Marry The Night

***Marry The Night*** is the fourth episode of *Glee: The New York Story's*second season. It premiered December 3, 2013.

## Plot

Rachel walks down the hallway doing a voice over, discussing how she needs to get out of her comfort zone. She expresses that she might be biting off more than she can chew regarding Broadway and Glee Club, but she decides to sign up for the NYADA cheerleading squad with hopes of adding to her resume.

At the Spotlight Diner, Kurt speaks to Finn, Rachel, Dani, Puck and Santana about the prospect of starting a Madonna cover band. While Santana, Dani, and Puck agree to join, Finn initially is hesitant because he is currently running the Glee Club. However, he is persuaded. Rachel on the other hand seems against joining the club due to her time constraints but Finn is able to change her mind. Finn ends up squeezing Rachel and gets her an ice pack after she says she's sore, with Santana wondering why Rachel is being secretive.

Kurt decides to hold auditions for the band, and they use NYADA as an audition space. When asked how many people are interested in auditioning, Finn mentions only one person, by the name of Starchild. Starchild comes to the audition and blows everyone away with his rendition of *Marry The Night*. While Santana wants to let him in the band now, Kurt mentions they would have to discuss it as a band. Finn interjects and says Starchild is invited into the band and tells him that Kurt is very excited to have him.

That evening, Rachel and Finn talk when Rachel reveals that she ended up joining the NYADA cheerleading team. While Finn is surprised, he is supportive of Rachel's decision. Rachel invites him to a practice so Finn can see it for himself, which Finn agrees to.

Meanwhile, Puck and Santana confront Kurt when they get a call from Starchild saying that Kurt didn't want him in the band. Kurt reveals his insecurities about having Starchild in the band, but Santana assures him that nothing will change if they add Starchild to the band. Puck and Santana later begin to argue and Kurt agrees to call Starchild back if they can take their arguing somewhere else.

The next day, Finn joins Rachel and Brody in the gymnasium where Rachel and Brody perform *Evacuate The Dancefloor* for Finn with the other cheerleaders. Rachel wonders what are Finn's thoughts on the manner, and Finn reveals he loved their performance. Meanwhile at the Spotlight Diner, Kurt meets with Starchild who reveals his name is Elliot Gilbert. Elliot reveals he created the Starchild persona so he would find his place in the world and admits he was intimidated of Kurt. Kurt and Elliot patch things up and Kurt allows Elliot back in the band, whether as Elliot or as Starchild. Santana and Rachel soon join Kurt and Elliot and try to figure out a band name. Santana suggests 'The Apocolipsticks' while Rachel suggests 'the Barbra Streisands'. Finally, Rachel suggests 'Pamela Lansbury' which Kurt, Elliot and Santana approve of. The band then sings *Brave* for their first band practice, which goes smoothly.
