Season 3, Episode 7: I KISSED A GIRL

Figgins tries to suspend Santana for two weeks after she slapped Finn. She's upset because that means she'll miss Sectionals. At the last minute, Finn lies to Figgins and says it was actually a stage slap, saving her from suspension. After the meeting, Finn tells Santana he thinks she acts out because she she's not being honest with herself. He gives two options: return to New Directions for the week for a special lesson or be suspended. Rachel is desperate to help Kurt win senior class president, but he's currently trailing Brittany in the polls by 17 points. Since he won't get into NYADA without winning, he tells Rachel he's considering cheating. Finn wants the week to be dedicated to Lady Music Week, songs by ladies and for ladies. The idea is for Santana to know they have a group of people who supports her. Kurt and Blaine sing "Perfect" in honor of Santana. This does not make her feel better. Sue writes in her journal about her campaign being in trouble. She's straight, but the attack ad about her being gay could sabotage her chances. She needs to make it clear she's straight. She consults her book of past booty calls, where she finds the perfect man. Will and Emma offer to help Beiste count the election votes. She talks about how great her relationship with Cooter is going. Puck sings "I'm the Only One" and tells Santana it was for her, despite his frequently looking at Shelby throughout the performance which Quinn suspiciously notices. She asks him if he wants to come over and have sex with her that weekend. He turns her down, saying she's selfish and crazy. Finn tells Santana he's worried about what could happen to her if she isn't honest with who she is. He says her being his 'first' means something and he doesn't want anything to happen to her. Finn and the New Directions boys sing a slowed down version of "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun". Santana seems reflective during the song and thanks Finn afterwards, therefore reconciling the two. While picking up a preposterous order of chicken, Beiste sees Sue sitting with Cooter. Sue calls it a date and says he's been her regular booty call for decades. When Beiste seems upset, Cooter says he didn't think she was interested. He says he isn't looking for a buddy. The day of the election for both congress and senior class president arrives and Kurt has many concerns. In the voting booth, Kurt thinks his whole career depends on whether he wins. The Congressional voting is being held there as well, meaning Beiste has to watch Cooter with Sue. Beiste sings "Jolene." After the commercial airs, the sophomore rugby captain, Josh Coleman, tries to tell Santana he can make her normal. All the Glee girls come to her defense and sing Katy Perry's "I Kissed A Girl." Santana tells New Directions she told her parents who were okay with it and the only person left to tell is her grandmother. Figgins calls Kurt and Burt into his office. He says there was an irregularity with the votes. There ended up being more ballots than there are seniors. Kurt admits he thought about cheating, but didn't end up doing so. Kurt tells Rachel and Finn he's lost the election and may end up being suspended. After he leaves, Rachel tells Finn it was her. He tells Rachel she has to tell Figgins she was the one who cheated. Puck gets a call from Shelby. Beth slipped and cut her lip. Puck insists a plastic surgeon fix her. This leads to Shelby and Puck hooking up. Afterwards, she says it was a mistake. Puck is pissed when she tells him to leave, calling her a coward. Santana tells her grandmother that she is a lesbian and explains how Britney makes her finally feel that thing called love and she is tired of fighting with herself everyday and she doesn't want to hide it anymore. Santana's grandmother takes the news badly and calls her selfish, saying that it is a sin not because she has done it but because she has spoken of it and it should have been kept a secret. Santana's grandmother tells her to leave and that she doesn't want to see her again. Santana is devastated. Puck and Quinn start to fool around. When he says he doesn't have protection, she doesn't seem to care. She seems to want them to make another baby. Puck points out they just spent a week helping Santana and nobody has taken the same time to help her. He tells her she doesn't need a baby or a man to be special. Quinn accepts this on the condition he lies down with her and holds her. He does so and confesses his fling and feelings for Shelby. Burt won the election. Sue finished third. Beiste walks in and confronts Sue and Cooter. Cooter tells Beiste he has feelings for both her and Sue. Beiste says she's in love with him and will do anything to win him back. Will and Shelby tell the kids they are proud of them and look forwards to Sectionals. Kurt stands up and sincerely congratulates Brittany for her win. Blaine tells Kurt they'll figure something out to get him into NYADA. Santana stands up and performs "Constant Craving" with parallels of Shelby, Kurt and Rachel also singing. After the song, Rachel comes into the room with tears in her eyes. She tells everyone she confessed to rigging the election and apologises to Kurt. She says she has been punished by being suspended for a week, the incident going on her permanent record and she is not allowed to perform at Sectionals.
