Glee - 'Swan Song'

We're back from cliffhanger!! And my self-imposed hiatus!!!
So everyone's freaking out, since Marley fainted, (Santana rigthfully points the finger at Kitty), and that means the Glee club is disqualified (total BS, I might add, considering they were concerned about the health of a team member) and the Warblers have won. So Finn is all freaked out and Sue is all happy, of course.
Rachel thinks Finn losing her is an even bigger loss than losing Sectionals for the club (get over yourself girl!) and she and Kurt are talking about the 'golden tickets' that Carmen Thibideau (not sure of the spelling of her weird name) gived out to 10 students every year to perform in the Winter Showcase, and of course Rachel gets one, because she's oh-so-special, la-di-dah. 
Rachel, this is your high horse. Get off of it.
Now Sue is doing what Sue does best, being a bitch, and she and her Cheerios take over and DESTROY the choir room because it's her new practise space now, and she threatens to run over their Nationals trophy with her LeCar (I still laugh every time she says that) and Finn says 'over my dead body' and grabs it and they do one of those things where they're going to hold onto it forever and march, both holding it, into Figgins' office.
Finn has to symbolically hand over the keys to the choir room and tell the kids that Glee club is over for the year - and she thinks that all the kids are going to go crazy and get into trouble. Then Brad the piano guy marches into her office and yells that he's so happy Glee club is over because the kids always just point to him and go 'hit it' hahah that guy never talks!!!
The kids are unhappy, but don't even want to do a Christmas concert because they aren't motivated anymore.
Britney finds a line of Cheerios on the floor and decides eating it is a good idea... She follows them into a room where Sam is waiting because apparently she forgets to eat breakfast on Tuesdays because the first few days of the week confuse her hahahah... But then he tells her that he really likes her and wants to do a love song with her she she goes:
'Is that why the band's here?'
and then they sing (I don't really like the way she was singing, it was really low and weird) and he wants to kiss her but she says that 'all the lesbians of the world will attack you so I can't do it' -.- Right.
Back to NYC, Rachel is in dance class and asks if she can get a sip of water, but of course Cassie gets all pissy over it, asking if Rachel thinks she can keep up with one of the other girls in the Showcase, and Rachel is all 'I've kept up with you' SHUT YOUR MOUTH GIRLY OMG SHE'S GONNA SLAP YOU!!! Unfortunately, Cassie didn't, but then they decide to have a dance-off to 'All that Jazz' from Chicago. And Cassie calls her a 'platypus'. HA!
Yea, I see the resemblance.
Plus Rachel's dancing routine seemed way easier than the stuff Cassie was doing, but who can blame her when she spends so much time on her hair in the morning, rather than practising dance. And she says she's a better singer than Cassie and Cassie says 'there's a big difference between self-confidence and delusion'. POW! She's full of good zingers today...
Kurt goes to visit Carmen and asks her what she thought of his submission, and she said he was talented but lacking in depth and such... Then she says that she rarely gives anyone a second chance and I say 'LIES!!' because she gave Rachel like 4 chances and then rewarded her for being a pain in the ass!!
The club has split up and joined other clubs - Artie the marching band, Tina and Blaine the Cheerios, Ryder and Jake the basketball team, Unique the floor-hockey-on-rollerskates team, and Joe the interfaith paintball team - 'where Christians, Jews and Muslims can shoot at each other safely' AHAHAHAHAHAHA
Then Finn guilt-trips them about ditching glee, the auditorium schedule is divided up into 6-minute blocks, and Tina blames Marley for their loss, and Britney decides to give Sam (who has an entire rack of lip balm in his locker, of course!) a second chance at a date - and a kiss :)
Speaking of kisses, Rachel is about to perform, and Brodie comes up to her and tells her good luck and she tells him that she's so ugly but she sings better than everyone else in the world
GTFO THAT HORSE
She says she's gonna sing like she'll never get the chance again, and then she kisses him and says (basically) 'YOLO!' making me dislike her even more -.-
And Kurt interrupts them by saying 'as sympathetic as I am to this particular moment in the rom-com, you're on next!' and she goes and sings a song about 'I am gonna be the best of nothing at all' and I want to use that horse picture again but I might be overdoing it... And then she gets a standing ovation, because, well, she's Rachel and the world revolves around her. And then, in a completely cliche moment for a girl who likes to show off her voice, she sings 'O Holy Night' (shown to a heartbreaking montage of Finn clearing out the choir room) and everyone in the audience makes this face :O and gives her another standing ovation. And then I guess Carmen decided to give another second chance, because she says she's going to let Kurt perform at the Showcase - if he thinks he's ready.
He clearly doesn't think he's ready, he's pacing, red-faced, and freaking out. Then Rachel tells him he's the best (which I didn't think was possible, because she's the best!) and he decides to do it anyway, and looks super-tense and I don't know the song, but he looks sad and I think he's thinking about Blaine... Uh-oh I hope he doesn't start crying!! I can't handle those two when they cry!! And then Brody and Rachel decide to make the moment about them and start holding hands in the audience. And when he's done, everyone applauds and Carmen looks approving and there's a tear on his cheek.
Rachel decides she's gonna call Finn, cos that's EXACTLY what he needs right now, and she brags about winning the Showcase and tells him that he shouldn't let the kids give up on their dreams, and that they respect him, which isn't really true - they respected Mr Schue WAY more, which might be part of the reason they quit. Then Finn goes to the 9:54 rehearsal time he booked, and Marley's the only one who showed up, but she found a place they can rehearse!
Finn mass-emails everyone and the place she found is outside the school. In the snow, and I'm already freezing, so watching them shiver is making me more cold!!! Only Finn and Marley show up, but they start singing 'Don't Dream It's Over' and everyone else shows up singing along!! And Kurt got into NYADA!! So happy times for everyone!!!
