The New Rachel

Millie makes her debut as the new lunch lady at McKinley. Behind her back, the popular crew led by Kitty make mean jokes about her weight. They pressure Artie and the Glee Club into also making mean remarks about her which they do and these are heard by Millie's daughter, Marley.

Marley goes to see her mom after school who is sewing a J-Crew label onto her skirt so they don't seem poor. When Marley displays doubt about getting into Glee Club, her mother is quick to inform her that she has "magic in her throat," boosting her confidence. She also says that she will drive the car a couple of blocks away so people don't see her with Marley, Millie wants to protect Marley from Kitty and her mean remarks.

Later Marley tells her that she was the only person accepted into Glee Club and Millie congratulates her. Marley then informs her that the Glee Club were making fun of her weight, but she brushes it off saying that they're teenagers. Marley says she feels weird having to lie about her but her mom reminds Marley that she didn't have friends at her old school because of her and so she won't let that happen again. Mrs Rose tells her that this is Marley's shot to sit at the popular kids' table and tells her not to blow it.

When Marley sits with New Directions at lunch, Phil and Sugar start saying mean things about Mrs. Rose, angering Marley. Marley calls them out for being mean to which Kitty is taken aback. Marley then argues with Kitty saying "You don't know her, you don't know what her life is like." Kitty fights back asking, "And so, why do you care?" Marley then admits that Millie is her mom and moves saying she thought the Glee Club were different.

Later at her locker, Sam approaches Marley and says he knows her mom sews the labels into her clothes because his parents did the same when they had no money (he and the rest of the Glee Club then convince her to stay in New Directions).

In order to help her daughter out she makes a vow for the both of them to get on a strict diet.

Dynamic Duets

Jake tells her that he blew his chance with Marley but she says that he can change, just like she did. After that, Bobby calls her a dump truck and tells her to get back to work. Jake, once again, comes to her defense which only fuels Phil to insult her with even more insulting words. Phil and Bobby go on to insult Jake as their friends begin to circle.
