GRILLED CHEEZUS was that one intense episode! Here's a quick rundown as I am still screaming from the after-effects of watching last night's Glee.

Boys vs Girls contest is back, and it's better than ever! The girls did a mashup of Stop Me Up/Livin' on a Prayer and it had me headbanging and holding up a lit candle (cause I don't have a lighter since I'm not a smoker). It was that good, at least IMO. Sooooo downloaded the song from itunes after I wrote this. And it helped that the girls all looked smoking hot in black leather.

Also, the bullying of Kurt heats up to an explosion I'll tell you about later. First, I gotta retract my accusations of the use of autotune for the Teenage Dream rendition (with Darren Criss as Blane). When I first heard the performance clip from hulu, I thought they used autotune, but listening to the full song on TV, it was just the harmonizing from the acapella.

The glee kids are using Coach Beast as a way to cool off from arousal. They basically imagine her in compromising positions wearing things that horrify. Sue uses and manipulates this to get Beast to quit. Sue's cackling while her confetti cannons went off was pure WIN.

Okay, you guys/gals ready for the main event? Here it is ... Dave Karofsky, the football jock who repeatedly pushes/harasses Kurt, kisses Kurt in an empty locker room when Kurt confronts and stands up to him. Apparently, Dave's bullying was hiding an attraction that he was confused and angry over and couldn't cope except to lash out against the one who aroused him. It was truly a "whoaaaaaaaaa" moment. Btw, Dave looks like he could be Beast's son. Seriously, they look related.

Minor plot: Puck is back, avoiding juvie by doing community service by helping Artie with Britney, and Puck and Artie soon become buddies after they both come to some self-realizations.

Schue talks to Beast (Shannon) and gives her her first kiss. It was a sweet moment.

The show ends with the guys' mashup of Stop! In the Name of Love/Free Your Mind, serenading it Coach Beast, to whom they apologized and made up with. The medley was pretty well done, flawlessly mashed together. And I loved seeing Kurt performing with just the boys, his mannerisms stand out more and I love that. Haha, another download-worthy mash-up.

I thought this was the very best episode of Season 2. I hope "it gets better". Peace out!
