It's the first week of having Sue as co-director of the New Directions.

"Alright guys. And now for today's assignment." Will says to the glee club.

Will and Sue have a coin toss, which
Will ends up losing to.

Sue takes out a piece of paper from her pocket. "Awesome. All right. Following students have been selected... for a special elite Glee Club called Sue's Kids." She says.

"Hold on. We agreed not to split up the group." Will bites back.

"Aw, come on, Will. Give me a chance to do things Sue Sylvester's way. Maybe with my proven leadership abilities...I can help this pathetic group of mouth breathers place at Sectionals." Sue remarks.

"We can't even compete in sectionals if we divide up the club, Sue. It's against the rules." Will sighs.

Sue tosses a book at Will. "Really? You need to crack open a book, William. Here. I have. Show Choir Rule Book. Page 24. Provision 14. Second addendum." She recites.

Will opens the book and reads aloud. "'Twelve members must perform for each team. However, not all members must perform every song.'" He sighs and looks at Sue, who's smirking.

"Fine. Hey, just go ahead, take all the football players and your Cheerios." He dismisses.

Sue looks at the New Directions. "All right, everybody. Listen up.When you hear your name called, cross over to my side of this black, shiny thing." She says, motioning to the piano.

"That's called a piano, Sue." Will states.

Sue ignores him. "Santana! Wheels! Gay kid! Come on! Move it! Asian! Other Asian. Aretha. And Shaft." She calls. Santana, Artie, Kurt, Mike, Tina, Mercedes and Matt all stand by the cheerleading coach, all of them looking perplexed.

Sue looks at Will. "I don't want to participate in a group that ignores the needs of minority students." She says.

Will is now on edge. "You have got to be kidding me!"

Sue looks at him seriously. "I wouldn't kid about this. And maybe that's your problem. Bigotry is no laughing matter." She notes.

"And that's how Sue sees it." Santana chimes, making a "C" with her hand.

Sue turns back to Santana with a smile. "Outstanding."

Angie and Finn look at each other warily.

Whatever was going down was not good.

Sue's Kids were gathered in the choir room for their first rehearsal.

"I'm k-k-kind of nervous." Tina admits.

Artie nods. "I debated not even showing up."

"I think it's gonna be great. Did you catch Sue's Corner last night?" Mercedes comments.

Sue comes in the choir room, holding sheet music, followed by two musicians. "Hey, kids. Brought some of my brass buddies with me. Thought maybe they could help us out a little bit. Okay. So I selected a song that I think will speak to the frustration you've felt... under the failed leadership of Will Schuester." She says and passes out the sheet music.

Mercedes smirks as she reads the song printed on the sheer music. "'Hate on Me,' an R & B song!" She cheers. Everyone laughs at her enthusiasm.
