"Is it just me, or does it feel like we have a real shot at Regionals next month?" Mercedes asks as she, Kurt, Tina, and I walk down the hall while Tina pushes Artie

"The Ohio Show Choir chat rooms have all been buzzing about how Vocal Adrenaline has lost a step." Artie says

"I agree-- the judges know all of their tricks and now that we have Jesse, they've lost their best performer." Kurt says before Rachel appears in front of us

"You guys have to come to the auditorium-- it's an emergency!" She exclaims

We walk into the auditorium where I see the rest of the New Directions and Vocal Adrenaline is on the stage with Jesse

"Jesse? What are you doing up there with them?" Rachel asks as I walk over to Mike who drapes his arm over my shoulders

"I've transferred back to Carmel High, Rachel. I'm  sorry that it's come to this, but you guys were awful to me. You never accepted me, you never listened to my clearly superior ideas." Jesse says

"Why're you here in our auditorium?" Finn asks

"The blogs and the chat rooms say that we're  finished, and that you guys are ripe to topple us. We just wanted to show you a something we came up with a few days ago to see if you agree with that assessment." Jesse says

"Thanks for letting us borrow your auditorium, guys. It's quaint." A girl from Vocal Adrenaline says before they all walk off of the stage

"It's a Carmel High tradition. They psych out the competition a few weeks before the big show. They call it a funkification. Meaning they show us what they've got, and we spiral into a deep black funk." Artie says as we all walk towards the choir room

"Yeah. Yeah, we used to do the same thing to other  football teams. You know, try and get inside their head before a big game, pull little pranks to intimidate them." Finn says as Mike drapes his arm over my shoulders and pulls me into his side

"Yeah, well, the difference was our football team sucked. Those guys are golden." Puck says

"Come on, keep your heads up, guys. It's going to take more than that to get us into a funk." Kurt says before we all walk into the choir room only to see toilet paper everywhere

✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧

"I feel so violated. It's like someone broke into our home." Tina says as I toss a big wad of toilet paper into the trash can

"Look, it was just a lame little prank. And the fact that they're trying to get to us means maybe we got them spooked." Mr. Schue says

"Uh-uh, Mr. Schue. They aren't afraid of anything. That number they did was fantastic. You know, which doesn't make any sense. They had all that equipment. How did they even get in?" Mercedes asks before I see Coach Sue walk into the choir room with some people carrying the cheer trophies following behind her

"I gave 'em all keys. Helped them do a sound check over the weekend. Hey, this way, fellas. Let's punch out this wall here. That'll open up the space a little bit." Coach Sue says
