Spoilers about this episode:

• All the kids get drunk.
• Rachel gets drunk before a performance.
• Figginns throws up on Sue.

• Brittany channels Ke$ha, she’ll take the lead during the performance of Tik Tok.
• A big country themed number, it’s rumored to be a Taylor Swift song. Source

According to TVLine:

• Blaine’s sexuality will be raised in Blame it on the Alcohol. Ryan Murphy tells TVLine to“watch the entire episode” before jumping to any conclusions. In the current issue of Out, Murphy said,“Blaine will openly question whether bisexuality is real,” “I think that some people will love that discussion and some will not love it.” Apparently it will involve a game of spin the bottle, my guess Blaine kisses Rachel. Murphy also hinted that the plot’s message is more about common sense than sexual orientation. All but confirming that Blaine’s bi-curiosity is sparked by an encounter with a member of the opposite sex, Murphy teases, “I guess the moral of the story is don’t play spin the bottle while drunk on wine coolers.” Source
• Blaine will mess around with… Rachel! Fox’s promo department already spoiled it — he macks on Rachel! It all goes down at what Mercedes refers to as, “The Rachel Berry House Party Train Wreck Extravaganza!” Source

They have some conversations Burt neverthought he would have to have.” Blaine-related, no doubt. Source

• In Glee’s casting breakdown, producers are looking are casting two roles inmediately (two episode starts shooting Tuesday, Feb 22nd).

Contrary to what’s been reported, TVLine’s source said that Tammy Jean, theD-Listed liberal’s home-schooling Tea Party candidate character, isn’t really anything like the controversial former Alaskan governor. Devine will play Sister Mary Constance: Though the character wears a halo and a habit now, she is said to have worn a lot less in her former profession, at least by the end of a shift: She used to be a stripper!
