Artie has come to the realization that being a director is his true calling. As he, Coach Beiste, and Ms. Pillsbury are listening to Blaine and Rachel rehearse he realizes that they lack the sexuality needed to make the the experience more believable. He asks the two to remember what it was like the first time they had sex and apply it to their performances. One problem: They’re both virgins.

Blaine visits Dalton Academy and joins the Warblers for a performance of “Uptown Girl”. Afterwards, a new Warbler, Sebastian Smithe (Grant Gustin) introduces himself to Blaine. Sebastian says he’s heard so much about Blaine. He thought Blaine was “sex on a stick and sings like a dream”. He asks why he left Dalton and Blaine says that “McKinley is where his heart is”. Sebastian is clearly attracted to Blaine and asks that they meet up again so he can get “more insights” from Blaine.

In the locker room, Finn asks Puck about what condom he should use with Rachel. Puck says he never used them and that technique has worked for him “99% of the time” – Oh, Beth.

They begin to make out but Finn keeps stopping to make sure that Rachel is sure she wants to have sex. He even says that he was saving up for something special “a fancy hotel like Marriott” – romantic as hell! Rachel says she needs to do it before opening night because it is going to help her performance. This upsets Finn and he leaves.

Mike’s father approaches him while he is at school. He is upset that Mike is performing in the school musical. Mike says that he doesn’t want to be a doctor and he “will be a professional dancer”. His father says if he continues to waste his life on a child’s fantasy “you will no longer be my son”. And Mike replies ” Well, I guess I don’t have a dad anymore”.

Cooter asks Beiste out on a date. She is mad because she thinks he could get any woman he wants and she “doesn’t look the way pretty girls look”. He says that’s good because he doesn’t date girls he dates women.

Rachel holds another girls meeting about sexual advice. Quinn tells her to wait. Santana agrees, but because Finn is “terrible in bed”. Tina says losing her virginity was special because it was with somebody she loved. She said it was right and not rushed. Rachel is clearly touched by Tina’s admission.

He tells him that he is slowly accepting himself for what he is. Kurt then cuts in on Sebastian and Blaine with his signature shoulder shimmy.

Rachel tells Finn that he just has to have new dreams because he has outgrown his old ones. Rachel apologizes for her approach towards their last almost sexual encounter.

The episode ends with some Eskimo kisses, smiles, held hands, and hair rubs being shared between Blaine & Kurt and Rachel & Finn.

Tonight – Blaine and Rachel: Solid C rating…I’m supposed to believe that these two over achievers aren’t off-book yet?

Uptown Girl – The Warblers: Solid B rating…I missed the all-boy musical synchronicity this group provided…unfortunately when they aren’t led by Blaine I don’t get the same tingles (although Sebastian was magical).

A Boy Like That – Santana and Rachel: Solid C rating….maybe it was because they chopped it up, but mostly I found this performance only ‘bleh’ because Santana and Rachel have zero chemistry together.

America – Santana, Puck and cast: “Solid” B/C rating….something about this performance wasn’t enough (perhaps this was because the musical seemed completely thrown together), which hurts, because Santana at her finest is usually all I need.

One hand, one heart – Blaine and Rachel: Solid B rating…cool soundtrack for the sexual cliffhanger and better than their other (mini) performance, which was why it earned a B, instead of the original C I’d planned to give it.
