Glee Episode 12: Silly Love Songs Recap


We see puck lost in though as he monologues about his new crush on Lauren Zizes (the latest addition to New Directions) apparently ever since sectionals, where he promised that if she joined that he would give her ‘seven minutes of heaven’. However upon conducting this, Lauren calls him out as ‘scrawny’ and ‘not very good at this’. Her rejection shocks Puck and he starts to feel attracted towards her.

Finn struts down the school corridors enjoying his revived popularity and adoration since winning the championship game last episode. Even getting a valentine’s offer from Becky as she hands him a candy heart, which he adds to the bucketful collection in his locker.

However out of all his valentine’s day offers he has set his sights on the (taken) Quinn, who with he shared a kiss at the end of last week’s episode. Its now ‘game on’.

Blane and Kurt debate about the ethics of Valentine’s Day in a cafe. Kurt states it as an excuse to buy cheap candy and paper cards, while Blane expresses how it’s his favourite holiday because it encourages people to ‘lay it all out on the line’ and confess.

Blane also tells of how he wants to confess his feelings to a guy, asking ‘if it is too much to sing to a guy on Valentines Day?’ Sparking hope in Kurt. That is further flamed up when Blane takes charge at the cashier reciting Kurt’s coffee order and paying before Kurt can make an objection.

In glee club Mr. Schuester writes ‘LOVE’ in a big heart on the white board and announces they will sing to a partner what they consider to be the best love song.

Finn proclaims that since winning the football championship he is the closest thing that glee club has to a celebrity and he wishes to give back to charity (like a celebrity). His method will be to set up a kissing booth at $1 a kiss and give the proceeds to Glee club. All a tactic to get Quinn to kiss him again. Lol

Santana insults Finn by saying that she’s kissed him and it isn’t worth a dollar, whereby she is called out as a bitch. A round of bitching ensues, but Rachel takes its too far when she infers that all Santana will become is a poll dancer. Santana subsequently storms out. Aww where is the love?

Puck invites Lauren out to bread sticks to dinner, but she refuses not letting him have it that easy. ‘I spell woman Z-I-Z-E-S and I need to be wooed’.

Blane announces at a warblers meeting that he is in love and asks help from the warbles so he can ‘serenade’ that person. Kurt is all aflutter thinking it’s him.

However Blane causes outrage when he requests do perform off campus, something they never do. Kurt sticks up for Blane convincing them to do the performance. Where? At the gap. Why? Because the guy he likes is a junior manager. Poor Kurt.

The guys in glee club accompany Puck as he sings ‘Fat Bottomed Girls’ to Lauren for his valentine’s glee project. However Lauren is not impressed.

At the kissing stall Quinn catches on to Finns idea, but Sam does too. Sam states that if there is nothing going on between them what would be the problem with kissing Finn? Quinn says that she will kiss Finn then.

Rachel approaches Finn saying that she is over him and happy on her own. However after only getting a kiss on the cheek confesses that she is still in love with him. He gives her a star necklace he was planning on giving her for Christmas before they broke up. Finn thinks that its best for her not to be with anyone at the moment.

Mike and Artie ponder on how they came to date two of the coolest chicks in school. Artie ‘because we’re dope’ They sing P.T.Y (well Artie sings and Mike dances).

Santana and Lauren get into a bitch fight over Puck. Santana on the loosing side. However Lauren still won’t go out with Puck.

Quinn kisses Finn at the booth and literally fire works happen, (while Sam insists on watching lol) as they leave she runs back and tells him to meet her at the auditorium after school.

Kurt is with Blane at Gap checking out his crush ‘if we were to get married the gap would give me %50 discount’. Kurt convinces Blane to make his song confession with the Warblers. It’s ‘when I get you alone’ but his crush doesn’t seem so into it. It turns out he’s not interested.

Santana laments on how she is single for Valentines Day and notices that Quinn and Finn seem to have something going on. She kisses a kid with mono (see seems to be immune due to having it so much ‘its turned into stereo’) then kisses Finn.

Puck continues to woo Lauren in the library (a place he has never been before) and finally convinces her by proposing with a candy ring to go on predate (because on Valentines Day they will be too busy kissing.)

Quinn meets up with Finn passing on the mono.

Blane turns sour on Valentines Day over his failed confession. Kurt confesses that he though Blane wanted to ask out was him. Blane confesses this time that he isn’t good with romance. Caring for Kurt a lot, he didn’t want to screw up a good thing. They decide to make it like ‘When Harry meet Sally’ with Kurt as Meg Ryan. Cute.

Puck makes out with a waitress after being stood up at Breadsticks.

At glee club Finn appears sick and so does Quinn.

Tina sings her valentines day song to mike, ‘my funny valentine’ but breaks out in tears. It’s not pretty.

After the song Finn and Quinn ask to go to the nurse. Santana suggests that they have mono ‘the kissing disease’ spread by tongue… (when her first kiss with Finn was just a peck)

At the nurse’s office Quinn sighs over her cheating ‘I’ve cheated twice in my life. The first time I got pregnant. The second time I got mono’ Quinn decides to call it off until they sort out their love life.

Puck confronts Lauren about being stood up. She says that they are going take is slow.

In the sick bay Rachel looks after Finn, but complains Quinn is prettier than her. She thanks him for choosing her over Quinn before, and asks if she kissed Quinn like Santana said. Finn says yes, but only to get it out of his system. He says he saw fireworks with Quinn but not with Rachel, but this allows her to peace.

Inspired she sings ‘Fireworks’ by Katie Perry for Glee club. She has dinner with the glee club at bread sticks for a ‘lonely hearts club’ where Kurt sings with the warblers ‘Silly love songs’ dedicated to all singles.

Comments:

If only I could watch this before every Valentines Day, or at least the ones alone. It gave me warm fuzzes on how this episode emphasised that Valentines Day wasn’t all about romantic love and giving gifts, its about the all kinds of love around us. The love between friends and family, but also the love we need to give ourselves Truly we are never without someone to love on valentines day. All we need to do is a bit of song and dance to help us remember that.
