This week we get a double helping of Glee! It could not have been better because these two episodes quite arguably were the best two of the entire season, and most resembled the first season which is what drew everyone in in the first place. 'Props' was basically the prelude to Nationals, and included a really fun body switching plot line that thrust Tina into the spotlight.

Rachel is still reeling from her failed audition, and so we see her leaving messages for Carmen Tibideaux trying to convene her to come to Nationals to watch Rachel perform. Rachel gives a beautiful and moving performance, and it reminds me so much of the old Rachel that felt out of place and was vying for her place in the spotlight.

Tina SLAYED this song!!! I'm so glad Tina got some recognition for being one of the original members of New Directions and got the chance to prove that she is a talented vocalist. After Tina falls into a water fountain and receives a concussion, she has a dream that everyone has body swapped, and what ensues is hilarious. Puck and Finn as Blaine and Kurt respectively had to be the best part. Tina swapped with Rachel, and through this they laid to rest hard feelings towards each other, and basically set up Tina as the female lead of the New Directions for next year.

I've included this performance simply so you could see the body switch and Tina's killer vocals:

Once again we get a well-deserved focus on Puck and Coach Beiste as they struggle with their own problems. This Taylor Swift (yuck!) song was done beautifully by these two, and they actually made me like the song. This is the type of thing that would have fit right at home in Season 1. It was really great.

After helping Rachel meet Carmen Tibideaux and plead her case, Tina joins Rachel on stage for a duet that she has wanted to do for years. The girls' voices mesh really well, and after having seen this I would have loved to see more duets with these two in the past. The performance was a culmination of the entire episode and could not have been a more poignant moment. I know I keep saying this, but it really felt like Season 1 and I could not have loved it more.

Even though the body switching was a little outlandish, it brought back all those memories of Season 1 and the phenomenon that was Glee. We all know the show has declined over the past two years, but this episode (and the following one) shows that all the elements are there, but they just have to be done properly to bring back that magic. Seeing everyone as each other was a hoot, and watching Finn and Puck be a cute gay couple was one of the highlights of the season. And what about Artie's ponytail? Comedy gold. I really liked that we got to see more depth from Puck. He gets into a fight with the captain of the hockey team because he was gone from being Top Dog to Bottom Loser. He then has an emotional breakdown with Beiste, and that leads her to finally end it with Cooter. Both plot lines were actually well done for once, and they made the episode even more perfect. If you watch any episode this season, it MUST be this one.
