What's going down?
"And when I pulled the sandwich out I saw the face of God." Finn has seen the light after making
a grilled cheese sandwich, or a 'grilled cheesus' if you like, with the face of Jesus upon it. Keeping
half of the sandwich, the half with Jesus' face of course, he decides to find out what it's like to pray, asking God to let the football team win their first game, especially as he "sorta screwed Artie in the leg department". In return he offers to get the Glee club to honour him in song. The result of the game? McKinley wins.
Kurt is concerned with his dad's health and decides to substitute his normal breakfast of "a coke and two slim jims" for something more healthy, much to Burt's disappointment. What's annoying Burt more though is that Kurt's been skipping Friday night dinners, ever since Finn and his mum Carol started joining the two. The excuse this week? Kurt simply can't miss out going to sing along Sound of Music.
Finn has an announcement for the Glee club. Puck thinks that he's finally coming out. Yes, Finn has
found a man but this man is Jesus Christ and suggests they all sing about him. "I'm sorry but if I
wanted to sing about Jesus I would go to church," says Kurt. Quinn and Mercedes, however, are happy to go along with this. Will comes up with a compromise and suggests they sing about spirituality. Puck then decides to continue his streak of "only doing songs by Jewish artists" and busts out a rendition of "Only The Good Die Young" by Billy Joel. All of the Glee club are on their feet dancing, except for Kurt.
At Burt's mechanics he isn't looking so well but blames it on the salami he got from the gas station.
However, we next see him collapse to the ground and Emma running down the corridor to tell Will to break the bad news to Kurt. When they get to the hospital it isn't good as Burt remains unconscious, the doctor telling Kurt he doesn't know when he's going to wake up. In an emotional scene, Kurt begs his dad to squeeze his hand if he can hear him.
At Glee the next day the club rally around Kurt with support. Brittany offers him a book report,
written in crayon, on heart attacks to give to the doctors. Finn storms in angry that Kurt didn't let
him know what had happened. Kurt said that he didn't think to call him because Burt isn't his father
but Finn yells back that he's closest thing to one that he's ever going to get. Mercedes has been
struggling to choose what to say to Kurt but decides to sing a song about spirituality instead. She
performs a heart-wrenching version of Whitney Houston's "I Look To You". "Thank you, Mercedes.
Your voice is stunning but I don't believe in God," Kurt tells her. The rest of the club is shocked by his views.
Sue, as ever, has something to say about this week's theme at Glee. How did she even find out about it, Will asks? "I have cameras everywhere," she tells him. Will and Figgins don't see what the problem is but Sue doesn't think such topics should be touched within school. "If your kids want to praise Jesus in class I suggest they enrol at Sweet Holy Mother of God Academy on I Love Jesus street," she tells them.
Finn once more has a request from grilled cheesus. Even though Rachel's boobs "aren't that great" he'd still really like to touch them. The next day at Finn's house Rachel wants to discuss his new
found love for Jesus. She has concerns as she wants their babies to be raised in the Jewish faith. Finn agrees, which makes Rachel very happy. Happy enough for her to let him touch her boobs. And so grilled cheesus strikes once more.
Sue sends Brittany and "Jugs the clown" i.e. Santana to spy once more on the goings-on of Glee. They tell her that mostly everyone just feels bad for Kurt, Brittany even made him a card that said "heart attacks are just from loving too much". Santana doesn't see what the big deal is but lets slip that Kurt doesn't like it. Sue has some words of kindness for him; "I'm sorry for what you're
going through, Lady. I wouldn't wish it upon my worst enemy and I guess I wouldn't have to. Mary
Lou Retton is like ... an orphan or something." She tells him she wants to fight against what Will is
teaching but that she can't go to the school board without an official complaint from a student. Hint, hint, Kurt.
The next day Emma storms into Sue's office, angry at what she made Kurt do. All anybody was trying to do was just give that boy a bit of support, she says. "What horrible, horrible thing happened to you that made you such a miserable tyrant?" she asks. Sue tells Emma how she prayed every night to stop the bullying that went on towards her sister Jean, who has Down's Syndrome. After a while she realised that it wasn't that she wasn't praying hard enough, it was that no one was listening. "Asking someone to believe in a fantasy, however comforting, isn't a moral thing to do, it's cruel."
