Regionals is coming up on the weekend but to Will's surprise..........SUE IS A JUDGE! At a song nominations for regionals party for the glee club Quinn has a flashback to the day she had sex with Puck 9 months ago. It seems like time has gone by very fast. They club members are all upset that with the news of Sue being a judge, they have no hope. Will goes to Emma for guidance and she reminds him of when he started the glee club he almost quit but she made him realise that if he loves what he is doing, why not do it? She then tells him that for a few weeks she has been dating her dentist. When Will is driving in his car he hears Journey's Don't Stop Believing and begins to cry. He tells the glee club that at Regionals they will be performing a Journey Medley. Finn goes to Rachel and tells her that they need to talk. He makes her realise that they can't give up hope and as team captains they have to fix this. He claims that they will win and Rachel kisses him. They both smile. At the Regionals competition it is announced the other judges are Olivia Newton-John, Josh Grobon and Rod Ramington (who also was a judge at Sectionals). A team called Aural Intensity performs a mash up of Magic and You Raise Me Up. These are songs by the judges so the glee club seem worried. But then Will gives them a confidence boost and they rush off to perform. Before starting backstage Finn tells Rachel he loves her. She smiles and then sing "Faithfully" which makes it clear they are getting back together. The rest of New Directions join in and they sing "Any Way You Want It/ Lovin' Touchin' Squeezin'" and "Don't Stop Believing." Quinn's Mother watches them and seems happy for them. They are all excited that they think they will win. Quinn's mum apologises she was never there to see her other performances. She tells him that Quinn's father cheated on her and she kicked him out. She asks Quinn to move back in with her and turn the guest room into a nursery. Quinn is silent and then shockingly announced that her water just broke. Vocal Adrenalin perform "Bohemian Rhapsody" while Quinn is rushed to the hospital and gives birth. She does it painfully and quickly. She asks that Puck, Mercedes and her mother can be there. As the song closes Rachel watches from the crowd and Quinn is handed her new born baby. She sits with it in her arms and smiles. Rachel congratulates Shelby on their performance but feels that New Directions will take first place. She then offers that Shelby come and be co-directors with Will at McKinley. It would make them unstoppable. But Shelby just wants to get away from the world of show choir and wants a life, a house, a garded, a dog, a family. She realises she mist out on her chance with Rachel and doesn't want it to happen again. Rachel walks away after letting Shelby know Quinn had a baby girl. In the judging room, Sue wishes that New Directions go last. Olivia wants Aural Intensity to win, Josh wants New Directions to win and Rod wants Vocal Adrenalin. They all argue and Olivia says Sue shouldn't be here. She isn't famous. She says that New Directions must be poor and then Sue surprisingly defends them and turns out to be the nice judge out of all of them. They all vote. Sue announces that the runner up is Aural Intensity. She then announces that the winner is...................................Vocal Adrenalin! New Directions is upset that now that they have lost Regionals- the club is over. Jesse and Vocal Adrenalin celebrate their victory and take the trophy. At the hospital Quinn tells Puck she doesn't want to keep the baby. He says that he knows the baby loves her. Shelby walks up to them and thinks they baby looks like Quinn. She asks what its name is and Puck says it's name is 'Beth.' Shelby says she likes that name. Will goes to school and sees Emma yelling at Figgins. She is outraged the club is cancelled and that Will has given up hope. She tells him that some things are worth fighting for. He then tells her he loves her and things arnt over between them. He then kisses her. Rachel invites him to the auditorium where the glee club tell him personally how glee changed their lives and that no matter what the judges say, they were winners because they had him as a teacher. They sing him "To Sir, With Love" to say thank you. They all cry during it. Sue watches them from a far and begins to cry. Will cleans out the choir room. Sue walks in and tells Will that she voted fairly. A flashback shows that she actually voted for New Directions. She says she isn't happy glee is over because she doesn't want to live in a world where she can't make fun of the glee club. Sue uses her blackmail against Figgins to give the glee club one more chance. Figgins says she can't blackmail him anymore ans she says if he does this one last request, she will stop with the blackmailing. Will thanks her and they shake hands. He promises that he will never forget the kind thing she has done. Will tells the club they have another year and they all celebrate. Rachel tells them they need to start work on next year's Sectionals. Will tells them to have a break and take the summer off and just have fun. He then sings "Over The Rainbow" with Puck. It is made clear that all the troubles from the past year are over. Nobody hates anybody and they are all friends. During the song we see Shelby adopting Quinn's baby and naming it 'Beth.'
