Valentine's Day has arrived for the New Directions and as some members try to get Valentines and woo their lovers, not all are lucky. As Finn sets up a kissing booth in an attempt to kiss Quinn, using the excuse of raising money for the New Directions' Regionals, Rachel tries to steal a kiss from Finn in an attempt to re-establish their relationship. Kurt's feelings for Blaine begin to loosen to the point where he is pushed to admit it after Blaine reveals his attraction to another man.

The episode was directed by Tate Donovan and written by Ryan Murphy.

## Plot

Will sets the New Directions a love song assignment. Having fallen for Ash, Puck tries to serenade her with [INSERT SONG HERE]. Ash finds his song choice insulting. Later, after agreeing on a pre-Valentine's date, she stands him up. She later eventually agrees to spend Valentine's Day with him as friends.

Artie and Mike celebrate their respective relationships by performing Michael Jackson's *P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)* for Brittany and Tina. Tina later begins to sing *My Funny Valentine* to Mike, but is too overcome with emotion to continue and breaks down crying.

Finn sets up a kissing booth, hoping to kiss Quinn, saying that he wants to raise money for the New Directions. She inititally refuses, but kisses him at the insistence of Sam, who is first mad at her for suspicion of kissing Finn, then for not kissing Finn. The kiss further re-ignites Finn and Quinn's feelings for one another, and they begin an affair. Santana, angry for having recently had her bad behaviour highlighted by the other club members, conspires to give them mono and reveal Quinn's infidelity after using flawless logic to discover that Finn and Quinn are fooling around.

Santana goes into the nurse's office and kisses Wes Fahey, a student sick with mono and kisses Finn immediately afterwards. Even though Finn kisses many other girls in school after this, somehow only Quinn gets mono, thus their infidelity is inevitably revealed. Rachel is dismayed by his renewed feelings for Quinn, but resolves to concentrate on her career instead of romance, and leads the female New Directions members in a performance of Katy Perry's *Firework*.

Meanwhile, at Dalton Academy, Blaine announces his intention to sing a love song to his crush. Kurt believes that Blaine has feelings for him, so he is disappointed when his crush turns out to be Jeremiah, the assistant manager at a local Gap store. The Dalton Academy Warblers accompany Blaine as he serenades Jeremiah with Robin Thicke's *When I Get You Alone*. They do appropriate, cute little things like try on sunglasses and push mannequins around and surround Jeremiah repeating the lines "When I get you alone." Jeremiah is subsequently fired because he says his boss didn't approve of it, then admits he didn't like it either. Kurt confesses his feelings to Blaine, who tells Kurt that he cares for him but is terrible at romance, and does not want to risk damaging their friendship. The episode ends with the New Directions assembled at Breadstix, where the Warblers perform *Silly Love Songs* for Kurt's first *Lonely Hearts Club*.
