We open in the high-school cafeteria. Sue approaches Will, demanding to know the glee club’s set list for sectionals. He is surprised. “I didn’t know you were all that interested in glee club anymore,” Will says. Not so. He grudgingly agrees to hand over the list. And it only gets worse. Later, Sue wants names of competing schools and zip codes. All of this leads Will to a shocking conclusion. “She’s leaking our competitive set lists to other schools!” he complains to Emma, who suggests going directly to the competing schools to find out.
Cut to Will going through heavy security to meet Grace Hitchens, an administrator and glee-club coach at competing Jane Adams High School. “I think our cheerleading coach is passing along our set list for sectionals,” Will says. Hitchens denies resorting to cheating in order to beat a bunch of “privileged misfits.” Feeling guilty, Will invites her team to use the McKinley auditorium, as Jane Adams doesn’t have one. Cut to the Jane Adams glee club singing and dancing on the McKinley stage. The theme of the number: bootylicious. Sample lyric: “I hope you can handle all the jelly that I have.” Will is both perplexed and impressed. “It’s called hairography,” says Rachel, explaining the eye-catching hairstyles mask what is otherwise a mediocre performance. Will doesn’t seem convinced. In fact, the performance has given him an idea. “I think I found our new number for sectionals,” he tells the club later. “We’re going to do the title song from ‘Hair.’” Will also brought wigs. Rachel sighs.
Meanwhile, pregnant Quinn continues to pretend the father of her unborn baby is Finn. Oddly, Puck, the read dad, is acting quite supportive of his baby mama. “Maybe I didn’t give Puck enough of a chance,” Quinn thinks to herself. But how to throw Finn off the scent so she can give Puck a “test drive?” Easy. Quinn approaches Kurt with an idea to give Rachel a makeover. Quinn’s hope is that Finn will be distracted by Rachel, although Kurt doesn’t know that part of the scheme. He agrees to take the case, noting that makeovers are like “crack” to him. And so it begins. Kurt explains that his goal is to make Rachel the most desired girl in school. She, however, confesses to only having eyes for one boy. “I’m in love with Finn,” Rachel says. Retorts Kurt: “Really? I understand completely.” He then decides that she must look like a “ho,” as Finn goes for women of questionable morals. Clearly, Kurt is sabotaging his own makeover out of jealousy. Quinn will not be pleased.
