Glee Season 2 episode 14

It is Alcohol Awareness week on Glee. While the school is trying to promote not drinking, the Glee club is doing a little experimenting.

Rachel wants to become a great song writer like Joni Mitchell, but her first attempt sucks. She wrote a song about her headband. Finn tells her she needs to live a little. So she has a party to try to loosen up. The whole Glee club comes including Blaine and Kurt.

At first the party is awful. Rachel’s high strung ways are too lame for her friends. Before they can leave, Rachel lets Puck break into her dad’s alcohol cabinet and the booze gets flowing. They go wild. Santana is crying, Brittany is dancing on tables and Rachel is all over sober Finn. They even play spin the bottle where Rachel and Blaine end up in a long kiss. The kiss is too long for Kurt’s comfort. Blaine and Rachel sing “Don’t You Want Me”.

Blaine wakes up in Kurt’s bed (nothing happened). The rest of the Glee kids arrive at school very hungover. Artie has the cure to their pain: Bloody Marys. He convinces them to keep drinking to avoid a hangover. They sing “Blame It On The Alcohol” for Mr. Schuester while drunk hoping it will be the song for the assembly. Will tells them the song encourages alcohol.

Will feels bad because he drank when he was their age. He’s clearly stressed over everything. To loosen up, Coach Beiste takes him out to a country bar where the teachers get very drunk. They sing “One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer” together. Will goes home and grades tests drunk and drunk dials someone. He though he called Emma, but he’s very wrong.

Kurt has his own problems. After their kiss Rachel and Blaine seem to think they might have chemistry. Kurt is heartbroken and very jealous. Blaine tries to explain that he’s confused, but Kurt is angry, jealous and a little rude. Blaine was there for him and now Kurt won’t help his friend because he has a crush on him.

The Glee club’s drinking hits rock bottom at the assembly. To stop their nerves they drink a concoction including scotch, brandy, and who knows what else. They sing “Tik Tok” for the school led by Brittany. It was going great until Brittany suddenly threw up on Rachel and then Santana threw up too.

The next day, Sue gets a hold of the microphone and humiliates Will. Will called Sue when he was drunk and left a hilarious message on her machine, which Sue proceeded to play for the whole school.

The best part is the Principal doesn’t realize they were really drunk. He applauds the kids for teaching the students a lesson about drinking. Will knows better. He and the kids sign a pledge to not drink until after Nationals. He gives them his cell phone in case they ever get in trouble drinking.

Finally Kurt and Rachel have the big Blaine show down. Is Blaine gay? Rachel rushes up to Blaine at the coffee shop and plants a kiss on him to find out the truth. Blaine is gay. Rachel isn’t upset though, because now she has something to write a song about.
