Glee Takes a "New Direction"

The shocking kiss at the end of every other episode of Glee is starting to get old. It was a sweet surprise at the end of season one, leaving fans thirsty for more Will and Emma.

So, in this episode, Mike was too focused on his dancing that he lost track of what his father wants, all A-pluses, and no social life. Also in these passing episodes,...
