Quotes:

Finn Hudson:Hey, Santana! Why don't you just come out of the closet? You know, I think I know why you're so good at tearing everybody else down. It's because you're constantly tearing yourself down, because you can't admit to everybody that you're in love with Brittany and she might not love you back. That must hurt, not be able to admit to everyone how you really feel. You know what I think you are? A coward. See you at the mash off.

Soundtrack:

I Can't Go For That (No Can Do)/You Make My Dreams Come True

Wow...

I actually have not followed Glee much since the first season. I missed the whole second one and am now catching up with the third. There were some hints on previous episodes that leaded towards where this one goes to, so you kind of see it coming, but the way it is presented is truly heartbreaking and breathtaking. I really have no intentions on spoiling it, but you might want to expect some killer dialogs, gasps of surprise by what some say and do, and a GREAT ending for the episode. I soooo want to see what's next... And just hoping this doesn't spoil it, I'd just like to say that even if I COMPLETELY feel her pain and would never want to be in her place, reality is that she had it coming.
