Behind the Bleachers

The latest relationship drama at McKinley High:

  • Quinn and Puck in "Wheels"Quinn and Puck flirt with the possibility of getting back together. They share a playful moment over a food fight in the kitchen. Puck also gets down and dirty in a quest for money for "his family", though in the end, Quinn doesn't accept it.
  • Finn and Rachel share a quick moment as Rachel worries that the Diva-Off is a popularity contest and that nobody really likes her -- Finn reassures Rachel that he likes her.
  • Tina kisses Artie after their wheel chair racing date, and admits that her stutter is fake.





Trivia


  • Chris Colfer as KurtChris Colfer originally auditioned for the role of Artie, but after seeing Chris' unique personal brand, the new character of Kurt was written just for Chris!
  • Two wheelchairs were used for Artie's performance of Dancin' with Myself -- one was reinforced to prevent tipping and one was not.
  • Kevin HcHale who plays the wheelchair bound Artie is not disabled in real life. The part was cast for who best fit the character, not for who fit the physical criteria.




Burning Questions


  • Will Artie forgive and reconcile with Tina?
  • Will Quinn ever tell Finn the truth about her baby?
  • Jane Lynch and her sister in "Wheels"Does this episode mark a turning point for Sue? We've now seen that she does have a heart. (How beautiful was that scene with her sister? So well done.) Do you think she'll continue to show her tough exterior at school?
  • Does anyone else stand a chance against Jane Lynch for an Emmy next year? If she doesn't get nominated, it will be a travesty!
