Cut to Figgins office where Brittany and Sam are seated. "Sexy teen imbeciles. The S.A.T. scores are in, and you have managed to receive the highest and lowest scores ever recorded at McKinley," Figgins said. "Yes! I knew it. Secret genius," Sam celebrated thinking he got the high score. "Brittany S. Pierce has received a near-perfect 2340 on her exam," Figgins said in disbelief as Brittany looked shocked. "Wait, what? How?" Sam said also in disbelief. "Clearly, she cheated," Figgins said in an accusing tone. "No, I did not cheat. I swear," Brittany frowned "All I did was I filled in "A" for a while and then "C" for a little bit and then "D" and then I did "A" again and then I used the dots to draw a clown and then a penis." "Wait....what were my scores?" Sam asked worriedly. "You got a 340, which in clinical trials is a score routinely bested by monkeys," Figgins shot at Sam who looked down realizing he quite possibly was the dumbest person at McKinley. "Sam don't worry, okay? You don't need to go to college like the rest of us. You have a really great body. You could be a personal trainer. You could be a greeter at Abercrombie. You could be a greeter at Abercrombie's corporate headquarters Whatever you want to do," Brittany assured Sam who still didn't seem too sure. "But meanwhile, my future looks bright. I'm gonna graduate. I'll go to Harvard or "Princetown" or "MITT" or "Stanford and Son" or the "University of California at Charles Barkley's House, 'cause evidently I'm one of the smartest people in America," Brittany grinned as she gave Figgins a thumbs up while Sam sat there pondering what this meant for him.

Cut to Santana staring out the window of Kurt and Rachel's apartment in Bushwick where she has been currently living. "My first real week in New York and I'm stuck in Bushwick with a bunch of musical theatre queens," Santana said in a voice over showing her disgust as she looks over to Kurt and Adam as well as Rachel and Brody who are deep into rehearsing for the Funny Girl auditions. "Ugh. And to think New York was supposed to be my chance to do something great. Now I just get to deal with Lady Hummel and the rejected dwarf talking about some lame musical I could care less about. And to top it all off I just lost Brittany to the mayor of Lamesville, my life seriously couldn't get any worse," Santana said in a voice over as her thoughts are interrupted by Kurt, Adam, Rachel, and Brody all laughing together. "So, where you from, Doctor Who?" Santana asked approaching Adam. "Uh, England. Do you know Essex?" "No. Never heard of it," Santana shrugged. "Speaking of something in excess I could really do without the touchy-feeliness of you couples," Santana said as Kurt shook his head. "Rachel and I are letting you live here rent-free. The least you could do is..." Kurt began. "Is what? Be grateful. Bow down to ye almighty. Doubtful," Santana said as Rachel looked out annoyed. "Okay, that's it! You're gonna have to move out because this our sanctuary, and by ours, I mean mine and Kurt's, and frankly, you make me feel uncomfortable, and Brody says that you make him feel uncomfortable as well, isn't that right Brody?" Rachel asked looking back at Brody. "Uhhh...." Brody said awkwardly not wanting to rock the boat as Rachel continued to glare at him. "You know what? Fine. I'll go," Santana said grabbing her things "I have nothing left to lose anyway," Santana said as she headed out the door as the tune of 'Here I Go Again' by Whitesnake begins to play.

"No, I don't know where I'm goin' but I sure know where I've been. Hanging on the promises in songs of yesterday and I've made up my mind. I ain't wasting no more time. Here I go again. Oh. Here I go again," Santana sang as she left the apartment and began to walk the streets of New York. "Though I keep searchin' for an answer, I never seem to find what I'm lookin' for. Oh Lord, I pray you give me strength to carry on 'cause I know what it means to walk along the lonely street of dreams. And here I go again on my own. Goin' down the only road I've ever known. Like a drifter, I was born to walk alone. And I've made up my mind, I ain't wasting no more time. But here I go again, Here I go again, Here I go again, here I go," Santana sang as she continues to walk around looking for somewhere to go and spots The Spotlight diner and walks in. "And here I go again on my own. Goin' down the only road I've ever known. Like a drifter, I was born to walk alone. 'Cause I made up my mind. I ain't wasting no more time, no," Santana sang as she looked around The Spotlight Diner, ready to start over.

"Hey, Blaine. Will you please go to the mall with me after school? I want to go clothes shopping," Tina asked as they sat together in the choir room. "Sure," Blaine smiled a bit agreeing to it but is stunned when he sees Sam walking in "Oh, sweet merciful Lord." Sam entered the choir room in a bathing suit and sunglasses. "Sam. What are you doing? It's January," Blaine said in shock. "What do you mean? It's hot out there, you know? Sun's out, it's, like, way above freezing," Sam said denying that Blaine was right. "Are you sure you're not overcompensating a little?" Blaine asked concerned. "Overcompensating for what?" Sam asked baffled. "Your SAT scores. We all heard that you tanked," Blaine said as Sam sighed removing his sunglasses "But don't worry. There are re-tests." "You know what, dude? Like, if you choose to be jealous of my hard-core rockin' bod, that's on you," Sam huffed. "Uh, for the record, Blaine has an awesome body and a perky and delicious behind that looks like it got baked to perfection by some sort of master chef," Tina defended Blaine as Blaine looked stunned. "Thanks, Tina," Blaine said awkwardly as Tina nodded taking her seat as Blaine stopped Sam from leaving "Sam, I'm just looking out for you. I'm trying to be your friend." "Well you're not doing such a good job of being supportive. Just do me a favor and stay out of this okay?" Sam said taking his seat as Will then entered the choir room.

"Glee Club!" Will exclaimed as the New Directions cheered for him. "Mr. Schue, how was DC?" Artie asked."DC was great, but now I am back to stay," Will smiled a bit. "Holla!" Artie cheered as did the other New Directions. "And so, for my first order of business, I want to give a big shout-out to the guy who made sure I had something to come back to Mr. Finn Hudson," Will smiled a bit patting Finn on the back. "Thanks Mr. Schue, I really enjoyed filling in," Finn smiled a bit. "Well just know you're always welcome back here, anytime," Will told Finn as the New Directions cheered for him as Finn took a seat to let Will teach once again. "Now for this week's assignment..." Will began. "I hope it's Britney again," Brittany grinned as Will then noticed how Sam was dressed and was incredibly confused and put down his marker. "Sam...is everything okay?" Will asked. "Yeah why wouldn't it be?" Sam said with a shrug. "I think he's auditioning for Baywatch," Brittany said thinking it was a valid reason as she turned to Sam "You'd totally get the part." The other members of the New Directions also looked concerned that Sam was in a swimsuit in January. "Oh-kay...change of plans for this week's assignment," Will said as he began to write 'Acceptance' on the board. "Wait wasn't this the lesson when we sang 'Born This Way'?" Tina asked confused. "Yes it was. But it's come to my attention that some of you don't accept yourselves the way you are. That's why this week's assignment is 'Acceptance'. So sing a song to make someone in the club feel accepted, we bonded best as a group when we helped one another and that's exactly what we need to accomplish this week," Will said as the New Directions seemed pretty into the idea.
