Season 2, Episode 5: THE ROCKY HORROR GLEE SHOW

The episode opens with Santana's lips singing "Science Fiction Double Feature." It then cuts to the glee club singing "There's A Light." They are interrupted by Carl who storms out picking a fight with Will over Emma. Will explains that a simple production of The Rocky Horror Show has become his horror. It flashes back to a week ago where Will is talking to Emma and she mentions that Carl took her to see the rocky horror picture show in the messy theatre and she was having so much fun she didn't care about there germs. Will worries that he is losing her and says the glee club are performing the rocky horror show. He says he will have to cut out some of the more adult only bits. Will announces his plans to the club and gives them permission slips to give to their parents. Will then takes care of casting. Finn and Rachel play Brad and Janet, Artie plays Dr. Scot (because Dr. Scot is in a wheel chair), Sam plays Rocky, Quinn and Santana play Magenta, Tina, Britney and Mercedes play Columbia and Will suggests Kurt play Frank 'N' Furtur but Kurt refuses. Mike steps up and says he wants to do it. Finn and Rachel rehearse and Finn discovers he will have to be on stage in his underwear for one of the scenes. He reveals to Rachel that he is insecure about his body and she comforts him. Sue does a Sue's Corner on Halloween. 2 Men tell her that if she wants to become bug she must do a Sues Corner on exposing the horror of rocky horror. Finn and Rachel rehearse "Damn It, Janet" in which Sue comes to Will. She says she wants to be involved (lyre). Will gives her the role of the criminologist. Sam tells Finn his diet and exercises so that way Finn can get in shape for the play. Will tells Emma that he believes the reason she is so mean is because she just wants to be included. He then asks Emma to be the costume designer and she says yes. Mike tells Will that his parents wont let him dress up like a tranny and Mike is no longer aloud to be in the musical. Becky dresses up as Sue for Halloween. Will tells Sue that without Mike the show is cancelled. Sue gets Carl to audition to be in the musical. Will does not like the idea. Carl auditions with "Whatever Happened To Saturday Night?" Sue says the show doesn't need an Eddie- it needs a Frank 'N' Furter. Carl does not think it is appropriate if he dresses up as a Transvestite. Mercedes says she would like to play the part and make it more modern. Everybody likes the idea and Mercedes is casted as Frank 'N' Furter and Carl is Casted as Eddie. In their first dress rehearsal Finn says he wants to wait until opening night to be in his underwear. Sam complains that his golden boxers are too tight. Mercedes performs "Sweet Transvestite." Carl comes bursting in on a motor bike afterwards. Will says he is 2 scenes early. Will continues his plans to win Emma back by telling Sam it isn't appropriate he plays Rocky and that he is going to take over. Will asks that Emma help him practice. Santana and Britney watch as Emma sings "Touch A Touch A Touch A Touch Me" where Emma takes off Will's shirt and gets dirty with him. At the end of the song she runs out in panic. Finn is working out and Sam tells Finn he is no longer playing Rocky. Finn decides to walk out in the hallways in his underwear which he does. Meanwhile rehearsals aren't going well. Figgins suggests that Finn be suspended for a month and attends summer school. Will talks it down to a warning. Figgins warns Will that this show may cost him the club. It goes back to "There's A Light (Over At The Frankenstein Place)" where Carl interrupts and says he knows about Will trying to get back Emma and says he doesn't use music to steal somebody Else's chick. Becky comes to Wills office trick or treating. Will says he has been so busy with rocky horror that he forgot to buy candy. Becky reveals to Will that there is a tape in her office which Will watches. It is a Sue's Corner where Sue says even though people have the right to say things doesn't mean they always should and trashes the show. Will talks to Sue and Sue says that this show is a bad influence and it shouldn't be done. Will agrees and cancels the show. This angers Sue as she wanted to show to proceed so she could make it big time. Will tells Emma the news and apologises. He also says that if Carl is really helping her then he is going to back off. He tells the kids he is sorry and explains that The Rocky Horror Show is a show about and for people who are different and that's why it is so alike glee club. Will says they are going to perform it for themselves only. The episode ends with the glee club doing a fantastic rendition of the "Time Warp."

  1. I'm not sure which I love more, Glee or Rocky Horror, but was it Santana's lips or Quinn's? The Fox recap site says it was Quinn's lips.

  2. hmmm.. not sure about the lips. i have seen alot of websits say quinn and alot say santana but i think it was santanas because i dont think they would bother using somebody elses lips. i know they did in the roc kyhorror picture show but that was just because the singer was a boy and they wanted female lips.
