Glee Review: Preggers

The latest episode of Glee opts to forgo a marquee song performance, and instead focuses on character and plot developments, but it's far from a bad thing. In fact, it's a great thing. The episode delivers more plot pieces that can last through the whole season, and delivers some absolutely hysterical moments. The biggest focus this week is on Kurt (Chris Colfer). After his dad catches him dancing to Beyonce's Single Ladies, he lies about being the kicker on the football team. This act prompts him to ask a favor of Finn (Cory Monteith). Channeling the Beyonce rhythm, Kurt actually makes the team, proving to be the only student who can put the ball between the goalposts, even if he does need to dance before kicking.

Since the football team is so terrible, Finn gets the idea that maybe they all need to loosen up more if they want to win, and suggests they all take dance lessons. What ensues is the team performing a choreographed dance sequence to, yep, you guessed it, Single Ladies before a last second play. It's a good one to two minutes of pure, hysterical entertainment. With the game on the line, it comes down Kurt to win one for the team and make his dad proud.

Now, getting back to the title of the episode (this is a SPOILER), "Preggers" does not directly refer to Will's (Matthew Morrison) wife. Quinn (Dianna Agron), the president of the celibacy club, is pregnant! Finn has no clue what to do, and he seeks Will for counsel.

The other big storyline continues to be Rachel's (Lea Michele) need to be the star. Will wants to spread the solo's around to boost everyone's confidence, something Rachel very much dislikes. She wants the starlight, and she still feels Will is punishing her for her outburst during last weeks episode, prompting her to question her commitment to the club.

Verdict: Though the episode is another plot mover instead of a musical show-stopper, it is probably the funniest episode of Glee so far. ☆☆☆☆
