- Some McKinley alumni give New Directions advice about Sectionals. Elsewhere, Rachel and Kurt have a nontraditional Thanksgiving dinner.
- In the auditorium, Quinn and Puck sing "Know You're Not Alone (Gonna Make This Place You're Home)," joined by Santana, Mike Chang and Mercedes and Finn. They join up on the stage. "Home for the holidays, just like we promised," Quinn says.
Marley is psyched for sectionals and hoping not to let anybody down. She's been dieting in preparation.
Out at Breadstix, the grads wonder what's up with Rachel and Kurt. Nobody's heard from them.
In class, Finn introduces the returning grads and pairs them with the new kids. Puck is with his brother, Mike is with Ryder, Marley with Santana, Kitty with Quinn, Wade with Mercedes.
Marley and Blaine will do the duet and their big number will be "Gangnam Style." They're worried about teaching the new kids to dance.
After class, Jake tells Ryder he went out with Marley. Ryder says he's cool with it.
In NYC, Rachel and Kurt convince themselves and each other that they're right not to go home.
Back home, they hold auditions to see what guy will dance Gangnam lead. Ryder easily wins when Jake says it's not his style.
Santana, Quinn and Brittney teach the new girls about dancing as one. They ask for a demonstration and they put on a little "Come See About Me." Santana notices Marley looking a little green.
Kitty tells Quinn that she totally idolizes her and that Marley has been off since she started going out with Jake.
Marley asks him why he didn't show off his dance moves and he says he's trying to keep the peace with Ryder.
In NYC, Rachel is annoyed when Brody comes in as a sub for her dance class. He points out he couldn't have known she'd end up single when he slept with Cassie, but he says it won't happen again. He leads her through a foxtrot and asks about her Thanksgiving plans. He offers to come over and cook.
Back at McKinley, Quinn warns Jake to leave Marley alone. She thinks he's just trying to sleep with her because he's a Puckerman. She thinks he's distracting her and she won't be her best at sectionals.
Kurt turns out the lights at Vogue, but sees Isabelle (Sarah Jessica Parker) is still there. When he hears she doesn't have plans for Thanksgiving, he invites her and some friends over. He's trying to move on from Blaine, but she suggests accepting his apology might help.
Quinn gives Kitty tips. When she leaves, Santana says Kitty is giving Marley laxatives. She found them in her bag. Quinn thinks Santana is projecting and is just jealous of her. Quinn tells her she's dating her 35-year-old professor, who is separated from his wife.
She accuses Santana of being too scared to follow her dreams. Santana asks if her professor gets turned on by teen moms who barely visit their kid. Quinn slaps her and gets a slap back.
Brittney interrupts them.
Ryder practices Gangnam Style. "Are you dancing or impersonating a horny epileptic?" Jake asks.
Ryder is trying to memorize the song, but Jake tells him to stop over thinking it.
Jake puts the headphones on and shows him how it's done. He's trained in ballet.
In the apartment, Brody prepares the bird, flirting with Rachel.
Sectionals are about to start. Marley gives herself a pep talk. She's starving, but won't even eat a Tic Tac. Wade is performing in drag, despite what his parents want.
Finn calls everyone to "Show Circle," and Joe leads everyone in prayer. Finn tells them about coming together as a team.
The judges are introduced at sectionals, including the paper's obituary writer and the catfish queen. The Warblers are up first and begin with "Blow my Whistle" leading into "Live While We're Young." The crowd goes crazy and Marley gets really nervous.
At their orphans Thanksgiving, Kurt answers the knock at the door and a slew of people come in, ready for a party. Isabelle calls and makes her way over, then it's time for "Let's have a Kiki," turning the living room into a dance party.
In the audience, Sue is ready for Robin to wake up and start crying when the New Directions take the stage.
Will makes it there and joins Emma in the audience. The Mennonites are up next and sing a holiday medley.
New Directions are next. Sam peeks out through the curtain and sees Mr. Shue is there. Blaine takes a call from Kurt on the fire escape. Kurt tells him he's trying to forgive him and misses him. Kurt wants to have a heart to heart at Christmas and go ice skating.
Blaine says he loves him, and Kurt does, too. He comes in off the fire escape and gets a big hug from Isabelle.
Marley is wobbling and shaky backstage. Jake checks on her and assures her it'll be OK. She tells him she's sweating and feels like if they lose she'll be letting everyone down. Ryder interrupts to tell Jake to take the dance lead. It's showtime.
Sam is out first for Gangnam Style, which, of course, Tina sings.
Brittney and Jake dance the lead, he throws in some flips. Kitty winks at a judge like Quinn taught her. When the confetti falls, Marley gets dizzy and passes out at the end of the song.
