The Cheerios were gathered in the gym as Sue was talking to them.

"I've reserved the auditorium for the week. Not to mention, I have an interview with Splits Magazine." Sue tells her Cheerios. "Black girl from glee club, get over here!" She yells at Mercedes.

"My name is Mercedes." Said girl corrects as she walks up to Sue.

"Why are Lady and Violet following you?" Sue asks rudely. Violet holds Kurt's hand as they look at their coach.

"What do you want, Sue?" Mercedes asks.

"You need to lose 10 pounds for the interview." Sue says bluntly.

Mercedes looks confused. "Why would I want to do that?" She asks.

"It's all about image, Mercedes." Kurt influences. "Honestly, if you are fat then we have a problem."

Violet lets go of his hand. "Don't talk about Mercedes that way, Kurt." She says and Mercedes's jaw drops in anger.

"Well Lady, you should lose 10 pounds too. You have pear-shaped hips." Sue says before walking off.

Violet turns to look at her boyfriend and her friend. "Guys don't listen to Coach Sylvester. You two are beautiful just the way you are." She says.

Kurt gives her a small smile. "Thanks honey, but Mercedes and I have to apparently lose 10 pounds in a week."

Violet just pinches the bridge of her nose, unable to understand why two of the most confident people she knows suddenly want to change something about themselves.

Because Sue reserved the auditorium for the Cheerios this week, the New Directions can't use the auditorium to practice.

For the glee club meeting, Will was making announcements. He sees it's almost time for the meeting to end, and decides to close with one more announcement.

"One more announcement," Will says. "We can't use the auditorium for the next week."

"But that's garbage!" Finn says, enraged at the thought.

"Finn's right. Coach Sylvester should've never reserved the auditorium for the Cheerios. We can practice in the gym just as good." Violet says.

Will sighs. "I know Finn," he agrees. "But don't worry. I promise to find us a new home."

At lunch, Kurt, Violet and Mercedes are sitting at their own table. Violet and Kurt were sitting next to each other and Mercedes sat on the other end of the table.

"Mercedes, don't let Coach Sylvester get to you. You shouldn't change anything about yourself." Violet says.

Mercedes gives her a small smile before going to dig into her lunch.

Kurt's playing with his peeled celery. Violet notices that's all he has to eat. "Baby do you want some of my food? I'd be more than happy to half my lunch with you." She says, a bit concerned for their well-beings.

Kurt kisses her cheek. "It's okay babe. I'm only having peeled celery for lunch. I had Splenda for breakfast." He reveals.

Violet frowns. "That's starving yourself Kurt. I thought you were better than that." She says. She places half of her ham sandwich in his hand. "Will you eat it for me?" She asks.
