Glee on the Rocks: 5x13 - "New Directions" All Over Again

The end of an era—or at least it should have been. In Glee 5×13, “New Directions,” the Glee Club is officially over, Sue has won, and McKinley’s choir room gets packed up for good this time. But instead of a graceful farewell to the kids we know and love, we get an episode written like a series finale… even though the show still had another season and a half to go. Oh, Glee.

Join us (and we mean all of us) as we unpack the chaos: Holly Holiday roller-skating the Animal Husbandry Club into a bubble party, Tina incurring yet another head injury, Quinn and Puck getting back together for the thrill of it all, and Brittany gifting Santana “the lesbian of flowers." Meanwhile, Rachel and Santana feud, make up, and feud again—all while the writers bend over backwards to absolve Rachel of five seasons’ worth of sins. Not in our house.

We talk “Don’t Stop Believin’” attempt number 47, the farewell montage that really should have ended the series, and Sue’s shockingly heartfelt declaration of love (respect? enemies to lovers endgame??) for Will Schuester. It’s messy, sentimental, and pure Glee.

Maybe the episode wasn’t a delight—but we were. But we're biased.
