"I can't believe I have to say goodbye to the Queen of Soul." Kurt cries.

Ms. Franklin smiles. "It's alright, suga. As long as you're friends with Mercy, you've got a friend in me."

He about dies.

Mercedes hugs him. "Thank you, Ms. Aretha. It's been a great visit."

Ms. Franklin pinches her chubby cheek. "You take after me."

"I heard that, Aretha!" Christina thunders.

"Oh, Grandmom!" Mercedes rolls her eyes.

"Please just go away!" Marcy groans loudly.

"You are rude, child!" ‪Elton John‬ sets his hands on his hips.

"Uncle Phil and Uncle Snoop can stay."

"What?!" A few of her aunts are offended.

And she knows that.

"That's alright, Pod." Lily shakes a fist.

"Stop infecting our friends."

Quinn giggles. "They're going to be weird now."

Violet is hurt. "You think we are weird?"

"Vi, they're joking." Petunia sighs.

"We are. Don't cry, TT." Marcy shakes her head.

Violet sets her fists on her hips. "I'm not crying!"

"You were close." Buttercup teases.

"Shut up, Butter Butt!" Lily defends their elder sister.

"Stop calling me that!"

Christina huffs. "Girls!"

Both stick out their tongues.

"I've changed my mind. I'm not joking. You're toxic. Get out." Marcy says.

Cher laughs. "You were always so feisty!"

Marcy doesn't like that word. "No."

"Niecy, be nice." ‪Snoop Dogg‬ grins.

"Hmm?!"

"It's the opposite of what you naturally are." Lily taunts.

"I hope Uncle Gio leaves you for a younger woman."

"He will never do better than me!"

"I didn't say better. I said younger."

Lily stews.

Rose frowns. "She's right. You're all so weird."

"So are you." Marcy states. "You got to hit the bricks, too."

The boys are snickering as Rose's jaw drops. "Me?!"

"These are closed rehearsals from here on out. Everybody has to go. Bye now."

"I'm telling your father!" Mrs. Jones stomps off.

"Tell him he's not invited either!"

Puck's nearly crying and Artie outright is.

The family members leave while the New Directions stay.

Marcy rounds them up. "We have ten minutes of rehearsals left. After that, the girls are coming over for our sleepover."

Kurt clears his throat. "Am I invited?"

"Kurt, stop it. You know you're invited. So is Blaine."

Blaine is surprised. "Really?"
