Finn storms into the choir room, holding a newspaper. "What the hell is this, dude?" He asks, getting in Sam's face.

"'What blondie former cheerleader is having a secret Moonlight Motel rendezvous... with another big-lipped blondie?'" Finn reads aloud.

Violet jumps up. "Where does it say that?"

"Right on the front page of the school newspaper!" Finn states.

"You don't seriously believe this, do you?" Quinn asks.

Finn looks angry. "Well, why shouldn't I? Why wouldn't he do the same thing I did to him?"

"Because it's gossip, Finn." Violet answers.

"I'm gonna punch your face off!" Finn says.

"You got a lot of nerve accusing me of cheating." Sam says.

"Stop it. Stop it!" Quinn and Violet try to break them apart.

Sam points at Finn. "You're the one who snuck in and stole my girl!"

"Hey!" Puck says, holding back his ex-best friend.

"Finn, where are you going? We got rehearsal!" Will says.

"Not today!" Finn fumes. He storms out.

Violet chucks the Muckraker in the trash can. She knows the truth. "It's okay guys. He just doesn't know."

"Rumors. A classic record by Fleetwood Mac. One of the greatest albums of all time... written as the band was breaking apart to keep it together. Now, this week we are done with the backstabbing and the gossip... and we're channeling all that energy into working together." Will says.

Violet likes where the lesson is going.

"So, pick a song from the album... put your own spin on it. Simple as that." Will says.

Violet looks at Kurt with a smile.

This should be fun.

Some of New Directions are sitting in the Lima Bean together. They've heard another rumor, this time about the possibility that Kurt could be cheating on Violet.

"I can't believe Kurt would do that to Violet." Artie says.

"What do we know about Sam anyway? I mean, what town is he from? What state? What's his old school like? Maybe he's a serial killer." Tina adds.

Quinn shakes her head. "You guys, I'm telling you, Kurt wouldn't cheat on Violet. Never in a million years."

Finn butts in. "It's like the Rumors album. Being apart or on the road is hard for two artists. Performers have this "love the one you're with" mentality. I mean, look at all of us. Look at all
the different combinations that we've had."

Rachel nods. "Finchel, Puckleberry."

Tina smiles. "Tina Cohen Chang-Chang."

"Artittany." Artie says.

"Pizes." Puck states.

"Vurt." Charlie adds.

"Guys, we're sitting here squabbling over what? A rumor." Finn says.

Rachel nods. "Finn's right. We need more information."

Quinn stands up. "I don't wanna get into it, but all I'm gonna say is that Sam's not gay."
