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) There was a scene where Quinn was all "gonna tattle on Rachel/Finn/Kurt!" and Santana and Brittany said "But then we'd be in trouble," and Quinn said "And then we'll lose. Crap." I think she just planned on getting them in trouble somehow--no real PLAN ahead of time--and then couldn't do it without sabotaging the club as a whole, which didn't help HER any. tl;dr, Quinn is not as smart as she thinks she is.

3) It's clearly near the end of the school year--that meeting is the FINAL Glee meeting of the year so it's possible it's even the last day--and it's possible that if it's that close, Kurt's already had finals in some classes and doesn't have some of his regular classes. (I know it worked like that in college for me, but IDK if it applies to high school.) That in combination with an hour lunch period could explain it, assuming the Lima Bean is close enough. I'm also assuming that Dalton lets out for the year a couple days before McKinley. Or Blaine ditched class one day to see Kurt and tell him he loves him. =D

Honestly I handwave a lot of Blaine's hanging around Lima with "he's rich and gas money isn't a problem for him," based solely on the fact that he attends Dalton, lol. I also assume that Blaine and Kurt's houses are somewhere between Lima and Westerville so it isn't impossible for Kurt to go to Blaine's sometimes. And, really, with what Blaine said about his relationship with his dad, it isn't so far-fetched that he'd want to hang out at Kurt's with Burt and Finn anyway. (CANNOT WAIT to see the rest of the Andersons, hopefully the Powers That Be don't pull a Rachel's Dads on that one.)

IDK about #2. I saw a couple of the pictures but all I really SAW was Rachel's amazing coat.
