Glee Review: Sexy

In this week's Glee episode, Holly Holliday returns! Actually, I'm not too hot on the idea of Gwyneth Paltrow being a good singer, but she was very entertaining. Her return is far from the biggest news. There is of course Emma and Carl with their (ahem) intimacy problems, Kurt's "gas pain", and Santana's new realization. Well, the New Directions kids apparently have no knowledge of sex, there are only two people in the celibacy club (until Puck, Artie, Zizes, and Santana joins), and Zizes and Puck want to make a sex tape (which turns out to be illegal). So Holly decides to teach the glee kids about sex through song! I mean, how else is anything learned on this show? It works out well until Will had to join in the fun. He likes Holly, but Holly is damaged goods and doesn't think that Will would do well with her. Santana and Brittany are having problems (not like breakfast problems), so they act like adults and talk to Holly. This was a beautiful performance by Santana, showing a vulnerability only Kurt has shown so far. It was very impressive, especially learning that Santana loves Brittany. Sadly, Brittany has her eyes set on Artie, whom she loves. This is going to be an important relationship (not like that Sam, you gullible blonde) because it will definitely change the dynamic between the two. They have two directions. One is that Brittany breaks up with Artie and chases Santana. The other is that they bring in another character (like a female Blaine) who can act as the new girl for Santana. I hope that this doesn't change their relationship too much in the following episodes because I really like their chemistry. Kurt has no idea how to act sexy, so Blaine tries to talk with him. Unfortunately, Kurt is into romance and believes that the touch of the fingertips is the sexiest thing ever. So Blaine convinces Burt to talk to Kurt about sex, leading to another great sequence between these two great actors. To think that Mike O'Malley used to be on Yes, Dear. Emma is still a virgin even after 4 months of marriage (that darn hose monster!!). So in rebuttal of Holly's sex education, she sings "Afternoon Delight" (just watch Arrested Development to get a full appreciation of the incorrect/incestuous usage of that song). Carl sets up an appointment where it is revealed that (gasp!) Emma is still in love with Will, leading to Carl divorcing Emma (bye John Stamos). This opens the door again for the Will-Emma relationship, but I'm liking Will and Holly as a potential couple. Then of course, the return of Finn and Quinn! I like them together, but I don't know how this is gonna work out. Best song will go to the Warblers for their rendition of "Animal", which was the best vocal performance of the night. The best line will go to Finn, over Brittany (who seems to be well educated in the workings of Woody Woodpecker): "Cucumbers can give you AIDS?". Sometimes I forget how naive Finn really is (hot tub baby FTW!). Beiste sighting: her laugh at the potential "That's what she said" joke made for perfect comedy. Also check out (oh you know what I mean) Will in "Do You Wanna Touch Me". Very funny.
