Sweet Dreams (Glee)

Glee club director Will Schuester (Matthew Morrison) announces that the theme for Regionals is "Dreams", and finds out that Roz Washington (Nene Leakes) has been called to replace Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch) as coach of the Cheerios.

The New Directions disagrees with Will's set list for Regionals, and Marley Rose (Melissa Benoist) suggests that they perform original songs, but Will refuses.

Rachel is invited for a callback for Funny Girl, while Blaine becomes suspicious that Becky Jackson (Lauren Potter) knows more about Sue's dismissal than she is letting everyone know.

Michele sings the show's million-selling hit from the pilot episode, Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'", as part of her character's Funny Girl audition.

[4] Due to Monteith entering rehabilitation a week after filming was completed, and less than four months before his death, this episode marks Finn Hudson's final appearance on the show.

Special guest star Idina Menzel returns for the first time since the third season as Shelby Corcoran, who had previously coached both the Vocal Adrenaline and Troubletones show choirs.

Other recurring characters in this episode include McKinley's football coach Shannon Beiste (Dot-Marie Jones), glee club members Wade "Unique" Adams (Alex Newell), Marley Rose (Melissa Benoist), Jake Puckerman (Jacob Artist), Kitty Wilde (Becca Tobin) and Ryder Lynn (Blake Jenner), and cheerleader Becky Jackson (Lauren Potter).
