Glee: red herrings, plots that went nowhere, and stuff that made no sense

[rm]

1. Wasn't Quinn supposed to have some vengeance plotline this episode? Where did that go? Instead she got a haircut? Did she have an actual narrative that was excised so we could get the Klaine and Samcedes post-Nationals stuff?

2. Remember the shooting spoilers from NY, specifically the Tiffany & Co scene with the key and the post-it note and all the ridiculous speculation we engaged in? I could see it in the window when Kurt leads Rachel away from Tiffany, but clearly it wasn't anything. Was it a plotline at one point? Or were the creators just trolling us again?

3. Okay, when Blaine and Kurt have their ILU scene, Blaine says they are on their way to buy sheet music. Blaine is out of uniform and Mercedes says she'll see Kurt later in class. Later, we see Kurt in class in the same outfit he was wearing in the Lima Bean. This raises the following questions:

- While Blaine's out of uniform status can be explained away by the frequently different calendars public and private schools run on, what the fuck sort of schedule do Kurt and Mercedes have that it's a) shocking to run into each other in the middle of the day, b) sheet music stores are open that Kurt and Blaine have time to go to and c) class happens sometimes after that? Can anyone untangle this? ANYONE AT ALL?

1. NO KIDDING. I was waiting and waiting for her vengeance moment, and then she got a haircut and that made her all happy fine. WTF?

3. Realistic time and schedules mean NOTHING. Because I assumed weekend or after school until Mercedes said see you in class. So then I thought "before school???" but why wouldn't Blaine be in uniform and what music store would be open? So I'm going with the late arrival day or long lunch period for the sake of my head, and handwaving the no-uniform. As far as being shocked to run into each other, I've always got the impression that the Lima Bean was NOT a normal New Directions hang out, and was on the outskirts or something. So maybe Sam and Mercedes were assuming this was far enough away that they wouldn't run into anyone, and Mercedes is just blanking on the "duh, Kurt and Blaine are always there" part. Also, I think some of the shock was just Kurt being caught in "I love you" afterglow.

That got rambly and didn't actually solve anything. Oh well.
