The final season of Glee is set to feature many of the show's graduated characters returning to their hometown of Lima, Ohio. This allows the series to go full circle after many of the characters either went their separate ways (Quinn) or collectively moved to New York (Kurt, Santana, Blaine, Sam, etc.).
