Over at the next lane, Will sits April down to have a serious talk - though how serious this can be is questionable she she's off her face on horse tranquillisers. She tells him she wants "back on the wagon", enjoying her born-again popularity and reliving her Glory Days. Will admits that it was always his dream to be able to sing with her. She pulls him up on the stage to do karaoke and the two belt out Heart's Alone.
After various bouts of running out of rehearsal and being sick the Glee kids start to wonder just what on earth is up with Quinn. Puck, feeling wronged that she's pretending the baby is Finn's, blurts out that she's in the family way. This scandal steals the thunder from Rachel's return to the club. When Miss Berry hears the news, she promptly smacks Finn in the face, realising that he was just flirting with her to get her to come back to Glee. He apologises and reveals his true intentions. But it isn't enough and once again Rachel leaves the club and with Sue granting her "complete artistic control" it seems that this time her storm-out is for good.
Despite the drama, the club's performance goes ahead as planned. Dressed as cow boys and cow girls, they perform the fitting Last Name, especially when they consider that their lead turns up off her face and plants one on Puck. Emma begs Will not to let her go on but with the club's reputation at stake he has no choice.
This is Rachel's first taste of life without Glee and she realises that she doesn't like it all that much. Luckily for her Will also realises that he wants the alcoholic out of the club. After getting the standing ovation she wants April decides that maybe she doesn't belong after all and that she should probably clean her act up and try and take another shot at Broadway.
Before the club go out for their final number, Will tells them that April has left. Just at the last moment Rachel comes back and apologises and offers herself up as her understudy, announcing that she's quit the play as it's the club that matters. Everything seems to go back to how it was before and the kids perform Somebody to Love with Rachel once again as their lead.
11 o'clock number
The whole gang step up to the plate and perform Queen's classic Somebody to Love. It's hard to fault the performance with perfect vocals from all, Mercedes' short but very powerful belt at the end stands out in particular. The chemistry between Finn and Rachel is still obvious despite the fact that any sort of relationship between the two stands in tatters. Overall it's simply great to see the whole cast truly enjoy what they're doing.

Final thoughts
Glee just keeps on giving and giving and with a brilliant cameo from Broadway veteran Kristen Chenoweth the show reaches new heights. The storylines and relationships between the characters are finally beginning to take shape and I'm really starting to invest in them. Despite the fact that Rachel is incredibly obnoxious and annoying I can't help but will her and Finn to get together. Surely he's going to realise at some point the baby isn't his. It could come out with its own mohawk for all we know.
