In Short: All the graduating seniors come to terms with their post-graduation plans.
Recommended: Hell, yes!
BLAINE: You know how hard long distance relationships can be. We both saw The Notebook!
This episode performs a “switcheroo” on us very well. Maybe too well. The Glee Club has just won Nationals, the seniors are about to graduate, and most importantly, everyone is happy. So, this episode should, by all reasonable measure, be a gentle walk toward the season’s end. And the weird thing …

In Short: As Kurt and Rachel worry about their final auditions into NYADA, Coach Beiste is hit by her husband, Cooter.
Recommended: Hell? Yes.
BEISTE: I’m afraid that no one else will love me!
The opening of this episode really says it all. Rachel is preparing aggressively for her NYADA audition, and her funny neuroticism is on full display. She’s telling herself mantras about how she’s a star and not a ball of gas, floating around …
