Glee Season 6

Glee is an American musical comedy-drama that aired on Fox from May 19, 2009 to March 27, 2015. The series had a total of 128 episodes.
==Plot==
The series centers on a high school show choir, also known as a glee club, in the fictional William McKinley High School in Lima, Ohio. Will Schuester (Matthew Morrison) takes over the glee club after the former teacher Sandy Ryerson is fired for inappropriate contact with a student. With a rag-tag group of misfit teenagers, Will attempts to restore the glee club to its former glory while tending to his developing feelings for his co-worker, guidance counselor Emma Pillsbury (Jayma Mays), as well as defending the glee club's existence from the conniving cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch). A major focus of the series is the students in the glee club: their relationships as couples, their love of singing and desire for popularity coming into conflict due to their membership in the low-status club, and the many vicissitudes of life in high school and as a teenager.

Finally, she investigates the genealogies of Blaine and Karofsky and informs them that they're third cousins, while also having Blaine learn that Karofsky's previous boyfriends were all bears.

After Vocal Adrenaline perform, Sue announces that she is extending the invitational two more days in order to give New Directions more time to prepare. Desperate for more members, Rachel, Ryder and Jake ask Kitty Wilde (Becca Tobin) to rejoin; while initially hesitant due to the heartbreak caused by the original group's disbanding, she agrees and helps Rachel create a new setlist using some of Sue's favorite songs. Sam also helps in the recruitment process by convincing Spencer Porter (Marshall Williams) to join. Meanwhile, Sue traps Blaine and Kurt in an ersatz elevator before the Warblers perform and, via a mechanized robot, tells them that they must passionately kiss if they want to leave—which they do, after spending over a day in confinement. They escape just as New Directions perform and after Rachel and Will make amends. Despite her attempts to sabotage their chances, Sue begrudgingly names the New Directions as winners of the invitational; Vocal Adrenaline are the runners-up, which angers Clint (Max George), the lead singer. Kurt and Blaine confront Sue over their captivity and tell her that the kiss has merely reaffirmed their decision to remain friends. She appears to concede; however, she later tells Becky that that was her plan all along, and that she has much more up her sleeve.

Rachel and Sam continue to be indecisive about their relationship as the glee club celebrates the music of Burt Bacharach and Mercedes is invited back to mentor them before Sectionals.

122 	8 	"Transitioning" 	Dante Di Loreto 	Matthew Hodgson 	February 13, 2015
Will is enjoying the material benefits of coaching Vocal Adrenaline, but cannot connect emotionally with the job because his students take the choir far too seriously. When Clint and the other members egg Rachel and Blaine, Will puts his foot down and invites choir alumna Wade "Unique" Adams (Alex Newell) to help him teach a lesson on tolerance—which ends up falling on deaf ears, as the students later vandalize newly-transgender Sheldon Beiste's car in the hopes of distracting New Directions so that they will have to spend time learning about tolerance instead of rehearsing for Sectionals. This demeaning act forces Will to kick out Clint (which proves a futile effort when the choir's financial backers get wind of it) and makes him reconsider his future at Carmel High. Meanwhile, Rachel's childhood home is finally sold, and to help ease her transition, Sam organizes a farewell party for the house in her basement. There, after singing a duet that Kurt surreptitiously prearranged, Blaine kisses his former fiancé, and the act leads to his breakup with Karofsky. However, when he is about to break the news to Kurt, he finds him, Walter, Rachel and Sam about to go out on a double date. Finally, after hearing helpful advice from his wife, Emma (Jayma Mays), Will tricks Vocal Adrenaline into thinking they will pull a prank on New Directions, when in reality he has them hear Unique and a transgender choir serenade Sheldon and make his transition into his new identity easier. He then decides to quit and, at the behest of Rachel and Kurt, becomes a consultant for New Directions.

123 	9 	"A Wedding" 	Bradley Buecker 	Ross Maxwell 	February 20, 2015
On Whitney Pierce's suggestion, Santana and Brittany decide to get married in the Indiana barn where Brittany was born. This also proves convenient as same sex marriage is legal in Indiana. Before the ceremony, Brittany agrees to have Burt Hummel (Mike O'Malley) officiate the ceremony, while Santana tells Sue that she is not invited. Also, while choosing wedding dresses, Santana goes against tradition and sees Brittany in her chosen dress, sending the latter into a superstitious tailspin. On the day of the ceremony, Sue arrives with Alma Lopez, who finally gives her blessing to the couple after realizing that regardless of her views on homosexuality her family is the most important thing in life; this act redeems Sue in Santana's eyes, and she is allowed to stay for the wedding. Sue and Brittany also convince Kurt and Blaine to get married that same day. After the couples tie the knot, Tina tries to propose to ex-boyfriend Mike Chang (Harry Shum, Jr.). Despite professing his love for her, he gently turns her down as he thinks she is just caught up in the two weddings that just happened, and wants what everyone else has. While lunching together back at McKinley, Tina and Artie make a pact and agree to marry each other if they are still single by 30. Finally, Sue gives the newlywed couples a parting gift, sending Kurt and Blaine on a weekend honeymoon trip to Provincetown, Massachusetts, and Santana and Brittany on a month-long getaway to the Bahamas.

124 	10 	"Child Star" 	Michael Hitchcock 	Ned Martel 	February 27, 2015
In the hope of securing the prestigious Principal of the Year Award, Sue asks Superintendent Bob Harris (Christopher Cousins) for a letter of recommendation. In exchange, Harris asks Sue to help his nephew, Myron Muskovitz (J.J. Totah), plan a lavish musical performance for his upcoming bar mitzvah party. When Sue defers to the New Directions, Myron asks them to perform there, as well. Mason, having developed feelings for Jane, is anxious to perform with her, but he is prevented from doing so by his controlling twin sister. When he asks Jane anyway and tells Madison that she is to sing with Roderick instead of him, Madison freaks out. However, after Mason performs a telling solo about independence at the party, Madison relents and allows her brother to further pursue Jane. Meanwhile, Spencer develops a crush on a student named Alistair (Finneas O'Connell), and decides to help Roderick—who is Alistair's friend—improve his fitness if he helps him strike up a friendship. Despite Spencer's abrasive personality, Roderick helps the two connect, resulting in Alistair being convinced to join New Directions. Myron also joins the glee club due to his uncle's influence, which infuriates Sue, as now she cannot destroy the club without invoking the ire of her superior.

125 	11 	"The Rise and Fall of Sue Sylvester" 	Anthony Hemingway 	Jessica Meyer 	March 6, 2015
After Dalton Academy unexpectedly burns to the ground, the Warblers join New Directions to form one unified team. Sue tries to exert her authority and have the Warblers removed, which angers Becky Jackson so much that she decides to end her friendship with Sue and betray the secrets of her hurt locker to Superintendent Harris. Sue is fired as McKinley's principal as a result, and in the aftermath she consents to be interviewed by Geraldo Rivera for Fox News. In reality, Rivera is conducting an exposé on Sue, publicly revealing (among other things) that she is a compulsive liar, that Michael Bolton did not father her child, and that her parents lied about being Nazi hunters in order to avoid her because she was a problem child. Only two people interviewed by Rivera—Sheldon and Will—stand up for Sue in the end. Afterwards, Sue's mother Doris (Carol Burnett) visits her and, after apologizing to each other for their wrongdoings, they both reconcile with a duet. Battered but not beaten, Sue is then hired as Vocal Adrenaline's new coach. Meanwhile, Rachel returns to NYADA to beg the dean, Carmen Tibideaux, for a second chance; despite being thrown out, she remains hopeful that Tibideaux will have a change of heart. Upon her return to Lima, she receives word that she has been cast in the musical she auditioned for a few weeks before, and decides to leap at the opportunity. Sam expresses concern that she is making the wrong choice, but when Tibideaux calls Rachel to accept her back into NYADA, Rachel remains steadfast in her decision to pursue the musical.

In reality, Rivera is conducting an exposé on Sue, publicly revealing (among other things) that she is a compulsive liar, that Michael Bolton did not father her child, and that her parents lied about being Nazi hunters in order to avoid her because she was a problem child. Only two people interviewed by Rivera—Sheldon and Will—stand up for Sue in the end. Afterwards, Sue's mother Doris (Carol Burnett) visits her and, after apologizing to each other for their wrongdoings, they both reconcile with a duet. Battered but not beaten, Sue is then hired as Vocal Adrenaline's new coach. Meanwhile, Rachel returns to NYADA to beg the dean, Carmen Tibideaux, for a second chance; despite being thrown out, she remains hopeful that Tibideaux will have a change of heart. Upon her return to Lima, she receives word that she has been cast in the musical she auditioned for a few weeks before, and decides to leap at the opportunity. Sam expresses concern that she is making the wrong choice, but when Tibideaux calls Rachel to accept her back into NYADA, Rachel remains steadfast in her decision to pursue the musical.

126 	12 	"We Built This Glee Club" 	Joaquin Sedillo 	Aristotle Kousakis 	March 13, 2015
As the glee club readies itself for Sectionals, Rachel receives a surprise visit from Jesse St. James (Jonathan Groff), who reveals that he has been cast as the male lead opposite her in the new musical. Despite telling Sam that she's made up her mind, Rachel is still unsure as to whether she should go back to college. Meanwhile, Roderick and Spencer ask Kitty and Will to help them improve their dance moves, which results in Spencer spraining his ankle. Despite the injury being severe, Spencer opts for a cortisone injection so that he can still perform with his friends. Roderick, however, finds a better solution by incorporating Spencer into the Sectionals set in a unique way. Before the day of the competition, Sue glitter bombs the choir room, taints the McKinley water supply and sets fire to Will's car—all seemingly for revenge. Her coaching of Vocal Adrenaline also results in an overblown competition set, complete with human cannonballs. This ostentatiousness costs them the victory, with New Directions emerging as the winners. Afterwards, Sue tells Will that, because he stood up for her during Geraldo Riviera's exposé, she had sabotaged Vocal Adrenaline by deliberately alienating the judges, while also helping New Directions improve their physiologies with her earlier shenanigans, thereby ensuring their victory. After Sectionals ends, Rachel tells Jesse that she has decided to return to NYADA and turn down the musical. Though disappointed, he accepts her decision and offers her a place to stay in New York; the two then share a kiss before parting. As the glee club celebrates their victory and sends off a departing Rachel, they have the previous trophies put back on display with the latest one as Sue looks on with approval.

127 	13 	"2009" 	Paris Barclay 	Ryan Murphy & Brad Falchuk 	March 20, 2015
The episode is a flashback to the show's pilot episode, exploring how in 2009 the original members of New Directions—Rachel, Kurt, Mercedes, Artie and Tina—came to join the club. Kurt is friendless and depressed; believing him to be suicidal, guidance counselor Emma Pillsbury contacts Burt to warn him of his son's difficulties. As a result, Burt orders Kurt to join a school team for his own good. Hoping to please his father, Kurt befriends Rachel and Mercedes; the former suggests that he audition for Will Schuester's new glee club, while the latter helps him choose his audition song. After signing up herself, Mercedes is targeted by Rachel as a potential rival for the position of lead female vocalist, and the two immediately butt heads. After Will gives the first female solo to Rachel, Mercedes' confidence is shattered until she is given a pep talk by her church's choir director. Artie and Tina both audition because of a dare from Tina's Goth friends, and Sue and Will are on good terms with each other until he refuses to give up on the glee club in order to maintain their friendship. After Will's wife Terri (Jessalyn Gilsig) tells her husband that she is pregnant and convinces him to give up teaching and take up accounting, Rachel tries unsuccessfully to get Terri to change her mind. The five original members of the glee club are also at loggerheads over Finn Hudson's leadership, questioning his commitment after he quits and later rejoins. During a meeting between the five, Rachel and Artie convince the others to give Finn another chance, as they believe in his good qualities. The episode concludes with the pilot episode's now-iconic staging of "Don't Stop Believin'", which is what convinced Will to stay on as choir director.

128 	14 	"Dreams Come True" 	Bradley Buecker 	Ryan Murphy & Brad Falchuk 	March 27, 2015
After New Directions wins Nationals, Superintendent Harris has McKinley converted into a performing arts school and appoints Will to be its principal. This allows him to add more choirs in addition to New Directions, whose leadership he hands off to Sam. As the school begins its transition, the original New Directions alumni gather for a final time to say goodbye to both the school and to each other. Mercedes announces that she has been chosen as the opening act for Beyoncé's world tour, and tells her friends that she will not see them for a long time; nevertheless, through a final song she reassures them that they will be together again. Meanwhile, Kurt and Blaine thank Sue for her efforts to reunite them after their breakup, and Sue, in turn, mends fences with both Becky and Will. The episode then reveals the fates of the characters in 2020: Kurt and Blaine are theatre actors who also visit schools and spread messages of acceptance and equality; Sue has become Vice President of United States under Jeb Bush; Artie and Tina are together, with Tina having starred in a film Artie directed that is to premiere at the Slamdance Film Festival; and Rachel is a Tony Award-winning Broadway star, married to Jesse St. James, and also the surrogate mother of Kurt and Blaine's child. Sometime during that year, Vice President Sue invites Finn, Will, Emma, Sheldon, Burt, Carole (Romy Rosemont), Principal Figgins (Iqbal Theba) and Terri to a rededication of McKinley's auditorium in Finn Hudson's name, where she finally espouses the virtues of glee. After her speech, Will and nearly all of his former students from every season of the show come together in song for a final time.
