Glee: Special Education Review (3.5/5)

New Directions headed back to Sectionals this week, although it would have been nice to actually see more of the aforementioned competition in Special Education! Half of the episode was spent developing the plot in ways fans probably didn't react well to, starting with Rachel jealously cheating on Puck and ultimately seeing her relationship with Finn come to an end. Not only are these new advances that will probably shift Glee back to its awkward status quo that dragged the show down so far in the first series. When the club finally did face the music, however, things got much better, resulting in great new covers of 'Hey Soul Sister', 'The Time Of My Life' and 'Valyrie' that will likely go down as fan favourites once they're out on CD. All in all, while Special Education spends too much of its first half dabbling in areas it shouldn't even have gone down, the competition of Sectionals itself just about made up for that shortcoming.
