The episode will feature a huge performance of the song I Know Where I've Been from Hairspray. As Glee EP Dante DiLoreto says in the sneak peek, the performance is a big deal.
"It's the climactic moment in the episode where we reveal a 200-person, proud, strong, transgender choir," he says. "It is incredibly uplifting working with this choir. This isn't about tolerance, it's about coming home and coming home to who you really are -- and who you're meant to be and who you're meant to be with."
The sneak peek shows Beiste stepping into the middle of the choir, surrounded by supportive voices. It is sure to be an emotional episode in Glee's already emotional final season.
