Rachel asks Beiste is she can enter the race for senior class president. Kurt confronts Rachel about her telling Beiste she wants to run against him for president. She says she's worried she won't have anything special for her senior year since Mercedes may get the lead. Kurt thinks she is choosing her transcript over her friends. The directors tell Rachel and Mercedes they have decided to double cast the role of Maria. They are adding another week of performances. Each will have the lead for six shows. Mercedes thinks she was better and says the part was only double cast to protect Rachel's feelings. She withdraws her name. Rachel tells Finn about the way she got Maria. He thinks this means she'll withdraw from student class president. She isn't so sure. He says he isn't sure who he'd vote for. That night, Emma comes home to find Will has invited her parents over.
