Blurred Lines

***Blurred Lines*** is the third episode of *Glee: The New York Story*'s second season. It premiered November 23, 2013.

## Plot

The episode begins with Puck doing a voiceover as he reflects on his time in New York so far. He admits that he finds purpose in being in Finn's Glee Club, but in order to make some money, he needs to get a job. Puck decides to go to Rachel for help and ask her to look over his resume. Rachel is pleased that Puck is interested in bettering himself, but he's dismissive and instead asks what she thinks of his resume. She finds promise when she sees he included his pool cleaning business but falters when he lists things that aren't jobs. She decides to help him with his resume, which Puck is thankful for.

Finn is confronted by Cassandra July when he's spotted judging the new NYADA cheerleaders, and Cassandra gets into Finn's head about how he isn't sexy enough. Cassandra assures him that sex will sell at Regionals, but Finn is hesitant to do so. Finn mentions it with the boys, and Puck teases Finn that he lets Rachel wear the pants in the relationship. The boys then proceed to sing *Blurred Lines* to the girls in Glee Club, but the reaction isn't what he anticipated when the girls are disappointed in the boys. Rachel and Santana inform Finn that the song is showing a woman should be dismissive and they decide to perform their own song for the NYADA pep rally.

Rachel, Santana, Melissa, Vicky and Celina search for a song in the library catalog when they're confronted by Simone. While everyone is hesitant on letting Simone help them, Rachel agrees to have Simone on board, in which she helps them find the song perfect. Meanwhile, the boys discuss the girls reaction to their song and Finn becomes dejected since Rachel appeared disappointed in him. The boys agree to apologize to the girls for their performance, but they realize they're too late when the girls perform a raunchy song for the pep rally, which causes a sexes war in the choir room. The girls become frustrated with Finn, and they all quit Glee Club as a result.

That night, Finn decides to speak to Rachel and apologizes for his behavior in Glee Club, but Rachel questions if Finn thinks that she should be submissive. Finn assures her that he views her as his equal and the two of them make up. Finn then apologizes to Santana for his behavior and Santana accepts his behavior, with Rachel and Santana promising that they'll speak to the other girls to come to Glee Club the next day.

Prior to Glee Club, Puck tells Rachel that her resume for him got him a job at *Sam Ash*, in which Rachel expresses pride in him. Puck thanks her for her help and the two of them hug. The girls arrive at Glee Club and Finn follows, with him giving a heartfelt apology to Melissa, Vicky, Celina and Simone. Finn then reveals he is allowing Simone back in Glee Club, which is met with applause. As an apology, Finn allows the girls to take lead on the song for rehearsal, which ends the episode.
