Angie backs up when she sees someone holding a slushee walking down the hallway. Rachel fearfully takes a deep breath but it doesn't hit her in the face. On the contrary, it's Finn who receives it. Finn, at first is surprised and then angry and threw himself at the student.

"What the hell, Karofsky?" Finn shouts.

The student is Dave Karofsky, one of the football players. He sneers at he gets up in Finn's face. "Oh, I've wanted to do that ever since fifth grade... when you made fun of me for getting pubes. Now that you've joined Lullaby Lee's and insperminated the queen of the Chastity Ball... and dropped below us hockey dudes on the food chain? It's open season." He says. Finn pushes Karofsky away.

Quinn glares at Karofsky. "Screw you, Karofsky! You and your Neanderthal puck-heads are nothing!" She sneers.

Finn throws Karofsky against the lockers. "You're gonna pay for this, dude!"

Karofsky pushes Finn. "No, I'm not. You two don't have the juice anymore. Welcome to the new world order." He laughs before he leaves, being watched by Quinn and Finn.

Quinn is busy getting slushee out of Finn's face in the choir room. "This is a disaster. Our reputation as McKinley High's "it" couple is in serious jeopardy... if we don't find some way to be cool again, Finn." She says.

Angie frowned. She adored Quinn, but did her popularity mean more to her than her friends and boyfriend?

Kurt shudders. "The Slushee war has commenced." He states.

"And if Finn and Quinn got nailed, none of us are safe." Mercedes adds.

Will joyfully enters the classroom. "Okay, guys. We're a little behind for Sectionals... thanks to our Sue Sylvester detour. But you guys seem to really enjoy doing mash-ups, right? And I'm gonna keep you guys fired up. Plus, there's an important lesson to be learned with mash-ups. Sometimes things are so different, they don't feel like they go together. But the big difference between them is what makes them great. Like... chocolate and bacon." Will explains.

"Chocolate and bacon?" Angie asks Kurt, who shrugs.

"Or Glee Club and football." Finn provides.

Will smiles as he distributes sheet music. "Exactly. But you've proven that it isa great combination. So... here is... my personal favorite song. And your homework for the week is to find an unexpected mash-up to go with it." He instructs.

"Bust a move?" Kurt asks with a raised eyebrow.

Santana smiles. "Yeah, this song is old school."

"All right. Um, Artie." Will looks to his student.

"Yeah?" Artie asks.

Will smiles. "Try to follow along on the bass."

Artie wheels over to a bass guitar. "Yes."

Will looks over at Finn, who's still got Quinn dabbing at his face with a towel. "Finn, take us through it."

"Uh, I'm sorry, Mr. Schuester. I got corn syrup in my eye." Finn states.

"Okay. Uh, Puck. How about it?" The Spanish teacher offers.

Puck shrugs. "I don't really groove on Young MC."

"I am shocked at the lack of leading-man ambition in this room right now." Rachel says.

"Me too. You guys are wimps." Angie says. Mike feigns hurt as he places a hand on his heart.
