Glee: The King of Madonna

Sue (Jane Lynch), flips open her journal.Madonna, she says in voiceover as she writes.Simply saying the book out loud makes me feel powerful.She continues to save about how she has worshiped Madonna ever since she was a small daughter and is positive she is the most powerful woman to make always walked the expression of the earth.

Sue heads into Principal Figginss (Iqbal Theba) office and instates a new policy whereby they blast Madonna songs throughout the train all day.Figgins thinks shes crazy.How will the kids possibly be capable to contract with all that music blasting?Sue leans over his desk warning him that its been her ambition to honor Madonna and this year her Cheerios have the gift to do so.Hes not going to pop her dream.Do you not see how the blackmail process works?With no other choice, Figgins has to do it.Ordering her Cheerios to act more like Madonna, she tells them theyre leaving to cause to begin playing and thinking like her.Theyre going to have to begin dating younger men.She leave no longer be acknowledging that they have last names. In the choir room with only the girls, Rachel asks if, hypothetically of course, she went to a Wiggles concert with a boy recently, and when they started making out and he mumbled, We should do it, and she said no, he got all mad and stormed out?How do I stay a guy from getting mad at me for saying no? she asks.Santana (Naya Rivera) and Brittnay (Heather Morris) are no help, Mercedes (Amber Riley) answers, Look girl, dont ask me.The last guy I liked was mayor of gay town, and Tina (Jenna Ushkowitz) adds, We simply get to assume that guys dont like about our feelings. Unable to proceed from overhearing their conversation Mr. Schuester (Matthew Morrison) walks over and, concerned, asks them if theyre really having that many boy problems.Quinn (Dianna Agron) tells him that he wouldnt understand.He is a guy, after all.Well maybe you should speak to somebody else near it, he offers.Like, Miss Pillsbury.Rachel says she tried that, but Emma, uncomfortable with this subject, suggested she speak to her mom (cant, Rachel has two gay dads), or her rabbi (also awkward).Arent you a guidance counselor? Rachel asks her, confused. Worried that the girls arent being treated well by the boys in school, Will goes to speak to Emma.I get that this field of interests is, uh, your blind spot, but I wish to serve you so next time a girl comes in asking you those kinds of questions, youll be prepared, he tells her honestly.When he sees her face, he quickly realizes that sounded wrong, and rushes to add, I-Im not saying you want to make sex. No, he quickly answers, No, no, no, thats not what you were offering, why would you offer thatit wasnt what iswishful thinking and all that, she babbles to herself, clearly thinking that was what he was offering and emotional about it. What this is actually all about, he says, getting back on track, is teenage girls feeling like they take no power.Right, Emma agrees.I mean looking at their role models.You have Britney Spears and her shaved head, Lindsay Lohan looks like something out of Master of the Rings, Ann Coulter.She stops and he offers, Lets go together on this.Try to get a way to take them find more positive about themselves.Emma likes it.Well alter the man one girlfriend at a time.Well be like a girl-saving team.She laughs.And maybe on the way, he says with a lopsided grin, maybe we can see a way to assist you too. Walking down the hallway, Will hears music and steps into the gym to watch Sues cheerleaders perform a Madonna number.Hes impressed.Sue on the other handSloppy freakshow babies! she shouts through her bullhorn.Somewhere in the English countryside in a stately manor Madonna is weeping. They hover on their stilts.Hit the showers!Will tells Sue that hes really impressed, and she tells him that she wants her girls to acquire all the lessons Madonna has to offer, strength, empowerment.Will ignores her remark about his hair, and leaves, inspired. Taking a bill out of Sues playbook, Will makes this weeks Glee assignment Madonna.The girls are excited.The boys, not so much.Guys, Mr. Schuester says, it has come to my attention that many of you havent been treating the ladies of our group very nicely lately.Youre disrespectful, bullying, sexist, and I hate to say it, misogynistic.Finn (Cory Monteith) has no thought what that even means, Brittnay confuses it for a massage therapist.What it means, Will explains, What it means, is put yourself in their shoes for a change.He adds that culturally, Madonnas music transcends bounds because her music is almost being strong, independent, and confident, no matter what your sex.But more than anything, he says, Madonnas musical message is about equality, and that is something I mean you GUYS want to act on.The boys exchange sideways looks.Kurt (Chris Colfer) raises his handwriting and says hed wish to embark on a movie project with Mercedes in respect of Madonnas look, and Mr. Schue thinks its a capital idea.Puck (Mark Salling), still isnt down with it all.He doesnt think Madonna translates well into showchoir.Rachel couldnt disagree more.With the aid of the girls, she proves him wrong by singing Express Yourself.

With all the cheerleaders walking around dressed in several stages of Madonna, Brittnay tells Santana about her new boyfriend.Hes super cute and seven.Santanas worried.If she doesnt find a younger man soon Coach Sylvesters gonna kick her off the team.Brittnay suggests Finn.Hes like three years younger than her.Santana reminds her that they already tried that, but Brittnay counters, Trust me.The way to get a man to be you forever?Take his virginity.Madonna, like, wrote a call about it.HmmSantana corners Finn at his cabinet and suggests it.He turns her down, he has feelings for somebody else, but Santana tells him that Rachels still dating Jesse.Finally, she convinces him. Emma asks Sue into her power to ask her why her role is the solitary station where Madonna isnt being played.Sue tells her that shes not suitable of the power Madonna.You take none of her self confidence, her office over her body, no sexual magnetism.She compares her to the pandas at the zoo who refuse to mate, and tells her that she had her intercom disconnected.Sue walks out, leaving Emma staring after her. In the choir room, Finn confronts Rachel about still dating Jesse, and she tries lying first, but that doesnt work, and she asks him not to order anyone else.Fine, but if it leads to something bad for all of them, dont require any more friendship from me. Noted.They rehearse their next Madonna song, Open Your Heart. Angry that Wills butting in on her Madonna tribute, Sue catches him in the hallway and demands he quit using Madonna songs in Glee.Will points out that her songs are public domain, and when Sue mercilessly continues to rip him apart, insulting his hair yet again, Will finally stands up to her and insults her hair right back, Oh, by the way, hows that Florence Henderson look workin out for you? Perhaps you should try a new setting on your Flo-v. Oh snap!Will walks off and Mercedes and Kurt see Sues angry reaction, but she cant hide her real hurt from them.They end by her office later on to separate her that they saw her cheek after Mr. Schue insulted her hair.Sue tells them to finish the door, then admits that when she was young, her parents were famous Nazi hunters, so he had to require charge of her baby by herself.Mercedes frowns.Wait, that would have you, like, 30.29, Sue corrects.And heres the truth.I mercilessly pick on Will Schuesters lustrous wavy hair because Im jealous.There, I said it.They believe they can help.Theyd like to use the Cheerios on their new image and serve her regain a new front at the same time.Sue studies them.Interesting Rachel and Jesse have a secret meeting in the Sondheim music section, and he apologizes for pressing her into going on the way, and tells her hes willing to wait.She tells him shes ready. Back at school Emma catches Will before he can leave, and tells him that not having Madonna music blasted in her situation made her understand that shes not in command of her life or her own body.Okay So I want to assume hold of myself and my body, just like Madonna.Which is whyIm planning on doing the foul with you tonight at your place.Foreplay shall commence at 7:30 sharp.She hesitates nervously.So?What do you think.Not that it matters, she hastily adds, and he tells her that he couldnt agree more.Great.Cool.They part.Will smiles.
Vogue, take 1.Artie directs Kurt and Mercedes music video starring Sue Sylvester, who does an amazing remake of the Madonna video, testing out new looks throughout.The elaborate music video and Principal Figginss insistence that shes already an amazing strong woman, convinces Sue that she doesnt require a new look after all.She tosses the cone bra and goes backward to the tail suits.All is right with the domain again. That night Rachel curls her hair as Jesse calls out, Are you ready?Across town in a hotel, Finn stares at himself in the mirror.Is he ready?At Wills apartment, Emma stares into the mirror too.Is she?The music starts I made it done the wilderness, Rachel sings. Somehow I made it through, Emma sings. I didnt know how helpless I was, Finn adds, leading into Will singing, Until I constitute you. They all proceed to talk Like a Virgin, and in the end Rachel and Emma just cant do it.Finn does, but realizes his mistake.He doesnt feel any differently, Because it didnt think anything.He now regrets his choice.He lies to Rachel the following day, saying he didnt go through with hit.She lies right back, saying that she did.He tells her hes happy for her.They part. Emma knocks on Wills office door, and he stands up, telling her thats hes been calling her all weekend, hes been worried.She tells him that shes embarrassed, I really precious to go through with it Will.You were so gracious, and gentle, and, handsome, she tells him with a subdued laugh.And it felt so beneficial to be nigh to you in that way, I justI dont know why I just freak out like that. Stop, stop, stop, stop, he interrupts gently.You dont want to rest with me to try anything.You took possession of your body on Friday when you told yourself that you werent readyAnd then ran out of my apartment with no place on, he finishes, and she sweetly asks, Theyre my favorites, did you bring them?They sit low and he tells her he feels really bad.Hes been trying to get the guys in Glee to cover the girls right, and I havent been walkin the walk. I never should have agreed to get over that night.She reminds him that she did kind of throw herself at him, and he answers, That is the point.He thinks theyre falling into a pattern here, so they hold no more dating until hes officially divorced.When will that be?I filed today. Its a start.So, while theyre waiting, our health union covers a counselor.Someone who will fall to train and touch with Emma whenever she wants.Emma is touched.And, Will adds with a smile pulling out her favorite shoes.I polished them myself.Taking her place and the board with the counselors name on it, Emma gets up, quietly saying an earnest, Thank you. He nods.She smiles and leaves. Jesse knocks on Wills door after Emma leaves.Mr. Schuester?Yes?Im Jesse St. James. Glee is rocked with another blow as Mr. Schue announces that Jesse has officially transferred to their school.Hes in the order now.Everyone but Rachel is horrified.Now the guys have no luck at solos, and they even think Jesses only there to ruin them.But theres nothing Will can do.He checked the paperwork. Its legit.He reminds the kids that alwaysyone who has ever tried out for the society has gotten in, and that means Jesse can connect to.Confused, Brittnay raises her hand.Mr. Schue, is he your son?Will gives her a confused look, and Jesse tells Rachel that hes willing to break up another title to be with her.From the top! Kurt and Mercedes lead the way in the Cheerios rendition of 4 Minutes, driving the crowd wild, and break the word to Mr. Schue that theyve joined the Cheerios. Back in the choir room, Mr. Schuester leads the boys in a rendering of What it Feels Like for a Girl, and at the end Puck still isnt down with it.I like being a dude.Thats because its light to BE a dude, Finn answers.They understand that they have been degrading and objectifying the ladies in the club.Kurt points out that the club shouldnt work, but it does because they esteem each other.They want to begin seeing each other as individuals, really see each other.The boys apologize to the girls. Lesson learned. Finn welcomes Jesse to the lodge and tells him hell try to stop away from Rachel.They shake.Finn tells him theyve put together a new Madonna number, why doesnt Jesse come with him and hell fill him in?Great.In the auditorium, with the added help of a gospel choir, they all talk Like a Prayer.Happiness and authority has been restored.
