Many graduates of the glee club have returned, as have special guest stars Kristin Chenoweth as April Rhodes and Gwyneth Paltrow as Holly Holliday.
Holly Holliday (Gwyneth Paltrow) and April Rhodes (Kristin Chenoweth) are deciding how to save the glee club.
Tina then enters the choir room as Rachel Berry (Lea Michele), Sam Evans (Chord Overstreet), and Artie Abrams (Kevin McHale) pack up the Glee Club’s trophies, which saddens her.
In the auditorium, Kurt and Mercedes (Amber Riley) have gathered all their friends and the current Glee Club to reminisce and to try to help mend the feud between Rachel and Santana Lopez (Naya Rivera).
Dressed as Temple Grandin, Holly leads a class in a performance of Eddie Murphy's "Party All the Time".
Sue, however, is not amused, having received many angry letters from concerned organizations, thus marking the end of Holly's extracurricular musical experiment.
Tina informs Blaine, Sam and Artie that she was rejected from Mitzvah University, a school she applied to so she could be with her friends in New York.
After the song, the Glee Club members share in a group hug while April and Holly watch from the auditorium entrance and congratulate themselves for a job well done.
Back in the choir room, Will meets Sue, who admits that Will's work in the Glee Club helped change many kids lives - and his own - for the better, and says she will miss the fighting between them.
Will is hesitant, but Sue argues that Will needs to be doing what he is passionate about - teaching Glee Club - and he could do many good things with the healthy budget that Vocal Adrenaline has.
[1] The first part of the two-parter had been directed by Paris Barclay, and written by Falchuk along with the other two co-creators, Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan.
The remaining four songs are new to the show: Eddie Murphy's "Party All the Time" sung by Paltrow; Oh Honey's "Be Okay" performed by Michele and Naya Rivera; "I Am Changing" from the musical Dreamgirls featuring Colfer and Riley; and Pink featuring Nate Ruess's "Just Give Me a Reason" sung by Salling and Agron.
[4][7] A seventh song, Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse of the Heart", which was to be sung by Chenoweth and Morrison, was cut from the episode, although it is included on the album.
