'Glee' Season 5 Spoilers: Kurt Abused Because Of Sexuality & Rachel Bullied Ahead of Broadway Debut? [VIDEO]
With Glee becoming an exclusively New York-set show, fans were left wondering how the cast could be integrated into the big city, but that doesn't seem to be a concern based on new plot descriptions.
Sue Sylvester "Falls In Love" While Visiting New York & Is "Changed?"
It seems that the next three episodes of Glee after this Tuesday's move-to-New York episode will heavily focus on Rachel (Lea Michele) and Kurt (Chris Colfer). The 15th episode of the season, titled Bash, will feature both Rachel and Kurt struggling to thrive in the city.
"Rachel takes the next step in committing to her role in Funny Girl," the plot synopsis reads. "Meanwhile, Kurt is the victim of an attack because of his sexual preference."
Kurt & Blaine Go Through "Difficult" Times After Move To New York?
Episode 16 features an intriguing new storyline that suggests trouble in paradise for Kurt and newly-moved-in fiancee Blaine (Darren Criss). In the episode, which is titled Tested, Blaine will discover a new love of "cronuts" and gains weight in the process. He will notice Kurt becoming more confident and physically fit, which results in Blaine behaving uncharacteristically.
Meanwhile, Artie (Kevin McHale) finds himself to be quite the ladies' man at film school, though he gradually learns that playing the field comes with a price. Elsewhere, Sam (Chord Overstreet) and Mercedes (Amber Riley) experience life as a couple. Mercedes tells Sam that she is still a virgin, and while Sam agrees to take things slow, he ultimately hopes to expedite the process.
The next episode of Glee is titled Opening Night, and as the title suggests, Rachel will make her big Broadway debut in Funny Girl. In the episode, Rachel becomes obsessed with her own self-image after looking at vicious Internet bloggers and commenters. Kurt tries to turn the apartment into an entirely positive "love bubble" in order to curb her insecurities.
This episode will feature Will (Matthew Morrison) and Sue (Jane Lynch) traveling to New York in order to support Rachel. The always negative Sue will assume that Rachel is going to fail on the big stage.
All of these episodes will air through April each Tuesday on Fox.
Glee season 5 airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on Fox.
