Finn tells Puck to try and convince the football team to do the half time show and play while Finn leaves to get the girls back. He goes to the bus as the cheerios are getting on. He tells Quinn, Santana and Britney to come with him. They say they need Cheerios to be popular. Finn reminds them that they joined the cheerios to be popular but they joined glee club cause they loved it and that if it wouldn't make them unpopular they would choose glee club. The girls agree and quit, leaving Sue with no performance at Regionals. Sue ends up losing Regionals and more of her budget is cut and given to the glee club.
