If, and it’s a big if, the New Directions manage to escape Sue’s (Jane Lynch) draconian cuts, this will stand as the triumphant moment when everyone came together to save a beloved institution. It’s a bittersweet party as old feelings are dredged up and a couple of people try desperately to save the sinking ship.

This week’s installment, “100,” is the first of two parts in which glee clubbers old and new come together to celebrate the New Directions in its final week of existence, before the series moves almost exclusively to New York, where it has been splitting its time for the past season and a half. Winner: The second one if only because Santana gets to dance with Brit-Brit, too.Although Glee already has an end date set for spring 2015, we still have about 25% of the show’s entire run to get through before then, so as much as things are winding down, they aren’t over. Now: Santana brings it on once again, but this time she (and Jake) joins the dance party.
Then: At Sectionals, Santana belts out her first solo in a competition, while Brittany and Mike dance their butts off. In spite of (or maybe because of) Kurt purposely blowing the first diva-off, it had the weight and spectacle that a song like “Defying Gravity” demands. Winner: What’s with subduing the three powerhouse voices? The producers might’ve been going for a different feel than the original but Rachel, Mercedes, and Kurt could’ve easily reached and sustained those high notes like that. Now: It’s still a diva-off-this time between Rachel and Mercedes, with Kurt as, I dunno, a buffer between the two? If you can recall, Burt had received an anonymous phone call from a homophobe attacking Kurt just before the diva-off. Then: Kurt and Rachel compete for a solo at Sectionals, which Kurt throws at the last minute for his dad. Also, can the Unholy Trinity never ever be apart again? And one last thing, how about them abs of Heather Morris who gave birth just a few months before taping? I mean, an NSFW number with your teacher? No, thanks.
Winner: Love the harmonies in the first one, but I’m glad Mr. Nate Archibald from Gossip Girl! Chace Crawford’s characters have the snobbiest names. Santana, Quinn, and Brittany bust out their old uniforms and some itty-bitty lingerie for a smokin’ number, only to be ignored by Biff McIntosh-a.k.a. Schue do a racy performance at the school assembly and cause a “sex riot,” according to Sue Sylvester. I do love the throwbacks in the new one, though, like Blaine’s “fakeout” during the bridge and the Unholy Trinity’s “I Say A Little Prayer” moves. Winner: I love me some Kristin Chenoweth, but Darren Criss (and his eyebrows) and the Warblers were in fine form in the first one, so I’m going to have to go with the original. Now: April Rhodes (Kristin Chenoweth) takes the lead as practically everyone from the new and old New Directions fist pumps and jumps to the song. Then: Back when Blaine and Kurt were Warblers, the all-boys group sang “Raise Your Glass” at Regionals, where they finished in second. Schue says you come home and reinvent old songs of the New Directions, you do. Rachel, Kurt, Mercedes, Quinn, Santana, Brittney, Mike, and Puck are all back for their final glee club assignment, never mind college or work.
So, did you catch Glee’s 100 th episode and Pretty Little Liars' season finale last night? Hanna Marin summarizes my feels about Glee pretty well: “I want to hug you and slap you at the same time.” But like what Hanna does to Alison-who’s really, really alive now-I’m giving this episode a hug if only for the nostalgia.
