Will gathers the New Directions in the choir room with Jesse next to him. "New Directions... I would like to introduce you to our new show choir consultant... Jesse St. James."

Finn looks doubtful. "I don't trust this guy. He's gonna trick us into doing something stupid so his alma mater wins."

Jesse smirks. "I don't need to do much tricking to get you to do something stupid, Finn."

Angie rolls her eyes. "No, because you're plenty stupid on your own Jesse."

Jesse just nods in agreement.

Will sighs. "Guys, Jesse is just a consultant. I still make all the calls. I have all the confidence in the world in you guys. I just think we could use all the help we can get because... this is it. We've been working so hard for two years for this moment, and that moment is finally here. I was talking with Jesse and he agreed we should continue with our successful trend of doing original songs for the competition. I was thinking of doing one group number and one duet."

Finn perks up. "Rachel and I should sing a duet. We killed it last year at regionals with 'Faithfully.'"

Santana scoffs. "Yeah. It killed us. We lost."

"May I?" Jesse asks.

Will nods. "Uh, yeah."

Jesse looks at New Directions. "I agree that Rachel should sing lead, but, Finn, I think it's best if you sit this one out. The fact is, most of the other guys in here are better singers... and Mike Chang, who can't even sing, can at least dance. You kind of sing and dance like a zombie who has to poop."

Finn starts screaming. "You see what I'm talking about? This guy's a jerk!"

Will looks at Jesse. "Maybe you could be a little gentler with your advice."

Jesse raises an eyebrow. "Gentle?"

Will nods. "Yes."

"I'm sorry. I didn't realize we were training for the "Good Try" ribbon at nationals. I thought we were in it to win the whole thing, and there's only one way we can do that." Jesse explains.

"Poison darts?" Brittany offers.

Jesse shakes his head. "The Vocal Adrenaline strategy is simple. Identify your best performer and build the entire performance around them."

Mercedes looks at Jesse. "So what does everyone else do?"

"And who's our star performer?" Puck asks.

Will smiles. "We're gonna have auditions to find out. I'm gonna post a sign-up sheet later this afternoon."

"Mr Shue don't you think this is kinda not our style?" Finn asks.
