When they finish singing, they all hug.

Most of them kept their promise to come home for the holiday.

Kurt and Rachel are not present, but they have reasons not to show up.

Angie smiles from her place between Finn and Quinn.

"God I miss this."

Finn smiles as everyone is gathered in the choir room. At the front of the choir room is Mercedes, Mike, Quinn, Santana, and Puck.

"All right, do you realize, standing before you are legends?" Finn asks.

There's cheers and applause from Tina, Sam, Blaine, Artie and the others.

"Any single one of these guys could be. President of the United States one day." Finn says.

Mike shrugs. "I don't know about that." He says.

"And lucky for us, they've agreed to help us..." Finn is interrupted by Puck.

"Hang with the new chumps and see if some of our sheer awesomeness doesn't rub off on you." Puck finishes.

"It will. When you hear your name, pair up. Puck, you're with your brother. Mike, you're with Ryder. Marley, you're with Santana. Kitty, you're with Quinn. Wade, Mercedes." Angie says.

"I knew it. Mercedes was cloned." Brittany whispers to Sam.

Finn turns his attention to the newbies. "Now, your mentors are here to help you with whatever you need: Singing, dancing..."

"Birth control." Quinn inputs.

"You're so funny and self-deprecating! We're so much alike!" Kitty says.

"Wanky." Comes the reply of Santana and Angie.

"The worst mistake that we can make is to underestimate our competition. The Warblers are ruthless this year." Finn says.

"Don't forget about the Rosedale Mennonites. Any show choir that can raise a barn in five minutes deserves mad respect." Artie comments.

Finn and Angie take their seats. "Marley and Blaine will handle our duet, and for the showstopper we're doing 'Gangnam Style.'" Finn reveals.

Santana begins one of her interventions. "Okay, lumps, let me just say out loud what everyone here is thinking: You finally got an okay haircut, you're not doing that annoying half smirk as much as you used to, but you're still a idiot. No one in this room can tackle a massive dance
number except for Britt. That includes your little "Hand-Jive" that, to me, looked more like a hand..." she's cut off by Joe.

"Is there any way Mr. Shue can come back for this?" Joe asks.

"Listen to me, we have never lost sectionals before, and there's no way we're gonna do it under my watch. We can and we will succeed! We need an ambitious number with a strong dance element. That's the Warbler's calling card, and we need to blow them out of the water. And Mike and Angie said they could easily show one of our guys how to do the dance number." Finn says.
