I know I'm not speaking for myself when I say that I've been walking around with a broken heart for the last few days. I haven't been bawling uncontrollably but I was at the end of Glee's season 4 episode 4 also named "The Break-Up". And trust me they were not kidding, 4 couples relationships had been tested and now they are over. Here are the four:
1. Finn and Rachel: Though at the end of last season we were lost as to whether they had definitely broken up or they had just taken a break (more like Finn took off to let Rachel follow her dreams). This episode finally let us understand what was happening, and even though I saw a little bit of hope for their relationship, they called it quits. However, as a Finchel fan I hope it's not permanent.
2.Blaine and Kurt: I know Klaine fans everywhere were devastated because this was a couple we had all rooted for and that most never expected would ever break up (the Whitney Houston tribute episode I believe was just a small strain). But in the last two episodes of this season we saw Kurt becoming really busy with his new Vogue internship and we saw Blaine missing him, but to what point? In this episode we found out Blaine was missing the attention of Kurt so bad that he cheated on him and hooked up with another guy. That had HEARTBREAK written all over it, and Kurt was just not able to forgive him for that. But just like Finchel, I hope Klaine finds a way to be together once again.
3.Brittany and Santana: I was kind of shocked about Brittany and Santana's break-up especially after singing Taylor Swift's "Mine" to Brittany. But distance really does pull a couple apart, as we saw with Tina and Mike at the beginning, and now Blaine and Kurt, as well as Brittany and Santana. Britana fans I hope we also see another reunion in the future.
4.Will and Emma: Ok, I won't lie I'm confused as to whether or not they're broken up. I mean they're engaged but Mr. Schue wants to move to Washington I believe to be able to get funding for the arts for schools. However, Emma doesn't want to drop everything and leave the job she loves to do this. Who's going to take over the New Directions if Mr. Schue happens? Does this mean that Will and Emma are over, and there's no more wedding? Who do you think is right?
"The Break-Up" was definitely an emotional episode but it also centered around our newer characters. We had the opportunity to see more of Kitty's craziness (she has a club dedicated to the Christian book series "Left Behind", she talks about how to be saved and even pulls a mock-rapture trick on a student in the group), and we also saw Jacob and Marley get a little closer, but once again Jacob pulled away. And as for our original cast Finn returned to McKinley (by the way did I mention that he was discharged from the army for accidentally shooting himself in the thigh, and was backpacking all across Georgia), and helped the Glee club by helping them choose the next school musical, GREASE. Now before you get too excited sit still, because unfortunately Glee is going on a four week hiatus (thanks to MLB; MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL) and should be back on Thursday, Nov. 8th at the same time 9 ET/ 8 CT on FOX.
