Carole and Finn are walking downstairs into the Hummel basement. "Step. Couple more." Carole encourages.

Finn's eyes are covered. "Is there a car down here from me?" He asks.

"Honey, we're indoors." Carole reminds.

Finn nods. "Oh. Okay."

Carole smiles when they reach the bottom of the staircase. "And open your eyes."

Finn opens his eyes to see Kurt, Burt and Violet standing around with smiles on their faces.

"Sparkling cider?" Kurt offers Carole.

Carole smiles. "Yeah."

Finn looks confused. "'Welcome home?' But who went somewhere?" He asks.

Carole smiles. "Burt asked us to move in with them."

Finn looks a bit dejected. "And this is how you're telling me?"

Kurt smiles proudly. "The party is my idea. If you're gonna say something, say it loud, right?"

Burt chuckles. "Yeah. It's gonna take some getting used to, but trust me, you're gonna love it, okay? Now you don't have to drag your tail over here every time you want to watch something on the old 55-incher. We got a lot of food - some ethnic food. It's some ethnicity, that's not ours."

"Tuna crudité. Tuna crudité. It's not ethnic." Kurt says.

Burt smiles. "Here you go."

Carole smiles. "Finn, this house is twice as big as ours. It has two bathrooms."

"Two and a half." Burt corrects.

Finn looks down in the dumps. "I don't want an extra bathroom or a tuna crude. I just want my house back."

Kurt has an idea. "I think I know what this resistance is about. Our room. And I couldn't agree more. The palate in here is totally unflattering to your skin tone. Not everyone can pull off Dior gray. We need to redecorate."

Finn looks shocked. "Wait, we're sharing a room? I'm not cool with that!"

Carole smiles. "Baby, I know it's weird, okay? But can't be much of a surprise. And, in time, you're gonna be as happy as I am."

Burt smiles. "Yeah, look, I'll knock out a wall upstairs, I'll put an addition on, okay? But-but until then, maybe this will grease the wheels a bit, huh?" He says and takes $300 out and gives it to Finn but Kurt takes it before Finn can react. "Hey. Look, that's 300. Have at it. You redecorate this place."

Kurt smiles at Finn. "Don't worry, roomie. Mr. Ikea Catalog and I will have this all figured out. I am going to put together a palate that expresses who you are and who I want you to be. Who you want to be." Kurt says.

Finn looks over at Violet. "But what about Violet? She doesn't have anywhere to sleep." He says.

Violet smiles. "Don't worry Finn. I'm sleeping in the guest room upstairs. I tried to let them give it to you. But Carole was insistent I get my own room." She says.

Finn sighs. "Will you at least come hang out?"

"What do you take me for, an idiot? Of course!" Violet says. She can see Finn's a little uneasy about moving in, but she doesn't want Kurt's happiness ruined.
