Rachel, but Finn has an answer for that one too: âBut she doesnât even really know who you are. Yet.â Brody grabs Finnâs collar and tells him not to tell Rachel the truth, but clearly this was a very dumb move.
Without hesitating, Finn punches Brody square in the jaw. (Side-Note: This is the best scene. EVER. Yes, I understand that violence is never the answer, but I totally understand Finnâs outrage. The girl heâs in love with doesnât know that her new boyfriend is a dirty, narcissistic, prostitute. I think that deserves a punch in the face, donât you?)
The two men get into a full-on brawl in the hotel room and practically destroy everything in their path. Finn gets one last punch in before screaming at Brody through his furiously clenched jaw, âStay away from my future wife!â (Side-Note: Holy freakinâ hell! That was the sexiest, most wonderfully amazing sentence that has ever been uttered in the history of Glee. You canât tell me that didnât make you squeal with delight and then swoon from Finnâs knight-in-shining armor behavior. Iâve said it before and Iâll say it again: Finn Hudson: Out-shining all other men on TV since 2009.) This time Finn didnât hesitate when he kicked over the mini-fridge when he stormed out of the room.
Back in Lima, the New Directions are having a la-dee-daa time singing, âCloser,â and Ryder asks his cyber sweetheart if the can meet. She then promptly signs offline without answering and he is left looking dumbfounded. (Side-Note: But letâs be real, weâre all still in a daze from that testosterone-filled tussle. Rather than watching the Glee kids end the episode with yet another âLook at us weâre friends again!â song, Iâm just going to re-watch what Iâm now declaring: The Hottest Ass-Kicking of 2013.)
Most Heartwarming Moment: Watching Finn scream, âStay away from my future wife!â to Brody and realizing that Finchel is far from over.
Most Heartbreaking Moment: Seeing those girls, torment Unique on her walk up. Stand up to bullying and donât ever let this happen to any of your friends!
