It seems Rachel is trying to take over Glee club in Will’s absence. Kurt tells Mercedes that nothing is happening with Blaine, he just likes having a friend he can relate to. Kurt’s idea is they get the substitute teacher Holly Holiday (Gwyneth Paltrow) to step in.

Kurt got the idea after Holiday led his English class in song when she subs. Holiday loves the idea.

Holiday shows up and seems to be the coolest teacher ever. She is convinced the club did poorly in the past because it wasn’t performing the songs it wanted to sing. Unlike Will, Holiday is into modern music and proves it by performing Cee-Lo’s “F#@$ You.” The kids love it.

Mercedes goes to dinner with Kurt and Blaine. She feels left out of most of their conversation.

Will comes into the Glee choir room as Holiday is having the kids re-paint the walls. The two teachers discuss teaching, with Holiday favoring a far less-structured environment. She says that in the current economy she can’t turn down the job.

Sue calls Mercedes and Holiday into her office after Mercedes put tots into her LeCar, causing $17,000 worth of damage. Holiday has to admit to Sue that she has no idea what she’s doing.

Holiday goes to see Will at his place. She breaks down and admits to being a terrible teacher. She flashes back to the beginning of her career when she was attacked by a student. Since then her life has been in constant motion. She is resigning. Terri walks in and gets angry thinking Holiday is his girlfriend. He tells her the previous night was a mistake and asks her not to come back. She says “you’re going to regret this.”

Kurt promises Mercedes she’ll find someone. She agrees to date Anthony.
