Ask Ausiello: Spoilers on Next Week's 'A'-Plus Glee (Plus Ep 5′s Big Rachel-Kurt News)!
Tired of
Glee hijacking 75 percent of Ask Ausiello week in and week out? Or are you peeved that it’s not
100 percent? Well, I figured out how to make everyone happy… at least
this week.
Feast your eyes on this, a special edition of AA that focuses exclusively on
Glee — or more specifically, on next week’s standout episode, “Asian F,” of which I have seen (and
adored). But how about we start off with a massive spoiler about an episode a little
further down the road…
Question: It definitely seems like Episode 5 will have a few Finchel scenes. Is there anything you could tell us about that? —Sussi
Ausiello: That’s the understatement of the decade, Sussi. While next week’s “Asian F” showcases Mercedes and Mike like never before, the Nov. 8 episode puts Rachel and Kurt — and their respective relationships with Finn and Blaine — front and center. In a big,
big way.
How big we talking? Well, according to a
Glee insider, Episode 5 finds the
Wicked BFFs both losing their virginity. Appropriately, the title of the ep is “The First Time.”
Random “Asian F” Scoopbit: John Stamos’ Dr. Carl gets not one but
two shout-outs!
Question: Can you elaborate on your tweet about Finn having to choose between Rachel and Kurt in “Asian F”? —Paulina
Ausiello: Let’s just say that Rachel makes a controversial decision in the episode that pits her squarely against Kurt — much to Finn’s dismay.
Random “Asian F” Scoopbit: Will shows Emma his special box!
Question: To me it looks like Mercedes is the big selfish Diva. She’s admitted to never rehearsing, doesn’t want to learn to dance, and yet she still wants the spotlight. Do they touch on this in “Asian F” or do they go straight to slamming Rachel, even though she actually works really hard to earn the solos and roles she gets? —Sarah
Ausiello: Mercedes’ diva-tude is
more than addressed. In fact, her antics are the catalyst for one of the episode’s big musical numbers. (Hint: Think
Dreamgirls.)
Random “Asian F” Scoopbit: BreadstiX delivers!
Question: Can you elaborate on the “light PDA” Kurt/Blaine share in “Asian F”? —Car
Ausiello: There’s body contact, but no kissing.
Random “Asian F” Scoobit: Someone wants to cancel
The Rachel Berry Show.
Question: Is there trouble ahead for Kurt and Blaine? —MeMe
Ausiello: I think I answered that question earlier this week.
Random “Asian F” Scoopbit: There’s a Mike Chang scene that is very reminiscent of
Billy Elliott.
Question: After “Asian F,” are Mike and Tina still a couple? —Lacey
Ausiello: Yes. There’s a
very romantic, moving Mike-Tina scene that’s set in the dance hall… but there’s a catch.
Random “Asian F” Scoopbit: The episode flashes back numerous times to a female character’s childhood.
Question: Will Quinn and Puck find any resolution with their daughter and Shelby? Puck was so cute with Beth this week! —Kathleen
Ausiello: Quinn and Puck are on the backburner in this episode, but the Quinn/Puck/Shelby/Beth imbroglio
will heat up later this season.
Random “Asian F” Scoopbit: Jimmy Fallon gets a shout-out!
Question: Any word on if Brittany and Santana will finally become an official couple? —Craig
Ausiello: No word, but I
can tell you that there are two cute/funny Brittana scenes (one bitchy, the other celebratory) next week. Personally, I’m ecstatic that these two are back to being BFFs with occasional bennies. All of that relationship
sturm und drang last season was sucking the fun out of them. There, I said it.
Random “Asian F” Scoopbit: The episode ends with a twist involving Shelby.
Question: During the episode’s climactic “Fix You” musical number, do we get shots of the glee kids? —Enviado
Ausiello: Yes, but the focus is on Will and Emma. Speaking of which, Will finally “meets the parents,” and is slightly disturbed to learn that they are (prepare to LOL)
ginger supremacists!
