The relationships of four of the couples are tested-Will and Emma, Rachel and Finn, Kurt and Blaine, and Santana and Brittany-and at least one does not survive.

The race for McKinley High Senior Class President comes to an end, and someone is caught trying to fix the results. Coach Beiste challenges Sue over Cooter, and Sue's own election day arrives. Life gets more complicated for Quinn and Puck, Santana comes out to her family, and a shocking event imperils New Directions' plans for participating in the forthcoming show choir Sectionals competition.

Irish exchange student Rory Flanagan (Damian McGinty) arrives at McKinley High.

Emma Pillsbury's parents come for a visit, and Mike Chang struggles with his grades while his parents work to get him back on track.

Will assigns a project for New Directions. Sue runs for congress.

Santana blackmails Karofsky into starting an anti-bullying club in order to convince Kurt to return to McKinley High and New Directions. Lauren runs against Quinn for Prom Queen and digs up some surprising information about her past. Everyone in the glee club tries to convince Rachel not to get a nose job after Finn breaks her nose while dancing.

Will separates the group for another mash-up competition. Kurt, tired of being harassed by Karofsky, spies for New Directions at Dalton Academy, where he meets Blaine. Blaine encourages Kurt to stand up for himself. Coach Beiste discovers the boys use her as a turn-off method and attempts to quit her job. Puck returns and develops a friendship with Artie through his community service project.

After Will learns of Emma's newfound love for The Rocky Horror Picture Show, he impulsively decides to have the glee club perform it as the school musical. However, problem after problem, including Sue going undercover to expose the boundary-pushing club on television, prevent New Directions from performing it in front of an audience.

When Puck goes to juvie, New Directions welcomes Sam as a new member and Will assigns a duet competition for the week. Finn and Rachel throw the competition so that Sam will feel welcome. The love triangle between Artie, Tina, and Mike develops, as does Santana and Brittany's relationship.

When both Will and Sue are bombarded by even more budget cuts, Finn and Rachel try to find new recruits for New Directions. Meanwhile, the football team adjusts to new football coach Shannon Beiste, who temporarily kicks Finn off the team. Quinn replaces Santana as head of the Cheerios, and Tina and Mike begin dating. Guest star Charice performs as an exchange student from the Philippines.

The glee club pays tribute to Lady Gaga, donning some of her famous outfits. Will teaches the club about theatricality to help Tina through an identity crisis. Rachel finally meets her mother by accident during a sneak-in on a Vocal Adrenaline practice session, but neither feel an immediate mother-daughter bond. Kurt's father, Burt, invites Finn and his mother to move in, but Finn is reluctant to share a room with Kurt. He uses a homophobic slur against Kurt during an emotional outburst, and is told to move out by Burt, but later comes to Kurt's defence when he is attacked by school bullies.

Inspired by the Cheerios and Sue paying homage to Madonna, Will looks to the musical icon to nip the boys' recent misogynistic behavior in the bud. Emma, Rachel, and Finn weigh the pros and cons of losing their virginity. Jesse transfers to McKinley High and joins New Directions, despite the protest of Finn and others. In an attempt to get more opportunities to shine, Kurt and Mercedes join the Cheerios, and also help Sue produce a music video for "Vogue" as a school project that also helps Sue become more comfortable with herself after Will teases her about her hair.

Believing the glee club members are becoming complacent ahead of Sectionals, Will pits the girls against the boys for a mash-up competition. Terri takes a job as the school nurse to stop Will becoming closer to Emma. With encouragement from Terri, Ken proposes to Emma, who reluctantly accepts. Terri gives the glee club pseudoephedrine tablets, enhancing their mash-up performances. Rachel and Finn feel guilty and confess, resulting in the competition being nullified, Terri being fired, and Sue being appointed co-director of the glee club. Quinn agrees to let Terri secretly adopt her baby, enabling her to continue faking her pregnancy.

The glee club perform in front of the school for the first time in an attempt to recruit new members. Will takes a second job as a janitor and grows closer to Emma, the school guidance counselor, who determines not to become his rebound girl and instead accepts a date with football coach Ken Tanaka. Terri discovers she is having a hysterical pregnancy, but hides the truth from Will, telling him they are having a son. Cheerleaders Santana, Brittany, and Finn's girlfriend Quinn join New Directions, recruited by coach Sue Sylvester to help bring down the club. Rachel and Finn kiss while practicing singing, but Finn chooses to return to Quinn.
