Rachel gets a callback for her Funny Girl audition, and the glee club reconnects through Marley’s original songs.
This week on Glee, the aftermath of the school shooting incident has everyone going a little crazy.
The theme for regionals is “Dreams,” and Mr. Schue (Matthew Morrison) thinks the club should play it safe and go with the classics. The glee kids have a different opinion, however. They want to take a more modern approach, and Marley wants to sing one of her original songs. Mr. Schue shoots down the ideas though, even going so far as getting angry with the club. He won’t listen to their opinions.
That doesn’t stop Marley from sharing her songs. Blaine, Unique and Sam love her songs so much they encourage her to share them with everyone. Marley doesn’t want to because Mr. Schue shot down the idea. Unknown to the group, Mr. Schue overhears the conversation.
