• Glee’s Dianna Agron: Quinn Still Misses New Directions. Despite smoking with her new “friends” under the bleachers and refusing to reunite the unholy trinity, Quinn did gaze wistfully at the glee club she’s vowed to leave behind by the end of the season premiere. “How can she not miss that?” Agron says. “These are her friends and no matter if she’s had turmoil with them, especially with some of the guys, they’re people that supported her. She had a baby and nobody shunned her, so as much as she wants to be different and step outside of that, I think it would be dishonest to not have her have some feelings of longing for that.” Source

SPOILERS:

On this episode: Source

• Let’s just say Kurt (Chris Colfer) is apparently into younger men. See what we revealed there?! Other than that, you’ll see Kurt and Blaine (Darren Criss) both go after the same role in McKinley High’s production of West Side Story.
• There’s a Brittana scene in the next episode that should make you happy, along with one of the best lines of the episode that includes the word “genius,” and what certainly appears to be (at least from where I’m sitting!) some real feelings on Brittany’s part.
• Finchel definitely has “the talk” in tomorrow night’s episode. While Rachel (Lea Michele) makes it clear that she would love for Finn (Cory Monteith) to follow her to NYC after graduation, he’s not sure if he has the same big-city dreams. Differences aside, this scene is still probably going to make you all squeal with delight at just how cute it is! (I know I did!) Finn even tells Rachel, “You’re the best girlfriend ever.” Swoon!
• Shelby Corcoran (Idina Menzel) is back in Lima and she has brought along the most precious baby you could ever imagine! Picture a mini Quinn (Dianna Agron) with Puck’s (Mark Salling) “dopey smile.” Puck is 100 percent ready to be a part of Beth’s life (even creating a new animal for her!), while Quinn makes a very important and deceptive decision after learning of Shelby’s return.

On future episodes:

• New Gay Warbler to Come Between Kurt and Blaine! Sources confirm to TVLine exclusively that Glee has tapped up-and-coming theater actor Grant Gustin to play the recurring role of Sebastian, a gay Dalton Academy Warbler who sets his sights on Blaine. Source

Comment:

So what do you think about I am a Unicorn? With all the spoilers and hype about this episode I guess I had my expectations set too high… For some reason I did not enjoy this episode as much as I wish. I’ll keep watching for the Quinn, Puck, Beth and Shelby storyline… but everything else I am finding it a bit boring… How about you?
