1x19: Rock N' Roll

Episode Synopsis: After realizing that Glee Club member Celina (Cassadee Pope) is acting out, Finn decides to get to the bottom of it, realizing that he and Celina have more in common than they think. Meanwhile, Cassandra July (Kate Hudson) informs Finn that his Glee Club needs ten members in order to compete at Sectionals, prompting Finn to find three more members.

"All right, Finn Harmonic!" Finn clapped his hands in the NYADA auditorium a week later, staring down at the Glee Club while Rachel sat on the sidelines, giving him a reassuring smile. "So as we all know, Sectionals is coming up and we have to be not great, but awesome. Therefore, we need to come up with some songs for our set list and then we have to practice them. I don't want Sectionals to sneak up on us and then we lose because we weren't prepared. So does anyone have any suggestions for songs? I'll take anything at this point."

"Row, Row, Row Your Boat." Vicky smirked towards Finn, giving him a friendly chuckle. Finn chuckled back at her, shaking his head.

"Yeah, don't be a smartass." Finn jokingly said, causing the other members to laugh. Vicky pretended she was bowing as Finn moved along, staring at the other members. "Anyone have anything else…and please no nursery rhymes? I don't want Madame Tibideaux thinking that we're incompetent and that our club should be shut down. So, anyone else have any ideas? Simone? You usually like to shine, do you have any suggestions?"

"As a matter of fact, I was waiting for the day you would ask." Simone took out her notepad, skimming through the songs and showing Finn. "And I put down my key in case you decide to give me the solo."

"It's called Sectionals not 'The Simone Show'." Celina retorted, glaring at Simone. Everyone was a bit surprised that Celina had spoken up about Simone's overbearing behavior. Celina had never said anything—or sang anything in the time that she was here, so to hear her lash out at Simone kind of surprised Finn.

"All right…" Finn looked at Celina, still surprised that she had said something, but his amazement was short lived when Cassandra July entered the auditorium with some of her dancers, holding tape measures and balloons.

"And the pole can go right there…" Cassandra pointed to the middle of the auditorium. Finn looked at Rachel with confusion, seeing Rachel shrug her shoulders as if she didn't know what was going on as well.

"Um, excuse me." Finn walked over to Cassandra, crossing his arms. "We're having Glee practice right now."

"Right, I see that…and you think I care, why?" Cassandra shrugged her shoulders, looking at Finn.

"You should care. There's a class going on right now." Finn felt his voice get firmer as he stared at Cassandra. "We're rehearsing for Sectionals so if you don't mind."

"Oh, you're rehearsing for Sectionals?" Cassandra gazed over at the group, letting out a small chuckle. "I thought this was a meeting of 'The Abstinence Club'. Although I'm pretty sure that you had sex with the hobbit over there more times than I can count—if that's the case you might want to step down as president."

"Cassandra, can you just leave?" Finn glared at Cassandra, the other students letting out a sight gasp. "You can't interrupt our lesson like this, especially if we have any chance of competing at Sectionals."

"Well I hate to break it to you bub…but your little club is going to get disqualified right off the bat." Cassandra shrugged her shoulders, seemingly okay with the news she just told Finn.

"Wait, what?" Finn shook his head not understanding.

"You need at least ten members in order to compete. I see five over there. You're missing five more members." Cassandra smirked.

"I'm six and Rachel is seven." Finn pointed to Rachel yet keeping his eye contact on Cassandra.

"You're still missing three members." Cassandra smirked. "Good luck finding new members because no one is going to want to join your dopey club."

"And why not?" Finn continued glaring at Cassandra, noticing she was walking up the steps of the auditorium.

"Because I told everyone that the only way to get in is to have sex with you." Cassandra let out a sly grin, focusing on Finn. "Even the guys." Finn stood there, clutching the clipboard that was in his hand, feeling the anger boil through his body. He spent all this time whipping the kids he had into shape—that he didn't realize that they needed more members in order to compete. Finn didn't want to say it, but he was afraid that the Glee Club was as good as doomed.

"Please tell me that what Cassandra is saying is a lie and that we don't need ten members, and that she's only doing this so she can get into my head." Finn paced back and forth in the diner the next afternoon after he finished wiping down the tables, staring at Rachel who was sitting in one of the booths, reading the show choir manual.

"Okay, here we are." Rachel said, reading the excerpt in the book. "Each show choir that is to compete needs the required ten members in order to qualify for the Sectionals, Regionals and Nationals showcase. However, all ten members do not need to be on stage during every number."

"All right, so we do need ten members." Finn sat down next to Rachel, holding the rag close to him. "Rachel we're good as screwed."

"No we are not." Rachel shook her head with a small smile. "We're going to find three more members somewhere, anywhere. I promise you. All right?" Finn released a deep breath, nodding his head to Rachel with a sigh.

"All right, so where are we going to find three more members to join us because according to Cassandra July, no one wants to join the club since they all think I'm some weirdo." Finn ran a hand through his hair, causing Rachel to chuckle.

"No one thinks you're a weirdo." Rachel put a hand on Finn's shoulder. "I don't think that."

"And you're probably the only one." Finn added, looking down at the handbook. "I thought that I had everything under control when I was running this club. I thought that maybe I could have made Mr. Schuester proud of me because I was following what he taught us. I wanted to be a Glee Club teacher more than anything and now…I don't know, I feel like I failed the club because I forgot to find three more members."

"You did not fail the club." Rachel soothingly told him. "Finn we have time. We can find three more members before Sectionals. I promise you."

"But where?" Finn rubbed his temples. "I mean, we don't have enough boys. Dustin and I can't handle the male part of the club alone. Maybe I should ask Brody if he wants to join the Glee Club."

"Wait, you want to ask Brody?" Rachel seemed surprised. "I'm sorry Finn but I thought that you hated Brody."

"We actually made up right before I fainted and ended up in the hospital." Finn said. "I mean, he could be our last hope of finding another male for the club. And then we'd have to only find two members to join."

"I don't know Finn…" Rachel sighed. "Asking Brody to join seems like a long shot. Are you sure about this?"

"I've never been surer about this." Finn got up from the counter seats when he noticed there was a customer. Rachel got up from the seats as well, but Finn and Rachel gazed over to see the customer was none other than Celina—and she looked like she was trying to hide something.

"Oh, hi Celina." Rachel waved to her classmate. Celina waved back, looking down at her feet. Celina wondered if coming to the diner was such a good idea, but she needed to talk to someone right now.

"Finn, can I talk to you alone?" Celina asked, crossing her arms in front of her. Finn nodded his head, leading Celina towards the kitchen while giving Rachel an 'I'll tell you later' glance. Finn entered the kitchen with Celina, leaning against the sink as she ran a hand through her hair. "It has to do with the Glee Club."

"Oh, okay that sounds great." Finn nodded his head with a smile. "Did you want to sing a song during Glee Club or…"

"No." Celina shook her head, feeling tears come to her eyes. "No, I don't want to sing during Glee Club. I came here because I felt that you had the right to know that…I quit." Finn's smile diminished, a frown now appearing on his face.

"Wait, what?" Finn walked closer to Celina, wondering what had prompted her from suddenly wanting to quit the club. "Celina, you can't quit the club…we need you."

"No, you don't." Celina shook her head. "Let's face it, Cassandra July is right. If we don't have enough members then there's no way that we can compete. Hence why I'm quitting the Glee Club." Finn found something odd about Celina's disbandment form the Glee Club, especially so suddenly. She was on the verge of tears while telling Finn that she wanted to leave—which made Finn question if Celina wanted to leave at all.

"Celina, why are you doing this?" Finn sounded a bit disappointed. "You were always such a team player, why are you going to quit now when we're so close to Sectionals?"

"Because Finn, you don't really know what you're doing in that auditorium!" Celina shouted. "You think that you know something because you won a High School National Championship. Let me tell you, this is College. College is different from High School. Let's just face it, Finn. You're lost and you don't know anything about running a show choir group. I quit…it's as simple as that." Celina walked out of the kitchen, going past the doors, leaving Finn feeling hurt. All the work that he had put in the Glee Club—it was all for not. He had to admit it, Celina was right. Finn didn't know anything about running a college show choir group, and it began to make him think that he was worthless. Finn exited the diner kitchen, spotting Rachel, as she looked walked over with an order.

"Finn, table five wants a Cesar Salad." Rachel handed Finn the slip, but noticed he was on the verge on the tears. "Finn…what's the matter." Finn simply took the order and walked over to the kitchen. After he handed the order to the cook, he went to the bathroom where he let out his emotions. All of Finn's insecurities came out via tears, as he sat in the bathroom and had a long, hard cry.

"Finn!" Rachel yelled as she entered the bedroom later that night, holding some folders in her hand. "Finn, I found some songs that I think the Glee Club could do and…" Rachel stopped in her tracks, noticing Finn sitting on the bed looking frustrated, and possibly even saddened. "Finn? Are you okay?" Rachel walked over to her fiancé, sitting in the bed next to him and rubbing his shoulders. "You seemed out of it ever since Celina went to talk to you today. Did something happen?" Finn didn't say anything as Rachel continued rubbing his back. After what seemed like an eternity, Finn got up from the bed and started to pace around the room, Rachel noticing his anger.

"She quit the Glee Club." Finn said, running a hand through his hair. "Celina quit the Glee Club."

"What?" Rachel got up from the bed, making her way to Finn. "I don't get it, why did she quit the club? She seemed to have loved it there."

"I don't know, but she did tell me that I have no idea what I'm doing with that club, especially since we don't have enough members to even compete." Finn composed himself, feeling his voice breaking slightly. "The sad part, she's right. I can act like I know what I'm doing up there all I want but in reality I have no clue what I'm doing. I thought I could just skate by and possibly bring home a Sectionals trophy for NYADA…instead we might not be able to compete."

"Finn…" Rachel embraced him into a tight hug, rubbing his back as he gripped onto her. "You really don't see how special you truly are, do you?"

"Oh yeah? How special can I possibly be? I doomed the Glee Club." Finn sighed.

"Finn Hudson, those kids adore you, and they seem to love being in the Glee Club because you make it so much fun. You're a great leader, and if Celina doesn't want to be in the club anymore then it's her loss. I just want you to know, even if the club does disband and it's just me and you, I'd still be there to follow every word you say. Do you know why? Because I believe in you, that's why. I know that you're smart, you're talented, and you have the good judgment to do this. Don't let what one person said define you."

"I just wanted to make Mr. Schue proud, Rachel." Finn explained. "He's the reason that I'm doing this…and this is the only thing I know how to do well without screwing up. But I already screwed it up because we don't have enough members and someone else just quit."

"Finn, everyone under the sun used to quit the Glee Club." Rachel reminded him. "But we'd always come back because we realized there's no place like home. Glee Club was our home. As for making Mr. Schue proud, you already have just by taking over the Glee Club and showing responsibility. I know you worked so hard with this club, so we're going to find those other members to join and then we're going to compete. And when you're singing and you look out into the audience and see Mr. Schue sitting there watching, that would be your way of telling him 'I led this club to this point and I'm not going to let anyone or anything get in my way of winning'. You had that drive when it came to being the quarterback of the football team. Now it's time to be our quarterback and lead us to a championship and Regionals." Rachel snaked her arms around Finn's neck, gazing into his eyes. "So what do you say Quarterback? Are you going to lead us or are you going to lead us." Finn grinned at Rachel, leaning in and pressing a kiss to her lips, the smile still evident. Rachel was right. Finn had the drive and the passion to do this. He was going to lead them to a championship no matter how long it took. As long as Finn knew he had Rachel's confidence in him, then there was nothing that Finn couldn't accomplish.

The next afternoon at work, Finn, Rachel, Santana and Kurt sat in the cubicle eating their lunch before they had to go back to their shift. Finn was looking down at the show choir rulebook, trying to think of ways to get members. As Finn sat there reading the manual, Kurt, Santana and Rachel kept their gaze on him, wondering if he was truly all right.

"Finn, you've been reading that book ever since you woke up this morning." Kurt said. "Don't you think that you're obsessing over this?"

"I'm obsessing because this is important to me." Finn simply said, still reading the book. Santana and Rachel gazed at one another, but Santana's eyes wandered over to Dani who was busy taking orders, avoiding Santana's gaze. Finn looked up from his book, noticing Santana's gazing over at Dani, feeling a bit saddened for his friend. "Is Dani talking to you or is she still a little mad?"

"She's still mad at me." Santana sighed. "Honestly I wouldn't blame her if she never spoke to me again. I did do something horrible."

"I'm sure she's going to forgive you eventually." Finn reasoned with Santana. "No one can stay mad at a person for long."

"I'm sorry, did I miss something?" Rachel looked to Finn, Kurt and Santana.

"Nothing much, just the fact Santana cheated on Dani with Brittany while Brittany was here and Dani was in Oakland." Kurt explained. Santana gave Kurt a steely glare, causing Kurt to silence himself. "Sorry, it's just…you should really work on talking to Dani. If Brittany can forgive you for leaving her for Dani then I'm sure Dani can forgive you for cheating on Brittany."

"Well when you put it that way, Kurt." Santana feigned the kindness in her voice, still giving Kurt a strong glare.

"Sorry." Kurt put his hand up, going back to Finn. "Finn, can you please get your head out of the book? I mean, come on…"

"No, I need to find a way to get ten members so we can compete during Sectionals." Finn answered, still going through the book.

"And you think ten members are going to pop out of the book and help you compete at Sectionals?" Kurt wondered. "If you want the rest of the members then you need to go out there and find them. Sitting here isn't going to do you any good."

"There's a problem with that." Finn sighed. "Cassandra July, the dance teacher from hell told everyone that I'm some weirdo that sleeps with everyone since that's the only way into the Glee Club."

"Wait, seriously?" Santana scoffed, noticing Finn giving her a look.

"Yes, seriously. No one is going to want to join the club now that everyone has taken her word for it." Finn put his head on the desk as Santana and Kurt glanced at one another.

"Finn, do you mind if I ask you a question? Kurt wondered.

"Ask away." Finn kept his head on the desk but used his finger to point at his brother.

"Can you recruit members outside of NYADA? I mean surely there has to be something in the rules that you can." Finn looked up at Kurt, noticing his brother was in a train of thought. "If April Rhodes could join the Glee Club for a spell even when she didn't go to school there, why can't you recruit someone outside of the school?" Rachel grabbed the handbook, going to the section listing the qualifications of needing new members.

"Kurt's right, Finn." Rachel said, gazing at him. "There's no rule saying you can't recruit anyone outside of the school. It just says you need ten members."

"All right, so even if I decided to recruit members outside of the school, there's no way that anyone on a whim is going to want to join the Glee Club." Finn reasoned.

"Yes, that's possibly true but in order to get results you have to work at it." Kurt smirked, looking over at Santana with a grin. Santana knew exactly where this was going as she motioned the band over in the corner to start playing music. "You know what you have to do, Finn?"

"What?" Finn asked. Santana and Kurt glanced at each other before turning to Finn with a smirk.

"You gotta work, bitch." Santana and Kurt spoke in unison, getting up from the seats and making their way to the other dancers, leaving Finn in a shocked daze.

Finn, Rachel, Kurt and Santana entered a group hug while everyone started applauding, and that was when Finn had a brain spark. He eyed Kurt and Santana with a smile, noticing that they were looking over at Finn in confusion.

"Hey, Santana…Kurt…" Finn slyly said. "The NYADA show choir book said anyone can join, right?"

"Yes, anyone can join." Kurt didn't see where Finn was getting at. Finn cleared his throat as he took a deep breath, knowing that this was a good idea and that it could have worked.

"Join the Glee Club. The both of you."

The next afternoon Finn sat in the auditorium, looking down at sheet music that he had in his hand, getting ready to prepare for another lesson. Finn heard the auditorium door open, expecting Rachel to enter the room, but instead it was Simone. Simone stopped short of Finn, gazing at him as he continued to look at the sheet music.

"What can I help you with today, Simone?" Finn asked with not much energy.

"Why do you hate me so much?" Simone blurted out. Finn looked up at Simone, raising an eyebrow.

"What?" Finn wondered. "I don't hate you Simone."

"Well it seems that way." Simone crossed her arms. "I'm supposed to get the solo for Sectionals; instead you decided that we're all going to do a group number! What kind of teacher are you?"

"I'm a teacher that's fair Simone, that's what kind of teacher I am." Finn said. "Maybe if I had been fairer in this class, Celina would have stayed."

"Celina didn't quit the Glee Club because she wanted solo's, Dumbo." Simone didn't care if she sounded rude at this point. Finn gazed up, holding the sheet music close to him, surprised that Simone had called him a name.

"Wha…what are you talking about?" Finn crossed his arms, feeling his patience was already tested.

"If you looked at Celina's arms during the last Glee Club practice, you'd realize that there's something wrong with her." Simone shrugged her shoulders, sitting down in one of the seats. "She suddenly was insubordinate, so that must mean that there's something up."

"How well do you know Celina, Simone?" Finn became interested, the anger he had from Simone making fun of his smarts disappearing. "I mean, maybe there's something I can do to get her to come back if you tell me."

"I don't know her that well, no one does." Simone said, shrugging her shoulders. "But I do know this…Celina has been sheltered to herself. I sometimes wonder why. It turns out that maybe Celina might be dealing with things at home. I know she lives with her boyfriend in SoHo."

"She lives with her boyfriend in SoHo?" Finn sat down next to Simone, before tensing up. "You're not going to kiss me if I sit here, are you?"

"No." Simone shook her head, seeming actually considerate. "Look Finn, I hate everyone in Glee Club I'll admit…but I want to perform in front of crowd and I want to win something. The only way that we're going to do that is if we get Celina back in the Glee Club. If there's anything I suggest…I suggest you go and talk to her. She's too quiet to just lash out like that."

"Where can I find her now?" Finn asked, getting up from his seat.

"I last saw her fencing." Simone answered. Finn nodded his head as he exited the auditorium off to find Celina—but just as Finn left, Brody came in another side door staring over at Simone.

"So…" Brody got down from the auditorium stage, walking up to her. "How's the plan coming along?"

"It's coming along good…" Simone smirked, still staring at Brody. "So are you and Finn like besties now?"

"That's what he thinks." Brody shrugged his shoulders, giving Simone the same smirk. "That Hudson kid is too gullible for his own good. So what's next?"

"It's simple you two…" Simone and Brody turned their heads to see Cassandra walking down the ramp of the auditorium, giving them a chuckle. "Brody's going to make Finn look bad and join his little club just so he can have enough members for his stupid Glee Club…but Brody's going to find a way to expel Hudson. Then Simone, you're going to hit one faulty note so that the Glee Club doesn't win and they're disbanded…and then of course because of my recommendation, you're going to crush Rachel Berry during Funny Girl callbacks. That way Finn's expelled, Rachel doesn't get the role she dreams of, they'll blame each other and both of them will go running into your arms."

"And that sounds ever-so devilish." Simone clapped her hands.

"Yeah, it does sound devilish." Brody agreed. Cassandra patted both of their shoulders, making her way up the ramp and leaving the auditorium in an orderly fashion. "All right, so where's Finn so I can tell him that I'll join his dopey club?"

"He's taking care of business right now." Simone said with a small smile. "Don't worry though…he's getting a member back so we can have the qualifying ten members…and that is when our plan will strike." Simone walked past Brody, heading out of the auditorium while Brody stood there with a proud smile on his face. Little did Brody know Santana and Kurt were listening in on the conversation, giving each other worried glances. Someone had to warn Rachel and Finn about Simone, Brody and Cassandra—before it was too late.

Finn entered the fencing studio, spotting Celina holding her bags close to her. Finn took one look at her to notice that she was wincing with every move she made, but she kept trying to put up a façade pretending that everything was fine. Finn made his way over to Celina, leaning against the wall as she noticed he was there, but didn't say anything. She just continued trying to pick up her bags. Finn decided to help her, grabbing one of the bags she had on the floor and handing it to her. Celina considered taking it from Finn, noticing that he had a small smile on his face. Celina slowly took the bag, turning back around so that she could be left alone, but Finn wasn't going anywhere.

"Celina, can we talk for a minute?" Finn wondered, still gazing at her. Celina turned to Finn, still gripping the bags close to her, showing an angered expression on her face.

"No, I can't talk right now." Celina said as she started to make her way towards the door. Finn softly put his hands on Celina's shoulder but she winced, closing her eyes and letting out shallow breaths, letting Finn know that she was in pain. "Let go of me! You're hurting me!"

"What? Celina, I'm barely touching you!" Finn retorted, noticing that she was in immense pain. Finn took his hands off her shoulders as Celina got on her knees, letting out gigantic sobs. Finn bent down to her level, letting everything that Simone said click in his head. Celina had a boyfriend that she lived with in SoHo. Celina had been acting out for the past couple of days and she even quit Glee Club, knowing that she enjoyed it more than anything in the world. Finn continued to stare into her eyes, softening his expression. He reached one of his hands over to hers, gripping it and giving her a gentle smile. That was enough for Celina to go into Finn's arms and sob into his shoulder, Finn soothingly rubbing Celina up and down her back.

Finn and Celina sat alone in the NYADA auditorium a half hour later, Finn just gazing into her eyes, noticing that she was quiet. Finn continued to look at her, hoping that she would say something, anything. He was beginning to worry about her. They sat there in silence, until he heard Celina let out a deep breath and open her mouth.

"I didn't want to quit the Glee Club." Celina said, looking down at her hands.

"I know you didn't." Finn soothingly answered back. "I don't want to go into uncharted territory, but I was just wondering…why did you quit the Glee Club? I mean you looked like you had a lot of fun here…I just worried that you weren't having enough fun since you never got any solos."

"I actually don't' mind not having solos." Celina gazed into Finn's eyes. "I could care less about that. I'm here because this is the only place I have actual friends that care about me. Friends that understand me…well, I'm not sure that I can call Simone a friend."

"Are you kidding?" Finn waved his hand as if it was nothing, releasing a small smile. "Simone loves you."

"Really?" Celina looked at Finn, noticing that his smile disappeared.

"Well, no not really." Finn admitted. "She hates everyone." Celina and Finn let out a small laugh, but Celina's face turned serious again.

"I quit the Glee Club because I was going through a lot of things and I didn't know if this was the place I had to be right now." Celina said.

"What kind of things are you going through?" Finn asked, folding his hands. "I promise I won't tell a soul. I won't even tell Rachel unless you want me to." Celina looked to Finn nodding her head slowly.

"My sister's in jail." Celina softly spoke. "She was caught distributing drugs and now she's doing 20 years in the slammer. She was my older sister, she was 25…she had her whole life ahead of her. I knew she was acting out from when she was a teenager but I never thought that she would be so stupid as to let her life spin out of her control. I also…I was beaten up, which was why it hurt when you touched me."

"Who beat you up?" Finn continued to look at Celina, seeing she was contemplating whether to tell him. "Remember, I'm not really a teacher so I won't say anything unless you want me to." Celina looked at Finn, letting out a deep breath again.

"My boyfriend beat me up." Celina answered. "He came home drunk the other night because he lost his job at a construction site. He was so angry that he took his anger out at me…" Finn heard Celina sniffle as she wiped a few tears from her face. "I keep threatening that I'm going to leave him but every time that I try to leave, he grabs me and threatens to hurt me with something, telling me that if I leave then no one out that door is going to love me. He tells me that I'm pathetic and sad and…he said if I ever called the cops on him, he'd kill me when he'd get out of jail." Celina buried her face in her hands, sobbing while Finn rubbed her back soothingly. Finn didn't know how to handle something like this since he knew he would never put a hand on Rachel. Finn always heard about stuff like this happening on the news, but when it happened to a person he knew, it was a different experience.

"Celina, you have to tell someone about this…and you have to call the police." Finn told her. "This man is dangerous."

"You don't know what I'm going through, you don't know what it's like to have someone tell you that you're worthless and you'll never amount to anything!" Celina yelled through her tears.

"Oh really?" Finn looked at Celina with firm eyes. "My father, my birth father is exactly the same way. He told me I was worthless, I would never amount to anything, I would be pathetic and I'm 'gay' for even liking the arts. That a real man doesn't like performing or singing or playing an instrument; mind you I play the drums, guitar and piano." Finn felt tears come to his eyes as he continued to look at Celina. "Look, we're in the same boat. There are people out there that want to bring you down because they have nothing better to do than crush your spirit. Celina you are an amazing person…all right. I'm not just saying that. You're one of the few to make me feel welcome here. I'm an outcast that has nothing better to do than run a Glee Club and work at a diner. And I want you to know that you are welcome back in the Glee Club anytime you're ready. Okay? When I was in High School, kids would quit the Glee Club every other week, but we always came back because that was our home. That was the only place that made us feel safe and secure. I know right now performing for Sectionals is a long shot but…we can still have fun in this club, right?" Celina let out a small grin as she noticed Finn wiping the few tears he had on his face away from his eyes. "I know that singing is not going to help your problems, but for two minutes, just being on that stage will make you feel invincible, like there's nothing that can hurt you. I can join you if you like." Celina simply looked at Finn with a small smile.

"You kind of make me want to be your girlfriend." Celina joked, causing Finn and Celina to let out a genuine laugh. "And I'm sorry that I told you that you had no idea what you were doing. You obviously do…because everyone always comes back." Finn and Celina hugged tightly, Celina forgetting all of her troubles for the moment. Celina got up from the chair, holding her hand out for Finn to take. "You said you wanted to sing on the stage right? Do you think you can put your drumming skills to the test and play the drums for me?" Finn quickly nodded his head, taking Celina's hand as she pulled him up from the chair, leading him over to the drum set as she stood in front of the mike. As Celina started to sing and heard the rest of the band, she felt her troubles slip away—and for the first time in a while, things just felt…right.

{Celina looks back to Finn as Finn nods his head to her, her singing into the microphone to the empty auditorium}

[Celina]

Well I couldn't tell you

How she felt that way

She felt it every day

And I couldn't help her

I just watched her make the same mistakes again

What's wrong, what's wrong now

Too many, too many problems

Don't know where she belongs

Where she belongs

[Celina with Finn]

She wants to go home

But nobody's home

That's where she lies, broken inside

With no place to go, no place to go

To dry her eyes, broken inside

[Celina]

Open your eyes (Finn: Open your eyes)

And look outside

[Celina and Finn]

Find the reasons why

[Celina]

You've been rejected

And now you can't find

What you left behind

Be strong, be strong now

Too many, too many problems

Don't know where she belongs

Where she belongs

[Celina with Finn]

She wants to go home

But nobody's home

That's where she lies, broken inside

With no place to go, no place to go

To dry her eyes, broken inside

{Scene changes to the Glee Club members sitting in their seats, listening to Celina sing}

[Celina and Finn]

Her feelings she hides

Her dreams she can't find

She's losing her mind

She's falling behind

She can't find her place

She's losing her faith

She's falling from grace

She's all over the place

[Celina with Finn]

She wants to go home

But nobody's home

That's where she lies, broken inside

With no place to go, no place to go

To dry her eyes, broken inside

[Celina]

She's lost inside, lost inside

She's lost inside, lost inside

[Celina and Finn]

Whoa, whoa, oh

The Glee Club stood up in their chairs, clapping as Celina released a wide smile. She had never gotten this kind of reception before, and frankly it felt nice being on the opposing side of the applause for once. Celina looked to Finn, seeing that he was getting up from the drum set with a grin.

"And just so Celina knows, she is more than welcome to come back to Glee Club…if she wants to." Finn looked at her as he spoke the last bit of the sentence, noticing Celina nodded her head with a smile.

"I'd love to come back to Glee Club." Celina firmly stated. Everyone clapped again as Finn motioned for Santana and Kurt to come to the stage.

"And now I would like to introduce the two newest members of the Glee Club, Santana Lopez and Kurt Hummel. I know they don't go to school here but according to the rule book, all we needed was ten members. I even read the fine print. Who knows, maybe they'll impress Madame Tibideaux so much that they'll end up coming here."

"Oh no, going to school here is not my thing." Santana shook her head to Finn. "I just want to sing, that's pretty much it." Kurt on the other hand was silent. This could have been his break to actually get into NYADA. It was something he wanted to do and while the diner and were nice, his main passion was working on Broadway, maybe in a theatre adaption of Wicked.

"Now, let's get started on preparing for Sectionals." Finn clapped his hands.

"Wait." Dustin raised his hand, looking at Finn. "There's nine of us now…that means we're missing one more member in order for us to compete."

"That can be arranged." Finn pointed towards the auditorium as Brody came in from the left side of the stage. "Our tenth and final member, a good friend of mine…Brody Weston." Everyone clapped once again, but the one that seemed the most excited was Simone. Santana glared at Brody, knowing exactly what he was doing here. "And now we have ten members, so I think that now we can compete during Sectionals. Let's get started!" Finn clapped his hands once more as everyone started warming up their vocal cords. Brody was about to make his way with the others until Santana stopped him in his tracks.

"I know what you're really doing here." Santana kept her voice firm as she stared at Brody. "I'm going to give you a warning now. If you do anything to hurt Finn or Rachel, I will come after you with a car and make sure that you're locked inside it as it sinks to the bottom of the Hudson River. You, your old saggy dance teacher and that Mariah Carey wannabe better watch your back…because I'm here now…and I won't let you ruin something Finn had been working so hard on."

"Gee, you seem to care about Finn a little bit too much." Brody smirked.

"It's nothing like that." Santana seethed. "If you must know, I play for the other team. Second, Finn and I go back, like ninth grade back. So you need to back it up because I will hunt you down if Finn ends up in a manic depression. He went there once…he doesn't need to go there again. So if I were you, I'd really think about the "pretend to be his friend" act that you're trying to pull. Because I'm from Lima Adjacent. And do you know what they do at Lima Adjacent? Bad things. That's what happens at Lima Adjacent. It's more ghetto than the South Bronx, I can guarantee you." Brody continued to look at Santana, but Santana walked past him, finally done with the conversation. Brody continued to look over at Santana, shaking his head. Apparently, getting to Finn wasn't going to be easy with Santana in the way…

After Glee Club practice, Finn was asked to be seen by Madame Tibideaux and if Finn said he wasn't nervous, he'd be lying. Finn stood in front of her office, letting out a sigh as he knocked on the door.

"Come in." Finn heard Madame Tibideaux's voice call from the other side of the door. Finn opened it, spotting Cassandra July sitting there and Madame Tibideaux sitting at her desk. "Hello, Finn. Have a seat please." Finn closed the door, taking a seat next to Cassandra July, not sure where he should fixate his eyes. After a moment of silence, Madame Tibideaux crossed her arms, staring right at Finn. "Ms. July tells me that you have ten members for the NYADA Glee Club in order to compete at Sectionals. The issue is…not all ten members are students at NYADA." Finn looked over at Cassandra, noticing she was letting out a smirk.

"I'm afraid we can't have that Finn." Cassandra shrugged her shoulders, playing the innocent card. "We don't know anything about your two friends in there…and it wouldn't look good for the school if everyone found out that you picked up riff raff from the corners of Brooklyn."

"Those are my friends." Finn shook his head, turning back to Madame Tibideaux. "Madame Tibideaux, with all due respect, I read the handbook carefully. I read the entire handbook at least ten times. It says that you need ten members in order to compete in competition, but the handbook never said that they had to be NYADA students."

"But it's in the NYADA handbook, so you should have figured that." Cassandra folded her hands, continuing her innocent act.

"No, I looked at the show choir book for the region. There's nothing that says that they have to be college students at this particular school or at any school." Finn looked back to Madame Tibideaux. "All that the handbook says is that there has to be ten members. Doesn't matter where they're from or how they got on the team. As long as the team captain, which the Glee Club appointed as myself agrees that they are worthy for the team, then they can be on it. It's in the rule book." Madame Tibideaux looked at the show choir manual, reading the qualification section. After skimming through it, she closed the book and looked at both Finn and Cassandra.

"I believe Mr. Hudson makes a valid point, Cassandra." Madame Tibideaux simply stated. "No rules were broken and I even looked at Ms. Lopez and Mr. Hummel's records. They're legit. They can help the NYADA Glee Club win at Sectionals."

"So you're trying to tell me that he can bring riff raff off the streets in order to perform in show choir?" Cassandra sounded outraged.

"Apparently he considered them thoughtfully and given that he has history with those two individuals, they were best fit." Madame Tibideaux said. "So I believe that we're done here. Thank you for your time Mr. Hudson, you may go." Madame Tibideaux gave Finn a small smile as Finn got up from his seat, grabbing his book along with him.

"Have a good evening, Madame Tibideaux." Finn nodded his head, leaving the office and started to make his way down the hall.

"HEY!" Finn turned around; noticing Cassandra was hot on his tail right after him. "You think this is funny?"

"If I think what's funny?" Finn wasn't sure what Cassandra was talking about.

"Embarrassing me in front of Madame Tibideaux." Cassandra pointed back towards the office. "That was disobedience at its finest!"

"The only person that embarrassed you is you." Finn firmly told her. "I read the handbook. If you're going to try to write me up for something, at least be knowledgeable. You just hate that I won and you lost."

"Oh…you did not win anything." Cassandra smirked. "This means war Hudson. By the end of your time here at NYADA, I'll make sure that you're miserable and that your dopey Glee Club is disbanded, do you understand me?" Cassandra walked past Finn, but Finn was un-phased by Cassandra's words. Instead, he had a large smile on his face, finally knowing what Mr. Schuester and Sue Sylvester felt like, fighting over a Glee Club. Finn confidently made his way down the hallway with a large smile on his face, knowing that he now had to get his Glee Club ready for Sectionals—and that he was considered a huge threat to Cassandra July.

{Scene changes to the next afternoon and the Finn Harmonic members wear black outfits for the group number. Celina, Rachel and Santana walk down the three aisles of the auditorium, looking up at the other members of the club}
