Meanwhile, relationships are tested and big decisions will be made in the first of six all-new episodes of GLEE counting down to the season finale May 24 on FOX.
Now in its sophomore season, GLEE is a biting musical comedy about a group of eager and ambitious students who strive to outshine their singing competition to win Nationals while navigating the cruel halls of McKinley High that has quickly become a pop-culture phenomenon.

To top it off, the genre-defying, award-winning series has been picked up through its third season.
