- We open in the high-school cafeteria. Sue approaches Will, demanding to know the glee club's set list for sectionals. He is surprised. "I didn't know you were all that interested in glee club anymore," Will says. Not so. He grudgingly agrees to hand over the list. And it only gets worse. Later, Sue wants names of competing schools and zip codes. All of this leads Will to a shocking conclusion. "She's leaking our competitive set lists to other schools!" he complains to Emma, who suggests going directly to the competing schools to find out.
Cut to Will going through heavy security to meet Grace Hitchens, an administrator and glee-club coach at competing Jane Adams High School. "I think our cheerleading coach is passing along our set list for sectionals," Will says. Hitchens denies resorting to cheating in order to beat a bunch of "privileged misfits." Feeling guilty, Will invites her team to use the McKinley auditorium, as Jane Adams doesn't have one. Cut to the Jane Adams glee club singing and dancing on the McKinley stage. The theme of the number: bootylicious. Sample lyric: "I hope you can handle all the jelly that I have." Will is both perplexed and impressed. "It's called hairography," says Rachel, explaining the eye-catching hairstyles mask what is otherwise a mediocre performance. Will doesn't seem convinced. In fact, the performance has given him an idea. "I think I found our new number for sectionals," he tells the club later. "We're going to do the title song from 'Hair.'" Will also brought wigs. Rachel sighs.
Meanwhile, pregnant Quinn continues to pretend the father of her unborn baby is Finn. Oddly, Puck, the read dad, is acting quite supportive of his baby mama. "Maybe I didn't give Puck enough of a chance," Quinn thinks to herself. But how to throw Finn off the scent so she can give Puck a "test drive?" Easy. Quinn approaches Kurt with an idea to give Rachel a makeover. Quinn's hope is that Finn will be distracted by Rachel, although Kurt doesn't know that part of the scheme. He agrees to take the case, noting that makeovers are like "crack" to him. And so it begins. Kurt explains that his goal is to make Rachel the most desired girl in school. She, however, confesses to only having eyes for one boy. "I'm in love with Finn," Rachel says. Retorts Kurt: "Really? I understand completely." He then decides that she must look like a "ho," as Finn goes for women of questionable morals. Clearly, Kurt is sabotaging his own makeover out of jealousy. Quinn will not be pleased.
Terri, in the meantime, attempts to distract her husband from the faux pregnancy by giving him a replica of his old car from high school. "I thought maybe working on it would be a distraction from all the pressure you're under," she says. Just then, Quinn appears and pulls Terri aside. "I'm keeping my baby," the former cheerleader says. Terri is SHOCKED. Kendra has a plan, though. She'll hire Quinn to babysit her misbehaving children. "Five minutes with those mongrels and she'll have her tubes tied," Kendra explains.
Later, Rachel appears in the hallways with her new, sultry look. Finn immediately takes notice and agrees to go over to Rachel's house on Friday. Quinn, meanwhile, asks Puck to hang out with her while babysitting. The plan appears to be working perfectly. Cut to the glee club practice, where Will confronts Sue. Shockingly, Sue calls him out for pulling the hairography ploy, explaining that her Cheerios wear their hair pulled back so as not to "distract from their talent." She promises to bar any "demeaning, fruity, hair tossing."
Friday night arrives. Rachel suggests she and Finn reenact a sexy scene from "Grease." A few bars later, Finn stops the charade. "You look like a sad, clown hooker," he tells a hurt Rachel. "This look just isn't you." Finn then explains that he was just telling Kurt last week that he likes natural girls -- and NOT skin-tight clothes. Cut to Kendras house, where Quinn and Puck babysit the rowdy, awful children. They are only quieted when Puck and Quinn perform an acoustic version of "Papa Don't Preach." Because little boys love "Papa Don't Preach." Of course, Kendra and Terri are SHOCKED to find the boys so well behaved. "Are you an exorcist?" Kendra asks.
On Monday, Rachel confronts Kurt for setting her up. "You like him and you were just trying to eliminate the competition," Rachel yells. Says a teary-eyed Kurt: "There's no hope for either of us. He loves Quinn. They're having a baby together. We're nothing but distractions." It's a sad, but likely true moment. Quinn, in the meantime, is also getting bad news. Turns out Puck was "sexting" with another girl while they were babysitting. Ouch. But enough drama for the time being. It's time to dance. Cut to glee-club practice, where the gang perfects the science of hairography set to a "Crazy In Love"/ "Hair" mash-up. The audience isn't so impressed. "It didn't work at all, did it?" Rachel asks. Will admits the performance was a little "rough." The club sits down to listen to the glee club from Haverbrook, a school for the deaf. They perform "Imagine" without any hairography. The performance inspires and puts the McKinley kids in their place.
Later, Quinn confronts Puck about sexting. He admits to the deed. "You haven't given it up to me since the night I knocked you up," he says. "I have needs." Cut immediately to Quinn telling Terri that she can have the baby, after all. "A girl really needs a good father and the only way she's going to get that is if I give her to you," Quinn says through tears. Will then enters with news: he traded in the hot rod for a family-friendly mini van. "I don't want anything to distract me from you guys," he says. Terri is touched (we think). He WILL be a good dad.
Quinn, meanwhile, heads straight for Finn. The two confess their love for each other, leaving Rachel and Kurt standing in the hallway looking like hurt puppies. Cut to Sue's office, where Will has decided to apologize. "I thought the kids needed a little showbiz and I was wrong," he tells his arch nemesis. He then hands over his set list for sectionals. The new plan: no false theatricality. The glee club will sit in stools and get by on pure talent.
All's well that ends well, right?
Not quite. We cut back to Sue's office, where she is sharing the set list with the coaches from Jane Adams and Haverbrook. Turns out Will was right all along.
The episode ends with New Directions singing the newest addition to their set list: Cyndi Lauper's "True Colors."
