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.

Angie 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?"

"Because it's gossip, Finn." Angie 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 Angie try to break them apart.

"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.

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

Angie walks up to Finn at his locker.

"You don't seriously think I'm cheating on you with Sam, do you?" She asks.

Finn sighs. "I don't know what to think." He says honestly.

"Do you love me?" Angie questions.

"Of course I do." Finn answers.

Angie smiles. "Then you should be able to trust that I will never go behind your back. I've been cheated on too, Finn. I would never do anything like that to you. I love you too much to do that."

Finn nods. "I know. I just... got kinda jealous that you and Sam were hanging out."

"Well we were hanging out with Quinn too. Look... Sam loves Quinn. He's not going to cheat on her. Just trust me, okay?" Angie says as she takes his hand.

Finn smiles. "Okay."

"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.

Angie likes where the lesson is going.

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

Angie 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 Blaine.

"I can't believe Kurt would do that to Blaine." 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.
