"Sorry, funny YouTube, its a grape-stomping one"
"Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow" the glee club warmed up
"The house is packed, you guys are going to kick butts tonight, your first performance in front of a real audience I cant wait you guys are going to love it, where's April?"
"Yee-haw right on cue as usual" April runs into the room "hey roller boy, handsome, oh I like that colour, have you been working on the moves we talked about" she slurred before moving to puck and kissing him "you've got something there, honk there's my boy"
"Are you drunk" Mr Schue asked "you promised me you'd sober up for this"
"When? last night? well I was drunk you cant hold me to that" April said before walking into the piano "hit it knuckles"

"And now ladies and gentlemen please welcome McKinley High Schools New Directions" Principle Figgins introduces
Last Name by Carrie Underwood Performed by the New Directions and April Rhodes
"They loved us, we are a hit" Artie says back in the choir room high fiving Mr Schue
"Where's April" Tina asked
"You were right Mr Schue she'd massacre Mariah in a diva-off" Kurt told him
"April is amazing but she's not in the glee club anymore" Mr Schue said and Enzo wasn't shocked, he was pretty sure she'd slept with puck, lets hope she's not pregnant "I uh I screwed up bringing her here, it was about me and glee club suppose to be about you guys, you don't need her to be great"
"But we need her for the second act" Mercedes spoke and she wasn't wrong, she was the lead they cant just not have a lead
"I'll just tell them we have to cut the show short, guys you were great" he tells the group noticing they're defeated faces "don't worry they're will be other performances"
"Excuse me" Rachel said walking into the room making Enzo groan "I think I might have a solution in show business when a star cant perform, her understudy steps in"
"And that's you, is it?" Enzo asks
"I'd be happy to go on for April" Rachel spoke choosing to ignore Enzo's comment
"Since when are you willing to be an understudy?" Mercedes asked
"Since I quit the play"
"Why?" Enzo asks
"I realised being a star didn't make me feel as special as being your friend" Rachel said "if I let you down when you needed me the most I'd never forgive myself, I know all the words to the song"
"You don't know the choreography" Quinn points out
"Were going to have to give her a lot of help out there" Finn spoke smiling at Rachel
"Go get in your costume" Mr Schue told her
Somebody to love by queen performed by the new directions

"Step, turn, out and it's ball-change step-ball-change, step you , you ,you ba,ba ,ba turn" Mr Schue told them the choreography whilst they were somewhat doing it "come on guys you're sleep-walking on me here give me some energy we've got sectionals in two-"
"Please sectionals is going to be a breeze" Mercedes told him
"Maybe so but if we coast through sectionals were going to get killed at regionals we have got to be on our game" Mr Schue said stopping when Kurt started spontaneously laughing
"Sorry, funny YouTube, its a grape-stomping one"
--------
"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, no, no, no" Rachel said watching the group dance
"Great news guys got the competition bracket for sectionals" Mr Schue said spinning Brittney "and we are in really good shape there's only two other teams if we beat them we make it to regionals" the team high fives each other
"Who are the other teams" Alessandra asked standing with the other cheerio's
"Drumroll, please, Finn" Mr Schue says
"School for the deaf in Dayton and some place called Jane Addams academy"
"Jane Addams? that's a halfway house for girls just getting out of juvie" Mercedes tells the group
"This is great" Tina stuttered
"People who can't hear and criminals who don't care its going to be a cakewalk" Artie said

"Competition" Mr Schue said in the choir room before moving to the board "every one of these people or elements was a champion in their own right but they used competing with each other to make themselves even better"
"I don't understand what lighting is in competition with an above ground swimming pool" Kurt spoke
"Or a bear with the white guys" Enzo added
"Just go with it" Mr Schue said waving them off "you guys have become complacent, you were great at the invitational, but you got to up your game if you want to get through sectionals, okay split up, guys on the left side, girls on the right, lets go come on" the guys and girls split up Kurt trying to go with the girls "all right, uh Kurt?" making Kurt move back towards the boys "here's the deal, two teams boys versus girls one week from today you will each perform a mash-up of your choice"
"What's a mash-up?" puck asked
"A mash-up is when you take two songs and mash them together to make an even richer explosion of musical expression boys will perform on Tuesday girls the next day" Mr Schue explained making weird hand signs "I want you guys to go all out, okay? costumes, choreography whoever wins the competition gets to choose the number that we do for sectionals"
"Wait, who's going to be the judge?" Rachel asked "your gender makes you biased"
"Ah, there is going to be a celebrity judge"
"Who" Tina asked but to Enzo it was pretty clear it was just going to be Mrs Pillsbury, Mr Schue doesn't know any celebrities
"You're going to have to show up to find out"
"We got this in the bag" Mercedes tells the girls
"Totally I'm going to start storyboarding our choreography" Rachel said walking out of the choir room with the girls
"Hey hope you guys are up for this competition" Mr Schue spoke to the boys "the girls look pretty pumped"
"We're planning on smoking them down in the hands of God" Artie said with a straight face
