After his emotionally disastrous trip to New York Finn is back in Lima working in an autobody shop, until Artie asks him to help direct the school musical with him. After hitting a couple of dead ends looking for a Danny, Finn lures one in from the football team, tricking Ryder Lynn into auditioning.

Sue is adamantly against McKinley's own transgender student Unique playing the role of Rydell High's very own bad girl with a heart of gold, Rizzo, but despite the way she gets there Sue's actually worried that people won't be open-minded enough to accept Unique on stage. Schue and Emma are still arguing on whether she should go to Washington and even though they love each other, they decided he should do the trip alone.
