GLEE CLUB IS CURRENTLY a mess. After the (not so) devastating loss of Rachel, Mr Schue brought April Rhodes back. The woman never graduated high school, so she was technically eligible for the club. At first, nobody wanted her there (even after her show-stopping performance of Maybe This Time).

The students all brought up complaints about her to Mr Schue, so naturally, he tattled on them. Yes, he told April that they didn't like her and wanted her gone. The woman didn't want to lose her chance at high school stardom again, so she started planning. She made it her mission to get everybody to like her.

She approached Kurt first, bribing him with alcohol and magazines of men with ridiculously large muscles. She went after the boy's insecurities— his sexuality, which lead to his lack of confidence (the pictures of half-naked men helped too). Kurt was overjoyed, telling Mr Schue that April could stay.

The woman then set her eyes on Tina and Mercedes, who she taught how to shoplift. The girls were hesitant at first, but soon warmed up to the idea when they figured out they could steal jewellery. April gained two more "yes" votes that day.

To get the footballers on board, she started sleeping with them. Ugh, men were so easy. April made sure to walk down the hallway with all three footballers on her arm when Mr Schue was around, to show him that they all wanted her in the club.

The only person she couldn't convince was Courtney, who didn't fall for any of her tricks. The woman tried everything— from magazines to drugs, and finally, kissing. April Rhodes kissed her. The older woman thought she could buy Courtney's vote with a steamy make-out session. She was wrong. The girl immediately pulled away in disgust. No way was her first kiss going to be with someone like her. She wanted it to be special— with someone she trusted and loved.

Mr Schue got an earful out of Courtney for that one.

"Maybe Quinn is lactose intolerant," Kurt suggests. The glee clubbers (minus Courtney) were huddled around the piano, trying to figure out what was the root of Quinn's recent behaviour. She had been acting rather strange recently, with all the vomiting and mood swings.

"That doesn't explain all the crying," Artie points out. She had been crying a lot recently. The other day, Courtney asked her if she wanted to get ice cream and Quinn literally burst into tears, telling Courtney that she was so happy somebody can understand her needs. It was a little strange, but Courtney didn't question it. Everyone had their bad days.

"Maybe she just doesn't like the group," Tina chimes in, albeit a little sadly. The Asian was starting to like Quinn. She was actually pretty nice behind that untouchable exterior she puts up for the whole school. She even friended her on Facebook.

Hearing this, Puck rolls his eyes. "Are you all that stupid?" he asks them. The group turns to look at him, offended. Those words did not just come out of Noah Puckerman's mouth.
