Gleebasing: A 'Home' Means Kristin Chenoweth and Life-Size Cheeseburgers

No, you were not hallucinating during last night's hit of Glee. Lea Michele did only have three throwaway lines. Tony Award-nominated actor Jonathan Groff was paid to walk around in a gigantic cheeseburger costume. Emma Pillsbury (the red-headed guidance counselor Lindsay Lohan slammed for slamming her) was curiously M.I.A. after nearly losing her virginity to the Schue last week. And Cory Monteith spent the episode directing comically over-the-top line readings to a leather La-Z-Boy. To paraphrase Juno, It started with a chair...and ended with Finn threatening to flush his dad's ashes down the toilet.

This week's episode "Home," kicked off with Sue Sylvester telling Mercedes that she had to drop ten pounds by the end of the week. The reason was hazy: Mercedes was wearing track uniforms over her Cheerios outfit because she didn't feel comfortable exposing that much flesh. Also, a journalist would be arriving at the end of the week to do another story on the Cheerios. With that vague warning, Sue Sylvester dropped another non sequitur ("I'm going to put a call into the Ohio secretary of state notifying them that I will no longer be carrying photo I.D. Do you know why? People should know who I am").

Sue also used her blackmail power to annex the auditorium for the entire week. "That's garbage. We need the auditorium to practice for regionals!" shouted Robo-Finn. Instead of boosting the glee club's morale by beat-boxing the first verse of "Somewhere," Schue break-danced over to the nearest roller rink to inquire about leasing space. That Will Schuester is so resourceful!

At the roller rink, Schue re-discovered Kristin Chenoweth's April, who greeted him by shouting "Will Schuester, I just had a sex dream about you!" into the microphone. They sang Springsteen's "Fire" at the rink before taking the duet back to Schue's apartment, which April said she wanted to sub-lease. They ended up in bed together, singing "One Less Bell to Answer." At the end of the episode, April inherited $2 million of hush money from her tycoon boyfriend and announced that she will buy the auditorium for Schue's club.

Meanwhile, Kurt set his widowed father up with Finn's widowed mother, hoping that the pair would fall in love and move in together, meaning that Kurt and Finn could be roommates. When Kurt's father bonded with Finn over sports, Kurt aborted his Parent Trap plan.

Back at school, Mercedes became so hungry after limiting her caloric intake that she imagined that her friends were walking cupcakes and cheeseburgers before passing out. Surprisingly, Quinn came to her side in the nurse's office, explaining that she had once suffered from an eating disorder. By the end of the episode, Mercedes sang "Beautiful" at a pep rally, inviting anyone else in the audience who ever felt fat or ugly to join her. The journalist falsely believed that Sue Sylvester had designed this inclusive performance and credited her: "You got every shape and size Cheerio up there singing about empowerment and inclusion."

HIGH NOTES

· Sue Sylvester asking Kurt and Mercedes, "How do you two not have a show on Bravo?"

· The Splits journalist telling Sue, "You're bossy, insulting and the fact that twice you called me Rerun makes me think you're a little racist"

· Schue and April showing up the rest of the episode with last night's couples skate duet of Springsteen's "Fire"

LOW NOTES

· Schue and April's "One Less Bell to Answer" duet may have been one of the most technically strong performances of last night's episode, but it lacked the energy and choreography that this episode really needed

· Mercedes' pep rally rendition of Christina Aguilera's "Beautiful"

· Finn's story line about not wanting his mother to get rid of his father's recliner chair. Apparently, the only picture Finn has of himself with his father was staged on that very chair
